Superbas Increase

[Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, Sept. 10-The major league pennant chasers underwent no change of position today for the first time this week. The Brooklyn Ma tionals. leaders. gained three points on Cincinnati and New York, both of which did not play, while the New York Americans obtained revenge on the Cleveland leaders for yesterdays defeat.
 The Indians have no game advantage over Chicago, which won from Boston and are only three points ahead of the White Sox. The Yankees are eight points behind Cleveland and if they win the odd game of the series to- morrow they will possess a half game advantage on the Indians but by a freak of figures will be one point be- hind them.
 The ability of the Brooklyn Ma tionals to come through with a four run rally in the eleventh inning today to win from St. Louis after tieing the westerners in the ninth. shows that the Superbas are imbibed with a fight ing spirit that will stand them well in the close race.
 Brooklyn's fourth straight victory put it a full game, or four points, ahead, of Cincinnati, and three games, or p points. ahead of New York.
