turn back the Yankees, to 2, in
bitter ten-inning struggle today and
increase their American League lead

With one down in the tenth, Lefty

Goose Goslin, a force-out by Billy
Rogell, Ray Hayworths double and
an intentional pass to Marvin Owen.
Manager Cochrane sent himself in to
bat for Pitcher AL Crowder, and with

ball cleanly, looked toward home

A close victory in the 300-meter

swimming supremacy.
The strategy of Coach Robert Kip
huth Of Yale in not entering Jack
Kasley of the University Of Michigan
In the 200-meter breast stroke, and
thus keeping him fresh for the med
ley relay, was chiefly responsible for
the Americans lone victory.

LEVELAND, August 17.-In a
1 wholesale denial Of new ru-
~ mors concerning the genera
management of the Indians
in 1886, President Alva Bradley today
not only spiked the report that Wal
ter johnson will succeed Billy Evans
in this capacity but strongly limited
that Babe Ruth does not figure in
Cleveland's plan for next year.
In denying that johnson will take
over Evans position as general man
ager of the Cleveland club, Bradley
intimated that there was no assur-
ance of Walters ever being connected
with the Indians in any capacity.
At the present time. Johnson, re-
Gently deposed as manager, is On the

Whether johnson will be connect
ed with the Cleveland club in any
way next season, I am not prepared to
say now," said Bradley. Frankly, I
don't know If johnson would want
to accept a job with U.s."
will any one succeed Evans?" was
a question asked Bradley.
II am not prepared to answer that
question now, either" answered the
Cleveland owner. Evans contract
expires on November /. I do not in
tend to discuss his status until, say,
about October. That is the proper
time.
"As for johnson, I have no :n-
mediate plans for him. Walter Is one
of the finest men have ever known
and our relationship here in Cleve-
land was to me a source of genuine
pleasure. have always admired and
respected Walter and I was sorry
when he resigned and regretted the
conditions.
when Johnson left my club I told
him to forget about managing ball
teams. don't think he Is cut out
for the Job, chiefly because he has
been such a great player himself.
Evening star., 1935-08-18

During my few years as a ball
club owner I have discovered that
base ball players are jealous. That is,
many of them are. When Cleveland
plays in New York, or in Boston, or
in most all cities. for instance, the
fans ask: Where is Walter Johnson?
7 want 10 see Johnson
This creates jealousy among the
players on Johnson's team, especially
among the older players who have
regulations Of their own. They don't
like to see manager become the
object of all eyes and attention.
Look over the list of famous play
ers who have been unsuccessful man
ayers. ry Cobb had his troubles.

all for hin and that the other half
