GIANTS NOW ON
PENNANT Pike
Can't Help Win in National;
Yankees in Last Minute
Fight
ST. LOUIS STILL
is CONTENDER

NEW YORK. Sept. 12 Omitted
Press) After hitting all the bumps
and the low spots OF the pennan;
pike the Giants are almost in q posi-
tion where they can't help but get
there first.
Nothing but disaster can keep Nc
Graw's men from winning the Ma
tional League rag.
Taking two games yesterday from
the kindly Braves, the Giants In
creased their lead to FIVE and one
half games over the running up
Pirates.
The Giants have twenty more
games to play around the home lot
while the Pirates have nineteen
more on the schedule.
Getting down to mathematics, II
the Giants win only nine OF the re-
naming twenty games the Pirates
will have to take fourteen out OF
their nineteen. Neither rests with
in the range OF probability.
Starting tomorrow. the Giants
have three games with the Cubs
then four games in three days with
the Cincinnati Reds.
Three games then follow with the
Pittsburgh Pirates and four with the
St. Louis Cards. Philadelphia and
Boston are last on the schedule.
True, the Pittsburgh Pirates have
chance but it is so slim that the boys
hardly will figure on spending
worlds series money.
with the New York Yanks It is
not so good The American League
champions have a lead Of a game
and a half over the battling st. Louis
Browns, and they have twenty more
games to play-all OF. them on the
road. The Browns have sixteen more
games-all at home. The influence
OF the home lot may be a big factor
in the race.
Mathematics will not work so well
ir figuring the chances OF the Yanks
and Browns because they are too
close to figure.
The American League pennant
may be decided in the three game
series starting Saturday in st. Louis
between the Yanks and the Browns.
Either team can about cinch the
pennant with n clean sweep OF the
series. otherwise the agony may be
merely prolonged.
One thing is sure the Browns are
hanging and when they get home
for a long stay their morale should
not be shaken.
On their recent trip TO New York,

Watching Scoreboard

With double victory over the
Braves while the Pirates were idle.
the Giants ran their lead in the
National League up 10 five and one
half games. The Yanks and Browns
both won in the American League
and the situation remained the
same with the Yanks leading by a
game and a half.
Fine relief pitching by Ryan and
Hill. a new recruit, and heavy hit
ting by Kelly gave the Giants a
double victory over the Braves.
both by the score OF 10 6.
Two homers and two doubles by
Babe Ruth and timely bingles by
Pipp. sehang and Ward enabled the
Yanks to beat the Athletics. Q TO 4.
with the bases filled and two
down in the ninth McManus singled
and drove in the runs that gave
the Browns a 10 4 victory over the
Tigers.
Seventeen hits raped on Piercy
and Rarr gave the Senators a ~
70 win from tho Red Sox.

NEW YORK. Sept. ~ CUnites
Press)-A"You can't stop betting OF
baseball games but you can make &
hard for the big gamblers. prom.
inent baseball official said recently
in discussing the efforts OF club own
ers to remove the gambling menace
from the game.
Since 1919 earnest efforts have
been made TO check the activities OF
gamblers. The big operators were
barred from most OF the parks and
the use OF telephones on the grounds
were restricted. In several parks
the phones have been removed en-
tirely.
Private detectives are also en-
ployed 20 mix in the crowds IN the
stands and take any offenders to the
gate.
II isn't the little gamblers that we
watch. We know there isn't any par
ticular harm in two friends making
a bet Of a dollar or two that one
team will win or that a batter will
get on base or something like that.
We consider that a friendly wager.
Even bets up into one or two hun
dred dollars aren't enough 10 cause
concern, but when money starts TO
be put up in the thousands we get
