CURS GAIN ON CARDINALS FOR SECOND PLACE Chicago Only Half Game Behind Second Place Cards New York. Sept. 17. (U.R) Seven and eleven are the magic num- ■ bers for the New York Giants to day. The team of Terry and Hubbell and Ott hus 11 games to play and seven victories will bring the New York team into the promised land of the National league championship. Still 4% games ahead of St. Louis, although they split a double header yesterday with the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Giants are slam ming down the stretch with every hope for the title. The Cardinals also divided two games yesterday and they can't pass the New York team that way. The St. Louis team has only Dixzy Dean left on its pitching staff, otherwise completely wrecked, and even Dizzy can’t win a pennant single-handed every year. With seven victories in their remaining 11 games before they close the 1936 campaign on Sept. 27, the New York team would win the pen nant regardless of what the Cards did in their remaining 10 games
