THE DAILY ALASKA EMPI BIG GAME SCHEDULED FORTODAY | | Braves Claflith Indians in Tight Race for Pen- ~ nant Honors By RALPH RODEN The Boston Braves can clinch| their first pennant in 34 years to-| day but the Laseball spotlight will be centered on Cleveland where the Indians tackle the Boston Red Sox| with first place in the American League at stake Billy Southworth's Braves, who have had the National League pen- nant virtually sewed up for weeks, can mathematically win it (cdz\yf by beating the St. Louis Cardinals| providing the runner-up Brookiyn Dodgers bow to Pittsburgh. i The Braves virtually killed off the remaining pennant hop:s of both the Cards and Dodgers yesterday, taking a twin bill from tke Red Birds, 11-3 and 4-0 while the Dodg- | ers bowed, 12-11 and 6-3 to Pitts- burgh. The Braves now lead ine vodzers | by ceven and one-half games. Both teams have nine games left to| play. The Cards are eight games| back with 10 to go and a loss to- day will knock them out. However, the main attention will | be riveted on th: Red Sox-Indian clash under the lights at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium. The league-leading Red Sox are only a game in front of the runner- up Indians who have won their last six starts. A Cleveland victory would put the two teams in a flat- footed tie, for the lead. A Boston triumph would jump the Red Sox two games ahead with only cight games left to play for each tcam. Bob Feller (16-14), who has been pitching great tall s'nce late Au- gust, will start for Cleveland against Boston’s Joe Dobson (16-8). The Red Sox trounced the Le- troit Tigers, 10-2, yesterday in the only game played in the American league.
