McCosky Leader Of
 American Eaters

New York, July 20-UP)-Harry Danning, New York Giant catcher, widened his lead in the National league batting race while Billy Mo- Cosky, outfielder for the Detroit Tigers climbed from fifth to first place in the American league, aver ages released today and including games Thursday revealed.
 Danning added four points to his average bringing it to BAT while the rest of the top hitters fell off. Dixie Walker of Brooklyn, who was sec- ond last week, dropped to fourth as Merrill May of the Phillies climbed to second with an average of 1928.
 In the American league, the lead CTS were still punched with only three percentage points dividing the first four men. McCosky was on top with .357 and Taft Wright, Chicago was second with 1856. A familiar name-Joe DlMaggio of the Yankees finally appeared in the first ten Joe, batting champion last year moved up to the .327 group, 30 points off the pace.
 Buck Newsom of the Detroit Ti- gers continued to lead the American league pitchers with l3 wins and one defeat, and that Mark won't be i'm proved on by him for some weeks because he is out with a broken thumb. Freddie Fitzsimmons oi Brooklyn who won his 200th major league game last week, leads the National league fingers with eight victories and one defeat.

Boston, July 2O-CUP)-With sec- ond place at stake, the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians open a three-game series here today.
 Lefty Bob Grove, seeking his sixth win against two defeats, opposes Mel Harder, veteran Indian right handler.
 The Red Sox dropped two games behind the leading Detroit club as result of the Tigers 40 win in a series finale here yesterday. Cleve- land failed to increase its half-game second place margin over Boston by losing to New York.
 Tommy Bridges, curve-ball hurler, limited the Red Sox to six singles and a double. The win gave the Tigers an even split in the four games.
 While Bridges was moving down the Sox siege guns, Rudy York was aiding the Detroit cause with a homer and a single. York's 18th home run came in the third with one aboard. The Tigers reached Denny Galehouse for six hits in the five innings he worked. Reliefer Alex Mustaikis held the Tigers to one safety in the last four innings.
 A seven-run rally gave the Bos- ton Bees an 8-7 victory over the Reds at incinnati The Bees only but combined four of them with two made eight hits to IA for the Reds errors and two passes for the seven- run splurge.

New York, July 20. (UP)-1t the official statistlcians are not up to some prank, and the figures they are giving out are on the square, then the most surprising thing about the current American league race is that the Yankees are as close to the leaders as they are.
 The standing of the clubs as Of breakfast time this morning have the Tanks in fourth place, and only { games from the top. That isn't bad spot to be in, what with 69 more games to go. But how did they man. age to get so close? What did they use to win? And why haven't the Clevelands, the Detroits and the BostonS pulled so far away that even the StouteSt sort of stretch run by the world champions wouldn't be enough to catch them?
 These are the obvious questions after rundown of the figures showing the American league lead- CTS in the various phases of the game. Take the individual batting, for example. The list of leading hitters used to read like a roll call of the Yankee roster. But Joe Dl- Maggie is the only New York regu- lar hitting above the 300 mark. And he only recently managed to stag ger above the mark that separates good hitterS from poor ones.
 Then there is the little matter of runs scored.
 The Tanks don't have a man among the leaders, anymore than they do in the most hits, doubles, triples, or stolen bases departments. All of these departments are doml- mated by players from Detroit, BoS- ton and Cleveland.
 Moreover, there isn't Yankee pitcher with record that entities him to a place among the top twirlers of the league.
 Still, as the standings show, the Yankees are only pitch and putt from the league lead. What is going to happen when the Yankees finally start playing the baseball they are capable of? And it stands to req son that this day isn't far off, be- cause hitters like Rolfe and Keller and Selkirk and Heinrich aren't go- ing to stay in season-long slump, anymore than pitchers like Ruffing and Pearson and Russo and Donald are going to keep losing the close ones, and keep being beaten by pitchers with little more than wind ups and willing spirit.
 Once on top, the Yankees will be tough customers to dislodge They have the balance for a tough pull down the stretch, and the others haven't. The Red Sox never have had the kind of pitching it takes for a long haul, and Detroit is in a sorry way since Buck Newsom'S thumb lost a decision to thrown ball As the Cleveland-well. the spirit isn't there. If the Indians were rebellious early in the season, when the pressure wasn't on, how can they be expected to present a solid, winning front, when the going gets tough and the heat goes on? They'll probably wind-up in free for-all, with the players banging Manager Oscar Witt over the head

BIMELECH EVEN MONEY TODAY
 FOR BIG RACE
GallahadiOn and Dit Are Chief Rivals at Arling=
 ton Meet
BY JACK GUENTHER Limited Press Racing EditOr)


 Chicago, July 20. - (UP) Bimelech goes into action again today in the twelfth running of the rich Arlington classic and this time he was shooting for a $37,000 purse, the 1940 three year-old championship and seventh place among the great money win ners of all time.
 That was a big order for young horse but some 5O,000 ChicagoanS were so certain the Bradley bullet could fill it that he was even money on the Morning Line. Try to pick better bet with the track lightn- ing fast and the skies sparkling blue as they were today.
 Bimelech went out with an old Jockey friend, Fred A. Smith, on his back. He opposed the fastest five thoroughbreds who could be found to go against him over the mile and a quarter route of the big gest and most facolls horse race held annually in the middle west. He carried 126 pounds, the same load he has toted all year as he faced this field:
 Milky Way Farms Gallahadion, who whipped him in the Kentucky Derby and who was the chief threat again today. The son of Sir Galla- had III also carried 126 and was scheduled for the fourth post posi- tion with Carol Bierman up. The odds on him were 2-1.
 Arnold Hangers Dit, winner of the Wood Memorial and third across tfie finish line last derby day. The eastener had three-pound con- cession at 123 and drew the fifth stall in tn electric gate with Leon at the reins. Odds: 5-1.
 Millsdale stables Andy K, the new-he- will w-he-won't horse of the 1940 season. Lightly regarded because sometimes he runs in and sometimes he hurdles the fence, Andy K was 81 with J. Richards and 123 pounds up in the number three stall.
 The others, Dixiana Farms Siroc- co and A. c. Ernst's Alhalon, were outsiders. The former was assigned 121 pounds, George Woolf and post No. 2 with his odds ranging around 10-1. Alhalon, who never has won stake, was a doubtful starter. He was the lightweight at 118 on the outside and was handled by w.. Garner.
 To the fans, the classic shaped up as a two-hores event between Bimelech and Gallahadion, and much of the latter's backing came from the wise ones who remembered that such horses as Johnstown, Twenty Grand, Top Flight, Discov- cry and Head Play had been de- feated in the same race in the past 10 years.
 To Bimelech, already winner of the Preakness, Derby Trial, Blue Grass and Belmont stakes, a tri- umph meant an undisputed right to the divisional title and an earn- ings record of $279,130 = mark only six other thoroughbreds ever have attained. But a Gallahadion victory meant that, like Challedon and Johnstown a year ago, the score would be even at two and two and

Armstrong And Jenkins Meet
 Again Sept. 27

New York July 20--(UP)-Only the formality of approval by the New York Boxing Commission, head ed by Gen. John J. Phelan, re- mained today for return, non-title 12-round bout between Lightweight champion Lew Jenkins and Welter- weight champion Henry Armstrong to be scheduled for Madison Square Garden, Sept. 27. Armstrong knock ed out Jenkins in the sixth round of their fight Wednesday night at the Polo Grounds.
 It was made known that the com- mission distinctly disapproves of champion fighting champion and only gave permission for last We'd nesday's match in return for asslr- ances that both fighters would de- fend their respective titles in New York state.
 Before the return match was an- nounced both Armstrong and Jen- kins posted forfeits of $2,000 and $500 respectively and gave written assurances that they would defend their titles in this state within the next four months.

BULLDOGS OPPOSE
 NATIONALS TODAY

A Bulldog baseball team, riding high after their two straight victories of one hitters in the City Recreation baseball league, swings into action again at Washington park this afternoon, opposing the Nationals of the Fulton park Senior loop.
 Showing four straight wins, the Nationals have compiled for them selves quite a record in the Senior loop. Kiely, who has managed to pitch creditable ball for the Nationals will quite likely get the pitching as- signment from Manager Bill Byrne.
 Although the mound work of Johnny Reardon has been superb for the south enders in. the Rec loop, Reardon will no twirl this afternoon due to the important tussle with Hotel Elton tomorrow afternoon. h. stead, Jackie Travers, the hard-hit- ting slugger, will probably receive the assignment to check the hard hitting Nationals.
 Lineups for both teams:
