A, Interest Now Centered In St, Paul and K, C, Jack Hendricks' traveling Tribesmen were In Minneapolis today to open a four-game series with the seventhplace Millers and the Hoosiers were hopeful of emerging from the sudden slump that overtook them about a week ago.

M’GRAW WORRIED AS GIANTS AGAIN FAIL J SLUMP John Switches Batting Order and Line-Up as Reds and Pirates Threaten. By HENRY FARRELL United Press Sfcorts Editor NEW YORK. Aug. 22.—With their lead filtered away to three and a half games, the New York Giants are once again in that position which might be called critical. Tuesday, they dropped the final game of the series to Pittsburgh and it gave the Pirates a grand total of two out of three. The Cincinnati Reds won at Philadelphia and came back again with jabbing distance of the leaders. ( v Big Tjead Has Faded .All the noble work the world's champions did on their last victorious, sweep throug-1 the West, has gone for nothing The lead they ai-jutrcrt 1 knocking the Pirates groggy amL. putting the Reds on 4he floor has faded through one of the worse slumps the team has had this season. With his pitchers in the hole again. McGraw can have no happy thoughts over the coming series with the mauling St. Louis Cardinals, unless he can work his offense around to some kind of an effective attack on the enemy. O’Connell Back in Game McGraw switched his batting order and line-up in the flna* game with the Pirates. He shoved Jimmy O'Connell, the $75,000 beauty who has been doing bench duty, back into the game and allowed Casey Stengel to sit in the shade. He moved Dave Bancroft up to the lead-off position, put Frisch second in the batting order and placed Pep Young at third, but it. worked no better than his other combinations.
