 New York, July IA (UP) - Uohn GoeffTey Heath, the fence- crashing Canuck, was out to prove to Yankee Boss Larry MacPhail to- day that he made big mistake in not forking over enough cash to buy him from the Indians.
 MacPhail wanted Heath and Heath wanted to come to the Yankees, but that is as far as the deal went. Before the season began the stocky native of Fort William. Ont, sat tight at his home in Seattle, Wash, and said he was sick of playing with the Indians. He begged to be traded to another club and because the noisy MacPhail needed hard hitting outfielders like he needs his vocal chords, the deal seemed to be as well as closed.
 The hitch came when Cleveland raised the ante on Heath and Mac- Phail baked. Finally after 8 two month holdout, Heath ended his siege and rejoined the Indians. Since then it has been his chief pleasure in life to blast the Yankees. ' He has won two games with homers, contributed to other triumphs with timely hitting and brilliant fielding, and 1t is no coincidence that Cleve- land has topped the Yankees in live out of six games since he came back to the club in June. In those six games he has batted 1884 against the Yankees, whereas his overall average is only .330.

Alley Donald, who suddenly has lost his charm over the Indians, dropped his second game to them m row after going since August 2l, 1s41 without losing to them. Steve Gromek, able to loaf to his 1eth victory, was as busy at the plate as on the mound, getting four hits and batting in four runs. | The Senators moved within two and half games of the leading Tigers by beating the White Sox at Washington, 3 to ?, winning with two out in the last of the ninth |. on George Cases bases-full single. < Mickey Haefner, who won his hits.
