BIG LEAGUES ARE LOSIMG TTnle-ys Change Is Shown in Interest of Public Indications Are That Proiits Will Be Lacking All Along; Line. NEW YORK, May 16. (Special.) Two bands of rovers now prowling about in alien territory are demanding the attention of bis? league fans. One frang is entitled the Detroit Tigers and the other bears the name of New York Giants. Both have been wrecking- rep utations of myriad dopesters and the present question is: "Are they going to continue to defy the prophets or will they swing into line with what was predicted for them?" The Giants, figured by nearly every body to be the one grand cinch of the year in the National League, got off to a poor start and concluded the first stage of the pennant race, the initial Bet of battles in their half of the league circuit, just barely above the second division. The Tigers, sentenced by the prophets to a berth in the lower four, left the mark at breakneck speed and wound up the same section of the American League campaign well in the front. Now the two clubs are meeting a different set of opponents, the teams in the far ends of the two organiza tions. The Giants conclude today their first series in Pittsburg, and now will move on against the three weaker sis ters of the West, the Reds, Cardinals and Cubs, in the order named. It will be interesting to see whether the Gi ants can beat those three worse than the Pirates did. It also will be worth while to notice whether the Pirates can fare better against Boston, Phila delphia and Brooklyn than the Giants did. The Tigers have just wound up their initial appearance in New York against the Yankees. Today they move into Boston and next Friday they invade the Athletics' stronghold in Philadelphia. The last mentioned club, called a cinch of the same kind as the Giants, fared about the same as McGraw's men in the battling in their end of the circuit, and now are attempting to recoup their position with the Western clubs as vic tims. They will try to beat the West worse than the Tigers did and the .Tigers are trying to do better against the East than did the Mackmen. By three weeks from today the Fed eral League will have caught up with Its schedule that is, the trouble neces sitated by late building of the plants in Brooklyn and Buffalo which caused the schedule to be arranged back-end-foremost, witli intersectional games starting the season, will have been bal anced by long home stands of the Buf falo and Brooklyn clubs. When June 6 arrives, every club will have ap peared in one series in the park of every rival. Do not be surprised if you hear of a trade soon between the Brooklyn Na tionals and the New York Americans. If it comes off. it will be pitcher for pitcher, left-hander for right hander. Chance's Yankees have only one southpaw, Al Schulz, and he is not good enough, to be a regular, while he has a whole flock of right-handers Caldwell. McHale. Keating, Cole, Fisher, Warhop and Pieh. Robinson's Dodgers have a staff that is quite the reverse, with three good left-handers. Rucker, Aitchison and Allen, but only three good right-handers, Reulbach, Ragan and Pfeffer. Un der present conditions, a team does not need more than two portsiders. but can use as many as four or five right-handed hurlers. Thus a trade of. for instance. War hop for Allen probably would benefit both aggregations. This has been the most disastrous year Tor organized baseball since the National agreement was signed, away back in 1903. The big chiefs of the two major leagues Governor Tener and Ban Johnson, have been receiving sys tematic reports from the front, and the indications are that money will be lost nearly all along the line unless a de cided change is shown in the apathetic public. New York and Chicago are the only towns that have done a really thriving business. To point to a single case, one of the Eastern clubs of the American League received as its vis itors' share of the gate receipts at a recent game less than $100. The Mex ican war news and the fight with the Federal League are blamed for taking the interest of the fans from the actual playing of ball games. George Stalllngs says his Boston Braves have the best infield in the game today, not even barring the Ath letics' J100.000 quartet. His remark must be excused on the grounds of en thusiasm. Latest word is that Jack Coombs will be able to do a little pitching about a month from now. The doctors have given him permission to do light prac ticing now. Connie Mack needs the "Iron Man" badly. nati rirst baseman, allowed the local team to score their third shutout game of the series and defeat the visitors, 1 to 0.

Frank Moran. the Pittsburg pugilist, arrived here today and was met by a number of sports men. He went immediately to Butry, where he 'will train for his fight with Jack Johnson on June 27. - Surprises are what make baseball our National 'pastime, and we've had sev eral in the Coast League this Spring. Pitching statistics up to May 12 add to the list, for they show that two youngsters, not with their respective teams at the start of the year, are lead ing the procession Martinonl. of Port land, and Ehmke, of Los Angeles. Martinonl is the only Portland pitch er above the .500 mark. He has pitched three games for the Beavers since Walt uiA.reaie y a n k e a him over from the Colts, and has won every start. Ehmke is a Glendale. Cal.. kid, and was pickec up by .-D i 1 1 o n t month ago. He hat won rour in a rov without a setback Of the veterans Doc White has b far the best record with six wins an two defeats. Siagle or bacra-mento, leems to be doing a comeback, for he staff. Rowdy Elliott, of Venice, is the top moat batter in the league, with an average of .396. Mitze, Fitzgerald and Tobin are next in line. Tobin and Schaller have the most home, runs to their credit, with five apiece. Y'ou may be jolted by the news, but the Oakland club is proving ' the heaviest hitting bunch In the league, and Portland is now down next to the Los Angeles weak sisters. Sounds strange to hear this in view of the .300 hitters Mack finished the season with in 1913. Doane, Speas. Davis and Rodgers are all far below their last season's notches. , Pitching and batting records up to the present series are as follows: ' Pitch Inc. Including games of May 11. rucner, Club Elmke.

VANCOUVER STANDS HIGH Spokane Second: In Averages, Giving Lie to Boasts That Seattle Ha Crackerjack Team Portland P'hovvin'r Is Poor to Date. Joe Wagner, of Spokane, retains his batting honors in the Northwestern League. in fact he has gained on his competitors, as he has practically held his own this last week, while the near rivals have all dropped. If you care to figure out the extra base hitting, it will be seen that the Spokane second baseman also leads here. He is also second in run-getting to McMullin, of Tacoma, and is tied with Lewis, a teammate, James of Seattle and Heis ter of "Vancouver for the lead in stolen bases. Swain leads in two-base hits, with. Abbott a close second. John Wuffli, of Spokane, is first in triples. McCarl, of Vancouver, is the best sacrifice hit ter. In team records. Vancouver leads in both batting and fielding, and Spokane is second in both departments. This bears out the contention that Seattle hasn't such a whirlwind of a ball team. It has a pitcher Schneider. Without "Smoky Pete's" Invincible work. Seat tle would hardly be in second place, if team figures mean anything. Portland is extremely weak in bat ting, Victoria alone being below.
