AMERICAN BIG LEAGUE

GAMES.

["D.P." Special Service.]

NEW YORK, July S. Chicago's Cubs and Fittsburg's Pirates both won to-day and al though the Pirates kept their lead, it was by a percentage of .830, 45 compared with .338 for their rivals in National League supremacy.

At the same time the Philadel phia Athletics were taking a brace and improving their American League leadership by administering a hearty 9-9. walloping to the Waite Sox

Norman McMillan, Cub inficider, made three hits which resulted in 'three runs in five times at 'bat against the Braves. His team-mate Charley Grim was meanwhile scor- ing three times by virtue of two singles and one from a walk. Vic- tory perched on the Cub banner by a score of 11-8, with Boston's three errors proving expensive for the hoine town team.

A record number of subscriptica griffins have been ordered this year, and this can be traced to the grow- ing interest which the Chinese take in racing. Since the success of Mr. Ho Kom Tong in the Derby last year, other Chinese owners will no doubt strive to win the Blue Riband of the Hong Kong turl, and, frum what I can gather, no money or effort is being spared in Chinese. circles to obtain the best "cattle from the North. Griffias, of course, are difficult to size up, and the Derby will never be a certainty in Hong Kong, but the Champions can be more or less guaged some days before the actual meeting. The fact that Hong Kong is a market for the best Shanghai product is an en- couraging sign, and Mr. Dunbar's Sitting Bull, good though it is, will have to look to its laurels next year.

Two records were broken last year and two more this year, and this is certainly an indication that

the class of ponies racing in Hong Kong is improving year by year. With the growing interest evinced in racing at present, it seems that further records are due to be broken at the next annual meet. writer has seen the performances of the two animals who hold the record for the Derby distance, these being Local Option and Invincible King The latter won by many lengths in his day, but Local Option subsequently won by a short head, and it is doubtful if he would have broken the record if he had not been so hard pressed. I remember bow Mr. Maitland worked on the saddle for the last half-mile of the race, and it was his skill no less than the game qualities of Local Option which accounted for the re cord.
