S| American League Flag Race Closest Yet in History; Here _ Are Fads with Rain Figuring By BEN PHLEGAR For the third time in five years the American League pennant race wen't be decided until last day. For the first time in history it may end in a three-way tie come Sunday. Cleveland holds the upper hand. The Indians lead New York and Bostcn by one tull game. Each of the three teams has two games left—Cleveland against Detroit in Cleveland and the Yankees and Red Sox against each other in Bos- ' ton. This is thz way it looks today: Cleveland has twe games to play. Boston and New York are tied for second place, each one game behind and also two games to play. These are the pessibilitics, pro- viding rain doesn't interfere: 1. Cleveland can win the pen- nant by whipping the Tigers twice, regardless of what happens in Boston. 2. Cleveland can win by split-| ting with the Tigers, providing Boston and New York split. 3. Boston or New York can win the pennant if one team sweeps the Boston series while Cleveland loses twice tc Detroit. 4. Boston or New York can tie Cleveland if one team sweeps the Boston series while the Indians split with Detroit. 5. All three teams can finish in would happen if{ a tie. This Boston and New York split Cleveland loses twice. Since all regular season games must be completed by tomorrow and night or go unplayed, rain could have a big hand the winner. If Cleveland is unable to play any further games, it will win the pennaht regardless of the Boston series. And if Cleveland loses two while the Boston series is entirely in determining washed out, New York and Boston | will tie for the pennant with the Indians cne percentage point be-! hind. With so much at stake, however, they will make every possible ffort | to play every game. The chances of a three-way dead- lcck . became stronger yesterday when 5-3. Boston and New York were not scheduled. ‘The only other American League_’ action, the Browns and White Sox, split a twilight-night doublehead- er in Chicago. St. Louis won the first game, 4-0, behind the three- hit pitching of Cliff Fannin. Chi- cago won the second, 3-2 St. Louis took over the second place in the National League by whipping Chicago, 6-4, on Northey’s three-run home run. Breoklyn slipped to third place by losing to the champion Boston Braves, 3-1. Vern Bickford won his 11th game for the Braves. Pittsburgh scored two runs the ninth inning to edge Cincin- nati, 2-1. Philadelphia and New York in| the National League and Washing- ton and Philadelphia in the Ameri- can League were idle. STANDINGS OF THE CLUBS American League Team: W L Pet.
