GIANTS CAPTURED 8 OUT OF 11
Need 9 Wins If Cubs Take Remaining 10
Head for Home With 3VGame Lead; Yankees Back Into Pennant.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 24—The Yankees had the American League pennant in the bag today, while the Giants had all but tucked away the National League flag. The Giants were on their way home with a 3'%.-game lead after knocking down the Cubs for two straight and completing their final Western swing with eight victories in 11 games.
With only 10 games left to play, and six of them with the Cardinals, the Cubs’ cause looks hopeless. The Giants, with 13 games to play, need nine victories to clinch the pennant, if the Cubs sweep their remaining 10. And that is a big “if.”
Bill Terry's outfit struck a decisive blow yesterday by winning a knock-down-and-dragout game from the Cubs, 8-7, before 29,414 fans at Wrigley Field. The battle was crammed with hair-raising action, and the Cubs kept the result in doubt until the final out. They had the tying and winning runs on base when Augie Galan rolled out to Mel Ott to end the game. Jimmy Ripple, red-headed outfielder, and Cliff Melton, lanky southpaw who shut out the Cubs Wednesday, were the heroes of the Giants’ victory. Ripple made two doubles, driving in one run and scoring two, but his greatest feat was a running, back-handed catch of Billy Herman's liner with the bases loaded in the fourth after the Cubs had scored three runs to tie the score. Giants Get 17 Hits
The Giants rapped Davis, French, Root and Lee for 17 hits, with Joe Moore getting three doubles and two singles, and Dick Bartell getting three singles. Terry used four pitchers, Schumacher, Hubbell, Gumbert and Melton. Hubbell was credited with his 21st victory, but it was Melton who came in with the bases loaded and .one out in the ninth to halt a Cub uprising by retiring two men. The - Yankees backed into the pennant. They blew a 5-1 lead and lost to the St. Louis Browns, 9-5, but still won their ninth pennant, tying the Athletics’ American League record, and their second in a row when the Boston Red. Sox removed the last mathematical doubt by beating the Tigers, 4-3. Ben Chapman, former Yankee, struck the blow that nailed down the Yankee flag. He hit a homer in the ninth with two on to bring the Red Sox from behind to win. The Yanks entrained for Boston, where they play today. Joe DiMaggio was given permission to stay in New York to see his former schoolmate from San Francisco, Fred Apostoli, knock out Marcel Thil, European middleweight champion. Washington beat Cleveland, 3-2, behind rookie Joe Kirakauskas’ pitching and dropped the Indians to fifth place. Singles by Appling and Connors, a double steal and an infield out enabled the White Sox to win from the Athletics, 1-0. The Cardinals beat Brooklyn, 8-4, as Don Padgett hit two triples and a homer. It was the Dodgers’ ninth straight defeat.
