GIANTS ARE STILL WELL UP TO FORM Though Dropped Down to Third Place in Clu|> Stand ing Every Week-end Save One !? ind* Them on Top. By .JOHN H. KOSTKIl CWIM IM?. Th. New \ork. May 28.?The National League race has shown little flue tuatlon when you consider what the teams have shown at ihc week-end. Anil you must consider the week-end That Is the real test, because cham pionship races usually terminate at the week-end and it is where you stand when the old pay night rolls ,,xts >'0,lr niche In th. Hall of 1-ante if you happen to have Itoj into the liubit of playing base lake the Giants for Instance, be cause they happen to be the prin cipal instances in the league. Not withstanding their sloughing around in the West; they have managed to be hrst every Saturday night at roll call, with on? exception, since the season started. The West can't bra* much when they cannot take this team out of first place and keep them out over a week-end They had the Giants down in the middle of last we&k, but no sooner had they got them down than the Giants bobbed up again. It's the inability to throw Xew York back where there Is a difference of Ave or six Karnes between them and the top that keeps all the remainder of the National League on the de fensive. Five National clubs have held the same progress for four successive week-ends. That does not indicate much progress or variety. On Wed nesday there is a great hurrah be cause some team lias moved up a notch. Hut by Saturduy it is In the ?ame old rut again. That has hap fhoC|? i II 11,0 Xatlonal League for co or 'our seasons. ?nT ? Chicago. Cincinnati fh^i, ?? >n, ,1UV0 C|,,,|K sturdily to their places In the first division Boston Pittsburgh.

Very soon St. Louis will move east and then there will be an opportunity to see whether the Cardinals are the same old morning songsters or are a little better than iji the past. St. Louis has never been noted for having a cheerful time In the East. The American League has not shaken the Yankees out of first place for four weeks, although, it has managed to drag them down to a tie with Boston. One may imagine, though, that if they ever do get the Jankees away from the top. the Yanks will have a tougher time get tS! Mh.1 Un ,he OI,,n,s l",VR ?<"'?

Foster, the man who helped make the rules under which the same Is played today. If you want a personal reply enclose a stamped, self-addressed en velope. Otherwise your ques tion will be answered In tt'j column. Address: John B. Foster, special baseball correspondent of The Dally Advance, 811 World Building, New York. . - Question?IMcnHe tell me how to tell which pitcher in the losing pitcher and which is the winning pitcher, when more than one pitcher, pitches in a game. Answer?if the first pitcher goes out with the game ugainst him he: loses unless the game Is won and then. the second pitcher receives credit for the victory and the first a olank. If (he first pitcher Is! behind and the game won with the1 second pitcher he gets the victory. If the game is won by the first pitcher and apparently the second loses the second Is charged with the, loss. Question?Baseball park has flag , pole on foul line by left field fence. I Butters hits ball over fence and it I Is fair when leaving park but um-| plre can see ball curving foul. Is' this a home run or a foul ball? Does , umpire call ball when it leaves park' or where he sees It last? Answer?The umpire Is to call | the hit fair or foul wheje the ball; disappears from his sight. It Is not a good rule but It sticks in the code. J The ball should be Judged solely on 118 merits on fair ground, and hits should go accordingly. To bat a hit! fair over a barrier and have it called foul after it passes the barrier Is equivalent to making the game fal sify about Itself. GAME3M?AKF *V lAWnENCE PEOflY (CoyHiht 1924, By Th? Advance) N?-w York, May 28.?Watching Dill Tildon in his recent appearances in this vicinity as the chief drawing card in club exhibitions for funds of various sorts, one received a clear Idea us to what publicity does for an athlete. .Men and women who had never before attended a tennis match, who knew little or nothing about the game, turned out lo see tills great lawn tennis star about whom so much turmoil bus been raised. There was, of course, the general impres sion that Bill for some unjust, un-1 warranted reason, was under attack: and such a feeling always invests a man with an added attractiveness. And Hill who is not so good an actor as ho is a lawn tennis player? albeit a good actor at that?rose to the situation commandingly. At .Montclair and at Maplewood, for ex-| ample, he displayed all his stuff and | in fact, rose at times to amazing heights, while all the characteristics of manner that distinguish him in regular tournaments were by no means missing. In the end, In auctioning off the racquet with which he had played,1 Tildon had opportunity to display histrionic ablli self of it fully. In brief, what Is happening to Tilden is perfectly clear. He is put-! ting lawn tennis on the broad pub lic map and he himself Is rapidly Retting to occupy a place In the pub lic mind such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb,' Walter Hagen and Dempsey occupy. FIRPO TIRED RING SPALLA'SOPINION Says Ki-ally Had Luis Down for 0>unt and Is Iteuily for Bfsl Heavyweight in Ameri ca Very Soon Now. By FAIR PLAY C??yrt?ht. l?24. fey Th? Adv*nr? New York. May 28.?Eruiino Spal la diiln't tarry lung la New York af ter his arrival from Brazil on the American Legion. He went straight out to the farm near Summit N. J., where Vicentlni. Hojas and other dark-skinned boxers are training. Spalla says he is ready for the best of the American heavies as soon as he gets his sea legs. He said he hit Klrpo so hard in their bout that they had to give him a long, long count and that thereafter Luis avoided all efforts of a return meeting. Spalla. who talks English very well, thinks Firpo is really sirk of the prize ring. Of course Lew may be setting him self up as a man of straw to be knocked down. The way he evaded a second meeting with Nate Gold man did not argue that he is as stuck on his ability these days. But Mickey Walker is not taking any chances. Is working as hard out in Bye's Summit farm as though he were preparing for Benny Leonard. Bobby Barrett is the latest light weight to announce he is getting heavy and will hereafter fight in the welter class. This is a sure sign that the welter division is beginning to develop some prestige.

The only other thing Barnes would. : need to prove was that the commit tee failed to notify him as to the I closing date for entries.
