First Week in June Disasi : rous-MdY Have Bear
 ing on Pennant Race
By JOE REICHLEK Press Sports Writer


 Injuries the first week in June may have been the turning point of the campaign for the major base ball league 1947 race winners.
 Tn the past few days the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox in the American League and the Brooklyn Dodgers and Chicago Cubs in the National have been crippled by in juries which might prove damaging to their pennant aspirations
 Pete ReiSer, Dodger star center fielder, suffered a "laceration of the skull' in a collision with the con crete centerfield wall at Ebbets Field.
 Dr. Dominic Rossi, the Dodgers physician, said Reiser had " shaped cut on the top of his head but could not immediately determine the seriousness of the injury.
 Three Detroit regulars were in jred in yesterdays double header with the New York Yankees. They were George Kell hard hitting third basamai1, Dick Wakefield, slugging leftfielder and Paul Dizzy Trout, one of the Tigers first string pitch CTS
 Kell suffered cuts on the left knee and right hand from spikes of New Yolk's George Stirnweiss, on a close play at third. Wakefield twisted his left knee sliding into second. Trout, leading 6-2 in the last of the seventh of the same game, gave way to Freddie Hutchinson after recur- renee of an old groin injury.
 Giants Shut Out
 On the playing end, the Cubs, behind the four-hit pitching of Fordham Hank Borowy handed the Giants their first shutout defeat of the season 60 and went into first place tie with the New Workers.
 The Dodgers, led by Pee Wee Reese, who hit grand slam home run off Elmer Singleton, moved within four points of the deadlocked Cubs and Giants by whipping the Pirates for the third straight time 9-4.
 Detroit retained it's two-game lead in the American League by dividing a double header with the Yankees. After the Tigers had copped the op- ener 6-2 behind Trout, the Yankees unloosed their siege guns to take the nightcap 17-8.
 Bobby Teller, who recently dis closed he suffered from stiff shoulder, won his first game since May 18 He pitched the Indians to a 6-2 victory over Washington in a night game in Cleveland.
 Cards in Cellar
 The Boston Braves prevented the St. Louis Cardinals from leaving the National League cellar by defeating the Redbirds 3-1 in night game in Boston The win put the Braves one game behind the leaders. Earl Torgeson of Snohomish went hitless for the first time in 16 games.
 Home runs by Ted Williams and Sam Mele, the latter with one on, gave the Boston Red Sox and Joe Dobson, a 5-2 victory over the Browns in St. Louis.
 Ken Heintzelman pitched the Phillies to 9-2 win over the Gin cinnati Reds in Philadelphia.
 The Philadelphia Athletics pound- ed across seven runs in the top of the 11th to whip the White Sox in Chicago 103.

|Ju|y Corn Futures Hit.
AII-Time High Of S2.13.
lin Face Of Crop T ears
BY the Assoeiofed Press

CHICAGO, July 5.-July corn fu-
lures prices jumped " cents to
an all-time high of $2.13 a bushel
today on the Board of Trade on
heavy buying and short covering
based on the possibility of COM
paratively small crop this year in
the face of. heavy demand.
The record corn price compared
with peak of $685. bushel
Thursday. Before the recent price
squirt, the record price for July corn
was $685., set in July, 1919.
c. M. Calvin, crop statistician for
James E. Bennett & Co. estimated
the 1947 corn crop at 2,682, ,O00, 900
bushels, compared with 3,287 ,927 900
grown last year. He tentatively
estimated acreage at 1882, 600,
which would be the smallest since
1894.
U. S. Forecast Thursday.
This was the first estimate of the
corn crop from what the trade con-
siders an authoritative private
source. The first Government FORE
cast will be issued next Thursday.
Mr.. Calvin pointed out that corn
development was late and added
that the crop must have warm
growing weather to catch up. Trad
ers feared an early frost or more
unfavorable weather might have
a severe effect.
Demand continues heavy, includ-
ing Government buying for export.
Farmers, meanwhile, are reluctant
to market their old corn because of
fears for the new crop.
100000 Bushels Available.
There are almost 100000 bushels
OF outstanding contracts in July
corn. Only about 100000 bushels
are believed available for delivery.
July % is the last trading day in
July corn. After that date short"
in the contract either must deliver
cash corn or pay the July price plus
penalty which directors OF the
Board of Trade would set.
At $213, July corn was only about
7 cents lower than July wheat.
This is the narrowest spread in sew
eral years.
Cash corn advanced about 5 cents
today and No. yellow sold as high
as 1921. However, cash corn sold
as high as $2261a recently and
brought 1929 a year ago.

Mississippi Reported
leve|ing Off; Drop al
St. Louis Forecast
BY the Associated Press

GRAND TOWER, Ill, July S.
The muddy Mississippi, tapping at
second floors OF some Grand Tower
buildings, appeared to have leveled
off today after reaching the highest
peaks in over LOG years between St..
Louis and Cairo, Ill.
An estimated 600 homeless persons
of this towns 1000 population were
sheltered in tents and two school,
houses on high ground. Mayor Jesse
Grammer said it would take two
weeks for all the water to drain
from the town If the river falls at
the rate predicted.
At st. Louis, Harry F. Wahlgren,
Government meteorologist, said a
fall Of IL feet was expected in the
next 48 hours at st. Louis with a
slight drop extending as far south
as Cape Girardeau, Mo-, and Cairo
late tonight or tomorrow. The
river was stationary at the southern
points.
Foot Below Levees.
Army engineers said levees would
hold in Perry County on the Mis-
souri, side and across the river be-
tween Preston and Mcclure in Illi-
rois. The crest was at least one
foot below the barriers tops on both
sides.
However, the few remaining levees
fr r,,~,In1d hofh c1daC
of the Mississippi in the st. Louis
area were still termed critical de-
spite the rivers drop. The Missis-
sippi, still more than 8 feet above
flood stage, can exert lot Of pres
sure against soggy dikes already
weakened by rain, sand boils and
three weeks of high water, engineers
said.
At Dupo, ILL.,, Mayor Delmar z.
Valine said the danger Of overtop-
ping a hastily constructed dixie on
the terminal railroad tracks was
past but that the town could not be
considered safe until the river re-
ceded below the 36-foot mark. 1t
stood at the 1913 mark.
Dixie Saves Town.
Dupo residents erected the sand
bag and earth barrier after they re-
turned to the town following evac-
uation by the engineers. The town
originally was considered lost when
the Prairie du Pont levee broke, but
the new dixie kept the water out.
Al twice-daily boat service was set
up between a station on Illinois
highway 8, Grand Tower and near
by Gorham, ILL.,, also partially
inundated. The boats carry food,
medicine, first-class mail and han
die emergency evacuation cases.
The townspeople had worked
strenuously on the levee until
Thursday night when their sandbag
barrier was preached, allowing
muddy water to fill the business dis
trict and much of the residential
area.
Previously the town had turned
down proposals for a levee because
the residents felt it would obstruct
the view OF the river and spoil the
towns riverfront park, but at a
meeting last night plans for build
ing a permanent levee were dis
