Reading Two Games Ahead of Washington with Two Games Left to Play

READING, PA. August 23, 1914 - The Reading Reds have cut it close. Four games ahead going into the month, they started off strong. But in a three game series with the Cleveland Maroons, they lost all three, cutting their lead to just one.

Washington couldn't take advantage of Reading's losses by losing two of three to the Reds themselves.

With two games left, Washington needs to win both and Reading needs to lose both to force a tie. Washington will face off against Pittsburgh at Keystone Park, and Reading will face off against the Gothams at the Bronx Oval Grounds.
