- The race for final" positions in
. the major league standings ap
pear to be all over In both circuits
except 4o find out who's going to
finish third.
Although there are still five
weeks to nlav it's mostly Just a
question of waiting for the World
. Series for Brooklyn and the New
York Yankees and for next year.
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. Only seven
games divide the last place St
Louis Browns from the sixth place

Yanks f.1av Have Answer in Jim McDonald
"; Br GAYLE TALBOT , .
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.
To be specific, the Bombers had
appeared to be threatened with a
shortage of good righthanded pitch
ing to use against Brooklyn's array i
of righthanded hitters in the
series games to be played at Eo
bets Field, where the fences are
short. Manager Casey Stengel, it
was agreed, would hesitate a long
time before starting either of his
portside aces, Wbitey Ford or Ed
die Lopat, In the National League
park. -, ' r :
That would have made it neces
sary, the long - range experts lore-
saw, 'for Case to hold out his two
veteran righthanders,' Allie. Rey
nolds and Vic Raschi, at the start
of the series and depend upon tnem
to carry the burden in the third,
fou.rth and fifth games scheduled
at Ebbets Field. As Reynolds and
Raschi are, respectively, 35 and
34 years old, and Reynolds has
not been himself lately, this looked
like a fair-ized chink in the
Yankee armor., 1 .... .
And then, of course, along came
iLfenniMM It already . is being
freely predicted that 'he -will play
an important role in the series,
nerbans even a major one. His al
most perfect control and his sharp
sinker ball, wnicn is- exirenieijr
difficult to knock over the infield,
are seen as making him a natural
against the Dodgers in their band
box arena., .,'
'If could, happen only to the
Yanks. This is the same Jim Mc

his first with the champions, and
