CARDS AND REDS ARE TIED AGAIN With Only Nine Games Left To Play National League Race Is Deadlocked New York, Sept. 17.—(United Press) —Nine games to go, and the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds were tied for first place again in the National league pennant fight today. Even the approach of the DempseyTunney fight, the National golf and the tennis championships failed to detract from the interest here in the most exciting baseball race seen in many years. Sentiment and betting was almost even, although the Reds seemed to be given a slight edge, due to the disputed superiority of their pitching staff. It is generally predicted that the deadlock will continue until Sept. 26. when the two teams meet for the final game of the season if they are tied, or one team is not more than a game behind, the issue either would be decided by that game, or a playoff would be necessary. The Cards, halt' a game behind the Reds yesterday, evened the race by defeating the Phillies twice while the Reds won one game from the New York Giants. The Philadelphia games made a horrifying baseball spectacle. The Cards gathered 41 hits and 33 runs in the two games. The Reds played championship ball in shutting out the troublesome Giants and their supporters were greatly encouraged. The Reds meet the Giants again today and the Cards play the Phillies In the American league, the Cleve land Indians showed symptoms of putting up a battle for the flag. By winning both games of a double head er, 2-1 and 5-0, Cleveland cut NewYork's lead to 4 l _> games. o YESTERDAY'S RESULTS National League St. Louis, 23-10; Philadelphia. 3-2.
