The cabinet has been working night and day since the strike was threatened to arrange a compromise be- tween the railway managers and their employees.

Most of the credit for the ultimate success of their efforts rests upon David Lloyd George, chancellor of the excheauer. who In his statements to Par- llament and in an interview with the managers and the men, worked for concilliation when all others of the Interested persons seemed to have given It up. of discipline, and other members of the team are under surveillance.

Those who do, need It quickly and severely.

UNEXPECTED HELP COMES The Recent Sprint of the Pirates Makes Them a Rival to be Figured on in the Battle. Fans Figure on Help of Phillies, With Magee Back, to Check Pennant Rivals From the West.

New York, Aug. 21. Special Correspondence: The reinstatement of Sherwood Magee, star outfielder of the Phillies has sent New York's hope for pennant soaring to the zenith of imagination. It means unexpected aid from an unexpected quarter for the Giants. Magee will not figure in the present clash between the Quakers and the Polo grounders, but he will be in the battle array that faces the husky Cardinals and all the other bitter competitors of McGraw's men who assail the East for the last time the middle of this week.

And the Giants surely 'need all the aid possible In their last stand against their closest rivals on the home grounds. New York's chances for the pennant, it Is universally conceded, depend upon the work of the Polo Grounders during their present long stay at home. Right now they appear in a most admirable position. They are close to the heels of both the Pir- strain of such a heart-breaking race, but near enough to take a commanding hand in the nature of a sprint to the goal. Such a sprint as the Pir- aes have shown within the past three ies this fall.

The spurt cannot be de-j layed any longer, however and it be-j hooves New York to get on a hustle right away. Must Strike at Home to Win. Tf the pennant is to be won, now is the time to strike. In the matter of schedule there is little to choose among New York, Chicago and Pittsburg. Each has Just about ah equal number of games remaining both at home and abroad.

But in the stand against the Western clubs, New York will use up most of its home dates, and if by the end of that crucial period McGraw's men have not secured a commanding lead things will be indeed dark for their pennant chances. Pittsburg and Chicago both finish the season at home, and if either is on even terms at the end of the final Western invasion of the East, the Giants will suffer a great hand-cap. It might be possible for them to break all traditions of the season and show at their best on the road, but this seems improbable on past I performances. The club has not been a consistent winner away from home so far. The fact that McGee was not permitted to take part In the present series has shown that President Tom PENNANT to President Johnson, who cut openjates and Cubs, far enough from the the ball and found it to be up to the lead to save them the overanxlety and standard, inis wipes out me sus- piclon which has been pointed Connie Mack's team.

Aug. 21. Special Correspondence: We rise on our hind legs to remark: "We told you so." The occasion for this outbreak is to be found in the fact that the Pittsburg Pirates are, after a period of adversity, giving the Chicago Cubs the chase in the National League and did for one day show those cubs their heels. For some reason, the fans in Greater New York have, as a rule, utterly disregarded the Pirates in their doping. They trembled at the name of Philadelphia and St.

Louis, but have dismissed the Pirates from their calculations. Why this should be thus Is hard to understand. When you ask them why they pay no attention to the Pirates, when Wagner is leading the league, Fred Clark is batting away up there, Tommy Leach is the name of old Tommy, Carey the star of the season in the outfield, and the rest of the gang hustling, they calmly remark that the Pirates made their positfon because they had cinch in beating Brooklyn and the other weak teams. That's a fine answer, when the pres ence of the Giants in the first division today is due to the fact that they have taken 12 out of 13 games from Brooklyn. Brooklyn today has a per centage of .382 or more than a third of its games.

If it had played consistently against the Giants it would have taken at least four out of the 1 3 from them, or three more than it has taken, and those three games would have bounced the Giants to a par with St. Louis, which is leading the second division. Early in the season Manager Chance was asking for waivers on Ed. Reulbach. Just at present Ed.

is the leading Cub pitcher. It is said that the Phillies, unless they start a winning streak instanter, will give up pennant aspirations and begin the work of trying out recruits for next season's race. President' Barney Dreyfuss has presented to a Pittsburg school the old steel flagpole from which the pennants of 1901, 1902 and 1903 were displayed at Exposition Park. Carey, the young man in center for Pittsburg, is putting up about the best article on ball seen in the outfield of the National League at present. William Douglas, a pitcher of the Club, who has 24 out of 31 games this season, will join the Chicago American Club in Chicago on September 1st.

Roger Bresnhan's crippled foot incapacitated him for just about the period of his three days' suspension, ordered by President Lycnh, for Bresnahan's runin with Umpire Ea- eon. A hot day was held responsible for Magee's attack on Finneran. Now we have it that it was a low sky that caused Joe Tinker to loaf on a couple of Texas leaguers and draw a day's suspension. St. Louis has purchased Third Base man "Chick" Naupp from Beeville of the Southwest Texas Xeague for $1,500.

He is a brother of the Nna-upp sold by Victoria to Cleveland last season. Elmer Leonard, the giant California college pitcher, has been sent back to Oakland by Connie Mack.

Mrs. R. A. Buckman, 616 E. Fourteenth Winfleld, Kansas, says "My kidneys were weak and I suffered intensely from backache.

When I learned of Doan's Kidney Pills, I used them and they soon relieved me. One of our relatives also claims that he owes his life to Doan's Kidney Pills. He was afflicted with Kidney disease and suffered terribly from backache. Doctors were consulted and various medicines were tried but not until Doan's Kidney Pills were procured was benefit received. This preparation effected a complete cure.

Lynch has revised the dates and- provided for the playing off of all postponed and tie games. Though Larry Lajoie has been doing with the stick since his return to the game; it is declared that running causes him greatest pain. Some of his hits could not be run out and he stopped at second on a couple that ordinarily might have been homers. In return for the use of Browne Keene, the Srst-sacker secured from Springfield, the Pittsburg Club sends to Springfield Outfielder Harrison, who was bought from Vancouver. Keene had but recently returned to the game after breaking his ankle and he is not likely to be of great use to the Pirates until he has recovered entirely from that injury.

Two promising Western Pennsyl vania youngsters have been picked up by the Phillies. One is Pitcher P. J. McTighe, who has been the sensation of the Pittsburg Collegians and the other is Jimmy Gorman of Kane, a firt baseman. McTighe is a powerful fellow and with a little more experience it is predicted he will make good in major league circles.

Both players are more than six feet tall and each of them Is 20 years old. The idea that Moran is a wornout catcher is erroneous. He is onl y32 years old and during his several years with the Chicago Cubs and the Phil-leis he got into so few games he has had no chance to wear himself out.

Magee was out of one series with every National League club, with the exception of New York, prior to his reinstatement. Had he taken part in this visit of the Phillies to Gotham, the Quakers would have had his services in every game played between the two rivals. That would have been unjust and unfair to the metropolis. As it is, there can be no grounds for a charge of favoritism At the same time, that he will help out the Phillies who have still a chance for the flag MaGee will strengthen the opposition to Chicago and Pittsburg. And that is some consolation here.

What if Plank and Coombs do weaken when Connie Mack has the ability to unearth such a relief man as this Danforth from Texas? The Texan, by the way, was tipped off to Connie toy Hyman Pearlstone the Palestine rooter who makes a trip with the Athletics each season. Grover Cleveland Alexander has signed a contract with Philadelphia for three years at $7,500 a year, which Horace Fogel says makes him I the highest priced pitcher in capac- ity. New York has yet to dispute the statement on behalf of Christy Mathewson. business..
