Dodgers Need Three
More to End Debate
A S a result of their victory over

a S result of their victory over
the Pirates yesterday, while
the Giants and Reds were breaking
even in a double header, the Dodg-
ers NOW have to win only three of
their seven remaining games to
clinch the pennant. If the Brook
lynites win these three, one must
be from the New Workers, as they
still have five games to play with
the Giants.
In that event the Dodgers would
have 81 games won and SO lost, for
a percentage of .591. 1t would then
be impossible for the Giants to bet
ter these figures even IL they won
nine of their ten remaining games,
as this would give them 80 games
won and 6a lost, for q final per-
centage of .584. The Reds, to beat
ont the Dodgers, must win all of
their remaining thirteen games.
Although the Yankees triumphed
yesterday they failed to gain any
ground on the Indians or White Sox,
as both these teams were also VIC
torious. The Yanks are still three
full games behind Cleveland and
one and half behind Chicago.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20.-After losing

and the Browns, and with them their
chance to win a pennant this season,
the Yankees resumed their old-time
winning way to-day and fattened the
Burkemen in an extra-i inning engage

Ruth registered q brand new record
while carrying the winning run across.
This was the Master Mauler's 148th
run OF the season, one more than Ty
COBB scored when he made the Ameri-
can League record back in 1911.
Wnen she Babe came to. bat in the
eleventh inning the score was knotted
up at three all, with Carl Mays and
Carl Weiiman going strong. Both had

strong IN the pinches. The Yanks had
scored two runs in the second inning
and another in the fourth, but had
made only four widely scattered hits

the temporary bleachers in left field in
the ninth inning tied the score after
the visitors had taken the lead in their
half A single by Neis and Myers's
wo-bagger sent the winning run across
in the tenth.
Earl Hamilton, who was on the
mound for the Buccaneers, was bumped
with considerable frequency, but he
managed to keep the nome players
scoreless until the ninth inning. The
Dodgers would have had run in the
touch third base when Myers sent him
home from second on single to left.
Hamilton was found for n total of thir-
teen hits, but these were fairly we'll
scattered until the ninth. The Brook
lynites previously had several chances
to shove run across, but the visitors
twirler turned them back on each oc-
easion with the help of fine support.
Leon Cadore Not at Best
Leon Cadore, who started in the box
for the Flatbush clan, was also hit
rather freely. and was found for at
least one safety in each inning until he
developed kink in his arm in the
sixth and was removed in favor of Al
Mamaux. The newcomer went along
very nicely until the ninth, when the
Pirates scored what appeared to be
the deciding tally. The Buccaneers had
at least one man on the bases in every
inning, with the exception of the
eighth. but they were unable to break
through until the ninth
The Dodgers threatened to take the
lead as early as the second inning, but
Hamilton pulled himself together and
tanned Cadore for the third out. After
Myers had flied to Summa, Konetchv
slammed single through McKechnie
and Kilduff popped to Traynor. Miller
{hen shot single to left, putting
konetchy on second, but Csdore left
both runners stranded by striking out.
Wheat opened the fourth with q
double to deep left field and Myers
drove single to left on which Wheat
fielders called Umpire Moran's atten-
fielders called Umpire Rigler's atten-
tion to the fact that Zack failed to
touch third base on the hit and Zack
was promptly called out. Konetchy
forced Myers at second on grounder
to Cutshaw and Kiduff ended the up
rising by striking out.
Waste Two Hits in Fifth
The home players punched two more

dropped short fly in right field for
single: Olson famed, but Johnston
sent Cadore to third on another single
to left. Neis rolled one down to Cut
shaw, who made a poor throw to first.
but Grimm made a great one-hand
Wheat opened the sixth by beating
out slow roller to Cutshaw, and
Myers sent him to second on sacri-
fice hunt to Grimm. Wheat then took
third on Konetchy's bounder to Haml-
ton, but Kilduf grounded to Traynor
for the thir1 out.
The Pirates had previously threat
ened to break the deadlock on several
occasions. Grimm, the first batter in
the second inning, reached first on
wild throw by Kilduff McKechne fol-
lowed with a single to right, but
Grimm pulled up at second. Traynor
forced Grimm at third on a roller to
Cadore, but Schmidt was safe on o.

gle to center, but the next three batters
went out in order. Traynor and
Schmidt also singled in the fourth, but
Hamilton left them stranded by strik-
ing out.
Traynor slammed a two-bagger to
the right field wall to start the ninth
and Schmidt sent him to second OH a
sacrifice bunt to Mamaux. Hamilton
famed for the third successive time,
but Bigbee shot a single to center,
which scored Traynor.
The situation looked rather hopeless
for the Dodgers until Konetchy con-
nected with one of Hamilton's shoots
and drove out his circuit clout, which
tied the score.
After Johnston had popped to Cut
shaw in the tenth Neis singled to cen
ter. Wheat flied out to Summs, but
Myers smashed one off the right field
wall and Neis easily scored with the
winning run.
