the Braves, in all their wins over the
Phillies had to have more than a single
tally advantage.
OF the Nationals one-run wins six were
over st. Louis. five over Chicago, five
over Cleveland, four over Boston four
over Philadelphia, three over Detroit and
two over New York. OF close whippings
nine were received from New York, eight
from Detroit, five from Boston, three
from Chicago. three from ST. Louis. two
from Cleveland and two from Philadel-
phia.
