MAYBE; BUT THEY WILL NEED SUPER-BASEBALL AND MUCH LUCK What are the chances of the Reds? This is the problem confronting the baseball world as the clubs are rounding the turn for the final drive on the stretch, wllli the Giants some eight games out in front. Let us look into the chances of Matty's outfit to play for the big money this October. Eight games at this point Is a considerable margin, especially when the clubs referred to am playing about the same kind of baseball. It means that the club eight games behind, must not only win every time the other club wins, but that it must play enough better ball to win eight games while the oilier club is losing eight. The Giants have been playing .667 ball this season.

So far there has been nothing to Indicate they will drop. If the Giants continue playing .667 ball the Reds face the hopeless task of playing I ball to catch them. But there are two or three NATIONAL LEAOCR Standing of ilia ClnDa. Won. Lost PeL New York 68 30 .659 St.

Reb Russell's kinky, crookeil left arm has saved the Pants Rowland bunch for the time being. What will happen next Is entirely up to Joe Benz, Red Faber or Jim Scott. Starting tomorrow, the White Sox should run into weak propositions In the Athletics and Senators. The Red Sox at the same time will be entertaining Cleveland and Detroit. Both of these clubs have been tough nuts for the world's champions this year.

That of course Is a question only the games can decide. Then In the matter of doubleheaders. Can the Giant pltebwi stand a strain of a long string of double bills? The New York pitching s.taff Is the notoriously weak spot on the club. Schupp is scarcely more than a one-day-a-week pitcher. Whether he can keep up his hielt winning percentage If called upon to work often is a question.

Anderson, perhaps, can work oftener than any other pitcher oa the Giants' staff, with the possible exception of Jeff Teareaii. Perritt, Sallee and Benton cau scarcely he called Iron men. The strain of these double-headers may work against McGraw getting all he should from his pitchers. New York hes the hardest schedule of the two for the next few weeks. McGraw mur.t meet the Reds, the Cardinals and the Cubs, all dangerous clubs in addition to the Pirates.

The Reds have to meet the Giants and Phillies of the stronger clubs and Boston and Brooklyn.
