CHAMPIONS BOW EIGHT TIMES IN LAST TEN GAMES
McKechniemen Have Job on Hands to Keep Pitts.
 burg From Third Place
BY GEORGE KTRKsEY United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Sept. 6-(UP)-Al- though they aren't quite out of 1t mathematically yet, the pennant race Is all over for the world champion Cincinnati Reds, They've lost eight of their last 10 games and will have to battle to hold third place from the Pittsburgh Pirates If they don't show some fire and fight.
 The Reds split @ ouble-header yesterday with the Pirates in the only National league games. Ragged defensive play by the Pirates helped the Reds score five unearned runs in an eight-run rally in the eighth and they copped the opener. 10-4, The Pirates won the nightcap, 10, darkness halting play after 6 Ia innings.
 The even break enabled the Reds to hold their half game lead over the Pirates. The Reds failure to make & more determined drive dur ing the past two weeks has been a big disappointment to the follow CTS. In early August they showed signs of coming to life but their spurt soon was cooled off.
 Feature of the Reds first game victory yesterday was Eddie Joost's homer with the bases loaded. It was only his third homer of the season. Although Paul Derringer was taken out for a pinch-hitter he received credit for his llth vic- tory. In the nightcap, Ray Starr, 34-year.old veteran bought from Indianapolis, lost Q pitching duel to Lloyd Dietz, who once had Q tryout with the Reds but failed to make the grade. Starr gave up only five hits but two of them beat him. Anderson singled, was sae- riflced and scored on Bob Elliotts double.
 With the rest of the American league Idle, the Chicago White sox lost clear title to second-place be- hind the new champions, the New York Yankees, when they dropped their fifth decision In Q row to the st, Louis Browns in a night game ct Chicago. Elden Auker gave the sox only five hits, winning 3 to l victory, which put the Chicago club In e tie with Boston for the run- ner-up spot.
 Buck Ross, Chicago starter who was ticketed with the loss, had to leave the game in the seventh in- ming because of Q pulled muscle in his side.

And Mr.. SABBATH so recorded himself.
The Illinois member finds most
satisfaction, as he looks back over
his legislative career, In the welfare
measures he was pioneer in spon-

workmen's compensation bill. 1t be-
came law, and he received in per-

Mr.. SABBATH, too, was one OF the
earliest advocates of old-age pen

ties and stock exchanges, legislation
establishing the parcel post, the air
mail and the Reconstruction Finance

he fought in their controversial
stages, he saw placed on the statute

 At the same time, he prohibited Efrem Zimbalist and Joseph Szigeti, leading musical artists, from fulfilling scheduled engagements with the or chestra.
 Zimba1ist and Szigeti shifted from the American Guild of Musical Ar lists (AFL) to the ATM after Pe- trillo demanded jurisdiction over con cert performers.
