Giants Loom Strong While Yankees Weaken
In New York a major shift in World Series odds favors the Giants as their pitching staff dominates. Six Giants hurlers won seven games last week, allowing just over a run per game, while bats stay hot. Meanwhile the Yankees slumped as Joe Bush exited against the Red Sox, who snapped a six game skid and stayed ahead of Washington. Cleveland closed to four and a half games behind, after fending off Detroit 7 to 5. Sisler and Pat Collins were suspended following a St. Louis bottle incident, affecting the Browns’ 6 4 loss to Chicago.
