TIED WILLIAMS. SEEMS CERTAIN.
 ROOKIE OF YEAR.
Red Sox Keep Lead With Homer in lOth-Yanks
 Win, Giants Lose
By GEORGE KIRKSEY Limited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, May 10. (UP)-Tall Skinny Ted Williams, the San Diego Calif., youngster who hates to wear neckties, tossed his hat into the ring today as one of the strongest candidates for the American leagues '.rookie of the year" title.
 Williams, only 20 and with just two years of professional experience, kept the Red Sox on top of the American league by hitting his fourth homer yesterday to give Bos- ton a 10-8 victory over the St. Louis Browns. Williams wallop came in the 10th inning with the score tied and two mates on base.
 Weighing only 175 pounds, Will Hams has lusty swing and wrist action which give him tremendous power. He is tied with Greenberg, Gehringer, and Foxx for the Amer ican league home run lead, and is fourth in runs batted in, with 16 That kind of hitting has made the Red Sox forget about Ben Chap man, whom they gave up to Cleve- land to make room for Williams. Williams is an eccentric youngster, Down South he wasn't able to catch a foul ball he thought he should have caught-although no one else did-so he threw the ball over the ! stands. Manager Joe Cronin promptly yanked him out of the lineup.
 AS the Red Sox came North, Will Hams kept wearing his collar open at the neck in the hotel dining room. Cronin finally bought him a tie.
 Here, Ted, wear this tie," said Cronin, tossing it to him. You're in the big leagues now. Act like a big leaguer."
 i Williams is taking his boss advice. His punch added to the already potent Red Sox batting order seems the sole hope of giving the Tanks a run for their money.
 The Tanks, who've been having a ! bit of Southpaw trouble, smashed down their most persistent tormen- tor, Lefty Thornton Lee, as they licked the White SoX, 8-6. They slugged him for 16 hits in eight and one-third innings, including a homer by Rookie Joe Gallagher.
 With three regulars-Lombardi, Goodman and Frey--out of action, the Cincinnati Reds slugged out an 8-4 win over the Phillies. Wally Berger hit two homers, driving in four runs, and Frank Mccormick hit one. Lombardi and Goodman were laid up with food poisoning and {, Frey with recurrence of a knee aiiment.
 The St. Louis Cardinals grabbed undisputed possession of the runner up spot to the Reds by overwhelm- ing Brooklyn, 13-1. Curt Davis al- lowed only six hits. Don Gutteridge with two doubles and a triple led the aCrds' 18-hit assault.
 With Stanley Hack and Augie Galan getting four hits each, the Chicago Cubs trampled the New York Giants, 11-7. Kirby Higbie's three-inning relief job, in which he allowed only two hits, gave him the victory. The Cubs rose to a triple tie with the Dodgers and Bees fo1 third place.

.BRITISH-JAP
SITUATION NOW
GROWING WORSE
JAPAN LODGES STRONG PRO-
TEST AGAINST LANDING
OF ENGLISH SAILORS AT
sWAToW. CHINA
Ry Associated Pres.l


TOXIC, Aug. 9.-More friction
in the British-Japanese situation
in the Far-East is reported today
as Japan lodges strong protest
with British diplomats in this
city against the landing of Eng
lish sailors at Swallow, China.
Britain has answered the pro-
test by stating that the landing
was made necessary in order to
protect British nationals on the
scene from violence at the hands
of bands of Chinese renegades
operating against the Japanese
armed forces in the district.
The Japanese army command
in the Tientsin area has accused
England of stalling in connection
with the conferences that were to
be under way on the Tientsin sit
uation. 1t is alleged by the Japs
that Great Britain is waiting to
see what action Japan will take
in the reported alliance action
with Germany and Italy before
continuing the conferences. While
no admission is forthcoming from
Japan that they actually are ar
ranging such alliances, activities
of Japanese diplomats in Rome
and Berlin bear out the assump-
ton that such a move is under
way.
In case of such an alliance,
Great Britain has stated that no
settlement of the Tientsin or any
other Chinese problem with Japan
will be sought.
