With the American League race mar
rowed down to the Tigers and the

ones, the only chance for the Browns
is to upset both of these teams on the
road during the next week. St. Louis
meets each contender in four games
and is five games behind Detroit with
only twenty-three games to be played.
Boston's poor showing of the past
two weeks has put them in bad shape
for finish on the road, while the i'm

them as a first-division possibility.
