ON THE SIDE LINES st ‘While the Nationals have a nominal claim to the top of the second divi- ston, it doesn't bear close analysis. for the Indians are rightful tenants of the berth—by a fraction of & point. St. Louls fans have been complain- ing bitterly all season of the failure of Jacobson to hit, his average being 100 points under the mark he amassed last season. But Bill could whiff every time up and be an asset to the Browns if he performed daily as he did against the Nationals on the Sahbath. Jake hoofed it all over tnat garden, snaring evervthing in sight. His catch of Judge's stout bid for an extra base biff in the third saved Davis a parcel of embarrassment, for both Bush and Peck were headed for the counting station.

Should St. Louis defeat the world champions. for the seventh consecu- tive time of the season, it wduld pos- sess a percentage of .609, while the Giants would have .613.
