PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 9.—Walter Johnson's Washington Senators stood out today as the only dangerous obstacle remaining between the Philadelphia Athletics and their third consecutive American League championship. Although five games behind the pace-setting Athletics, Washington is in a position to climb to first place should Philadelphia falter. The Senatorr, have been traveling at a fast pace but have been unable to gain on the Athletics, who are continuing their success against the western clubs of the .eague. Thus far, the Athletics have shown no signs of a let-down, but Manager Johnson continues to drive his men in the hope that eventually Philadelphia will crack enough to enable his team to slip into first place. Although the Indians have shown surprising strength during the last two weeks, Cleveland and New York ] can practically be counted out of i the pennant scramble. The Yankees are nine games behind Philadelphia, while Cleveland, in fourth place, trails the leaders by ten full contests. The New York pitching staff is too erratic for the Yankees to become a serious contender while Cleveland appears to lack the allround closs of a championship team.
