RSDAY, AUGUST

UNIVERSAL HAS WON 10 OF USUI GAMES

Yet Trolley League, Leaders Have Only Two-Game l£argm to Go On.

By hnlph H. Wbllr.

Universal, Trolley league loaders, have lost but one game in the last It played. Any wonder the Coal Miners are out in front?

Yet Dick Lark's band has only a twogame margin over Brazil and Paris, tied for the runner-up berth, each with ten Karnes won and six lost. The Universal ranking is 12 victories in 16 games.

Starting on .lunc 10. Universal shot through the opposition until the second contest with Paris. July 2-. In the meantime, eight games had b^en Chalked up on the right side of the' ledger. The defeat was a 2 to 1 affair. Following. Universal defeated the Eagles and last Sunday handed Brazil the short end of a 7 to 2 count. Hera re the Universal figures since the top notchers first hit their true stride:

I nlirranl, 7 C'Hnton, 6. I nl\er»al, 7» I'tirln. It. 1 nivrronl, 5 I. iaio*, 4. I nlvernal, 4j Moose. 0. I nhrruHl, U Mimie, 3. I nlvcmal, .1 llrazii, 2. I nh cr»nl, 7 I in ton. t. I til erwril, II I'nrin, A, lli\crn«l, I J'nrin, laiMerKiil, H: KhkIch, 4. Lnlvernnl, 7 ilrnzil, 2. So. it would a i ie.tr as If the leaders would have easy sailing in Sun-, day's setto with Clinton, to be plavcd at Clinton. It will be a case of top Hoteliers facing tailenders, and sometimes such a contest proves fatal to the lofty athlete?. But Clinton has annexed but three games out of 16, and Universal appears doomed to win. Louie Giovanini or Skinner. T'niverSal's new twirler, will do the flinging for the Coal Miners. For Clinton, L. Marion will likely heave 'em over. i:*Klei Face Bnttle.

The Eagles will find the going like iCast Locust street over at l'aris on Sunday and, Lord knows, that's some tough going. Yea Jitnev! Roy Beddow's land has captured only five of 16 games and four of those were wen fight off the reel when our eld friend *Lefty" Gilbert was a member of the local outfit.

Can't give the Eagles much for their thances against Jess McConchie's second placers, now can we? The Eagles lire in a* rut and apparently are booked to scrap it out with Clinton for the cellar position.

With Paris, it's a vastly different Inatter. The "Suckers" have their* eyes on the Trolley gonfalon and unless watched mighty close stand a fwell chance to waive it on high over In Illinois next year. In King and Humphries, the Paris club has "two real slabbists, in fact, the team is well fortified in every position, and it surely looks bad for tne local aggregation. Paris, likewise, has a chance to take •econd place Sunday as the Moose are liked to keep Brazil pretty bury indeed, Illinois fans are pulling hard for the Moose to make it seven straight Victories Sunday, thereby yanking Erazil out of the second berth. And ihould the unexpected happen up at rIlnton. the "Suckers" would bo in soo. imd place, Just one game behind Uniersal.

Anyhow, the Kernes Suiidav aie imortant ahd should be hard fought. And don't forget, farts, that the rolley needs the money.

Quick thinking, keen eyesight and nerves of steel have made Tyrus Raymond Cobb the greatest of ali batsmen. Col'b outguesses the enemy pitcher and picks out the good balls. He Is cool

other excellent reason for Cobb's supremacy with the stick Is fast running. i He is so fleet footed that he beats out many infield grounders on which slower runners would be retired at first base. A close study of Cobb's methods in the batting tox is worth the price of admission. _______

In spite of the Reds' s««Men fall from grace, Christopher Mathewson is not neld respopsible by Cincinnati critics. He is receiving much praise for the way he has obtained results with the material in hand. Matty has learned from experience that a ball club must carry more than three firstclass pitchers tc make a successful battle for leading honors. Toney, Schneider and Mitchell are the onlv veteran boxmen on the Red team. Regan, who has done fine work, is a newcomer in the National league, whila Rller and Ring lack quality.
