GIANT FANS CEASE TO PITY REST OF WORLD Xew York, June 7. The recent cry of wolf in the baseball world, the same being a howl to the effect that the Giants would trample civilization in the baseball world under foot and make a dash for the pennant that would stand for no opposition, was an eastern howl. It did not come from the west and the west's confidence in the rest of the National league was well placed as can be seen by studying the effect of ' the western Invasion on the monstrous average piled up by the Giants in the early part of the season. If the east had been half as well equipped to withstand the murderous spurt of the Giants as early prognos ticators hoped they would be, the cry never would have been raised. The trouble was that the west had been underestimated. Folks east of the AUeghenies refused to believe that the vest had finally been raised to such strength that the famous and trouble Bome Giants would be forced to swal low pill after pill made of bitter, bitter It was a fact last fall that the Cin cinnati Reds were ready to challenge the Giants for Jhe leadership In the National league, and it became a fact last winter that the Cubs were ready to bid for old-time favor. The Car dinals had some hard luck early in the season or they, too, would have teen taking a few falls out of the Giants. Every one realized these things but the Giants and the Giant tans, who felt it their duty to shed tears of pity for the rest of the league. Time -was when some of the Na tional league was wondering why the Giants were not forced to sell or trade 8ome of their players in order to help out the been hard hit by the draft and enlist ments. But the Giants' time to suffer came. The Giants have lost Jess Jarnes, and are quite likely to lose Benny Kauff at any time. Rube Ben ton has been lost. Partv Gam nn THav.

The alertness of the ene my batsmen is due to the fear that the White Sox veteran may spring some new twister as baffling as was the emery teaser in Its day.

While only six horses are carded for. the running of the classic Suburban handicap at one mile and a quarter, over the Belmont park race track today, the contest promises to be as intereSfxg as any previous struggle for the honors in this event which was first run for in 1884 on the old Sheepshead bay race course. Chief interest centers in the meet ing of Commander J. K. L. Ross' Cud gel and James Butler's Spur. Two weeks ago Spur, carrying 122 pounds, beat the Canadian-owned colt which had 133 pounds up, at the Jamaica track. Spur today will carry one pound more and Cudgel's impost will be 133 pounds. Their last meeting was at one and one-eighth miles and as the extra eighth is considered to be better for Cudgel, he is the favor ite, as he clevely won the Kentucky handicap at this .distance at Louisville last Saturday. The other four, Hollister, Johren, Hendric and Battle, are favored In the order named as betting choices. FIRST HITLESS GAME OF YEAR. "Dutch" Leonard, the Boston left hander, defeated Detroit, 5 to 0, shut ting them out without a hit. Only one Tiger reached first base, the result of the only base on balls Leonard issued. George Burns is putting up the same sparkling pastime he has furnished the Giants for several seasons past. George is there to the minute in every department of the game.
