CARDS GAIN TWO GAMES ON REDS St. Louis Club Becomes Favorite To Win National League Pennant By Henry L. Farrell New York, Sept. 3.—(Unite! Press) —St. Louis became .lie favorite again in the betting here today to win the National league pennant. Betting com. missioners in the financial district said they had a lot of money to lay at eight to five and the price might get better. Following a double victory over the Chicago Cubs yesterday, the Cards] gained a two game lead over th"' second place Cincinnati Reds and increased their advantage over the Pittsburgh Pirates to three (nil games. The Reds got a bad break by be-| lag stopped by rain tn' er getting away i in the b ad against the Pirates. The scene of battle shifts again to-] day. the Cardinals moving into Cin-f cinnati and the Pirates invading Chi ! cago. The set les in Cincinnati, between | the two leading clubs, will be one of i the most Important of the season. | The Cards haven’t hud any too much; luck against the Reds this reason as i they have lost eleven out of eighteen | games but it may be a different chib I that Roger Hornsby leads into the l Red domain on this last trip. Smait baseball men he-e, including] several connected with the Giants, now! believe that the Cardinals have the] best chance to win the pennant and I bring the first world's series to St. I Louis. i They figure that the Cards not only have a good ball c'.ub but they have become inspired like 'he Boston Braves of 1914. wh. rose from the cellar in mid-July and won the pennant and the World’s series in straight games from the Piiladelphia At hie, ties. Me Cards are a powerful hitting team. They are getting good pitching and the fielding, especially in yes-1 terday's games, was crose to sentation-, al. Hornsby, who has been off his hitting game this season and who possibly will not lead the league for the first time in seven years, is hitting again and that means much for the chances of the club. The situation retrained unchanged in the American league as the leading Yankees and the contending Cleveland] Indians were idle yesterday. The Yan- J kees still have a lead of six games and are heavy favorites. The Indians have Lie greatest pitch- 1 ing staff in the American andthe Yankees have been holding 'heirl t!>. t!■. ■ ■ g, , 1 UMMmWWIWrv Zgßir***** can be counted upon. —: O —* I ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ + ♦ + +♦++♦ ♦ BASE BALL STANDINGS + ♦♦♦*♦♦+♦♦♦♦+♦+++ W.
