The third place races, however, are close In both leagues. Cleve land holds third In the American eague by only half a game over the Boston Red Sox. St. Louis has a game edge on Philadelphia in the (National. To an individual player It is worth about twice as much to be a member of a third place finisher Instead of with a fourth place club. The players on the first four clubs share In World Series' receipts. Except for the third place battle, at least six games separate the clubs In their present positions in the National League.

NEW YORK ( In case you have not been following the so called flag races with too great interest lately, what with a report by an Indiana professor and other distractions, a young right-handed pitcher named Jim McDonald has just notched his eighth victory for the New York Yankees, giving him a 5-1 record since July 4. . This, would be nothing to get agitated about ordinarily, Yankee pitchers being what they are, but with the World Series just beyond the horizon there seems reason to suspect that the staff fairy who looks out for the champions' inter ests and, among his other duties, sees to it that they never make a bad deal has been at It again.
