“‘ith the current “'estcrn invasion
of the Polo Grounds drawing into its
final phase. the position of the Giants
remains uneasy. Inded, it is begin—
ning to look as though nothing short
of an old fashioned. fighting. McGraw
spurt will enable the champion to re—
tain their place in the van.
\Vith the veteran Alexander in the
box the Cubs knocked the home entry
of! by a. score of 9 to 5 in a ten-inning
game Sunday. The Reds, idle in
lloston. picked up half a game on the
Clan McGraw.
To measure the Giants‘ advantage
so. however. is misleading. The cham-
pions have a. lead of only two games
over Cincinnati in the last colmn, just
three over Pittsburgh. Since contend—
ing teams are apt to win a heavy ma-
Jority of their postponed games. the
only genuine difference between them
is that represented in games lost.
By way of illustrationz—Jl‘he Rods
have three postponed contests in Cin-
cinnati with the I‘hiillcs. “'ho would
dare bet that Philadelphia wins I‘.\‘(‘ll
one of thcm'.‘ Arthur Fletcher's tcam
has yet to take a game. from the Mur—
an delegation.
To date tin: current home stand has
netted the Giants only an even break
in ten games. This pace must be
greatly improved if the champions
are to prcscrve their lead past the
first of August. The (tubs and Car-
dinals figure to he cusicr game than
the Pirates and the licvls. but tin-y
will not be if the champions put up
an indifferent tight as they did yvs-
tcrday against the Cults.
Alexander was hit hard cnougli to
lose Sunday. but sloppy ilvltllllg of thc
Giants behind inferior pitching f‘ll’tlrl-
ed the veteran to carry the gzintv into
the. tenth inning. when it‘rih: rg‘s
home run with the buses full roturnvd
him it victor. Three of Chicago’s
thirteen hits were. hunched “1th :1
innings.
A break in the Cub tlt~frncc contri—
buted one run to the (limits in the
'npening session, but all of the Clhi‘l‘fi
New York scored were earned by
hard hits. Young Travis Jackson
contributed a run to the enonzy l'l the
fourth. while Irish Mcusel's muff of
t‘allnghan's easy hoist llt‘rllilllt‘d l4‘rl-
lvcrg to cross the plate in the -~..:hth.
.8 The Giant left field-r followed his
misplay with a careless return which
savored sharply of indifference. .lnhn
McGraw is not the man to permit a
thing like that to go unnoticed. Meu-
sel also was guilty of a similar act in
the final game against pittslmrgh.
A's matters shape up for the world
champions. John McGraw 9901113 to h»
his own best hope. \\'ith inccssant
strife against the strong “'t-sicrn
teams scheduled to run through the.
next six wccks and with a pitching
staff that is none too ccrtnln zit lwrt.
‘ it seems that nothing is lift for the.
Little Napoleon but to get his own
shoulder hard against tho “'llCt‘l and
pass in that l‘t‘ntll inning that nova"
should have been noccsuary. All of'
the fourteen Giant hits. save nun.

pitch ever ball. so to speak. for his
wavering pitchers.
Knowing that the Giants still have
this ace in the hole, New York fans
are confident of the ultimate suc-
cess of the. world chantipions. The
winning march McGraw led through
the “‘cst last year. just when the
Giants seemed ready to blow. is still
rcuu-mhered along Broadway. That
memory and the fact that. outside of
the pitchcrs‘ box. the champions
stack up as one of the truly great
teams of all time. leads to a confl~
dence that otherwise could not be
felt.
Perhaps it is just as well. form
a financial standpoint. that the Giams
are shy on pitching c‘ass. Given
thrco wining hurlers-the groatest nu—

DANBL‘RY. July 17.—The Citi-
zens' Cooperative League has been
formally organized and started on its
crusade. The plan is for co-opcration
with various “committees of 100" in
other places in the state to suppress
gambling and especially liquor viola.-
tlons. it will have a vigilance com-
mittee of 15 to see that the laws are
enforced and to ferret out violation.
Representative George VI. Andrew's,
reCenily appointed an inspector on the
state labor board. is head of the move~
merit. He is the president of the Ty-
pographical union. He has been ably
assisted by Harold S. Sylvester. a
supervisor with the State Board of
education. interested in the move-
ment are some of Danbury's most
prominent citizens. who while not con-
demning the authorities for lack of
action in -prosecuting gambling and
liquor violations. 'beiieve that better
work in this direction can be done if
a committee of the city's representa-
tive citizens co~operate with authori-
tics. "Our aim is cooperative. not
crl'irai." according to a statement of
Mr. Sylvester.

to be an Indian.
Marion. now sixteen. is to realize
her ambition when she is adopted in-

ican Indians in Chicago.
Marion is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. \Villiam T. Gridley. Inspiret by
her intense interest in Indian life. she
has written many poems singing the
life and the romance of the race.
One reads:
“Gently. gently
