NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-In try
ing to decide at this point
whether the Cleveland Indians
or New York Yankees are
destined to uncover, their nog-
gins at the playing Of the ma
tional anthem for the first World
Series game September 80. it
becomes necessary to take a long
look at the ChicagL White Sox.
The White Sox by this time
must realize that. despite their
excellence in most departments,
they are not going to win the
American League race. The best
that Manager Paul Richards
ensemble can hope for is to win
some kind of an award as one
OF the best third-place ball clubs
in league history.
On June / the White Sox were
running a tight second, only a
single game behind the Indians.
Since then they have sustained
a winning average of well over
500, a gait that would have been
good enough to win the pennant
some years. and they find them
selves looking on.
May Decide Pennant Race.
When a thing such as that
happens, men are likely to turn
mean and want to take it out on
some one, and it is for this rea-
son that we feel it necessary to
try to figure out what the White
Sox are likely to do during the
next six weeks. and to whom.
They are going to decide the
pennant race. it seems here.
To begin with, the frustrated
Chicagoans have six more games
to play with Cleveland and only
three more whacks at the YAM
KEGS. Three of their contests
with the Indians will come in
the final week, September 20, q
and % at Cleveland. That series
figures to put a terrific strain
on Cleveland if the race still is
close. as it probably will be.
The White Sox get crack at
New York first, meeting the
Yankees August 20 and again
September 10 and II. The White
Sox also play Cleveland, Sep
TENDER 3. 4 and S.
SOx Holding Edge.
Up to this point the White
Sox are ahead of Cleveland over
the season. having won nine of
their Is meetings. In fact,
Richards speed boys are in the
black against every team in the
league except the Yankees.
Their present plight is largely
attributable to their inability to
beat the champions, who have
clobbered them 10 times in 10
tries.
There is no reason to suggest
that the White Sox will be any
easier for the Indians to beat
in their remaining six struggles

reading for the Milwaukee Braves
today.
Written into the annals Of the
National League by the New York
Giants. this remarkable record
is proof that baseball miracles
are possible.
Although firmly believing they
are the new team of destiny, the
Braves could use a little solid en-
couragement. They lost two out
Of three games to st. Louis. in
i Guiding a 2-1 ten-inning thriller
yesterday, and now trail New
York by five and one-half games.
Even now. however, they are
much better off than the Giants
were at this stage three seasons
ago. Milwaukee still could do it
all alone, without depending on a
collapse by either the Giants or
Brooklyn.
Play Giants Five Times.
1t could work this way. The
Braves have five games left with
the Giants. They've lost five
more than the Giants. A sweep
of the five would cancel out the
New York lead. The Braves and
Brooklyn play six more times
and the Braves have lost only
two more than the Dodgers.
In 1851 the Giants trailed
Brooklyn by seven games as late
as September /. They were still
six games behind in the losing
column on September 20. Only
a complete Dodger collapse in
the final week paved the way
to the playoff.
The Giants, apparently back
in good health after a critical
slump, won their third in a row,
$50, yesterday over Philadelphia.
Brooklyn again had to hustle
for a Us verdict over the scrappy
Pittsburgh Pirates. Cincinnati
took two from Chicago. TO and
6-3.
Detroit Ends Indians Streak.
The American League race saw
some changes for the first time
in 10 days as Detroit ended
Cleveland's winning streak at
nine games and New York and
Chicago both won.
Detroit and Cleveland split a
twin bill. The Indians won the
first game. 4-3. but lost the
nightcap, 81. The Yankees
whipped Philadelphia. 8-5. for
their 10th straight and Chicago
edged Baltimore. AS.
Cleveland now leads New York
by 21a games and Chicago by
8h.
Boston jumped ahead Of
Washington in their private
battle for fifth place with an
lie triumph.
