GREATEST PENNANT RACE IN BASEBALL HISTORY CLOSES New York, Oct. 1—With New York's two clubs wedring the diamond erowns the second year in succession— the first time in baseball history that one city has held such a monopoly on pennants—the American and National leagues today closed: the, 1922 cam- paigns, among the most keenly fought and nerve-racking in the annals of the ‘game.

Box - offce indicatio pointed to a record-breaking demand for seats and officials 0 both clubs voiced the be- lief that last year's first game at- tendance of 30,203 would be greatly excesded. The Giants and Yankees practiced together this afternoon at the Polo Grounds. Managers McGraw and Hug- gins expressed themselves as highly satisfled with the conditions of their players. ‘The bellef gained ground that the Giant mound staff, the team’s vul- nerable spot, is likely to upset pre- eeries calculations. Huggins was quoted as saying Joe Bush, premier American league twirl- wr, would be his choice for the open- er, while it was indicated McGraw is grooming his southpaw, Artle Nehf, or, while it was indicated McGraw is tor the Initial test. UMPIRES FOR WORLDS SERIES ARE NAMED New York, Oct. 2—W, J. Klem and W. McCormick, for the Natiopal lea- E]ue, and €. B.

The Amekican league championship ‘was clinched vesterday when the Yan- kees, after losing three straight to Cleveland and Boston, rallied to down he Red Sox, New York, however, lost today to Washington, while the Browns, who came down the stretch with a rush after apparently being eliminated in the last series with New York, closed with their third straight victory over Chicago. The results nar- rowed the percentage differences to but six points, New York showing a record of 94 won and sixty lost while the Browns won 93 and lost 61. The Giants, conceded .practically a runaway victory in pre-season calcu- lations, finished with the decisive m: gin of seven games over Cincinnati, which displaced Pittsburgh today. But 4t twas not easy road to triumph Battling first the Cardinals and then the menace of a rejuvenated Pitts- burgh machine, McGraw was forced to call on his utmost in generalship to win. It was not until the last swing of the Glants around the western cir- cuit that they gained a margin which survived all eleventh hour challenges by Pittsburgh. Handicapped earlier in the season by injuries that forced Heine Groh from -the lineup, and a gap in center field - that remained unfilled until the veteran Casey Stengel jumped into the breach, the champions also over- came the collapse of their pitching staff by hard hitting, quick thinking and spectacular defensive work in the final drive. "The defection “qf Phil Douglass, who was banished from the game after offering to quit the team for a sconsideration, and the failure of Nehf and Barnes to maintain wi ning form, were partially offset by the acquisition of Scott and McQuil- lan. Noteworthy this season was the strength shown in both leagues by the western clubs. Outside of the pen- nant winners, all of the first dlvision berths in both circuits were occupied by western outfits, and it was from these rivals that the two champions encountered their stiffest opposition throughout the season. Cincinnati, with a fine pitching staff and a team of young stars, jumped to second place in the National league today by taking a double-header from Pittsburgh. The sei-backs forced the Pirates to a tie for third place with the 8t. Louis Cardinals who defeated Chicago today. The - Chicago Cubs, after figuring in the first division ‘most of the sea- gon droppcd back toward the close to the fifth place. Ty Cobb's aggressive Detroit club landed third place in the American league although by a margin of only one game over Cleveland. The Indians displaced the Chicago White Sox in the select circle by an eleventh hour spurt. - Three eastern clubs occupled the lagt three places in each circuit. Brooklyn Holding sixth position in the National and Washingtcn in the Am- erican: Philadelphia clubs finished seventh, abahdoning to Boston cellar positions which the Athletics have held for sev- en years and the Phillies for three seasons. g EASTERN CONN.

Sisler is organizing a team to tour the New England state, while Horns- by has signed up with Milton Stock, also of the Cardinals, who is organiz- ing a post-season 'aggregation. Johnny Lavan of the Cardinals will tour Japan with another team being organized for that purpose. “WILL BE DELIGHTED S % TO GO”, SAYS JACK DUNN Manager Jack Dunn of the Balti- more’s has received a telegram from the Pacific Coast league, asking him if he would meet the winner of the Pacific Coast championship series on the coast following the series between St. Paul and Baltimore.
