LEAGUE LEADERS THREATENED
Brooklyn and New York Yanks Sec

New York. Sept. 16.-The POSSIBLE
ity of taking a terrific beating while
their hands are tied tightly behind
their backs haunted the two leaders
Of the major leagues today.
Both Brooklyn and the New York
Yanks have fewer games to play than
their nearest rivals That means that
unless they finish their schedules
with the pennant seWed up. they may
be subject to the humiliation of seeing
their rivals squirt belatedly to the
tape to grab off a victory.
Despite that danger, Brooklyn
looked safer than heretofore. The
Dodgers squeaked thru the last game
yesterday with the Cubs. winning
to 0.
An even break for the Dodgers in
the remaining IL games would com
pei Cincinnati to take rs of 19 games
to win. The Giants would have to
grab Is to II.
The American League race contin-
ued hot The Yanks. having won
three more games than Cleveland, the
nearest rival, were in a good tactical
position. The Yanks have Is more
games in which to cinch the pennant
Cleveland has II more in which to
cut down the Yankee hopes The
White Sox have but Il more games to
play.
