Card, Yankee Pitchers Sparkle
As Shutouts Stud Majors PLAY

by Mel Harder with a four-hit win
for the Cleveland Indians over the

homer was the whipped cream on
the sundae in this one.
Major Mark Is Tied.
With the help of a major league
record-equalling total of 18 putouts

And the fifth whitewashing was

No Mile Mark Looms
As Haegg's Rivals
|Spurn Handicaps
BY the Associated Press,

~ s>@S
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July a
After romping to victory as slowly
as he willed in his four previous
American starts, Sweden's famed
Gunder Haegg will be forced to get
really stepping If Boston's Gil Dodds
has any say about tonight's mile
race feature for the benefit of the
United States Air Forces Aid So
ciety at the Harvard Stadium.
Divinity Student Dodds has been
as futile as greyhound chasing
mechanical rabbit in his previous
cinder jousts with Haegg, in Chi
cago, Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. Now, back in his own terri
tory, Dodds is determined really to
extend Haegg, owner of six world
records who readily admits that he
runs only fast enough to win.
Rivals Reject Big Handicaps.
When Haegg arrived here, he had
a total OF seven world marks, in
cludlng a 4:04.6 mile. Since then
that has been lowered to 4:02.6 by
Arne Anderson, another of Swe-
dens many sensational tracksters
The hope that Haegg will be forced
to turn in a record smashing per-
1ormance appears to have little or
no basis. Dodds, at his best, may
preak 4:08. There will be three other
starters, Don Burnham of Dart
mouth, the intercollegiate mile
champion; Bill Hulse, New York
Universitys 800-meter titlist, and
Bobby Knowles, the Springfield COL
lege freshman flash.
The American Scandinavian A. A,
sponsors of the benefit meet had
hopes OF giving generous handicaps
to all of Haegg's rivals to force him
to go allout. Dodds and Burnham
however, insisted on starting from
scratch and Hulse and Knowles
agreed to compete only if their
handicaps did not exceed 10 and Is
yards, respectively.
Stadium Mark Threatened.
That kind Of setup appears to
eliminate all chances of another
Haegg record-smashing perform
ance, unless Gunder the Wonder
really can turn it on OF his own ac-
cord
There is slight chance that
Haegg may be forced to run the
fastest mile In American history. To
do that, he would be forced to get
under 4:06.7. which was a world
record when Glenn Cunningham
turned In that time back in 1884. It
can be taken for granted, however,
that Haegg, to win, will be forced to
set new stadium track mile rec
ord. which now stands at 4:12.6 and
Is held jointly by Norman Tabor
and England's Jack Lovelock,

ATLANTA, July 24.-Well, sir, they
may have to run that 4-minlte mile
in a livery stable, to settle how much
horsepower it would take to push a
man that far, that fast.
Emory University's engineer and
coach, j. G. Lester, figured it up off,
hand last week at better than six
horse-power-the energy necessary
to propel 150-pounder like Gunder
Haegg or Arne Anderson around a
track at that speed. But his figures
weren't cold before the physicists
and track experts bobbed up with
variations of the same equation.
One letter, from the Naval Air
Technical Training Center at Jack
sonville, Fla, said the question

An Atlanta mathematician suggested
querying a physiologist "as to actual
measurement and SO forth"
Lester, after a guerilla engagement
with the Emory University physics
department, decided its members the
entire problem, weight, speed and
acceleration, which he said he'd
overlooked.

dean of the college, suggested "be-

Armstrong and Joyce
Promise Hot Scrap
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, July 24.-Henry
the Hammer, that Armstrong fellow,
goes to the post 2-to-1 favorite
over Willie Joyce early tonight in
Los Angeles first twilight fight.
1t will be Hammerin' Hanks
twenty-fourth fight in comeback
campaign, although he prefers to
term 1t a resumption of activity
after a needed rest.
Promoter Joe Lynch expects a
crowd of $4,000 to contribute about
S5O,000 or more, but with gas ra-
tioning and transportation problems
he may be disappointed. The ad-
vance sale passed s25,0O0 two days
ago, Lynch said.
1t ought to be another interesting
battle. Joyce. Gary, Ind, Negro
with spearing left and lots of
speed, gained a well-deserved deci-
sion in the last 10-rounder in Los
Angeles, but Armstrong hardly had
recuperated from a tonsilectomy.
He broke Joyce's jaw in the eighth
round and Willie hasn't had a bout
since.
This time Armstrong may or may
not be affected by lip cuts he suf-
fered in his last bout against Sammy
Angott in New York June II. Medi-
cal examiners have pronounced
him fit. His training routine was
no worry, since he has been active
for months. Joyce, after his long
layof, seems to have lost none of
his speed, and he can back k-pedal
and jab with the best of them.
In their last affair Joyce took to
his heels early and kept out of
trouble until the eighth, meanwhile
making Armstrong miss often and
cleverly tieing him up in the
clinches.
The main event of the card at
Gilmore Field was to start about
