BIG LEAGUERS ARE
LOAFING THESE DAYS

The game in Philadelphia can have
a bearing on the pennant race, how
ever. and will be watched closely.
Yesterday the Maok's took the Sox
down by the minimum score OF 10
o thereby helping jam standings OF the
Sox and the New York Yankees so
close together that there IS difficulty
in inserting a decimal point in the
averages. The Nanks were among the
idle teams today but another defeat
for the Sox would put the fanks into
second place.
The possible effect Of the Chapman
tragedy on the Cleveland Indians un-
doubleday was reflected in the Cleve-

Indians lost 4 10 3. The loss OF a
