Both New York Clubs Finishing With Good Lead By Henry L. Farrell New York, Sept. 23. —Coming down the stretch under the whip in a driving finish, the New York clubs are leading the Pennant races in each league by # margin of 3% games—with the finish and the world’s series in sight. The Giants have 11 more games to

play and if they win seven of them, the Pirates cannot win. If the Giants win 5 out of 11, the Pirates will have to win all eight of their remaining games to cop the flag. Situation in the American league is practically the same on points with the Yankees lighting desiierately to retain a lead of three aud one-half games over the St. Louis Browns. if the Yanks win four of their seven remaining games, the Browns cannot finish first even if they win all of their six remaining games, it the 1 uiiks win ouiy iwo u£ <.ue en games to come, the Browns will have to win all six to get the pennant. The Yanks are getting such good pitching against spotty work by the Brown hurlers that New York seems almost certain of the .pennant. The Gfants are in a precarious condition without a pitcher who is sure to be able to go five innings. The Yanks open a three game series in Cleveland today while the Browns are entertaining the Athletics in St Louis and the Giants are meeting the Pirates in the last game of their series. ■ • WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD Taking the last game of the series from the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Giants increased their lead to four and one-half games in the National league race. With both the Yanks and the Browns winning, the situation remained the same in the American league with the Yanks holding a lead of three and one-half games over the St. Louis Browns. George Kelley’s single in the last half of the ninth drove Meusel in with the run that gave the Giants an 8 to 7 victory over the Pirates. Two doubles by Ruth and a pair of singles by Pipp. Meusel and Schang enabled the Yanks to beat the Indians, 9 to 3 in the first game of the series. Errors behind Hasty and Schilling caused the Athletics to drop the first
