NEW YORK, Sept. 26. up
The New York Giants today Off
cially ended their two year reign
as National League champions.
They are out of the pennant race
and so are the Cincinnati Reds,

bridge the gap from last to first
in one season.
But there still is battle in the
National League, with the Chicago
Cubs, riding, the crest of a six
game winning streak, hot on the
trail OF the Pirates. Pittsburgh has
two game lead but moves into
Chicago tomorrow from a three
game series which probably will
settle the issue. Each contender
has seven games left-the Pirates
playing three with the Cubs and
four with the Reds and the Cubs
playing four with the Cardinals in
addition to the Pittsburgh series,
The Pirates eliminated the Reds
yesterday With a 5-3 triumph.
With Clay Bryant picChing his
18th victory with only two days
rest, the Cubs captured their 10th
game in the last 10 played by trim
ming the Cardinals, 7-2.
The Boston Bees terminated the
Giants championship reign by de-
