ened here yesterday, the Vesper sen
ior double, of Philadelphia, made up

pair also won from the Vespers at
Springfield, Mass.. last year.
EYERS FAVORS CUBS
Special to the Telegraph
Boston, Aug. 12.—"It's New York. I
not Brooklyn, we must beat out if |
we are to win the flag." So savs Cap
tain Johnny Evers. of the Braves.
"The old Cubs never figured thev'
had the pennant won unless they had
a lead of six games Labor Day. Here's j
Brooklyn leading by only four games,'
with Labor Day almost a month off, j
so why should that team be con
sidered a sure thing?
"Like Stalling*. I have picked New
Tork all season as the club that will
be troublesome in the final drive."
