PHILLIES AFTER PFIESTER
Cincinnati, Ohio, July 27. —It was
stated here this afternoon that Man
ager Moran might sign Jack Pfiester,
the old-time twirler, and take him
along when the Phillies leave Cin
cinnati. He said that if he does take
Pfiester it will be for the purpose of
coaching the young twirlers, but
some of the wise ones here claim the
old fellow will be allowed to take
his regular place In the box if his
work will warfant. Pfiester has been
pitching this season for the Branch
Hills, a strong semiprofessional team,
and his work has been remarkable in
that he has pitched nineteen succes
sive victories.

KEEPING FIDS BUSY
Phillies Lead With Record of
Straight Wini—Tail Enders
Have Fighting Chance
Special to The Tfagraph
New York. July 27. Both the major
league races continue to develop new
points of interest but the struggle In
the N itional League is claiming the
maximum of attention on the part of
baseball fans.
beldom haß the tight for the pennant
been so close at this stage of the game
In any organization a« in the Tener
circuit this year. The Boston Braves,
only two rounds above the bottom of
the ladder, for example, are but eighty
three points behind the Philadelphians
in first place.
In the intermediate positions Brook
lyn, Chicago. Pittsburgh and New York
are on fairly even terms.
The prospects of the Cubs seem at
this juncture to be about the poorest
of any of the lot mentioned, for they
have been on the down grade for some
time and appear unable to stike a
winning gait. Six straight losses
dropped them to third position.
The Phillies played their unusual
steady game maintained their ad
vantage. The Brooklyns also gave no
signs of wavering and pulled up into
second place by capturing five out of
seven games. The Bostons' record for
the week—only one same lost out ot
six—shows that the trend with them is
an upward one and that they are yet
to be reckoned with In the awarding;
lof the season's honors.
Pittsburgh and New York are run
ning neck and neck, with the Pirates
by no means having the poorer pros
pects of the two.
