RED SOX creep UP
ON THE Athletics
With 10 Games TO Play
Boston Still Has Chance
for Pennant
BRAVES LEAD THEIR
SET BY 7 IL GAMES

While attention of the baseball world
is riveted on the struggle of the New
York Giants and the Boston Braves
for the championship of the National
League, the Boston Red Sox have cut
down the Athletics lead OF nearly -
games of less than month ago, and
arc now within six and one-half games
OF the American League leaders.
The question now arises, can the
Red Sox. with but ten more games 70
play. carve the lead of the Mackmen
down to point where they can
squeeze into the coveted berth. It
seems almost impossible and yet
stranger things have happened in base
ball. The present standing of the
Braves in the National League, with
the pennant conceded to be theirs,
would have been declared impossible
earlier in the season.
ii the Red Sox had another series to
play with the Athletics there would
probably be more hope for them. But
they havcnt-much TO the regret OF
Boston fans The Sox have beaten the
Mackies in six out OF the last seven
games and all season seemed TO have
had It in on the Athletics. Connie
Mack recently admitted that Boston
is PLAYING the best ball of any team IN
the American League. The Athletics,
master of any other club, have gone
against the Red Sox repeatedly and
have been beaten.
Here is the schedule showing the
final games to be played by both Of the
contcndiug teams in the American
League
