IKSW '•/ • x - i s v ' -'A JENNINGS WANTS THREE MORE GAMES TO FINISH AT THE TOP (By PAUL H. BRUSKE.) DETROIT. Mich—Firm in the belief that Itis team needs to win hut three of ita remaining five games In order to make sure of the Arm r ican league pennant, Hughey Jennings sent his champion Tigers to the field today In the opening game rif the final home scries of the year with the St. Ixtuls Browns as opponents. Jennings figures that Chica go will put Cleveland out of It and then believes that Ills team will keep up Its clip of all season against the White Sox In the wind-up at Chicago. The men of Fielder Jones have been comparatively easy for the Tigers In their Inter-club series this year. The fad that Detroit has a four-point lead at present, Jennings reasons, Is alone enough to make them the logical favorites, as the team has been playing grand ball for the past two weeks. Jennings plans to use Summers and Willett against the Browns, with Killian, Donovan and Mullin for use in Chicago. If the western teams of the American league finish their respective schedules strictly according to form, playing off all their games that still remain possible and with results which Ihe prior games of the r» spectlve inter-club scries point out as logical, the Detroit Tigers will again win the league pennant, with Cleveland a close second, Chicago third, and St. Louis fourth. Giants Must Win Them All To Finish in First Place NEW YORK.— Interest In the stirring fight for the National league baseball championship Is more acute than ever today, following the de velopments of yesterday which reduced New York's lead to two points over Chicago and Pittsburg. The Giants have five more games to play, two with Philadelphia and three with Boston, and must win them all, unless Pittsburg and Chicago meet with unexpected reverses, to win the peunant. Chicago and Pittsburg pla.v double-headers today, while thi- Giants play a single game with Philadelphia. If the ( libs and Pirates win both their games and the Giants score also, the three will he tied for first place, allhough the Giants will he loss than half a point behind on strict percentage figures, Chicago has three games to play, two with Cincinnati today and one with Pittsburg on Sunday at Chicago. If the Cubs win all three New York inn lose one of their remaining five and still tie with Chi cago. Pittsburg has four games to play, three with St. Louis and one with Chicago. If the pirates win all four, the Giants must win all five to hold their place at the lop. This leaves the protested game between New York and Chicago out of consideration. » _ ___ .
