 The gaunt form of Cornelius Me Gillcuddy, familiar figure in base ball wars for 41 years and more, stands ready again to lead a tri- umphapt force into the promised land. After a vigil lasting through 15 seasons, the end of the rainbow Is in sight for the generalissimo of the Athletic army-the end of the rainbow and its hountiful pot of world series gold.
 A victory over the White Sox by 5 to at Shibc park yesterday as the Yankees lay idle in rain brought the house of Mack 10 within two games Of certain victory. Another Athletic triumph over Chicago today and the loss of either game today by the Yankees would end it. A re- verse for the Macks, however. proba- hy would deprive them of the sat isfaction of clinching their own flag, as the Tanks doubtless would do it for them in one of the games against Cleveland Sunday,
 The Athletics stopped the White Sox yesterday only after young Ed Walsh had given them bad run of seven innings. Two early runs. one of them scored on a homer by Bo- icy, were nullifed by Jimmy Dykes fourth inning tumble, which paved the way for two Chicago markers and tied score.
 Facing Walsh in the eighth with two Athletics on base, Al Simmons pounded the ball into the stands with his goth home run. which sent the As home ahead by to ? Walsh gave only six hits, but Simmons and Bishop got triples and Simmons and Boley home runs. Howard Ehmkc got credit for the victory. but Bob Grove pitched the ninth after pinch batsman had relieved the tall right handler in the eighth.
 The Yankees darkened their atadi- um on technical charge Of rain, building up doublehcader for to- day, and the Senators nosed ont tho Indians by 10 3. The Red SoX and the Tigers had an open date, The re verse in Washington left the ambi- tious Indians only one and one half games ahead Of the equally ambi- tious Browns in the scramble for third money.
 The clinching of the National league pennant by the Cubs was postponed yesterday when the re- juvenated Phillies woathered a ninth n Nj n 1tl H the second place duel of the Pirates and the Giants was halted by rain at Forbes field. The game cannot be played off. but neither team ptofted nor lost, since both were involved in the cancellation.
 After piling up seven runs against Sheriff Blake before he departed with none out in the eighth, the Phillies entered the last of the ninth with margin of to and Phil Collins performing heroically in a relief role. Then with one out. Rogers Hornsby hit his 36th homer. and Wilson and Cuyler singled. Out went Collins with 39,900 fans creat Ing bedlam and in came WillOugh- by.
 The Philadelphia ace retired Stephenson on d grounder. but both runners advanced. and WjIloughby thought it best to pass Tolson to make a fore" at every base. The star or Burt Shotton's staff then caused Taylor to ground weakly 10 the in- field, and Tolson was forced, end ing the game, The ultimate triumph of the Cubs thus was postponed for a day, and the phls remained with in half q game of the fifth place Robins who defeated Cincinnati hy 4 to ?.
 St. Louis assaulted the Braves for two victories by 3 to . and to 3 to round out the National loagge program.
