than a fighting chance to win the
American League pennant. the Chi
cago White Sox, crippled through the
loss of seven stars as a result of the
baseball scandal investigation, left to-
day for ST Louis: To- open the final
three game series of the season to-
morrow with the ST. Louis Browns.
The players were determined to
fight to the end and were not back
ward in expressing their belief that
the Browns. who have just lost four
straight to the Cleveland Indians,
would lose three in a row to the Sox.
For Chicago to win the pennant they
must win three in a row while Cleve-
land is dropping three out of four to
Detroit.
If the Sox gain three victories over
St Louis, Cleveland could lose two
and tie Chicago fprl the championship.
