The Giants still have to contend with the Cubs, but daily the pennant comes closer to the Terrymen. They Lave a three-game lead with 2 games left to play. - If they win 17 the Cubs will have fo win 20 out of 25 to win the pennant.

Toledo Two Behind With Three to Go

Hens Gain on Red Birds at Tribe Expense; Indians In Columbus.

TOLEDO, Sept. 10.—Defeating

| Indianapolis in both ends of last

night's double-header here, the second-place Mud Hens pulled within two games of the league-leading

Red Birds who split a twin bill with the Louisville Colonels at Columbus. Both Hens and Birds have three games to go, the former with Louisville, the latter with Indianapolis. Minneapolis, in third place, is 3% games behind the leaders and has four games left with Kansas City. Wade Killefer’s Hoosiers dropped five out of six tilts to the Hens in the series which closed last night. Scores of the windup games were 11 to 10 and 1 to 0. The Tribesters are to battle the Birds in Columbus tonight, one game tomorrow afternoon and the final Sunday afternoon. Two Homers by Coleman

Ed Coleman, Toledo outfielder, walloped a home run in the ninth inning to down the Tribe in the night’s initial battle which was a slugfest. Coleman also got a homer earlier to help the Hens catch up with the Redskins. Fhe hits were 14 for the winners and 16 for the losers. Phillips and Crandall pitched for the Tribe and Joe Sullivan and Fred Johnson for Toledo. In the seven-inning second fray the Indians were held to two blows by Firpo Marberry, and Lloyd Johnson allowed only three to the Hens. Clifton walked in the third frame and scored on Burns’ double for the lone tally of the contest. The double defeat enabled St. Paul to tie Indianapolis for sixth place.
