New York, May 28. (U. P.) The first struggle of : rial Importance for first plaoo Quarters-in -either of the major leagues win be on today In New rork, wben the Giants and Phillies tangle in a doaSleheader. Pat Moran has Just led his one-time champions into the lead off station and McGraw only recently dropped a pee. The fact that the Giants hare been aonated the Tener flag by most' de votees of baseball bv virtue of their driving- power, makes the series take on considerable significance. If the Phillies can attach the long end of the series they will be In a strongly fortified . position when they leave New York. But if they drop the majority their chances of maintain mg the glory niche will be shaved oft considerably..' - 6 rover Cleveland Alexander doubt less will hurl one of the contests for the Phillies. The Phillies have not shown as a good club against the Giants when playing in New York in the past. Their forte apparently is to win games in the trick park at Philadelphia. How ever, a battle may be looked for be cause it means a hard long struggle to get back if the Quakers slide even a little bit while here. Hans Likes Black Diamonds. Pittsburg, May 28. (L N. S.)
