Cleveland indians Shuioui
 (hitago While Box 10 Take Commanding Remnant Lead
By RALPH RIDDEN

The Indians may be vanishing race but you couldn't tell it to the baseball world today.
 Led by Manager Lou Boudreau, the Cleveland war party appears a leadpipe cinch to clash with another species, the Boston Braves, for the 194S world series wampum.
 Boudreau's Tribe enjoys a com- manding two-game lead over the runner-up Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees in the American League pennant fight with all of the contenders having only four games left to play
 The Indians gained this almost insurmountable lead last night by massacreing the Chicago White Sox 1l-0, after the Red SoX and Tanks were ambushed in the after noon, Az, and 5-2, respectively by the Washington Senators and Philadelphia Athletics.
 Pennant Lineup
 The Indians could nail down their first flag since 1920 by win ming three out of their remaining four games. Should they divide the four games, the Red Sox or Tanks, by winning all of their four could only tie the Indians fer the pennant. The fact that two of the runners remaining games are against each other les sens the possibility oi enc of them sweeping four games.
 Lefty Gene Bearden turned in one of the best performances of his career in blanking the White Sox. The rookie held the Chicagoans to four scattered singles. famed five and walked two in hanging up his 18th victory against seven defeats.
 Red Socks Tanks Lose
 Rae Scarborough and Carl Scheib were the boys who put crimp into the flag house of the Red SoX and Yankees.
 Scarborough chilled the Sox on six hits in picking up his 14th vic tory fer the seventh place Sena- tors. The Senators hammered starter and loser Joe Dobson for four runs in the second inning and Scarborough coasted the rest of the way.
 Scheib had a more difficult time stopping the Tanks. He allowed II hits hut three doubleplays got him out of holes.
 In the only other American League game the St. Louis Browns clipped the Detroit Tigers, 5-3, on rookie Hank Arft's two-run eighth inning homer.
 Braves Dcwned
 The Brooklyn Dodgers, engaged in a three way battle for second place with the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates, downed the pennant winning Braves, 9-8, in 13 innings on a home run by Jackie Robinson. Pee Wee Reese and Ed Miksis alss homered for Brooklyn while Jeff Heath and Frank Mccormick homered for Boston. The win pushed the Dodg- CTS a game ahead of the Cards. The Cards, in front of Pittsburgh by half game, had their schedul- ed night game with the Pirates rained out.
 New York and Philadelphia di- vided a doubleheader. The Giants won the opener, 6-5, and the Phils the nightcap, 6-3, in game that was called because of darkness at the end of six innings.

nomination of ''men like Dwight ID.
Eisenhower and William o. Doug
las.''
Two weeks ago, Truman told a
meeting of Young Democrats ::
"There'll be a Democratic President

years, and you re looking at him.

Treasurer William A. Tulian-the

There are 432 delegates yet to
be selected in state primaries and
convention, Henderson said, and
even if the President has the sup
port of all of these he still would
not have a majority committed to
him.
Some supporters of both General
Eisenhower and Supreme Court JUS
tice Douglas concede that Truman's
strength will, however, be strong
enough to prevent his being knocked
off the ticket, unless at the last min
ute he chooses to step aside. They hope
that he can still be persuaded to hand
