Dodgers Have Almost Cinched Flag In the National
 League Race

New York, September 17.-Cleveland increased its lead in the American League pennant race to one full game by defeating Washington, while Chicago was winning the second game of their series from New York. Brooklyn maintained its six-game lead in the National League race by defeating Cincinnati, the world s champions slipping to third place as a result Of the New York Giants victory over Pittsburg
 Although Cleveland has a lead of Il points in the American League, the first threA clubs are so closely punched as regaids games won and lost that one days results has little effect upon the chances of any one of three winning the pennant. Cleveland had it's slump and then followed string of defeats for Chicago, but the Yankees lost just enough games during the slump of the other two contenders to keep the race close At present it is a mathematical impossipilty to figure out a certain winner.
 The situation in the National League is different, and although Brooklyn has not yet cinched the pennant, it will take al most superhuman effort to nose out the Superbas. The latter have ten more games to play, and if they win seven 1t would be impossible for New York or Cincinnati to tie them, even if the Giants and Reds won all their remaining games, fourteen and seventeen respectively
