CUBS STRIKE PACE OF 190BMACHIf4E - . i Chicago. Team Rises Up and Becomes Factor in Pennant Tussle. By FRANK G. MENKE. NEW YORK, July 9. The Chicago Cubs seem to be considerably among those present during the last week or two, and the Giants, who had figured the 1914 National League bunting won have awakened to find that the old Chicago peril hovers over them again. Hank O'Day, after getting away on a poor start seems to have his gang working with almost the same machine-like regularity that made the 1906 Cubs famous, and barring accidents, the Chicago outfit may yet rise up and horn its way into the world's series. The Giants have a lead that some persons may term commanding, but it is nothing to get overconfident about. It W lead that a week or so of hard Jucttiay chip away, and with the end of the season still eleven weeks off, there is every reason for the Cubs to feel hopeful about the ultimate outcome of the race as it concerns them. The best part of the Cub uprising is the fact that the entire team now willingly concedes to Hank the Job of leader, and instead of pulling about ten different ways the gang is pulling together for Hank. Kill, Managerial Bee. Earlier in the year when the Cuba were going like a lame and spavined mule, Roger Bresnehan, Tommy Leach and Frank Schulte, in whose bonnets there was buzzing the managerial bee, didn't exert themselves overly much, according to reports. It was said they figured that if Hank continued to make a poor showing as manager, he would be deposed soner or later and that the job of handling the Cub reins would be given over to one of the trio. So why work your head off to win games, when by losing them it brings about the possibility of your becoming a manager, the ambition of every major league ball player? But all of a sudden the Cubs began to sit up and everybody in the vicinity took notice of the process. The Cub twirlers began pitching in real form, the infield and outfield began working with machine-like regularity, and the whole gang began hitting like fiends. From a position near the bottom of the heap the Cubs shot up just behind the first place Giants and seemed untired by the race. They continue to play at a .700 clip, and although they since have received a couple of setbacks, they seem to have the power to do a real "come-back" and remain ia the come-back position right to the October tape. Hank isn't making any pennant predictions, but his bunch has become fired with the idea of showing as much "pep" as any team in the big leagues. Hank's pitching staff is a bit weak. He needs one seasoned, reliable pitcher to bolster- it up, and he needs a hard-hitting addition to his outfield. Oiven this pair for which he is searching night and day and the Chicago fans may yet count on the privilege of seeing a world's series combat staged .in their home town. Quite a number of our little baseball experts are contending the pennant to the Giants, but it seems a bit too early for making such an award. Even if the Cubs' uplift doesn't last, the Pirates still look dangerous. And the Reds may recover from their slump of the last three weeks. The Phillies aren't figured in the pennant fight, but they may be able to wallop the Giants often enough during the rest of the season to give some other team a chance to close up the gap that divides the Giants and their nearest rivals. The Boston Braves seem to be coming along at a pretty good gait, too. There isn't one chance in one hundred that they'll grab the pennant, but they Liry do a stunt that will consiberably gum up the pennant situation. The Braves have a habit of turning into the stretch during the final weeks of the campaign and beating everything in sight and who knows but what they will turn upon the Giants pretty shortly and soak them amidship with such forco as considerably to weaken the clutch the Giants have on the first rung of the ladder? Doping Sport With the Pal The Fans have a habit. Which is natural, indeed, i Of getting all excited Over teams op in the lead. But why not shift attention to the bottom of the race, Where the Naps and Yanks are fighting For the honor of last place? HURT YACHT CHANCES. They will have those blamed American yachts worn out before time for the big race in September if they keep n holding trials. FIGHT IN VERSE. :" Willie Richie lost his crown, In a bout in London town. Willie tried, but could not squelch His opponent, Freddie Welsh. BELIEVE IN SAFETY. 'Willie and Freddie seem to have pulled off one of those safe and sane affairs. Safety first! HAS NO RESPECT. John Bull had better quit kicking our cups and titles around. GERMANS HOPEFUL. , After taking a squint at recent resul'the Germans have decided to seiVi-i team to try to lift the Davis cup which is now reposing securely in the United States. HAVE CHANCE NOW. i HJertberg has resigned as trainer of the Sweedish athletes who will compete in the Olympic games. With the name out of the way, the boys may have a chance. An ash can to which a handle can beattached' to convert it into a lawn orller has been invented.

Numbers from 75 to 125 are placed in a hat and when all the players have finished, four numbers are drewn for each player. If the score of the player is the same as any of the numbers drawn for him, he wins the tournament. If no player happens to go the round in the number assigned to him as bogey, the persons nearest to any number wins the tournament. More interest has been taken in golf this year than ever before. The links are crowded every morning and afternoon. The players are getting ready for the tournaments to be held in August to choose the club's representa which tive to the state tournament, is to be held this year at the Marion country club.

The game will be preceded by a curtain ! raiser between the Union Giants and the Federals of this city. Bechtley will pitch for the Elmwood team and he has gained quite a reputation by reason of the fact that he can pitch as well with his left hand as with his right.

MAKE JUDGE TARGET OF FLYING INKWELL

LONDON. Jaly 9. A scene of riolence which threw the judicial ministry out of gear was enacted at Old Bailey when Julia Jameson, Emmeline Hall, Nellie Hall and Helen Arneri who were arrested in a raid upon the secret offices of the militants in Tuthill street on June 9, were arraigned, charged with conspiring to disturb the peace and damage property. One of the Hall women is known as Grace Roe. The court room was crowded with women spectators when the quartet was brought into the prisoners dock. As though by a pre-arranged signal tne four prisoners started to scream and struggle. , "This is a farce," cried one woman. "You. are conniving to murder us," cried another. "Give us votes," came an answering shout from the gallery, while the judge's exhortations for order were lost in the tumult. One of the prisoners picked up a bundle of legal papers which she hurled at the court while another picked up an inkwell and several pens which she threw at the prosecutor. CARD OF THANKS.
