GIANTS MUST WIN
TO C|NCH PENNANT
Have a Hard Wind Up and
VIII Have No Rest Before
Worlds Series
By H. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Sept. 22.-The White Sox
today possess an u%ndisputed advantage
over the Giants as the time for the
world series approaches.
The pennanJ is cinched, they finish
their season October l, three days be-
fore the Giants get through, and have
had enough rest already this month to
put them in the best shape for the
gruelling games that will wind up base
ball for the year.
The new champions of the American
league finish their season in New York
a farewell smack at the Yankees.
They will board a train Immediately
after the game at the Polo Grounds
and beat it to Chicago, there to take
it easy until the Giants get in sight
They have had several one day layoffs
this month and one tEat extended the
better part of a week. They have only
eight games left on their schedule.
The Giants still must win two games
before they can claim the pennant as
their own. They play a doubleheader TO
day with the Pirates and if they take
both ends they will be in a day behind
the Sox.
The Giants are facing a hard windup.
Following this doubleheader with the
Pirates, they must beat it back west
and then return to finish up with the
Phillies, where they are scheduled for
a pair of doubleheaders.
. Efforts are being made to switch the
final game a day forward, enabling
the Giants to get an extra day of rest
before going to Chicago, but it is hard
" probable President Baker Of the
Phiilies will consent to lop a game OFF
his schedule just to favor the Giants
who beat his club out of a participation
IN the fall classic.
