GIANTS HAVE THE EDGE
II They Win From Pirates the Ma
tionaI League Race Is Over.
Nv DAVIS WAI CII
BY DAVIS J. Walls


New York Sept. 20.-The last of the
1922 'if'' series, comes down to de-
cision at the Polo grounds during the
next threead days in the final meeting
of the Pirates-and the Giants.
The Giants are riding high. wide
and handsome today. five and one
half games in front with thirteen to
go. Therefore, IF the Pirates can run
thru them for three straight, the
Pittsburgh outfit will only be two
and one-half games in the rear with
seven to play. Then the Pirates would
be forced to win six of these seven
games, IF the Giants break even on
the remaining ten of the race to end
in tie.
If the Pirates take two out of three
in the present series, and rush thru the
rest of the schedule without a defeat,
in short, win nine of their next ten
games, the Giants would only have to
win four of their last ten games to
get tie.
But IF the Giants win the series.
every one can pick up their building
blocks and go on about their business.
1t will be all over.
Rec1oned on the full schedule, re-
gardless of the Giant-Pirate equation,
the McGraw entry need only land six
more games altogether to force the
Pirates to win all of their remaining
ten. In short, the Pirates may be a
possibility, but we would not give Il
mathematical nickel for their chances.

The pENNAhT RACE


The Yankee pennant stock took a
boom today following their defeat Of
the Tigers while the Browns were los
ing to the Senators. The Yanks now
have lead of two and one-half games.
They have nine more games to play
and the Browns have eight. Every
victory the Yanks gain in their re-
naming games will make it so much
harder for the Browns to overhaul
them. In order to win, the Browns
must gain three more victories than
the Yanks in the few games remaining
to be played. The Yanks can lose two
of their remaining games, even if the
Browns win all of their eight games.
The Giants lost half game of their
lead yesterday when they were idle
while the Pirates were trimming the
Phillies. The Giants have lead of
five and half games They meet
the Pirates in the first of a three
game series today. Pittsburgh must
sweep the series to have a look in on
the pennant. One or more victories
for the Giants will shatter the Pirates
chances. The Giants have thirteen
more games to play while the Pirates
have ten. The Giants need only seven
of their remaining contests to win out,
even If the Pirates win all their ten
games. This gives the Giants the edge
as they have to play little better than
500 ball while the Pirates must play
1000.
All in all, it looks like another New
York worlds series two weeks from
now

TAGGING THE BASES

Heavy gloom settled over the west bank
of the Mississippi as the st. Louis Browns
lost to the Senators, to g. and slipped two
and~one-half games behind the Yanks.
The Senators landed on Vangilder for
three runs in the eighth, doubles by Har-
ris and Rice figuring prominently. VII

The Pirates placed themselves in the class

the Pills off, 8 to 1, while the Giants were
idle. They are now five and one-half
games behind.
Speaker trotted out pair, of bushers,
Metevier and Winn, and they pitched the
Indians into a double victory over the Red
Sox, to 4, and to 2.
The Yanks kept running with the bit in
their teeth by beating Pillette and the
Tigers, 4 to g. The Babe smote his thirty
fourth homer. Jones held the Tigers to
four hits.
Rogers Hornsby hit safely in his thirty
third consecutive game as the Cards tossed
the Braves for an s to 4 loss.

There were three of them at the

Linda did not wish them to encircle
the house to the rear door and dis
cover Bruce and herself in the act of

expected to find Bruces body on the

These were mountain men and they

other things they knew it wasn't wise
to stand long in an open doorway with
the freight of the ruined pine behind

Holding his rife like a club, he

lighted another match, then darted
into the kitchen. In the dim match
light the truth went home to him.
He turned, eyes glittering. They've
