The American league race
could very well be settled the
last 10 days of the season,
when the Yankees and Red Sox
play each other seven times,
four of the games in Boston.
Yankees are 10-1 for the season
with both Chicago and Detroit,
nine and six with the Med Sox,
and eight arid 10 with Cleve
land. Their strength, you might
say, has been in the weakness
of the Orioles, from whom
they have won 18 of 20. How
ever, the Indians have won 17
oif 20 from Baltimore. If the
White Sox had enjoyed similar
success against the last-place
club they’d be sitting pretty
now
The story that Swaps came
out of his match race with a
lame right foreleg is unfor
tunate in that it takes a little
of the glitter from Nashua’s tri
umpih. Everyone had the idea
that two sound horses were run
ning, and that the better horse
won. Wonder what Swaps wou
Id day if he knew on alibi had
been offered ifbr him We tho
ught Swaps ran a good race,
showed no sign of injury, and
was beaten just because he
couldn't match his rival.
We also thought Eddie Ar
caro rode a masterful race, go
ing ito the bat when necessary,
which means nght from the
start. Nashua always litas been
a loafer. If Eddie hadn’t whack
ed his behind coming out of
the gate, and hence got away
to a good lead, it is difficult to
tell iwhtat might have happened.
The two line three year olds
probably won’t (be meeting a
gain this year, and that’s a
pity. A one and one record for
each in two meetings always
leaves a doubt which can only
be erased by a third meeting.
From Swaps standpoint it’s too
b?id his only defeat of the year
ihatd to be accompanied by an
ialifei.

COAST LEAGUE RACE
GETTING CLOSE TO END
by The Associated Press
Mathematics are catching up
with Hollywood and San Diego
in the Pacific Coast league
chase.
The two clulbs, tied for se
cond place four games behind
league leading Seattle, have
little more than a theoretical
chance to catch the Rainier®
with only seven more games
to play. Seattle dropped the se
cond game of its douibleheader
to Oakland yesterday 7-4 after
winning a 5-4 opener.
But neither Hollywood notr
San Diego took advantage. The
Stars just held their own by
splitting with Sacramento, los
ing 7-6 then winning 4-2. The
Padres lost twice to San Fran
cisco 4-3 and 5-3.
Fourth place Los Angeles
took two from Portland 6-2 and
7-2.
