The National League race was still
more remarkable inasmuch as the
Cubs put both the Pirates and Giants
out OF the running in their last Two
league games Of the season. However,
had Pittsburgh won its most crucial
game on a Sunday, October 4. 1918. in
Chicago. IL would have given thf
Pirates the pfnnant and the famous
play-off game between the Giants and
Cubs in the following week never
would have been played.
The Western National League teams
were scheduled to finish their games
on Sunday. October 4. The Eastern
teams had three more games sched-
uled on October 5. 6 and Z. Oddly
enough the schedule brought Chicago
and Pittsburgh together on that Email

Won Featherweight Title.
Edwards won the British feather

1915, the Britisher foulins him in the
eleventh round. This gave Edwar ds
the title and the Lord Lonylsle belt.
However, he did not remain in Eng

Australia and has done all his boxing
there and in New Zealand and the
Philippines. Prominent among his
