Reds Are Eliminated;
Robins Need Two Wins

The Cincinnati Reds. winners
Of the world base ball cham
pionship last October, passed
out of the pennant picture yes
terday AZ a result of two defeats
at the hands OF the Pirates.
With Cincinnati eliminated
only the Giants remain to dis
pute the right of Brooklyn to
represent the National League
in the world series. The Giants
have eight more games to play
five with the Robins, two with
the Braves and one with the
Phillies. Brooklyn has five with
New York and one with Boston.
Two victories by Brooklyn in
the remaining six games will
put the Robins beyond the reach
of the Giants. Allowing Brook
lyn two victories in the six
games, while the Giants win all
except one game Of the Brook
lynn series, the standing would
bes
Won. Lost. PC.
Brooklyn ....... 81 63 .581
New York ...... 90 a. .5S4
If Brooklyn wins but one Of
the I'VE games with New York
and loses the remaining I'VE
games ON it's schedule the best
New York can do, with Victories
in all contests except one of
the Brooklyn series, would be
to tie the Robins. The standing
then would be:
Won. Lost. PC.
Brooklyn ...... 90 a. .5S4
New York ..... 30 "a .5S4
In other words, Brooklyn has
only to win two of its i've
games with the Giants or take
one from the Giants and one
from the Braves to cinch the
pennant.
