In the league, gaining more than four
games on the leaders. n they should

champs the windup between the East
erners will be the best thing we've
had aimee 1908. when an extra game
was required TO decide IL.
Whether the Braves get any closer
to pcnnant or not, this has been a
big week for Dick Rudolph. The Bos-
ton star, native OF the Bronx, has been
given 80 many presents that he had
TO get an extra suit case In which to
carry them. Then, to add to their
appreciation Of the honors he has
brought 10 the fatherland. they gave
him the suit case.
In starting on their long Western
trip the Giants at least have one ad-
vantage over the Braves. They get
whack at Pittsburgh first. But

much difference to that Boston gang
whom they tackle.
