With only seven more days to. go
before the campaign ends. Indians
and White Sox are struggling furi-
|ously for the American League PEN
nant, while in the older major circuit
the Dodgers are just about home.
Both of the contenders in Ban John
(son's organization won yesterday,
leaving the Tribe with a half-game
advantage over the Gleasonites. The
dodgers returned to their five-game
lead by throwing the gaff into the
lGiants.
The Indians have seven more games
to play. three with the Browns and
four with the Tigers. The White Sox
have only four contests. one with the
Tigers and three with the Browns. To
capture the pennant. Speakers clan
must win one more game than the
White Sox do. The Yankees have a
mathematical chance at the flag. They
they win all of them they would fin
Iish in front if the Indians lose six
igames and the White Sox four.
All the Dodgers have to do to clinch
the National League honors is to win
one more game. They have three
Giants this week at the Polo Grounds
in New York and home engagement
with the Braves next Sunday. One
defeat will put the Giants out Of the
race, and the best they can do by win
ming all their six games while the
Dodgers are losing their four would
be to tie.
The Indians were extended by the
Browns, using three pitchers to win,
to S. Sewell clubbed the leaders to
victory. The recruit shortstop drove
in four runs with a single and a
double, the last safety in the third
inning putting over the two runs
necessary to tie the fve-run score
made by the Browns in the opening
session.
The White Sox found the Tigers
pitchers easy and won 8 to 1. Jen-

mound, but their wildness. coupled
with opportune hitting, gave the

BOSTON, September 27.-The Yanks
rtook the final battle from the Griff-
men yesterday in New York. to 5.
They failed to hit as frequently as the
visitors, but their blows carried for
greater distance and were punched
to better advantage. Twenty-Five
thousand were on hand to see the
Yankees final appearance of the year
-at the Polo Grounds. They rooted
hard for Ruth to record his fifty-sec-
s-ond homer, but Babes best was a

system in the following frame. In
this inning Lewis led off with sin

right that carried over Johnson's

Grifs Rally in Ninth.
In the eighth Harris safety and

How can pitchers best work on
Ruth? That is rather difficult ques-
tion to answer. No pitcher has yet
worked out a system that will con-
sistently stop Ruth from hitting them
on the nose. A number of pitchers
have met with success in certain
games using a certain style of deliv-
cry. In some cases they felt they
had discovered Ruth's weakness. A
repetition of that style of pitching the
next time said pitcher faced Ruth
usually proved all wrong. A pitcher
makes Ruth look decidedly foolish
on a certain ball, only to have the big
fellow slash the pill into the bleach
ers the next time the pitcher resorts
to such a delivery.
