!! NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The
last-place Philadelphia Phillies up
set the dope bucket and blasted
the New York Giants hopes of
cinching the National League PEN
nant yesterday. The New York
ers needed only two games to safe
ly and absolutely tuck the flag
under their arms and double win
over the Phils yesterday would
have supplied that margin.
However, the Phils had differ
cnt ideas, as evidenced by the re-
suits of the twin bill. They not
only defeated Terry's men twice
but marked up both wins with
ease.
Using Castleman in the opening
contest, the Giants were confident
of victory. But the Phillies hit
the ball all over the lot to secure
Is safeties and score IL runs to
the Giants seven markers. In the
nightcap, Gabler, Coffman and
Gumbert saw mound duty for the
league-leaders but were ineffec-
tive against the Pills sluggers, as
they garnered IL hits and scored
six runs. The New Workers cross
ed the plate only twice in this
game.
Meanwhile, the second-place
st. Louis Cardinals were whipping
the Cincinnati Reds, to 3. Pip
pen and Ryba held the Reds to but
seven safeties as the Gashouse
Gang got to Frey and r. Davis for
10 hits. And the Chicago Cubs
Kept right behind the Redbirds by
taking the Pittsburgh Pirates into
camp, IL to 4. Hoyt and Brown
were touched for Is safe blows by
the 1885 league champions, as
French and Davis held the BUGS to
seven hits. 49,
Yesterdays results puts little
different aspect on the outcome
of the National League race. The
Giants saw their comfortable six
game lead dwindle to four and
half game, with only six more
contests to play. The Gashouse
Gang has five remaining tits.
Should the New Workers lose all
their games, however, and the
Cardinals win all they have to
pl&y, ST. Louis would be one game
ahead of Terry's outfit. If the
RcdJirds win all their games and
the Giants lose just two, a tie will
result.
The best the Windy City Tribe
could do if they come out VIC
torious in their remaining four
games and the Giants lose all their
games, would be to tie the league
leaders. But if the Cubs lose just
one more game they will be elm
mated from the race.
The Boston Bees won a double
barrel affair from the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 4 to and to 2, both
by a one-run margin.
The Detroit Tigers gave the st.
Louis Browns the worst whipping
of the season in their dou5lehead-
er yesterday. The Tigers pound
ed the ball all over the field in
both games, collecting a total of
35 safeties. The scores in the
twin victory were terrific, IL to o
and IA to o. This assures the IT,
gers of the possession of second
place in the American League.
The New York Yankees need
only one more victory to break in
to the 100 figures. Their 99th
win was chalked up yesterday
against the Philadelphia Athletics,
10 to 8.
The Washington Senators shut
out the Boston Red Sox, 4 to 0.
In a game that was called at the
end of the 18th innings on account
of darkness, the Chicago White
Sox and Cleveland Indians played
an to 8 tie contest.
