 "DiZ will never admit it,' Mrs Dean told the United Press, but the reason he didn't got to De- troit for the exhibition game Mon- day was that he was heart-broken over losing that double header on Sunday"
 Took the Rap
 For failure to make the Detroit trip, Dizzy was fined $100 and brother Goofy, who usually fol- lows Dizzys lead, was fined $50. They then were suspended after hot clubhouse argument with Manager Frankie Frfsch. Then they struck" and are now off the payroll.
 "Diz was so disgusted over los ing that double header with Chi cago," Mrs Dean continued, that he simply didn't want to see any one. He wouldn't even have soda with me and dear friend after the game.
 "Diz hates to lose a game. It hurts his pride. If he had won, he could have gone to Detroit a hero; but losing, he felt he would be heel, and simply didn't want to go.
 No Rule Breaker
 "It was rather expensive, $100 for a days vacation, but the way I feel, if he wanted the vacation, he should accept the fine and go on back to the club. He wasn't trying to Haunt any rules of the club: he was just heart broken.
 When Paul lost the first game of that double header-with such big crowd out there (36,073)-- it was the same to Dig as though he had lost the game. Then he lost and he was disgusted, that's all."
 Perhaps her most convincing reason why Dizzy and Paul will be back on the job, and soon. was expressed when she observed:

DETROIT FINALLY
 DROPS GAME IN
 FIFTEENTH START
Yankees Land on POten= tial Champions For
 8=2 Verdict
By THEON WRIGHT Tnited Press Staff COFreSDOndent)

A
 New York, Aug. 16- (UP)- Detroit's marathon winning streak fourteen games long-was at an end today, and source or great mental discomfort has been lifted from the minds of the New York Yankees.
 The Yankees themselves super vised the operation, breaking off tho long chain which began on the last day of July, when Tommy Bridges closed out double header with Cleveland, Az. It was MT Bridges, oddly enough, who was victimized in yesterdays ceremon- ies.
 Consolation. The accomplishment was hailed with mingled joy and sorrow by the 25,000 Yankee supporters who | clustered in the stadium. The victory was bit late. Although it pared down Detroit's lead a full game, it still leaves the Yankees tagging by five and a half games, which is nothing for the New Workers to cheer about at this stage of the race.
 Detroit looked good even in de- feat. In the sixth, when the Tigers began to make motions with their bats at Johnny Broaca, young Yale righthander who did the days bowling for New York, the cus- toners could be seen moving to the edge of their seats. Detroit got two runs for itself in the sixth in ming uprising, and 1t began to look like one of those things, but young Johnny frightened.
 As it turned out, Frank Croset- ti's blazing home run into the left field benches in the second, send ing Lazzeri over the rubber ahead of him, gave the Tanks enough runs to win. But so deep is the respect instilled by MT Cochrane's Tigers that nobody was sure until it was over, S-2.
 Red Sox Advance.
 Boston continued it's steady climb, Rube Walberg turning back the St Louis Browns again to place the Red Sox within game of third place. He gave only five hits and won, 6-2.
 The Athletics won twice over Chicago, booming along on Jimmy FoxX's thirty-seventh home run with two aboard in the first which won, "A. Bill Dietrich doled out seven hits in the nightcap to win, 2-1, bib Williams scoring both runs on a homer in the first and wild throw in the sixth.
 Cleveland and Washington were washed out.
 One Apiece.
 The leading New York Giants split double header with the Pirates, winning the first 5-4 and dropping the second 4-3. Manager Bill Terry smacked home the Win ner with a four-ply wallop in the fourth that won the opener. Arky Vaughn's homer and Gus Suhr's single, scoring Lindstrom, kept the Pirates ahead in the late game. Brooklyn split with Cincinnati, losing the first 7-5 and winning the second game 7-4.' Ralph Boyle broke up the night cap, doubling Johnny Babich home to end q four-all tie.
 The Chicago Cubs, rained out with Boston, stayed four games behind the leader. St Louis and Philadelphia were also rained out,

AUTO RACING

With an entry from Old Sol promised for Sunday, a driver whose services are indispensable in auto racing. the New England point championship 40 lap event will be decided at Sage park speedway. Windsor, Sunday afternoon.
 If you can go by the keen com petition in the qualifying heats. the 40 lap sweepstakes will be one of the most spectacular races seen hereabouts in many moons.
 Dick Dunn informed the writer today that none of the drivers who will race Sunday will be require, to go through the gruelling time trials again. There will be an add cd 10 lap consolation which makes two cancellations for the drivers who were not successful in being placed in the qualifying heats. One driver from each consolation will be entitled to compete in the 40 lap final.
 Ambitious
 George Rice of Milford, Conn.,, who won the first qualifying heat last Sunday in such thrilling style is of the opinion that he will beat last Sundays time. He claims that though the track being new, he had not time to try it out thor oughly but he was high in his praise of this track. He said: "The Sage park track is the best half mile track in this section. In fact
