TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 28 1948 sfiff ‘Fighl for American League Pennant Near End; Indians Favored as Winners By JOHN CHANDLER The tightest three-team flag fight in the American League in 40- years continued at the boil- ing point today- as.the Celevland Indians, New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox prepare to slug it out to the bitter end. One game ahead of the Yankces and Red Sbx—deadlocked in a sec- ond place tie—were the Indians, in a strategic spot to grab off the first Cleveland pennant in 28 years. Not since the Detroit Tigers . nailed down the championship on the last day of the 1908 season has the junior loop° seen such struggle. o Afternoon games between the Red Sox and Washington Senators| at Boston and the Yankees and Athletics at Philadelphia will set the stage for tonight's encounter between the Indians and Chicago White Sox in Cleveland. Each team has live games left on schedule. The Boston Braves are already “in,” having wrapped up the Na- tional League bunting Sunday. | The World Series is slated to start a week from tomorrow at Braves' Field, Boston. Pennant Chances Everything favors the Indians— so much that Manager Lou Bour-| dreau has settled the fears of Cleveland fans by stating without reservation that the Tribe has it in the bag. Cleveland could lose twice, and New York or Boston still would have to cop five in a rew to win; the pennant. The fly in the oint-| ment is the fact that New York has a pair of games Saturday and Sunday with the Sockers in Bos- ton. Cleveland has two games with the White Sox. Then winds up against the Detroit Tigers Friday, Saturday and Sunday. New York plays three against the A’s before moving into Beston for the final pair. The Red Sox have three with the Senators before meeting the Yankees. Huriers wined Up I Boudreau said Gene Bearden (17-7) would be his mound choice in the White Sox opener, whxle Frank Paplsh (2-8) will toss for TED WILLIAMS NOW ) LEADING BOUDREAU FOR BATTING THTLE CHICAGO, Sept. 28.—#— Bos- ton’s Ted Williams has all but unl-‘ ed up the 1948 American League| batting title—which will be his fourth title, With only five games remaining the lanky Red Sox left fielder has., a' 14-point lead over Lou Boudreau, Cleveland manager-shortstop. Through Sunday’s games, Wil- liams was belting .368, a drop of eight points for the wesk after Fag- ging five hits in 23 trips. Boudreau collected 6-for-19 to slip only one point to .854. If the Beantown slugger main- tains the pace he will be the third Amczrican Leaguer ever to win four or more batting crowns. Immortal, Ty Cobb tcok 12, Harry Heilman' of Detrolt copped four and Wil- liams won in 1941 1942 and 1947. ’ PINEAPP[E BOWL GAME IS ARRANGE FOR NEW YEAR'S DAY CORVALLIS, Ore., Sept. 28. ! —A New Year's Day game between | Oregon State College and the Uni-! versity of Hawaii in the Pineapp: “] Bowl in Homolulu, was announced tod»qx by OSC athletics director, Roy: S.
