On The Home Stretch

The Yankee pennant stock took boom today following their defeat of the Tigers while the Browns were losing to the Senator's The Yankees now have lead of two and a half games. They have nine more games to play, and the Browns have eight. Every victory the Yankees gain in their remaining games will make it so much the harder for the Browns to overhaul them. In order to win the Browns must gain three more vic tories than the Tanks in the few games remaining to be played. This looks like a herculean task. The Tanks can lose two Of their remain ing games and still win even if the Browns win all of their eight games.
 The Giants lost half a game of their lead yesterday when they were idle

 SAFE FOR BRASSCOS

Rochester's fight to gain the ser- cvies of "Jiggs" Donahue of the Brasscos is the bunk, if the word of Manager Paddy O'Connor of the Albany club is to be taken seriously. agreement with Albany allowed first choice on all players only after the season had closed.
