It's as evident as the headlines in
-FOUR newspaper that Bobby Feller
can't pitch the Cleveland Indians
into the American League cham
pionship singlehanded-or even with
two hands.
The famous fireballer stands out
as the best hurler In baseball, with
10 victories already in the bag, but
the Indians are In second place just
the same, and unless they can figure
out something else they may stay
there.
Cleveland had chance to take
over the lead yesterday. The De-
troit Tigers were idle and the tribe
was down for a double-header with
the seventh-place st. Louis Brown.
9 Loses Three-Hit Game.
Feller took care Of winning the
first game, IA, pitching shutout
ball for five innings until his team
mates got him working margin.
Then came the nightcap and even
with Johnny Humphries pitching
three-hit ball the Tribe couldn't
capture the crucial game. Elden
Auker Of the Browns gave up eight
hits, but he kept them scattered and
singled home one Of the runs that
won the game, 2-1.

Owners Still Of Mind
To Limit Arc Tits,
Thinks Horridge
BY TOM SILER,
AsSociated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Night base
ball, with neat assist from a tight
pennant race, is erasing rapidly the
red ink from the books of American
League clubs.
Even the st. Louis Browns, worst
drawing club in the circuit, face a
fine chance of breaking even this
season for the first time in recent
years, mainly because the team has
IA games under lights.
When permission was granted the
Browns to play IA night games
instead Of the usual seven, the pre-
diction was made on all sides that
day baseball was coomed eventually.
But President William Harridge of
the American League says club
officials have not changed their at.
titude toward the night game.
Night Games Average $4,000.
"As far as I can TELL" says Har-
ridge, "our owners haven't changed
their minds and T think If a vote
were taken today on the matter. we
still would favor only seven night
games per team. We gave st. Louis
permission to play IA because they
haven't had good year at the gate
in several seasons and to help In
meeting the expenses Of Installing
the lighting system.
"Of course. the Browns will have
to obtain permission all over again
to Dlav Ia next Seasnnn
American League teams have
averaged $4,000 spectators In Is
night games this season, indicating
that close to 650,000 fans will see
the IS night games OF the current
campaign. The increase in night
baseball has done its part to boost
the leagues attendance, which is
up a half million over this date
in 1899.
Griff Likely to Go for It.
That there will be more night
games next season than this year
Is certainty. Detroit already has
announced it will install lights and
Washington's Clark Grifith is
likely customer, too.
Tom Yawkey. Red Sox owner, is
dead set against the lights, but so
were Detroit and Washington few
years ago. The attitude Of the
Yankees is not known, but this will
be clarified when the new manage
ment takes over in the fall.
Thus the chances are that at least
six and possibly seven clubs will
have lights when the 1941 season
opens.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 9.-Be-
cause of the presence of a pair of
exceptionally fine rookie centers in
camp the Redskins today were in
clined to minimize the prospective
loss Of the veteran Micky Parks, but
the possible elimination from their
plans of Bob Fisher, burly rookie
lineman from the University Of
Southern California whom they can
i'll afford to lose, was something
else.
On what they have shown thus
far, both Bob Titchenal, the strap
ping recruit from San Josa State,
and Steve Andrako, Ohio State cap
tain last year, could give the Skins
all the center protection they need,
with the other veteran. Vic Carroll,
as the No. snapper-back.
But Fisher is one Of the only two
new guards In camp with chance
of making the grade and the Red
skins need all the guards and
tackles they can get. For If the
Indians are vulnerable anywhere,
1t Is in those two positions.
Although nothing definite will be
known for a few days. Parks was
doing little more than hobbling
about with a detached cartilage in
his knee today, while the 225-pound
Fisher was fiat on his back with a
case of appendicitis. Parks sud-
denly drew up lame in yesterdays
morning workout, complaining of the
leg which was hurt in the Red
skins final home game last year
against the Detroit Lions. After
an examination by DR.. Richard
Flaherty, brother of the Redskin
coach, he was told an operation
should be performed, but that there
was a $3.50 chance that he could
play through the season without
one. DR.. Flaherty prescribed grad
ual exercise until the soreness is
gone in an effort to forestall an
operation, which would ruin all
chance of Parks playing this year.

In Dodger Deal, I,

BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer

NEY YORK, Aug. Elf and when
Mike Jacobs buys the Brooklyn
Baseball Dodgers-and Mike says
it's more when" than 'if" right
now-the only syndicate" involved
will be Michael Strauss Jacobs
himself.
Laughing at the talk that he's
only one of group in the deal,
Uncle Mike" explained carefully
today that up to now it has been
strictly lone wolf" proposition.
why should take lot Of other
men In the thing?" he pointed out.
"The bank brooklyn Trust Co.,
which controls 81 per cent Of the
Dodger stock came to me as an
individual and started the negotia-
tions. We've reached the stage now
where we're going to get down to
talking price.

IF it appears good thing from
business standpoint, I'd be pretty
silly to cut a lot Of other guys in.
Sure, I may have to have help In
the financing, but I know where to
get the dough without getting
tangled up with lot OF partners"
Mike can't see how any hitch can
come into the sale now. He doesn't
think any of the other club owners
will stand in his way. The trust
company and the other stockholders
are to sit down to a meeting today
to iron out details and after that
the fight promoter figures its just
a breeze.
Incidentally. Mike has no idea OF
giving up fight promoting just be-
cause he may own big league ball
club.
Il get too much of a kick out Of
putting on fights and maneuvering
around" he said. Why should ]
quit?
Doesn't Need to Know Game.
Some guys are saying I don't
know anything about baseball.
Well, I wasn't a boxer, either, be-
fore I started promoting fights. I
thought every ball club had some
men in the Office who didn't own
it, but who handled the baseball end
of it. After all, fellows like Ed
Barrow and Larry MacPhail don't
own the Yanks and Dodgers, do
they? But they run those clubs
pretty good"
The negotiations for the Dodgers
started the night Of the bout be-
tween Lew Jenkins and Henry ARM
strong July II. Two days later
Mike had all the figures on the clubs
attendance, costs and farm system.
He doesn't know yet what the price
will be, but the guess Is within
shouting distance of $4,000, 900.
