CONTEST BEING
NARROWED DOWN
TO SURE THING
Each Team May Still Lose
Game and Win
Pennant
By HENRY L. FARRELL I
Omitted Press Staff Correspondentl

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Two
more victories as they .enow stand
will put the New York Giants into
the world series and with three more
victories the Washington Senators
will become their opponents. :. Re
the two Major leagues do in their
gardless of what the runners up in
remaining games, the Giants and
the Senators can lose one more game
and win the pennant.
In sweeping three games from the
Pirates and knocking them clear out
of the pennant race, the three times
champions played baseball that was
almost unbeatable: The Senators
will have time With them in the
world series even if Heine Groh and
frankie Frisch do not get back into
the game. , -. :. s,.. -
The Brooklyn Robins have only
two more games to play against the
Boston Braves and the Robins will
win probably both games but unless
the Giants crack and 1oscs three
games to the Phils, Brooklyn has no
chance to win the pennant. If the
Giants losetw games to thcy Pills
and the Robins win their pair, the
two clubs will finish in a ties for
first place. They would have to
play it off then in three game
series. 7's-'r'-''.
The New York lanks, two full
games behind the leading Senators,
start on their last stand today in
Philadelphia. Their hope to get into
the 8ries is forlorn. D Z at5z
Washington can cinch the pennant
by three wins Of the four remaining
games with the Boston Red Sox
If the Senators should happen to
drop two games and the iYanks
should win four against the Ath-
letics, they would finish in a tie.
The Senators would4have to lose
three out of four to. lose the pen
nant if the Yankees didn't lose an
other game.

Leads Coolidge by ao4, But
South Dakota Result Is
Still Uncertain.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March
27.-Senator johnson drew away
slightly from President Coolidge
in the close race for South
Dakota's Presidential endorsement
and with reports Of additional pre-
cincts today had increased his
lead over the President to 394.
The vote from 1870 precincts
stood:
johnson, 36,217.
Coolidge, 35,S23.
Johnson Gains Expected
The remaining precincts to be
heard from are in country districts
where Senator Johnson's supporters
claim he will make further gains.
Succeeding returns from the rural
districts which were conceded to be
Johnson strongholds saw the Presi-
Dental majority reduced from the
5000 lead he held early yesterday
to half that before night.
In the o. O'Clock returns last
night he still was ahead by 1000
but in the succeeding two hours this
advantage disappeared and the Cali
fornia Senator stepped out in front.
Johnson's lead at midnight was
believed to be 500 votes, but it was
learned that two districts had been
duplicated in the compilation, with
the result that the lead was cut to
IS votes.
Sterling Losses Grow
With the remaining one-tenth of
the vote scattered through more
than 400 outlying precincts. the re-
suit was still a question to hold the
attention Of the political spectators.
Governor w. H. McMasterS con.
tinued to swell his commanding
lead over Senator Sterling in the
race for the Republican nomination
for United States Senator. His
lead approached the ten thousand
mark early today.
State Democratic headquarters re.
ported that William Gibbs McAdoo
had carried the State three to one
against the fusion forces, who
sought the sending of an unin.
