NEW YORK, Sept. 27. CUP)-T'he
Detroit Tigers and ST. Louis Browns
remained tied for first place in the
American league for the second
consecutive day Wednesday and
about the only certainty in the red
hOt race was that the parties in
yolvec faced five days of almost
nerye-Wracking tension.
Both clubs won again Tuesday,
both have identical won and lost
records and both have five big
games left to play, trying situa-
ton for highly trained and keyed
athletes. To each player, the differ
ence in winning and losing the pen
nant means upwards Of $4,000 re-
gardless of how they finish in the
world series. Thus, every play means
something extra TO the participants
and il is at this stage Of the game
that money players" the fellows
who don't get ratified when the
chips are down, are worth their
weight in World series checks.
TROUT'S 27TH WIN
the Tigers took a short lived
half game lead when Dizzy Trout
pitched them to a SO. sight shut
out over the Philadelphia Athletics
in an afternoon game. The victory

only run of the game.
The New York Yankees, the only
ones who have not yet counted
themselves out of the race, stayed
within three games of the leaders
by beating the Chicago White Sox,
9-5. The Yanks won in old-time
Yankee fashion. Trailing 40 going
into the fifth, the Yanks tied the
count on successive homers by Nick
