Cleveland Indians FaIter with Chips
Down, Lose to White Sox2to1
And Slip Away from First Place

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. (UP)--The
Cleveland Indians have bid adieu
to first place-maybe for keeps.
With the chips down the Indians
couldn't protect their lead yester-
day against the team that has prov
ed the softest touch in the league
for them. They lost to the White
SoX, 81, and enabled the idle De-
troit Tigers to automatically move
into the American league strong
hold. Previously they had licked the
White Sox 16 times in 81 games
but when a must" game came
along the Tribe couldn't muster the
ammunition to win it.
Maybe the sight of the New York
Yankees in the stands as spectators
made Cleveland's team of mutiny"
SO nervous it couldn't concentrate
on the business at hand on the field.
The Yanks, waiting for the opening
of todayS vital game series, drop
ped in to pay the Indians a social
visit. 1t wasn't time wasted for the
Yanks as they picked up a half
game on the Indians as a gift and
now trail them by only half game.
However the Yanks are still one
game behind Detroit. If they can
lick Bullet Bob Teller today, the
Yanks will move into second place.
Imperial Valley press., 1940-09-10

And if the Tigers should lose, the
Bronx BOmbers can take over first
place in one full sWoop.
To Jimmy Dykes, the most violent
Cleveland hater in the league, fell
the honor of Ousting what he so
endearingly calls "the rats" from
first place. Since the mutiny of
June 10, Dykes has been the In
dams severeSt critic but he hasn't
had much fun popping off because
Cleveland has belted the White
Sox'S ears off.
Thornton Lee, an eX-Cleveland
southpaW who has lost four out of
six games to the Indians previously
this season, pitched superb game
yesterday. He allowed the Tribe only
four hits, and yielded only one blow
in the first six innings.
The Giants did the Reds a good
turn when they bumped off the
Dodgers, IA, and built Cincinnati's
lead back to seven games.
Only Dodger to profit by the de-
feat was Dixie Walker, who rammed
out five hits in five trips to hoist
his batting average seven points
and increase his lead in the Ma
tional league batting race to seven
points over Stanley Hack of the
Cubs.

Don MeNeM upsets BobbyRiggs
To National Tennis Crown:
Comes from Behind for Victory

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. 10
| (UP)-On the left side of man
body deep beneath his ribs is fist
sized chunk of meat called heart
To most men it is just SO much
flesh and gristle and never means
any more. But there are a few to
whom a heart is something from
which to draw courage and strength
when the going gets weary and
rough.
One of these few is tow-headed
stubborn youngster who was born
on the fringe of the Dust Bowl near
Oklahoma City. His name is Don
Mcneil and today under the grand
stand of the Forest Hills stadium it
was carved on a long slab of stone
as the man who is the greatest
tennis player America has produced
in this year OF 1910.
About 4:30 pm. yesterday there
were 10000 people in that stadium
and not more than 10 of them SER
iously believed the name of Don
Mcneil ever would be cut into the
plaque Mcneil at the time was
trailing two sets and one game to
Defending Champion Robert Riggs
of Chicago and all but a handful
of spectators believed the national
championships were over. Just an
hour and half later all 10000 were
on their feet and cheering a boy
to whom a heart was more than
just device for pumping blood.
For Don McNeill fought back from

disadvantage. Even when he got to
the front and needed each point
desperately, he gave a final, con-
elusive demonstration of what it
takes to make a champ. 1t was in
the 18th game of the fifth set and
McNeill was within four strokes OF
a prize for which he had been
working for five long years. Riggs
served and won the point on lob
but the umpire ruled the defender
had touched the net with his foot
and gave Mcneil the advantage
at $50.
Riggs protested and Mcneil plead
ed to have the point played over
He was waved back and told to
continue. He did. The first ball
Riggs sent over the net Mcneil
deliberately smashed to the fence,
sacrificing a point that meant more
than anyone except a player could
realize. From there on he ran out
the set and match, 4-6, 6-8, 6-3,
6-3, 7-5 to take the crown, proving
again that old adage which tells
us a man may be down and never
out.
While Riggs failed to defend his
mems title Alice Marble of San
Francisco won the womens crown
for the third time without even
calling on half her ability. She
whipped out quick, GO, 6-3, tri-
umph over the fading Helen Hull

NEW YORK, Sept. TO- CUP)-The
one thing that real sports cham
piOn must have is what is loosely
referred to as the killer instinct"
Somewhere in his makeup he
must have a virus that renders him
incapable of mercy, makes him
scornful of easing up in order to
save his opponent from humilia-
ton. He must be ready at all times
to press his advantage to the hilt,
TO prosecute with every ounce of
his strength an opponent who blocks
his path.
Bobby Riggs doesn't have this
Unborn urge to destroy, and that's

pion today. He had Don Mcneil
pinned down like a butterfly in the
final round at Forest Hills yester-
day. But, with the Oklahoma City
boy at his mercy, Riggs softened.
knowingly or unknoWingly, Bobby
sought to spare his rival the frus-
tration of straight set defeat be-
fore 10000 persons in the West Side
stadium.
In the same spot a Tilden never
would have done the same. Neither
would a Bulge nor Perry nor
Vines. Any of these champions
would have leapt to the kill and
rolled on over a bewildered Nc
Neill.
But Riggs didn't. With the first
set his, and with lead of ST., 40-15
in the second, he slackened his pace
He thought he was in, and that a
successful defense of his title was
assured. But the butterfly, thank
full of reprieve, began to squirm.
Given a chance to gather his shat
tered forces, Mcneil moved to the
attack and swept five straight games
to lead 6-5. Riggs finally won the
set at 8-6, but that marked the
end of his mastery.
McNeill dug in and swept through
the next three sets against a Riggs
who, try as he might. simply could
not regain the precise touch with
which he had started the game.
There can be no criticism of how
Riggs took his defeat, however. 1t
was tough blow, particularly in
view of the fact that victory was
what he needed to launch his car

did not whimper.
