FeIIer Final Hope in

By JUDSON BAILEY.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

hSSOCldleu EItSS SpOl - "IAtCL+
A week ago the big question in
the American League was whether
the New York Yankees would sew
up the pennant in their remaining
games in the West. They did.
Now the question is whether they
will turn the race" into an utter
rout or let the vanquiShed drag
along in pain while longer.
The BomberS won II out OF their
13 contests in triumphant swing
through the Western half of the
circuit and have won "a OF their
past 40 in a tremendous squirt that
has dwarfed the efforts of all the
other clubs.
AS the spotlight swung back to
the East today the Yankees were
IA games in front of the Boston Red
SoX. l5l2 ahead of the Chicago
White Sox and Tip on top of the
Detroit Tigers. the defending cham
pions.
Only Indians Stand Chance.
Only the Cleveland Indians, seven
games back in second place, have
even the remotest hope of over
taking the pacemakers and they
are going to be given their last
chance in three-game series in
New York today, tomorrow and
Thursday.
The Yanks have whipped the
Tribe in nine of the 13 tits they
have played to date. and this record
is not encouraging to Cleveland
fans. Their chief hope is that the
Yanks will trip over hurdle named
Bob Feller and that they will have a
chance to pounce on the New York
erS while they are down
Feller was to go to the mound
today in quest of his goth victory.
Being the pitcher he is. the odds
always are in his favor and he may
get it. He has beaten the Yanks
three times and lost once to them
this year.
If he should lose again. then
Cleveland might as we'll kiss the
boys good-by.
The scenery shifts in both leagues
this week, with the National League
action moving into the West.
Dodgers Stumble Again.
The Brooklyn Dodgers stayed be-
hind yesterday to clean up some
unfinished business in the only game
of the day in either loop But in
stead of improving their position
at the top of the senior circuit
the Dodgers dropped an 8-3 decision
to the Pittsburgh Pirates and head
ed away from home last night a
chastened and disconnected outfit.
I The Pirates pasted four Brooklyn
/ pitchers for II hits, including pair
of two-run homers by Elbie Fletcher
and Vince Di Maggie While this
was going on Lefty Ken HeintZel-
man held the Dodgers nicely in
check on 10 hits.
! This was Brooklyn's fourth defeat
in five games and cut the Dodgers
first-place margin over the st. Louis
Cardinals to one game.
The Dodgers will open their tour
at Cincinnati and won't reach st.
Louis for another crucial series
with the Cardinals until next week.

Those doubling ThomaSes who
have worried themselves within
three degrees of nervous prostration
by wondering whether Jimmy De
Chard could weather good bif on
the Whiskers must be searching
around for another problem TO
tussle with today after the rising
young heavyweight's decisive g.
round victory over Joe Carilli last
night at Griffith Stadium.
It was testimonial show in honor
of Promoter Joe Turner and some
$500 fans turned out for the occa-
sion. The gate added up to ST.
56775. which means Uncle Joe will
pocket a few shekels: and the Box
ing Commission responded nobly to
the OCCASION. limiting its take to an
$50 minimum. At the direction OF
Chairman Claude w. Owen, the re-
naming S195 of the commissions
full 10 per cent cut was refunded to
Turner, so the evening was flnan-
cialiy successful.
But easily the largest contribution
to the shows success was the De
Chard -Carilli battle, which was a
stand-up, free-swinging duet from
the outset.
Jimmy's Start Worries Mann.
Both boys cooled off during the
speech making and presentation OF
gifts to Turner which preceded the
main go and it visibly affected De
Chards work in the first three
rounds. which he lost by uncom-
Portable margins. The two sat in
the chill night air fully Is minutes
before being called to the center of
the ring for their instructions and
the oil in Jimmy's fighting ma
chinery apparently CONCEALED.
Anyway, he dropped the first three
rounds while Manager frankie
Mann fretted around like a setting
hen trying to shake him out of it..
And frankie was genuinely worried.
At the end of the third. during
which Carilli cracked him on the
chin with the same overland right
that dropped Joe Louis with 16-
ounce mittens during the cham
pion's training sessions here, Jimmy
was dog-tired He didn't move like
himself, punch with his old power
or box with the same GOODNESS he
has shown under fire. Carilli
evidently had his number.
But that right to the button woke
up Jimmy and he came out fighting
in the fourth and proceeded to win
the last five rounds and unanimous
decision.
De Chard's Left Tells.
1t was a long left hook to the
body, plus a series of rapid south
paw jabs to the head that unlocked
| the door to success for the District
boy. Carilli whose strong suit was
long and potent right under the
heart, couldn't cope with Jimmy's
left and wilted perceptibly as the
| fight wore on. De Chard had him
in full retreat in the seventh and on
the verge of a knockout in the
eighth. Two more rounds and he
