Upon Outcome of 5

NEW YORK. Aug. 50 Th m..
ical chimes of the bankers concert!
in a sometimes known as the cash
register, will begin to tinkle in
the Bosky umbrage of Coogan's
Bluff Friday morning and by 1
o'ctock in the afternoon New York
will- resound again .with the full
instrumental and vocal hubub of a
big time at the hallyard.
This will be first time since the
world series of last fall that re
cital of this strident opera has
crossed the air which New York
uses to fill tires, to htox saxa
Phones and to make those very val
uable bubble, which convert hard
cider Into champagne worth 20
4uart.
The Pittsburgh Pirates will be
present but no gloating in the fit
two ball games of a five game ser-'
ies which will decide whether or
not something or other is or isn't.;
Nobody seems certain as to whether
1.1. . ..... i
..... oi nve nail games, to be
Played in tw double-headers, one
Friday and another Saturday and
uue-act episode Sunday, will de
cide! ....
Tn the very unlikely event that
the Giants should win all five
gams, they would quit the series
leading the league by two lengths.
But, If they win three and lose the
other two they will he two games
behind or only one game nearer
the 'front than ihoy are now. And
if the Giants win four and lose one
they will virtually he ,e,i bllt
mathematically untied for the per
cenrage readlnfc will run like this:
Pittsburgh, won 68; lost 48, per
centage .580.
New York won 71. lost 51, per
centage .582.
Thus) it begins to .i..
the Giants must win the entire ser
ies In order to take rirst place af
ter' which thev mleht ...
fumble away four or five game, to
the Beds and Cardinals and there
by lose their lease on the top of
league. These leases, like a
tight manager', word of honor are
subject m cancellation without I
nonce.
So the- impending business at the
Polo Grounds mav mil ,ieiH ...i....u
