Philadelphia Must Only Take Three
Out Of Next Nine Games

by George R. Holmes, United Press
STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept 27.-The tiny
thread by which the enemies TOT the
Phlilies and Red Sox still have a
mathematical chance to beAt them
out undoubtedly will be cut this week.
The leaders have practically had
the two flags clinched for the last
two weeks but within the next seven
days our old friend, the "mathemat-
ical impossible - will come to the
front and settle the hash CT Bsock!yn.
Boston and Detroit, once and for all.
The Phillies have snap. Nine
games remain on the Philadelphia
schedule, OF which Moran's crew has
to win only three to gut the flag away
where the dogs can't get at It,
After the Phil5 have won three,
the Dodgers and Braves can win all
theirs and 1t won't do anybody any
good but the magnates.
Judging by the way the Quaker City
crowd has been going the last week,
winning three games out Of nine
will be pretty soft.
Granting that the Braves and DodG-
Iers do not lose a game from now On
and the Phils win their three, the
q
standing then will be:
Club. Won. Lost. Pct.
Philadelphia ........ So 66 .571
Boston .............. 81 Sc 1863
Brooklyn ............ sc 81 .5SS
This OF course will not be the final
standing as the Phils have games to
play with Brooklyn and Boston.
The Red SQx must win half their
games to absolutely nail the pennart
to the mast BY playing fiftyfifty ball
Boston will win the chase by seven
points. even should the Tigers win all
their remaining games. In that even.
the final score will read:
Club. Won. Lost. Pct
Boston 1O3 81 500
Detroit .......... 1OZ 5Z BOZ
The last week has seen just as hard
driving by Carr1gan and Moran as did
the sweltering weeks when the fight
was the hardest The Phillies played
nine games the past week. of which
they won seven. The Red Sox played
seven, Of which they won six.
