Leonard Licks As
FL For 18th Win

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-R)-
Dutch Leonard, veteran Washing
ton right handler, had an edge on
Jess Flores tonight and gained his
twelfth win of the season in a
81 victory over Philadelphia.
The Senators and Athletics
clashed in a twilight-night double
header that was the fist of five
twinbills Washington will play in
as many days in catching up on
postponements due to wet weather.
A double by George Myatt and
Joe KuheIs single produced Wash
ingtor,'s run in the opening in
ming.
The Senators made it 20 in the
sixth. US
Myatt doubled again, Buddy
Lewis was hit by a pitched ball,
Kuhel was purposely passed, and
Harlond Cliffs 400 foot fly to
Mayo Smith scored Myatt with
what turned out to be the winning
run.

the most part, although there are
some individual exceptions among
the players, notably Boo Ferriss.
On past performance it seemed
that Joe. Medwick would be avail
able to the Giants only at intervals.
That was right, as he was in and
out Of the lineup until finally sent
to Boston.
After their sensational season
last year, it seemed that Hal New
houser and Dizzy Trout would be
due for a. natural letdown and do
well to win IS games between
them this season. That seems to
be wrong. Forty-five would be clos

We predicted Branch Hickey
would have to stuff his ears with
cotton if the Dodgers got away to
a poor start and the fans started
yoWling at him. The Dodgers got
away to a good start and the fans
have laid off the Deacon, so you
can't tell about that one.
We thought the one player most
missed by team would be Dick
Wakefield of the Tigers. We're i'll
clined to hedge. on that one now.
We think the loss of Stan Musial
was a greater blow to the Cards.
On minor league performance.
we believed the Cardinals Albert
Schoendienst would be the top Ma

not be too far wrong. The guy is
good.
A great admirer of Bucky Wal

win 20 games and stand the Card

wrong on both counts on that one.

SWEDISH STARS
RUN AT LONDON

LONDON. Aug. 1.-P)-Gunde-
Haegg and Arne Anderson, the
worlds fastest milers, will run in
separate races Monday in the
hope of setting new records at
both one and two miles.
The two running Swedes, who
constantly are breaking each others
records in an effort to achieve
the four-minute mile, are booked
as the special feature of an Anglo
American four-team track and
field meet in London's huge White
City football stadium.
1t will be the first major track
meet in England in more than six
years and a crowd of 10000 is ex-
pected. Monday is bank holiday
which means that all stores and
offices will be closed.
Haegg and Anderson will not
run against each other and their
points will not count in the team
totals.
Haegg, the Malmo suit salesman,
is the present holder of both the
records in jeopardy. He lowered
the time for the one mile to 4:01. 4
July II, cutting two-tenths off the
mark Anderson set > year ago.
Haegg's two-mile record is 8:428.
Anderson will run against Sgd.
ney Wooderson Of London, whose
4:0666.4 of 1887 stood several years
as the universal standard. Wood
erson's best time this year is
4:14.8.
Douglas Wilson, British Army
athlete, likely will be Anderson S
strongest rival although his best
previous time is 9:07.

If such should come to pass,
MacPhail would be president of
New Yankees football team in
the proposed All-American league
which hopes to swing into action
in 1916, or at wars end.
Basically, the situation revolves
around the current controversy
over 1916 National League playing
dates between Tim Mara's New
York Giants and Capt. Dan Top
pings Brooklyn Tigers. Mara's
proposal that the Giants play six
home games to the Tigers three
lat Yankee Stadium has not been
accepted, contrary to previous re-
ports, the United Press learned
from authoritative sources today.
Topping, acting through his Vice
President Tom Gallery while he
is stationed with the Marines in
Hwaii, seeks better break ''pre-
ferably 50 arrangement" and
consideration for more favorable
dates. A meeting between the
rival factions is to be held in
the near future.
If Mara doesn't yield" sources
close to Topping said, 'the fire
works will start, and their results
will be far-reaching in both the
National and A H. A m r c a
leagues"
In its rsmific tons. the current
complex situation is this:
Topping's Tigers have played
their National League games in
Eobets Field, Brooklyn, in the
past, but for the 1945 season will
use Yankee Stadium. Topping, in
addition to being president of the
,lgers, is also part-owner of the
New York baseball Yankees, to-
gether with MacPhail and Del
WEBB. Tom Gallery, vice-presi-
cent Of the Football Tigers, is also
assistant to MacPhail.
For the 1915 season, the Tigers

Andolino until one of the Suffolk
