NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Chicago ciinched the American league pennant Friday but tke New York Nationals still have one more game to win be- fore the 1917 National league flag is theirs beyond dispute.
 It was fitting that Clarence Row. land should win his first major league championship from the club which has been Chicago's strongest opponent, the Red o0x. It was on their home grounds that the 1916 champions fell before the WfAA Sox. The game was hard fought and it took the new cham pions ten innings to overcome Boston by to 1 score. From now on the Chicago players can get into condition fer the great series against New York, the first time that teams representing the two largest cities in the country have met in the baseball classic.
 Cleveland set the pace in the Ameri- can league last week by winning all of it's seven games. Deti oft triumphed in five cut of six. Washington early in the week took fifth place from New York and finished the week in that position, the Yankees losing six cut of seven.
 In the National league New York. began US Ilnal lhtef-SectlOnal games against Chicago Monday and in three games was victorious twice.
 Philade phia's play improved and it won four last week while losing one Two victories over Chicago today enabled Philadelphia to stave off Q little longer the inevitable victory of New York. St. Louis did not lose ~alnc the past week. Cincinnati came back to the first division last Sunday and held that place by virtue of four victories and one defeat while Chicago was winning on,y one out of seven.
