Yaz7kee--Giant.
 Series Certain

The Giants and Yankees each gained a full game yestrday on their closest rivals for the pen- nantS in their respective leagues. The Giants are so firmly in- trenched in first place that they need only one more victory to be sure of a tic and only two more to clinch the pennant. These call culations are based on the SUD- position that the Pirates win all their remaining six games.
 The chances of the Yankees, while not so definite as those of the Giants, are nevertheless so good that it is improbable they will be overtaken by the Indians. The Yankees are leading by two full games and need only three more victories in five games to ciinch the pennant. In such an event, even should the Indians win their four remaining games, they would still be half a game behind
