Strings Also Cut .
By Jack Hond
kssoeioted Press Sperts Writer

Brooklyn's 13-game win spree is
the latest casualty of baseball's S
''heartbreak week" which also saw
the end of Cincinnati Ewell Black
wells 16-game string and Pittsburgh
Frank Cuisines 21-game hitting
streak.
Add to these disappointments the
collapse of the Boston Red Sox who
went into a four-game losing tail
spin after seven straight victories
and the end on Monday of the New
York Giants consecutive game home
run streak at IS.
Although the st. Louis Cardinals
pulled out of their downward plunge
by humping the Phillies last night,
6-1, it might very well be that the
Red Birds pennant hopes also died
during the week in three straight
defeats at the hands of the Dodgers.
Chicago ended the Brooks longest
success story since 1924 with 1913
triumph engineered by Catcher Clyde
McC Cullough's two-run homer In the
ninth inning.

Joe Hatten, an old Cub-tamer
from way back with eight consecu-
tive wins over Chicago to his credit
in a two-year span, was rested and
ready to hang up the Dodgers 14th
triumph. But he was not around at
the finish when Hugh Casey threw
the homerun ball to Mccullough to
end stormy afternoon.
The Cubs knocked out Hatten In
the sixth and finally tied the score
In the seventh inning of a free-hit-
ting contest.
Both New York and st. Louis won,
clipping the Dodgers lead to nine
games, with the Giants holding a
one-percentage point edge on the
Cards for second place.
Dave Koslo was in superb form
as he lefthanded the Giants to a
2-1 edge over Pittsburgh, striking
out Hank Greenberg three times.
In fact, Koslo, en- route to his 18th
success, whitfield Ralph Kiner,
Greenberg and Wally Westlake in
succession in the second and ninth.
Murry Dickson and Whitley Ku-
rowski teamed up on the Phils to
assure st. Louis of that 6-1 edge
Dickson allowed only five hits and
singled home the winning run in
the fifth. Kurowski homered off
Schoolboy Rowe in the second and
after he was dumped into the dirt
by an inside pitch in the eighth,
blasted Rowe's second delivery into
the left-f1eld seats with Erv Dusak
and Chuck Diering on base.
Braves Lose Ground.
Boston lost ground in the race,
splitting two with Cincinnati.
Johnny Sain hurled the Braves to a
40 edge in the opener with the help
of Bob Elliott's two-run homer in
the first inning. Another homer by
Elliott with a man on failed to de-
eide the finale, which went to Cincy
in II innings. 80, on a single by
Clyde Vollmer. an error by Frank
Mccormick and Bobby Adams
game-winning single.
In the American League, after the
New York Yankees had opened the
door by bowling to Cleveland In a
day game, 4-3. the Detroit Tigers
knocked off the Boston Red Sox in
night game, 81, leaving the Yanks
II games ahead.
One bad inning, the eighth, when
st. Louis scored twice, ruined Phila-
delphia's Dick Fowler, who struck
out eight men but bowed to the
Browns Bob Muncrief, Al. vern
Stephens single to left was the pay
off blow, driving home Johnny

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Aug. 2.-Par

beating today as the low go scorers
in the st. Paul Open golf tourna-
ment put on the pressure to deter

Eastern Grass Court
Event 10 Test Davis
Cup Net HopefuIs
By The Associated Press

SOUTH ORANGE, N. j.. Aug. q
Big and little, young and old, ia
nous and unknown, American and
foreign tennis players-138 strong
swooped down on the Orange Lawn
Tennis Club to begin play today In
the annual Eastern Grass Courts
championship, a tourney that may
we'll prove the quality of some OF
the Davis Cup candidates.
This will be especially true In
the cases of Ted Schroeder who
has geen accorded the top seeding,
although he has not played on grass
since last December in Australia
during the Davis Cup competition,
and Gardnar Mulloy, who still is
f1ghting for a cup berth, although
his performances have been below
standard through most of the sea-
son.
"Giant Killer" In Spotlight.
To a lesser extent, Eddie Moylan,
the young giant killer" from San
Francisco, who has been raising
eyebrows of tennis officials by his
superb play, and lanky Bob Falken-
burg, he of the bullet-like service
and poor control. also will be
watched closely. t
Schroeder, who was not at his
best earlier in the week when he
and Jack Kramer were upset by
Gardner Larned and Bernard
Bartzen in a doubles match, is at
the head of the fourth quarter OF
the draw.
Only Seymour Greenberg, veteran
former national clay courts cham
pion, Man Mohan of the Indian
Davis Cup team and Vinicius Rurac,
Romanian titleholder, seem capable
of extending Schroeder.
Mulloy second-seeded, probably
will come in for some sitter compe-
tition in the upper quarter, for he
will have to get by Moylan, Larned
and j. H. Mehta, another Indian
Davis Cupper.

Talbert, seeded No. 8, is at the
top of the final division and was
scheduled to tangle with Sam Match
and Pancho Segura before finding
any clear sailing. pa
All the glitter and pomp Of prewar
tournaments were to be observed. A
total of seven foreign nations were
represented, including the entire
Wightman Cup team of Great

Early Wynn probably never will
receive the personal advertising
which befalls such pitchers as Bob
Feller or Hal Newhouser. but the
Mats hard working right-hander is
establishing himself as one Of the
leagues top pitchers. He's accom-
plishing 1t with nice variety OF
pitches, plus control.
Twenty times this season Manager
Ossie Bluege has dispatched husky
Wynn to the mound and IS times
he has remained around for the fln-
ish. In those Is complete games
Wynn has averaged less than three
walks, which is one of the reasons
he owns IL victories today.
Wynn notched No. IL last night
at Grifiith Stadium, scattering sew
en- hits to beat Chicago, 81, and
thereby deal the White Sox their
first defeat here in seven games
this year. He walked only two, both
in the first inning, in coasting to
triumph.
A willing laborer who tolls every
fourth day. Wynn already has
pitched 1858 innings this season
No strikeout artist, Wynn is topped
in that department and in earned
run average by Walter Masterson
but Wynn is getting excellent results
by having the opposition beat the
ball into the ground.
Barely Misses Shutout.
When Wynn's control is off he's
likely to be battered, which ac-
counts for a 3.3 earned-run average.
When he's on the beam he's tough,
as the White Sox will testify. For
seven innings last night Early pos
sessed a 3-hit shutout. -.
The steady pitching Of Wynn and
Masterson. coupled with the re-
covery of Mickey Haefner, has pre-
sented Bluege with a creditable
staff which he hoped would be forti-
fled further today with the addition
Of Sid Hudson to his list of starters.
Plagued by side and shoulder in
juries this season after compiling
three straight victories, Sid was to
return to the mound after a two
week absence to face Chicago,
against whom the Mats have cap
tured four of their last five games.
Orval Grove was to pitch for Chi
cago, which will meet the Mats IN
a single game tomorrow. :.

Russia
Feverish War Preparation

The Soviet Union, struggling to
hurdle from a backward agricultural
to a modern industrial economy
within one or two generations, is try
ing to lash its workers to greater
production with fears of the atom
bomb and war with the United States
and Britain, according to opinions
published this week by the Foreign
Policy Association.
A survey of Russia'S internal eco
nomic problems indicates concentra-
ton on heavy industry to the neglect
of consumer goods.
Russian planners, the report said,
regard light industries such as shoes,
clothing and household utensils as
''the stepchild of Soviet economy"
AS a result, the Russian people are
forced into standard of living which
is low even compared to that of some
of Russia's neighbors in eastern
Europe, the report said. One major
problem is the Red Army soldier re-
turned from occupation duty with
newly acquired living standards.
Russian economy, says the report, is
beset by profound EMBELLISHMENTS of
a society striving to haul itself up by
its bootstraps at maximum speed
without substantial foreign loans.

Science
Modified Shock Treatment

Electrically induced sleep, which
keeps patient unconscious for seven
to Is minutes, offers an apparently
effective means of treating schizo-
phrenia, one of the common forms of
insanity, according to two University
of California medical researchers.
This treatment, called electronar.
COSTS, is not new but has not been
used sufficiently for the medical pro-
fession to know exactly what can be
expected of it. 1t is modification Of
an older form of treatment, electro
shock, in which a heavier charge Of
current, applied for a fraction of a
second, knocks the patient uncon-
scious and throws him into con.
vulsions.
DR.. Karl M. Bowman, head of the
university's psychistric clinic, re-
ported recovery of five of 81 persons
who took the treatments.
DR.. Bowman said that while elec>
tronarcosis was not found superior to-
electroshock, results warrant further
study and that in individual cases 10
might become the better method.

Pie in the Sky

RE IN the sky
1t was hot. The nation, unaccus-
toned yet to prickly heat, was de-
pressed and irritable. The foreign
news was bad. Russia had walked out
OF the Paris conference. Europe was
splitting into armed camps.
Like heat lightning before a storm,
reports cracked from coast to coast
about mysterious flying saucers"
skimming through the skies at speeds
up to 1000 miles an hour. Soon they
were seen, in most states of the
Union and around the world.
The strange missiles were seen by
hundreds. since Kenneth Arnold,
busineSSman-pilot of Boise, Idaho,
first reported them flying in loose
formation high over the Cascade
Mountains in Washington on June Is.
They generally disappeared into the
distance.
Most agreed that they were round
or oval but guesses as to their size
ranged from that of a fve-room
house to one of a SILVER ball, six
inches in diameter"
AAF Mystifed
An Army Air Forces captain in
Washington said the AAF had de-
cided there must be something to all
the stories but was mystifed. He said
reports of fiat round objects tipping
through the skies were too wide
spread to be. groundless and notec
that number of observers had beer
competent airmen.
