Phillies Meet Dodgers This
Afternoon in Supreme Test.
Outcome of Series Likely to
Decide Pennant Chase.

New York, Sept 2S.-The supreme
test of season will be applied to the
Brooklyn Dodgers this afternoon. With
every man in condition to play the
game of his life, the Phillies will meet
the Dodgers in the first of a three
game series which probably will de-
eide the National league champion
ship. The standing today found
Brooklyn leading the league by a game

added half game to their weak hold
by winning on the day dedicated to
the laying of ghosts by Charles Eb-

leading the National league parade
for five months, SurmOunting obsta cles
at the crucial moments and then
dropping back into weird play which
snatched their foundation from under
them, find themselves confronted by
the gruelling games of the season. If
they can take a ma jority of the three
