indians Close In on Yankees
CLEVELAND
SCORES 5 T03
WIN OVER RIVALS

NEW YORK, July 20 CUP)@The
Yankees have been saying all sea-
son that the Cleveland Indians were
a fold up club" But they haven't
been able to prove it.
In IL games between the pennant
rivals the Indians have won seven;
the Yanks four.
The way the Indians beat the
Yanks yesterday behind the pitch
ing of Mel Harder indicated that
Witt has kept his team from getting
panicky over losing the lead With
Harder pitching a six hitter the
Indians conquered the Yanks, 5-3,
and trimmed their lead to half a
game. The defeat snapped the
Yanks seven game winning streak
and marked their first loss in II
games at home.
Rick Ferrell's double in the 10th
inning scored Buddy Myer with the
run by which Washington Defeated
Detroit, 4-3.
Pittsburgh held its half game lead
in the National league by banking
the Phillies, 80, behind the five
hit pitching of Ed Brandt.
The New York Giants put on a
ninth inning rally to score three
runs and nose out the st. Louis
Cardinals, 7-6. Hank Lieber drove
in five runs, getting a homer in the
eighth and then winning the game
with a ninth inning single.
The Cincinnati Reds broke a four
game losing streak by scoring a dou-
BILE victory over the Boston Bees
81, and 7-2, and climbed back into
third place one percentage point
ahead of the Cubs.
Vito Tamulis topped the Cubs
seven game winning squirt as Brook
lyn downed them, 8-3.

BY HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, July 20. CUP)-lt
was as hot as the inside of a bak-
ed potato in the Cleveland dressing
room in Yankee stadium.
Hot showers hissed and steamed.
Hot players pulled off hot flannels.
the cloying aroma of hot liniment
hung heavy in the air.
Everyone seemed to have but a
single thought, and that was to get
out Of this firelesS cooker of a
room, deep in the stone and steel
of Yankee stadium. Everyone, that
is, except one man. He sat on the
bench in front Of his locker and to
Judge by the expression On his face
he was as comfortable and content
ed as though he were seated in a
moonlit, breeze swept garden. The
smell of the liniment seemed as
sweet to his nOstrilS as though 1t
were altar Of rose. The slap of the
towels on tired wet bodies might
have been soft, sweet music drifting
across a lake.
The man was Oscar Witt, manager
of the Cleveland Indians. His team
had just come in off the field after
licking the Yankees in the first
game of a series that may come
close to deciding the American
league race. The victory lifted the
Indians to within half a game OF
the leading Yankees, and Mr.. Witt
were a smile 50 big all it needed
was a couple of cane seats to pass
for canoe in any sporting goods
window.
Just like I've been saying all
along, just like I've been saying
all along" he said as he thumped
my third and fifth vertebrae out
of place. "Yessir, those Yankees
can be licked by a team that has

courage and brains. If you go out
your head off. If you go out there
and feed 'em nothing but fast balls
they'll butcher you. But if you'll
lust go out there and look 'em
square in the eye, and than play
smart, you can win. Boy, was that
a good one to take today"
Knowing that one game was no
better than another in the per-
centage table, 1 inquired as to why
he was SO pleased.
IF you had been managing this
club for the past month you'd
know" he sighed. do you know
that this is the first easy game this
club has played in a month? Ever
since June II we've had nothing
but those soul tearers that were
won and lost in the eighth and
ninth innings.
I'm telling you We lost some
that were SO tough to lose that
was afraid to 60 to my hotel room
alone. Honest, / was afraid l would
jump out the window
1t would have been a very un-
fortunate loss for Cleveland had Mr.
Witt leaped in one of those moments
of despair, because he has done
magnificent job of managing the
Indians. A year ago at this time
the Indians. with practically the
same lineup, were in fifth place,
10 games behind their present place.
The morale Of the team, under the
managerShip Of Steve ONeill, was
lower than a mole on a mole's chin.
Cliques abounded, and there was
little or no teamwork. The work
of Bob Feller, the ace of the team,
was being impaired by the fact that
he was not worked in his regular
turn but was handled like freak,

Sacramento was losing.
The Angels scored first in the

run squirt in the seventh which
Sewed up the game.
Sa Francisco responded to the
seventh inning stretch by coming
from behind to beat Sacramento,
80. Sacramento was leading 20
when the home team came to bat
in the last of the seventh and put

All Mississippi and the travelling public can De glad the
Legislature did not enact the bill setting the speed law at
SO miles per hour for cars and 80 miles per hour for trucks.
The law enacted was a reasonable and prudent rate for
automobiles and 40 miles per hour for trucks.
We all know that speed laws on highways are made only
to be broken. Otherwise law-abidiing citizens lose all sense
Of responsibility when under a steering wheel.
Officers can come a whole lot nearer solving the traffic
problems on a highway enforcing a reasonable or prudent
law than they can any limit imposed law.

John Temple Graves writing in the Birmingham Age
Herald (Ala) says:
"In the compound OF problems and promises in
which the South finds itself, you can pick this state for one
virtue or shortcoming and that one for another. But the
state which is trying hardest, it seems to us, the one which
is applying more OF will and imagination to the solution OF
its problems and realization OF its promises-is Mississippi
Not all of us may agree upon the soundness OF all the things
Mississippi is doing, but we must agree in applause for the
states great determination to get something accomplished
Which is only echoing our own oft-expressed thoughts
in these columns before.
We are doing SOMETHING anyway. and we always be-
lieved it was better to be doing something, even II we were
doing it wrong, than not to be trying at all
