MAJOR LEADERS FIND GOING RATHER TOUGH

Cards and Cubs Challenge Giants and Boston Pushes White Sox In American.

Leaders in the major league* pennant races found the going hard last week, with New *Tork challenged for the National league championship by St. Louis and Chicago and Boston fighting hard for first place in the American. Except for Cleveland and Philadelphia in the American, the big league teams were about evenly matched. Six in the National and four' in the American broke even on games won and lost. Inclement weather caused the postponement of thirteen games in the two leagues.

New York's lead in the National was cut down during the week, as McGraw's men could' only break even on the four games played. The series with Boston ended with a victory and the series with Philadelphia began with the defeat of Alexander. On "Friday and Saturday,/ however, New York lost, being able to score only one run in each game. The temporary absence of Herzog and Zimmerman, both hardy batsmen, probaby affected the playing of the leaders. St. Louis had a- hard series with Pittsburgh and broke even in the four games, two of which-went ten innings. The Cardinals appear .to bfe playing better ball than any of the other western teams, but their real strength will be known after the eastern invasion next month.

Brooklyn and Boston renewed hostiities for 1917 on Wednesday and battled for twelve inning to a 6-6 tie game, the first of the year. In the contest Saturday the Braves won through the effective pitching of Tyler. Cincinnati was the only National league team to win more games than it Tost. The Reds took three out of five with Chicago and broke even in two games against Pittsburgh.

Macks Have Good Week.

Philadelphia was the best winning team in the American league, and Connie Mack's men showed their heels to the other teams by winning three out of four' games. One victory was gained over Washington and two over New York. Bush pitched the'Mackmen to victory Monday and Saturday. Chicago failed to keep up its previous good pace and lost three games in a row to Cleveland. Rowland's men are not hitting hard and the three games they won were each gained by one run. One game, was won on only two hits.

The leading eastern teams, Boston and New York, each broke even on four games. The Yankees took two from Boson early in the week, one being a no-hit game by Mogridge. But the Red Sox came back by beating Washington, while New York was .falling before Philadelphia. Cleveland improved and gives promise of repeating its performance of 1916, as the pitchers are working well.

Winning thirteen out of the seventeen games played has kept the Indianapolis club out in front in the American association race. Louisville, the 1916 pennant winners, went into second place yesterday as a result of a 7 to 2 victory over Minneapolis, pushing Kansas City into third poslton. Milwaukee, with six victories and five defeats, is in fourth place, and Columbus fifth. Toledo is1 at the bottom of the league, having won only three of its fifteen games.

"Red'* Martin has retired. Realising that the best' one gets in the worst of It when it coin en to officiating, the "Sunbeam" today announced his permanent retirement from that angle of the. billiard game. '-I'll still try and peck off the boys at either 3-rail or balk line," declared "Red," "but I'm done so far as officiating is concerned. No decision made in the Kerner-Finer-iui match had an.v direct bearing on the final outcome and 1 have to laugh at the.loser's alibi. He knows what beat him." We agree «ith you, "Sunbeam" nil the way!

"Not wishing- to start anything," de^ares "Red" Brown, "but I can beat Kerner at any stage of the game and

If he goes through with that retirement stunt I will claim the championship. And furthermore, I will defend it at all times." That's the proper spirit, Brownie,: old top!
