 Kendall added that many Bull garians had left for home during the last few days.
 Hoare said that one of his last acts in Rumania was to protest to Gen. Ion Antonescu, premier, against the sending of 5000 Polish refugees from T---,' lian concen- tration camps to Germ ny.
 Antonescue complained that Brit aims decision to sever relations with Rumania, while maintaining relations with Hungary, was "un- wind" Sir Reginald said. He added:
 "It was inevitable that we break off relations when the Germans have taken over completely. My last chat with Gen. Antonescue was most friendly. He seems to be try ing to convince himself that the Germans will win the war"

TEE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE:
BY Harry Ferguson

NEW YORK, July "a UP)-
Every year about this time a rust
ling sound is borne on the breeze
that sweeps up from New Jersey
Last evening it was heard in
Times Square-a rustic and a slight
clnking. It is the sound of the ten
MS trouperS counting their expense
dough and getting ready for the
wind-up of the SEASON at West
Chester, Chestnut Hill and Forest
Hills.
The sound comes from New Jersey
because the noble athletes are now
at Seabueht, playing a tournament
and checking and rechecking their
expense accounts with a skill and
thoroughneSs that would cause any
certified public accountant to snap
them up in a minute.
II looks like an interesting five
weeks ahead for the so-called tennis
buns and bummettes. Gone are
the days when sports writer's looked

those golden days was to write

and the red head and the blonde
never made a liar out of you.
Before that you could count on

The strangest case of the season

In the ladies department, the
uncertainty is just as prevalent.

Plenty of things happened to IT,
Cincinnati Reds last night and ther
were all bad. The law of average
finally caught up with Elmer Riddle
and the hitherto unbeaten sophie
more sensation suffered his firsJ
defeat after winning II straigh.
The Dodgers beat in a thriller. Sd
But worse than that. the Reds
star first baseman, Frank McCorm-
lex, was 'beaned" by one of Kirby
Higbe's fast balls and had to be
carried off the filed on stretcher.
Reports indicated McCormick's il
jury was nothing worse than a mild
conclusion but he was kept over
night in Christ hospital for obsee-
vation.
The Dodgers up-the-hill triumph
before 295O3 at Cincinnati enabled
them to remain in their first place
tie with the Cardinals who beat
the Giants in the afternoon, Sd.
in y innings. Both games were
cog eat dog struggles which were
in doubt until the final out.
The Yankees tomahaWked the III
dians again, 3-2, and increased their
American league lead to full
games. It was a day of revenge for
Joe DiMaggio, who blasted his 22nd
homer of the season off Lefty Al
Smith, who teamed up with Jim
Bagby to stop the Yankee stars
hitting streak at Sc straight in
Cleveland last week.
Here are some Yankee figures:
The Yanks have won five in a
row, 13 out of Is and Sc out of ~.
Joe DiMaggio has a new hitting

leads the majors with runs batted in

homers and 113 double plays, lead
ing all others in those two depart
ments. These figures tell the story
of why the Yanks are running
away with the race.
