It was scrappy game throughout, both teams keeping Umpires Finneran and Rigler on the defensive with terrible kicking, Lelfleld allowed only six safeties, while eight were charged against the Giant twirlers.

The champion Cubs defeated Brooklyn yesterday in a lively contest by the score of 5 to 3. There was good hitting on both sides, each team securing seven hits apiece. Chicago's, however, were made at opportune- times and counted most. Dahlen's men put up a rattling good fight, but could not connect with Richie benders with effect. There was a good-sised crowd in- attendance and the game was entirely free from disputes 'with the umpires.

They take short steps. 6hort even for men of this small stature; Had they any sort of stride they could show wonderful speed. They also seem confused in starting. They start lats and always look at the ball Instead of the fielder. Not one member of the team appeared to have a good throwing; arm.

Their pitchers lack the weight which is necessary for speed. Any big league club would pound the little brown hurlers over a few acres, of. grass-covered territory. And that spirit of fight and constant dash is lacking.

Though big McConneil is pitching -wonderful ball, the rest of the hurlers don't measure up to the men Oanzel had last year. Another series or two with Montreal. Toronto snd Baltimore and Manager John Oanzel is apt to fall off the bench pome day in a faint, as they say that is what is sure to happen if his team should lose seven games in a stretch.

"Toronto had a lot of good hitters who are apt to create up a game any minute. It is funnv how they win so many, how ever, as when the Birds were there they appeared the "deadest" club in the world. Tim Jordan, at first, seldom opens his mouth, and the same goes for shortstop Vaughn, Third Baseman Bradley and ail tne outfielders, second Baseman Mullen lb the only one who appeared to have any pep- at ail. "Montreal has a well balanced arrrc- gation, and is apt to take a series from any of the first division clubs any time. George Stallings has only a' fair club at Buffalo, but he gets more work out of his men than most leaders.

When Baltimore was there he made his Dlavers "work the Oriole pitchers, and that one thing siccounis lor me two games tne Biros dropped, bases on balls starting all the damage. Manager Stallings is also up to all kinds of tricks, and they say of mm arouna tne circuit that ne would do most anything to win. Whether inten tionally or not, the Baltimore players were given dirty drinking water and someone with a powerful glass reflected the sun in Catcher Ben Egan's eyes in the first game.

Larry Sahafly, part owner, manager and shortstop of the 'xroy team, once figured in the champion foolish play of ine garne in a game Detween tne Washington and the White Sox in 1907. In that battle Larry Schafly was cantaln of the Washington and was also on second base.

At the end of an early Inning Mr. Schafly went out to a telephone, or buy a goat, or something, an was delayed so long that the Senators naa tnree men put out before his return. The Sox came trottincr in for their turn at bat; Washington took the field, with only eight men and nobody on second, and the game wenfon that way till Fielder Jones hit one straight across second. Then, and not till then, was It discovered that there was nobody on second base. Incredible as it may seem, nineteen men seventeen nlavera r.d two umpires had started the half inning in this fashion, and not one of them got wise till Jones's hit shot over the empty station.

Schafly reappeared at this juncture, and the umolrea decided that the hit was illegal when made with only eight men in the field. Jones naa to go back: and bat over.

"After traveltag over the Eastern league circuit with the orioies, ana seeing aii the teams in action, it seems safe to repeat the statement made in the Baltimore Star a week or so before the season got under way that Toronto. Rochester and Baltimore were the only clubs with a chance for the pennant, says Rodger H. Plppen, writing for the above-mentioned Baltimore paper. "Unless Injuries befall their players, the Orioles, ilaple Leaves and Hustlers will finish erne, two.

three, though not necesaarlly tn the order named. Montreal looks good for fourth place. Jersey City fifth, BixfTalo sixth. Providence v-enth and Newtvrk last. "Give the Orioles another good pitcher and they will have a great chance for the pennant.

Rochester and Toronto have kept in the lead by playing on their own grounds, while- the Orioles have been meeting with bad luck and other reverses on their giant arwlng of thirty-one days around the circuit. The Hustlers were home for twenty-four straight games, meeting Jersey City, Baltimore, Providence, Newark, Buffalo and Montreal. Toronto was at home for twenty-six facing the- Clams, Newark. Jersey Ctly. Baltimore, Montreal and Rochester.

"The Hustlers have played less than twenty games on the enemy's grounds and the Maple Leavves but seventeen. Baltimore, in the meantime, has battled in the camp of the enemy twenty-six times and has only played fifteen games at Oriole park. Baltimore has played two series with Toronto, Rochester, Montreal and Buffalo, while the Hustlers and Leaves have faced eaeh other In only one series and have played the best part of their games with Providence, Jersey City and Newark. Toronto and Rochester both caught the Skeeters when they had a shattered Infield and won nearly every game, while Jack Duan'i men found the Jerseys a greatly improved club and going like a house- afire when they struck there last Thursday, "Ot the fourteen games the Orioles have loss, on the In only four were they really and truly heaten. That Is to say, in only-that number they didn't hav a chance to win and were hopelessly out classed, seven or tne nrst nine defeats were bv one run.

For a good many years Wallace baa beeni as, indeed, be deserved to be, one of the. beat paid players in the country. He has saved his money and the approach of the time when he must quit the diamond has no terrors for him. It was in Cincinnati in the early Wi that Wallace made his debut as a third baseman. The plays ho mada that day! The stops! the throw the pilfering on tha baae lines! the general all-around knowledge of the proper thing to do at the proper time! Well, anyway and anyhow, Cleve land won the game and won It because a great new third baseman had boen found.

That night the newspa per boys who were traveling; -with the Cleveland team put up a little job on Manager Tebeau. Tfcey Invaded his room at midnight and read to him. as Patsy stood at the floor or ms room in his pajamas, this imaginary tele gram from Cleveland: Oliver Tebeau. Qlbson House Cincinnati: "Release Bobby Wallace at once. Will not have such a player on my ball team.

"FRANK DE HASS ROBISON." "What have you to say In reply to that?" asked a Cincinnati sporting writer, simulating a great interest in the subject. "What have I to say 7" asked TeDeau as he made a dive for his bed. "What I have to say Is that I wouldn't give Bobby Wallace In exchange lor tn whole Cincinnati team. "Nobodv knows better than myself how much I. need Harry Howell said Jack O'Connor.

"There Is a pitcher after, the fans' own heart, always ready to take a chance In a pinch; a pftcher who doesn't always depend oa his arm but gives his brain a chance to earn a part of his salary, in tne long run you will find that the pitch ers with brains the ciarksons, josses. Howells and sixteen or seventeen more, are the kind that endure." The old Clevelands were returning home one day from a long trip through the east and stopped off at Pittsburg to play a postponed game. Toung bad pitched against Baltimore the day before and won his Powell was then a recruit on the Cleveland team and was scarcely known. There was a shout of Joy In Pitts burg when it became known that young wasn't trolng-to pitch against the old Pirates this day. "Don't yell too soon." said Manager Tebeau to the crowd ef fans that gath ered about the Monongahela house.

When they do strike at a ball they strike low. In fielding the orientals rarely use two hands. Grounders are nanaiea with the glove hand.

The Triangle Athletic club is incorporated under the laws of New York state and no other parties or athletic teams have a right to use this name for athletic purposes, and the officers of the club will see that the parties now using this name will be stopped in the near future. The Triangles are one of the oldest and best known athletic clubs in the city, and when they do put any athletic teams on the field they-are always sure of giving a good account of themselves.
