Tokyo Bay and in waters strongly suspected of being mined. Four fighters and two B-17s provided cover for the Gabilan, but the fighters were forced to leave very shortly because of lack of fuel. One B-17 circled the pilot in the water while the other guided the Gabilan toward the pilot in the water. Two Japanese fighters came out from the beach and forced the GaSoilan to Submerge while the B-17 drove them off. The race for the downed pilot was resumed but shortly thereafter three Jap fighters came out with serious in tentions and prevented the Gabi- Ian from reaching the downed pi- lot.
 On July 10, our carriers of the Third Fleet carried out concen- trated attack on the Tokyo area, and provided fighter cover for the Gabilan to rescue any pilots who found it necessary to ditch" Two TBM torpedo bombers made wa ter landings alongside the Gabilan and their crews of three men each rescued. Another TBM was down well inside Tokyo Bay and the Gabilan rushed in for them at | flank speed. This time six Navy fighters provided cover and stayed until the three aviators were re- covered and the Gabilan was well out of range of shore batteries again. On the way out, the fight CTS paused while the Gabilan sank a drifting mine by gun fire. A Navy Hellcat fighter later request ed permission to make forced water landing alongside. He made a beautiful job of it and was brought aboard in matter of a couple minutes.
 While lifeguarding for Mustang fighter strikes from Two Jima on another day, two pilots had to bail out of their damaged planes. The OIIC 1O1 SCNC4 oA utes to get clear of his plane, and finally succeeded but was knocked unconscious when his head hit the tail assembly of his plane; he re- gained consciousness just before hitting the water. The other Mus tang pilot bailed out and landed in restricted waters where he foated in his rubber boat for a couple hours until the Gabilan and her plane cover could reach him. On this occasion a Jap plane tagged along all the way but was held at bay by the B-29 that was covering the Gabilan.
 During another carrier strike a total of four aviators were recOv- cred after their two torpedo planes were forced to make water land ings as the result of anti-aircraft fire over their targets. The Ga

CARDS STILL
 GAME AHEAD
 OF DODGERS
By JOE REICHLER JAP Shorts Written

It is doubtful today if any major league baseball manager ever bow cd out with more satisfaction than William B williamsburg Bill) Me Kechnie. erstwhile boss of the Cin- cisanati Reds.
 NdcKechnie managed his last galne for the Reds last night He was fired" three days ago. His final act as the Redlegs boss was to mastermind his hirelings to a 6-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals an act which might cause the Brooklyn Dodgers-a team Bill ad- mits he dislikes-to nose out the club he formerly managed for the National League flag
 McKechnie knew full well that the Dodgers, who earlier in the sea- sen he had accused of dirty play ing against his Reds, had lost, ll-9, to the Philadelphia Phillies. A St Louis victory would just about seal Brooklyn's pennant hopes as it would give the Cards a two-game advantage with only games left.
 He nominated Bucky Walters, al ways a tough cookie for the Cards, to pitch. Walters pitched one of the finest games Of the season to blank the Birds with seven hits.
 The defeat left the Cards still che game ahead of the Dodgers.
 Brooklyn plays at Philadelphia again this afternoon while St. Louis is idle for the day.
 Brooklyn, showing signs of crack ing under the terrific strain of chasing the Cardinals, blew three run lead in the ninth when the Phils came up with five runs to win their 11-9 thriller Although the Dodgers used eight pitchers to set answ league record.
 Scoring five runs in the first innings, the Boston Braves dead locked the Cubs for third place by defeating the New York Giants 6-5. The Cubs lost a 16-inning game to Pittsburgh by the same score when Billy Cox singled in Lee Handley. Ralph Kiner took over the Nation al League home run leadership with his 23rd home run.
 Bchby Fel1er famed 10 to boost his seasons strikeout total to 337, only six short of Rube Waddell's s listed record. However, Teller, once again received poor hitting support from his mates and dropped a Al decision to Joe Haynes and the Chicago White SoX
 Despite Hank Greenberg's And home run, the Detroit Tigers were beaten by the St. Louis Browns, 6-7, as the Browns Vern Stephens clouted a homer and two singles. Joe Dobson pitched the American League champion Boston Red Sox td their 103rd victory with a five hit 5-2 win over the New York Yankees
 The Athletics executed a triple play but lost a doubleheader to Washington 6-3 and "A with Roger Wolff and Dutch Leonard receiving credit for the victories.
