Grand Forks during the week As a result of a Brace. Superior and fort William both have continued to be victims of most of the teams. Fargo too in spite of Radical alterations has failed to hit a winning stride. More changes will be necessary it is believed. The race la the Northern league has reached a determining and the games of the coming week May deter mine the relative positions at the wire.

I have missed almost As Many games this season As 1 did in previous baseball experience counting the times that i i att report until late too. Nobody is half As anxious for me to be in the game As i am to get Busy so the people who insinuate that i time about resuming malign me. The very fact that i played in Washington before i was really Strong Eno Vuth to go in had a lot to do with the length of my absence on account of a Frac tured thumb. If i had wanted two or three Days longer i might not have had to Lay off the second time. One of the Queerest things in baseball t o my mind is the Way Cleveland has been beating Walter Johnson lately. The naps this year Are not what could be called a particularly Dac Seroua club by an Means yet they have Given the e greatest Pitcher of the age two trim mings this season. And both of his conquered were twirlers of Little re Pute. The victories were Good solid hitting and Washington would have had to More than its nor nine to have either. I am willing to bet. However that the naps did t get the big swede on a dark Day. We tried to hit in Washington not loner ago when it was Cloudy and sprinkling and. The Fellows who got fouls became All swelled up on themselves. The tigers swore that he had As much this Day As Ever they had seen a Pitcher show arid we Only three hits two of them scratchy. It is Likely that he had something when he pitched against Cleveland but the Birmingham contingent has come the conclusion that he is its heaven sent prey now. And goes in against him with All the Confidence in the world. Baseball results National league. R. H. B. Philadelphia 11? at i. 3 9 ,1 Kluwer Mcquillan and Afore. Game today. No american today.

F pythias of Potmas Dauby o Brien has made some record continued from Page Sec _ _ Between Winnipeg and Duluth undoubtedly the Gonfalon race will be decided. Which club will deliver in the final six weeks is a matter of speculation Amanor the fans. The Eggers Are the favourites. the larger number of games at Home. Winnipeg is scheduled to play on their Home Field 33 More games while 11 Are to be offered on the Duluth on the other hand has but 1-5 games More in the Duluth Park Ajja 30 Are to be played on foreign Bew. This difference is what causes to pin their judgment upon the Canadian City. The Winona champions and Virginia have been fighting it out this week for third place. Both clubs have held the by r9yal Wyrant to his majesty Kino Georoe v. I John Mcgraw is probably a Little i worried because of the mediocre work of his giant s on their Western trip. In fact John admits that the club is not playing the sort of la capable of and he is making desperate efforts to convince his men that they Haven t any Lead pipe cinch on the Flag arid Are Likely to find somebody ahead of hem unless they get. A move on. New Tork managed to itself together and get an even break in Chicago which of course helped some but aside from this one series the work was not up to specifications. Now is the time for the champions to make a bid for a Lead that will cinch it the Yare at Home for a Long series and if they will keep hustling ought to be in a Nice Safe position before going on the Road again. The Home club seems to me to have every advantage in games played at tie Polo grounds. The grandstand is so big there that Light conditions both for Bat Ting and Fielding a liar. Fellows who play there air the time can accustom themselves to the shadows and the gloom but for the visitors it is a Tough spot. I must admit that i am very sur at the. Way the cubs have been going. I could t see. How this club denuded of so Many stars could hold up in the race but it is doing so and turning Mcgraw s hair Gray. I notice that the attendance in Chicago has returned to a satisfactory Point too. The fans who swore that they were through with the cubs forever because of Charlie Murphy s outland is Ness cannot keep Resolution in the face of a winning Ball club and they Are out there Yelling for o Days men just As loudly As though the never again oath had never been taken. It is a Lucky thing for mag nates that fans axe fickle for if All those Olio were sore on the Murphy regime cherished their grouches the club would lose a Bunch of Money despite its Good position i have heard a lot of Good reports about the St. Louis club of the National league. People Tell me that Huggins men Are fighting1 tooth and Nail for every game and that they think their chances for the Pennant Are As Good As anybody s. Possibly they Are at that for there is a Long Way to go yet in the race and nobody has by any Means sewed up the Bunting. Some very close and interest. S matches have taken place in tvs cub championship tournament now conducted at the courts of the Winnipeg Lawn terms club. In the mens open sing Lea event the thus far ascertained Ara messes Faetz be Latzkow and the Otje player who a most Avord As to reach this round is Arnber whose play this year seems greatly improved Over last year s form. Probably the Best match thus far was that Between Leistikow and Verf Ley which took place on wednesday. Leistikow the present Manitoba Cham Pion though lacking practice. Was considered the Tavonte. But Verley made him extend himself to the and by playing careful Tennis took the first set at a score of 6 to z and actually led in the second set at a to 3 and 40-love, but i Lestikow s usual Heady play and accurate net work got him out of this diff cult and by taking the second set at 10 to 8 the match stood one met All. Leistikow went into the Lead in the third set and again had Verley in when the score stood 5 to 3. Verley Here took a re and brought the score to 5 All Only to lose the next two games which meant set and match to his opponent. Verley undoubtedly possesses the prettiest style of any player on the Winnipeg courts but his took line game cannot withstand the telling net game of a player like Leistikow. New Comer to Winnipeg Leistikow by this Victory qualified to meet Betz in the Semi Linal rot inc who in turn had beater g. D. Holmes one of the oldest of Winnipeg s Best players. Betz is a new Comer who has ranked quite highly. In Germany. Though he lost the first set to Holmes at a score of 6 to 2, the second and third sets brought about Complete reverse of the form and he was never in any great Flanger. Great interest is Evinoff in the outcome of the meeting of Beta and Leistikow As both Are in the opinion of others hot favourites for the Manitoba championship. In the lower half of the draw Rad word won his Way into the Semi finals by defeating or. Wood a new Comer to Winnipeg Tennis. The latter has eliminated both Holmes and from the Handicap event. In the Handicap doubles bet and Lear have already reached the1 final round and Are awaiting the outcome 01 several matches to be played m the other half or the draw. The Date of the playing of the finals will be announced later and the club extends to All visitors a most Hearty invitation. Indianapolis. At put Tamburr liner and Berry. b.
