New York, July le.-(UP)-Ac- tually this is July IS, ie4l, but to the millions of baseball fans in the country 1t Is Christmas, Thanks giving, the Fourth of July and Washington'S birthday all rolled into one big celebration.
 About once in every season there comes 8 day when the luck of the schedule offers fans the supreme thrill of seeing the leaders in both leagues hack away at each others throats.
 This is the day. Grandmothers are going to die in wholesale lots and the office boys who killed of their grandmothers on the opening day of the season are going to de- velop mysterious stomach aches which nothing but bleacher seat and a hot dog will cure.
 One So-called crucial series" us- ually is enough to raise the tenn perature of the fans, but today, ladies and gentlemen, the major leagues present four crucial series, involving nothing but first division teams. Read 'em and cheer:
 Yankees vS. Indians at Cleveland.
 White Sox vs. Red Sox at Chicago.
 Cardinals vS. Dodgers at Brooklyn.
 Reds vS. Giants at New York.
 Now or Never
 If called upon to select the most crucial of the four crucial series, we would say 1t would be the two involving the boys from Ohio-the Indians and the Reds. It's pretty much now or never for both teams. That Is particularly true of the Indians, who are going to have to stop the rush of the Yankees soon CT reconcile themselves to second place. With the Reds, it's a question of beginning to make up ground be- fore the Dodgers and Cardinals get too far out in front. Here Is the way the eight first division teams look to this observer as they head toward the stretch run through August and September:
 Yankees-Riding the crest right now, but due for a slump. Attack has been terrific for the last month and Joe Mccarthy has done a great job in handling a so-so pitching staff. Worst opponent now is the law of averages which works against any team that has been hot for a month.
 Indians-Still potentially the best team in the American league. Has hung on the fast pace of the Yan- kees well and still has a great chance for the pennant if somebody can be found to help Bob Teller with the pitching.
 Red SoX-Could cause lots of trou- ble down the stretch if some con- sistent pitching could be harnessed to that terrific attack. Probably finish third.
 White Sox-Bad on paper, good on the field. The team hasn't the nat

 Public Links Play

Indian Canyon, Course, Spokane Wash, July 16.-(UP)-A couple of kids too young for the draft were favorites today to win the 2Oth an- nual national public links golf tour nament when GA survivors of the qualifying round went into match play.
 Blonde Jimmy Clrak, 90, Long Beach, Cal. aircraft plant worker. breezed in four strokes ahead of the field yesterday to take the medal with his sparkling iS5-seven under par-over the hilly course. He tied the course record of 64 in the first round.

 Defending champion Bob Clark of st. Paul turned in pair Of T4's, and met Al Atkins of Ashland. Ky, to- day.

 Team to Beat
 Dodgers-Rough, tough club with power, pitching and balance. Will be fighting for the pennant right down to the wire and Larry Mac Phail,s check book will be out and working if necessary.
 Cardinals-Fast club, swarming with good young pitchers and boast- ing Q lineup studded with 300 hit. ters. Team has Q reputation for getting hot during the last six weeks of the season. If they do 1t this year, they will win the pennant.
 Reds-f1ave got to come to life quickly or they're through. Team isn't hitting, but if some of the other pitchers would round into form to help Buclky Walters and Elmer Riddle, the Reds could win lot of ball games by one and two runs.
 Giants-Probably will fold ir August. Team really belongs in fifth or sixth place and probably will be passed by the flying Pirates.

 Salt Lake City, Utah (UP)-A father -and-son team featuring Salt Lake City's racing mayor, Alb Jenkins, and his 21-year-old son. will speed over the hard surface of the Bonneville salt flats within the next few weeks in attempts to break some 90 new automobile records.
 Eighty-one of the records that Jenkins and his son, Mary, who will act as assistant and relief driver, will be out to break will be his own, set last summer on the saline speedway 130 miles west of Salt Lake City.
 In addition, Jenkins will have two other primary objectives:
 He hopes to become the first man to travel 4,000 miles in 24- hour period. To do this, he will have to average 167 miles an hour from dawn one morning until dawn the next.
 He wants to be the first race car driver to cover 200 miles in an hour.
 Records Set in 194O
 Tn his l040 run, Jenkins and his relief driver, Cliff Bergere, aver aged l6l.l8 miles an hour for 24 hours in establishing new records for all cIosed-track circular rec ords up to and including the 24- hour mark.
 The most miles Jenkins has ever covered in an hour in his Mormon Meteor II has been l0l, accom- plished e year ago.
 Jenkins last year turned in the fastest mile ever made on a cirs culiar course --i80 miles an hour over part of an ii-mile closed course.
 Utah state highway commission started clearing the two circular coursese on the salt beds July |. Experts said the track was in ex- cellent condition because of heavy winter rains end snow that brought the salt to the surface in large quantities.
 The tracks had dried out under & blazing sun. The only danger might bs that shouid the weather during tIle runs be too hot, more underground wafer should ne brought Co fhe gfFfnce than would quickly ovnporate with the result the sliriaee would be slippeEys .

Alb Jenkins And Son Seek
 New Marks On Salt Flats
Both Courses 10 Be Used

Jenkins plans during his 24 hour runs to use one of the two courses 10 ra while, then shift to the other while emergency crews smooth bumps on the first speedway.
 Mary Jenkins has been under. studying his famous father ever since the latter started develop ing the Bonneville flats into the worlds fastest speedway many years ago.
 For the last four years, Mary has driven the Mormon Meteor on most of its test runs and acted as chief pit mechanic.
 Until this year he was barred from official participation because of automobile association rules re- quiring that drivers be at least 21 years old.
 Mary during the past year has studied flying and is employed as a co-pilot by Western Air Lines.
 Jenkins, who has ruled Salt Lake City as mayor since his sur- prise election IS months ago, again hoped to have Beregere, who placed 5th in this years Memorial Day 500-mile race at Indianapolis, in his pit or helping drive the Meteor.
 Meteor Car OveFhauIed
 The Meteor underwent extensive improvements this spring in the hands of Mary Jenkins and Bud VYinfleld Tvadfananalfa ,s,eknr nxraark
 The compression of the v-l2 Cur- tlss Conqueror airplane-type motor was increased. A new cam shaft was installed. A timing defect was eliminated. Winfield believed these improvements would increase the power of the motor far beyond the TOO horsepower 1t developed last year.
 There was also Q possibility Of a direct time race between Jenkins and his son iEl dual attempts to es. tablish ali existing records in Glass C-for racers having sylinder dis- placements of Ices than $50 cubic inches.
