At Chioogo's Expense,
Tribe Trips Bosox
By JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated pracs Sporf g ISyr;ta,


Fans probably don't pay a great
deal of attention to the baseball
standings these days because the
New York Yankees and Brooklyn
Dodgers are making runaways of
the major league pennant races.
Some newspapers in the spirit
OF good clean fun and to promote
interest in the standings of the
clubs even have turned them upside
down, putting the two Philadelphia
clubs on top, or have separated the
Yanks and Dodgers from the rest of
their leagues.
Maybe it will be a surprise, there
fore, to point that the Dodgers have
won 10 games and lost only % for
a percentage of TOT and stand
good chance of becoming the first
team in 33 years in the National
League to finish above the TOO per-
centage level.
The record was set by the Chicago
Cubs in 1906 when they won 116
games and lost 36 for .763. They also
were above 700 the next year and
the Pittsburgh Pirates topped that
level in 1902 and 1909. In the Amer
lean League the great Yankee clubs
of 1927 and 1889 and the Philadel-
phia Athletics of 1881 are all that
ever have turned the trick.
Dodgers Turn Game Into Rout.
This shows how high the Dodgers
are aiming and there is a good
chance that they will hit the target.
Even though the season has two
months to run there is no longer any
doubt that the team is the best in
the senior circuit.
1t added another scalp last night
with 90 conquest of the Chicago
Cubs, who were crushed with a six
run rally in the fifth inning.
The champs were held to one hit
for four innings by Lefty Vern
Olsen, while the Cubs took a 20
lead, Olsen himself driving in a
run with a single and Lou Novikoff
notching his sixth homer. But then
the Dodgers let loose with seven
quick hits and the game was turned
into a rout.
This increased Brooklyn's lead to
8l2 games over the idle st. Louis
Cardinals. The Yankees also were
idle, but their American League
margin was increased to 1917 games
as the Boston Red Sox dropped a
4-3 decision to the Cleveland
Indians.
Tribe Wins in Seventh.
Ted Williams hit his 22d home
run with one on in the first inning
to give Oscar Judd a suitable send
off against Mel Harder. But Judd
blew the game in the seventh. After
Ken Keltner opened with a single
Judd walked three men, forcing in
a run, and served another single to
harder for two more runs.
This dropped Boston again into a
virtual tie with the Indians for
second place.
Pinky Higgins drove in six runs as
Detroit downed the Philadelphia
Athletics, lis, in the first game of
a double-header, but the AS slugged

Robinson Faces
Upset in Clash
With Angott
Sommy's Crouch Held
Menace to Roy's Big
Winning Record
BY SID FEEDER,
Assoc la ted Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, July 3l-The long
est winning streak in modern fight
history-Ray Robinson's run of 121
in a row-collides with Sammy An
gott in Madison Square Garden to-
night and there's more than an out
side chance that the collision won't
do it a bit Of good.
Although the skinny Harlem
Hammer is to in the betting to
stay on the track that has left him
all-victorious ever since he first
drew on a glove rs an amateur
especially since he already holds
a decision over Angott-Sammy is
a specialist at upsetting guys in
return matches And tonight An
gott has one distince edge-a style
of bashing beaks that Ray definitely
does not like.
Ray Dislikes Samniy's Style.
Sammy likes to fight from a half
crouch. crowd his way in close and
then biff his opponent about the
mid-section at short range-the
shorter the petter. Robinson, on
the other hand. IS long, lean
string bean who wants to stand of
a way and pitch his high hard ones.
In all his fights, he has shown
little relish for the crowding kind
of rival-and Sammy Is one OF the
croWdingest. This corner believes
Sammy, who never has failed to
reverse a decision In return match
with any fighter who has once
beaten him. can do 1t again this
time and will gallop home with a
decision, in spite of The "Sugah
Mans" speed and two-handed shot
making.
Sammy's lightweight crown won't
be on the line in this one-it is
"s1ashed" away until he meets Allie
Stolz again.
| Yet, Promoter Mike Jacobs fig-
ures the fight presents enough OF

a gate Of over $4,000, will be sitting
In on the shindig by the time the
little Washington Pao walloper
and the Harlem thin man go to work
at 10 pm.
Robinson's long winning run has
been piled up in 80 amateur and
80 professional outings. He gener-
allv is regarded as the best OF the
little men to come down the pike
in years. But Sammy's the kind OF
a guy who can take his proverbs
Or leave 'em alone. And tonight
he's out to proye that Ray is just
a pitcher who can 60 to the well
