Dope Points to
Yankees as
Pennunt Wi nner

Yankees Rain ruined plans for the
unveiling of the Lou Gehrig memoir
ial at Yankee stadium at which a
throng of $4,000 was expected.
Bob Feller was battered out of
the box for the third straight time
by the Browns but last-ditch
rally with two out enabled the In
dians to pull the first game out OF
the fire, as Ken Keltner hit homer
with two on. Then a walk and
Heath'S single, on which outfielder
Grace erred permitted the tying
run to count. Heath went to third
on the error and stole home with
the winning run. Feller was raped
for 9 hits in l-3 innings, walked
eight and famed ten.
Lou Boudreau's double in the sew
enth drove in two runs and won
the nightcap. The game was called
at the end of the seventh to ALLOW
q fireworks demonstration to be held
in the Cleveland stadium.
The White Sox defeated Detroit,
80, behind Thornton Lees shit

a tight rein on their imaginations.
1t really will be an awesome sight

NEW YORK. July ) (UP)-There'S
a baseball adage that says the
teams that lead the major league
races after the July 4th games will
win the pennants.
If you are a National league fan
don't you believe it.
But if you're an American league
fan. you might as we'll get ready
to sec the YankS in the world SER
les.
In four OF the past five years
the National league team that led
after the independence Day games
did not play in the world series. The
exception was the Cincinnati Reds
in 1899, who led at the traditional
halfway mark and beat off a rush
by the Cards to win.
But in the American league the
halfway leader has won the pen
nant four out of the last five years.
The Indians were on top last July
5th morning but blew the pennant
to the Tigers who were second at
that point. In the other four years
the Yanks were on top and stayed
there.
Brooklyn is leading the National
league pennant chase today by a
one-game margin but all was not

United States aid to Russia need

In the present situation with Hit

To help the Russians does not

second, they're wearing them long
er this season; way up around the
wrist"
The result was that they couldn't
find pair of gloves large enough
for Simon and had to call off the
bout. One spectator who was very
much on edge saw the gladiatorS
leaving the ring, turned to his COM
panion and said: "Fashcst knockout
ever shaw"
1t is impossible TO. sec how a
referee is going to operate in the
r-Simon fight unless he learns
to walk on stills or puts head
phones on the fighters so he can
communicate with them when he
wants them to break out of a clinch
Another problem is going to be
how to get the stricken man back
to his dressing room in the event
he Is knocked horizontal and is
unable to rise. One suggestion is
that Promoter Mike Jacobs call for
bids for removal of the body from
firms that recently have been en-
gagged in Wrecking the Sixth avenue
elevated line.
But the most brilliant suggestion
has been that the fighters borrow
something from Abraham Lincoln,
who, when challenged by a much
smaller man, painted circles on him
self and told his opponent to cor
fine his blows TO those areas. The
idea would be that no person could
possibly shift his eyes from Simon's
stomach to his head in time to see
a punch land.
The eye is wonderful thing, but
it couldn't cover that much dis
tance in a limited amount of time.
Under this system a rectangle would
be drawn on each mans body and
face and designated as combat
areas" Punches that landed any
where else would be ignored or, at
most, recognized only by an ex-
change of diplomatic notes.
The broadcast will be done by Or
son Welles. AiEIkKE
