For this aim" the resolution
was quoted, the Yugoslavs have
embezzled the party's funds to use
them in their fight against us (the

violence and blackmail mainly
in the 1strian zone of the free terri
tory"

Are the Cleveland Indians ready to be scalped?
 Manager Lou Boudreau's Ameri- can League pace-setters have lost their first crucial series of the year and Bob Teller shows no signs of returning to the form that made him one of the greatest pitchers in baseball These two factors have cast a cloud over a once rosy outlook.
 The Tanks came into Cleveland Monday night three and half games off the pace. They knocked off Southpaw ace Gene Bearden, lost a 5-2 game to Sam zoldak Tues day, beat Don Black in Trimmings Wednesday and yesterday thrashed Teller 40. Cleveland now has lost eight out of it's last l2 starts
 Teller allowed the Tanks only five hits yesterday, but three of them were home runs and resulted in all of the Yankee runs.
 Philadelphias third place Athle- tics pulled to within two games of the Indians by nosing out the
