Giants Lose to Braves
Dodgers Only Game
 Behind the Phillies

New York, September 7.-The Brook lyn Dodgers took a step nearer the remnant today by making clean sweep of the series with Philadel- phia, decreasing the Phillies lead to little over a game. The game at Eb- lets field also placed the Boston cham pions, who won from. New York at the Polo grounds, nearer first place, al- though they are still little less than two gsmes behind the Superbas
 The games between the Braves and Superbas at Brooklyn tomorrow and Thursday may reduce the race to a two-team affair. If Brooklyn can maintain its present rate of speed and take tho series from the Braves, the bostonians virtually will be eliminated.
 The contenders for the flag in the American league suffered defeats to- day. Boston dropped another game to New York, while Detroit was losing to Chicago. Bostons loss of three straight games to New York. the weak est hitting team in the league, caused considerable surprise.
