LOOP LEADERS WIN WEDNESDAY Cards, Giants And Cubs All Win To Stay Closely Bunched New York, Sept. 5— <U.R> —Although they are definitely out of the race, the second division clubs ?*av hold the key to the bitter National league pennant fight. All four of them — Cincinnati. ; Ruston. Brooklyn and Philadelphia/ —have enough incentives to win games during the remainder of the season to cause the three | pennant chasers no end of trouble. The St. Louis Cardinals. New [ York Giants, and Chicago Cubs are bunched so closely as thev i hammer down the home-stretch ■ that every game won a.nd lost from now on has a bearing on their pennant chances. About the only team sure of its place is fourth place Pittsburgh, too far behind to rise any further and too far ahead to drop any lower. Here are the second division in centives which may pla.v a major part in the pennant scrap: Cincinnati — Charley Dressen, completing his first full year as manager, hopes to win 61 games. The Reds haven’t scored that many victories in five years and need only five more triumphs to turn the trick. Philadelphia—The Phils, waging a. spirited battle for fifth place, will fall below last sea-on's level if they finish lower than that. Four games behind The Brooklyn Dodgers, Philadelphia is primed to take over the second division lead before the season ends. The Dodgers have two incentives: to take fifth place, which would be an improvement over 1933 and 1934 when they were
