BIG LEAGUE LEADERS HAVE SIGHTED THE WIRE;
HOME-STRETCH DASH BREAKS LOOSE TODAY
CUBS TIE PIRITESi
FOR »0 PLACE
mi Iran
The Giants broke even in a double
header with the Phillies yesterday. {
With Mathewson in the box, they won j
the flrst game by hatting Corridon off
the rubber in the flrst inning. The
Phillies hit "Matty” for two runs in
the first inning and after that he was
practically invincible.
In the second game, Wiltse. the
Giants' crack southpaw', was pitted
against Covnleski and the latter had
the better of the argument. The two
teams play again today. Arties and
McQuillen will probably be the oppos
ing pitchers.
The Cubs won from the Reds and
moved up to a tic with Pittsburg for
second place. Reulbach and Spade
wore the opposing twirlers, and the
former had the better of the argu
ment, pitching a two-liit game.
The Pirates had an off day, but will
tackle St. Louis today and tomorrow.
IfcCloskey and Clarke had a row be
cause Clarke wanted to play one of
the double-headers yesterday, but Me-
Clonkey set it for Saturday.
The ijodxers defeated the Doves in
a pretty pitcher's battle, in which Mc-
Intyre excelled.
PHILADELPHIA.—New York broke
even with Philadelphia here yester
day. The visiters knocked Corridon
off the rubber in the flrst inning of
the opening contest, but the locals
bunched hits off Mathewson and tied
the scere in the fourth Inning In the
last five innings Philadelphia could
get only two hits off Mathewson.
while Richie held his opponents to
three hits. New York scored the win
ning run in the sixth, w-hen. with
Devlin on first and two out. Magee
muffed a drive by Needham, the for
mer scoring. ,
Covaleski held'.New York to fn\t*
hits in the second game, and the
home team won easily. They knock
ed Wiltse eff the rubber in three in
nings. and batted McGinnity freely.
New York's runs were scored in the
sixth inning on two bases on balls
and Donlin’s double.

JENNINGS WANTS THREE MORE
GAMES TO FINISH AT THE TOP
(By PAUL H. BRUSKE.)
DETROIT. Mich—Firm in the belief that Itis team needs to win hut
three of ita remaining five games In order to make sure of the Arm r
ican league pennant, Hughey Jennings sent his champion Tigers to the
field today In the opening game rif the final home scries of the year
with the St. Ixtuls Browns as opponents. Jennings figures that Chica
go will put Cleveland out of It and then believes that Ills team will
keep up Its clip of all season against the White Sox In the wind-up at
Chicago. The men of Fielder Jones have been comparatively easy for
the Tigers In their Inter-club series this year. The fad that Detroit
has a four-point lead at present, Jennings reasons, Is alone enough to
make them the logical favorites, as the team has been playing grand
ball for the past two weeks.
Jennings plans to use Summers and Willett against the Browns,
with Killian, Donovan and Mullin for use in Chicago.
If the western teams of the American league finish their respective
schedules strictly according to form, playing off all their games that
still remain possible and with results which Ihe prior games of the r»
spectlve inter-club scries point out as logical, the Detroit Tigers will
again win the league pennant, with Cleveland a close second, Chicago
third, and St. Louis fourth.
Giants Must Win Them All
To Finish in First Place
NEW YORK.— Interest In the stirring fight for the National league
baseball championship Is more acute than ever today, following the de
velopments of yesterday which reduced New York's lead to two points
over Chicago and Pittsburg. The Giants have five more games to play,
two with Philadelphia and three with Boston, and must win them all,
unless Pittsburg and Chicago meet with unexpected reverses, to win
the peunant. Chicago and Pittsburg pla.v double-headers today, while
thi- Giants play a single game with Philadelphia. If the ( libs and
Pirates win both their games and the Giants score also, the three will
he tied for first place, allhough the Giants will he loss than half a
point behind on strict percentage figures,
Chicago has three games to play, two with Cincinnati today and
one with Pittsburg on Sunday at Chicago. If the Cubs win all three
New York inn lose one of their remaining five and still tie with Chi
cago. Pittsburg has four games to play, three with St. Louis and one
with Chicago. If the pirates win all four, the Giants must win all five
to hold their place at the lop. This leaves the protested game between
New York and Chicago out of consideration.

The four leading teams in the :

The mil* games scheduled were the
Philadelphia--Washington and New
York-Boston games.
The Athletics won front Washing [
ton in a pretty pitchers’ battle and
the Yankees defeated Boston, but the
results of these games did not affect
the standing of the clubs.
'I oe crucial series of the American
league series opens up Friday, whet
Detroit plays St. Louts and Cleve

These games should be rip-roarers
and worth going many miles to see.
and by Sunday some definite idea ol
how the four leaders are going to
stand can be gained
On Sunday the teams switch off,
Detroit playing Chicago and Cleve
land playing St. Louis, the seasoh
winding up tliai way. and the pen
mint may ho decided with the las;
game, ,lusl the same as the Southern
league pennant was decided.
The owners of the four contending
clubs have made arrangements to In
crease their grandstand capacity to
hold the enthusiastic fans, and this
is another evidence of how It pays
to get <ni( a winning team.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa,— With a very good prospoe! Ihat the raee In
the National league may run into Ihe fifth decimal place and bn rib
elded at a hoard meeting ul the league directors, the (linn's prepared
today to get arter the Phillies and lose no more of their lead
The lead is a load whether It Is three Inches or a mite, and as long
ns the Giants stick In Pont with always a chance ot n-winning In Pull
iam's office that game they won at llm Polo grounds from Chicago, it
Is obvious that they will win the pennant. McGraw explained this
very clearly Inal night
The Giants have the great chance to hold what they have, but It
Isn't as good as It might he. as you would realir.e. bad you seen Ihe
HWatsmitha of the Cradle or Liberty 8"t nfler New York's twirlora yea
leiduy McGraw says New York Is going to win and we have to lake
his word for It.
As a matter of dope, the Giants arc In. As a matter ol fact, thiy
moat decidedly are. not.
Bresnaban Is so lame that It hardly seems possible to use him; he
. Ih out In uniform, but just Hhlo to hobble around with nn sakle band

Many of the cleverest anil mosi
famous drivers of this country and
Europe will take part In the contest
mid If the records recently made are
noi smashed before Ihe racers finish
tomorrow night, the local automobile
world will be vastly disappointed.
One of the drivers who will send
a car over the course In Hie gruelling
speed test whose presence will excite
particular Interest, will be Tod Sloan
who was not so many years ago
famed for driving raeers of a differ
eni kind. He will drive uu Allen

The big contest will sturl at elgli'
o’clock Ibis evening and will proh
