iho principal worry of the fol-
lovers oi t:ie Philadelphia Athletics1
Is whether they can find places

champion of the senior circuit in
the world's series.
The Athletics have eliminated all
out two nveis irom even a mathe -
matlcal chance of taking the Ameri-
c-.tn league ling. Washington and
new Torn ere leu witn only hopes
of overtaking the world's champions.

game in succession, defeating the
Chicago White Sox. fl to 1. Phila
delphia also won a gome and the
Indians were left 18 games behind
and with only 17 to play for each
team.
Although they lost, their eighth
straight game, the Boston Bed Sox
again gave some trouble to the
league leading ithletlcs. In a mound
- duel between Jack Russell and Oeorge
- EarnBhaw, they were only one run
behind up to the eighth Inning when
the A's scored three runs.
Washington gained nothing by
slamming the Yankees around for
IS hits to defeat them for the 17th
