AMERICAN LEAGUE BATTLE IS CLOSE Senators Appear To Have Slight Edge Over Young Athletics By Henry L. Farrell (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Aug. 29 — (United Press) —Smart baseball men have predieted since the American league pennant race developed into a two-fisted fight between the Washington Senators and the Philadelphia Athletics that the younger Athletics would crack under the < train It looks now as if the Ath |etlcs have < xploded and their plight would be critical if it had not hippenec that the Senators blew at the same, time and could not take advantage of the situation. The champion Senators now have a lead of a little belter than one fill; game and they arc playing better ball than Connie Muck's youngsters. The two teams have to play eight more games against each other and upon results of these eight games the American league pennant no doubt will hang. Unless they should break oven, the coming series may have the effect of the recent series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Giants which practically forced the Giants out of the running. The Senators had a very bad break when Joe Judge the veteran first baseman, was cracked in the head it» Detroit with a pitched ball and was forced out of the game. The defensive work of the infield was slowed up w hen Manager Bucky Harris was forced to move Roger Pock over to first and put the aged Deacon Scott in Peck's place at short. Even under this handicap the Sen 1 ators have been holding their own nn I der circumstances that would have caused a less experienced team to go to pieces. The Washington pitchers, who were overworked while Walter, Johnson was laid up with tonsolitis. are showing the effects of the strain Johnson now is not in his best form and Covcleskie and Reuther have not been as effective as they were Earlier in the season when they could work regularly in their turn. The Athletics have been in a hitting slump and their pitchers also have shown the strain of extra labor. The first two games of the series are lo be played in Washington next Tuesday and Wednesday and font gaftnes will lie played in Philadelphia on Sept 7. 8 ami 9. The seventh game will he played in Washington on Sept 13 and the final game, which might decide the pennant, will be played on the lust day of the season in Wash ington. 0 ■ Columbia City Gridders Begin Practice Monday Columbia City.
