There are even those who are still
hoping against hope for a pennant. But
that 10 hardly In the dope. Granting
that the Giants finish the year without
losing another game. Brooklyn can
beat them out by winning two OF her
remaining six contests, and Philadelphia
can turn the trick by taking four games

would be tied for the pennant at ex-

Dodgers broke even and the Braves
then took five out OF six from Moran's
men. the Giants would win the pennant.
Obviously the chance Ia one in a mil

the Giants are travelling, It looks i'm
possible for Brooklyn to win the PEN
