CLOSE RACE
IS SEEN IN
AMER. LEAG.
(By Associated Press)
So you thought those recent two
team dead heats in the American
National Leagues were hot stuff?
Pooh’ they were just routine fin
ishes compared to what may happen
this year. For those who are looking
for real, honest-to-goodness, spine
tingling excitement, how about a
four-way deadlock for first place?
Don’t scoff. It could happen. The
way the American League race has
been moving along it wouldn’t cause
too much of a surprise should De
troit, New York, Cleveland and Bos
ton wind up all even on the evening
of Oct. 1—the regular season’s fin
al day.
Get a close-up of the last two days
of the campaign. The Tigers will
be host to the Indians on Saturday,
Sept. 30 and Sunday, Oct. 1. The
same two afternoons, the Red Sox
will tangle with the Yankees in Bos
ton.
Here is the picture today:
Detroit is on the top with 34
games left to play. New York is se
cond, one game behind, with 32 lefl
to play. Cleveland is third, one
game behind New York, with 30 to
play.
Boston is lourtn, one game ue
hind Cleveland, also with 30 to go.
Boston was the only one of the
big four to win yesterday. The Red
Sox came from a mile behind to
outlast the Indians, 15-14. Detroit
bowed to Philadelphia’s oft-beaten
Athletics, 4-3. The Chicago White
Sox upset the Yankees, 6-4.
Singularly, only one homer was
among the collection of 30 base'
hits in the Sox-Indians’ affair. But
that was the big one. It was hit by
A1 Zarilla to provide Boston with its
final run. Bob Feller, third of four
Cleveland pitchers, was the loser.
Outfielder Sam Chapman, who
batted the A’s to victory over the
Tigers Sunday, did it again yester
day. His double in the sixth scored
Philadelphia’s third and fourth runs.
Ray Scarborough’s six hit pitch
ing plus a two-run homer by out
fielder Gus Zemial kept the Yank
ees from a virtual tie for first place.
Philadelphia’s Phillies increased
their first place margin over Brook
lyn in the National League to five
and-a-half games. The Phils split
a doubleheader in Chicago while
St. Louis’ Cardinals were taking the
second straight from the Dodgers,
3-1. In the Philadelphia-Chicago
bill, the Cubs won the first 7-5 and
the Phils the second, 9-5.
A home run by Homer Howell with
two out in the last of the ninth
gave Ewell Blackwell and the Cin
cinnati Reds a 3-2 victory over the
New York Giants.
Young Jim Pearce pitched shut
out ball for eight innings as Wash- j
ington defeated the St. Louis!
Browns, 9-3.
Pittsburgh and the Boston Braves
were not scheduled.
