Indians Outright

In Il Innings.
Flag Leaders Margin
Is Cut to Half Game;
Teller Relieved
By the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, July 31.-Cleve-
lands Indians, battling desperately
to remain in the thick of the dog
fight for the American League pen
nant, came from behind three times
today and finally defeated the pace
setting Boston Red Sox, 10 to 9 in
an thinning smuggling match that
lasted three and a half hours.
A single by Joe Gordon with two
out in the 18th scored Joe Upton
with the winning marker and sliced
Boston's lead over the second-place
Philadelphia Athletics to half a
game. The Indians, who play the
Sox again tomorrow in a double
header, remained in third place, two
games off the pace.
Gromek Credited With Win.
Bob Feller started for the Indians
but Ed Klieman, Russ Christopher
and steve Gromek were pressed into
service, with Gromek getting credit
for the victory. -.'e - = Is
Joe Dobson was the Boston
starter, but he was followed by
Earl Johnson, Earl Caldwell and
finally Mel ,Parnell, = who was
charged with the loss.
A home run by Junior Stephens
with two aboard in the eighth gave
Boston an 8-to-6 lead, but the In
dams failed to stay down. They
picked up one run in their half of
the eighth to narrow the count to
8 to 7. but the Red Sox tailed once
in the ninth to take a 9-to-7 adj
vantage.
Indians Come Back.
The Indians came roaring back
in their half of the ninth to tie the
score and send the game into extra
innings. Pinch-Hitter Thurman
Tucker opened with a double and
Hal Peck, also. pinch-hitting, drew
a walk. Parnell replaced Earl Cald-
we'll at this point and retired Pinch
Hitter Johnny Berardino.
Allie Clark then singled Tucker
across and Peck came in with the
tying run as Dale Mitchell grounded
out.
Upton opened the Tribe half of
the 18th with a single and was
sacrificed to second by Gromek
Parnell forced Mitchell to fly out
and Ken Keltner was passed pur-
posely but Gordon then came
through with his game winning
single.

Walters Back,
Pleased Despite
| Defeat by Pills.
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, July 81
Bucky Walters lost out today in
his bid for his 199th major league
victory. but you can take it
from the batters who faced him:
He'll give the hitters plenty
of trouble before the year is
over"
The 38-year-old veteran of the
Cininnati Reds made his first
start since he injured his knee
May 20. He had been on the in
active list for so days.
The Philadelphia Phillies beat
him Al in the second half of a
double header, but in many re-
spects it was a lucky victory.
Walters gave up nine hits, many
looping safeties just out of the
reach of f1elders. Errors &C
counted for two Phils' runs.
After the game Walters was a
pretty pleased old fellow, even
though he lost.
THE old soup bone" Bucky
said, felt fine and my knee held
up in great shape. I could put
weight on it and cut loose, some
thing haven't been able to do
since spring training. I want to
win those two games I need, and
more before the season is over"
Walters still needs two victories
to hit the 200-triumph mark.
Practically every one in the ball
park was willing to concede that
Bucky will turn the trick.
He had more zip on his fast
ball and a faster, sharper break
curve than he had had for two
years. His control was fair, his
change of speed perfect and now
and then he befuddled the bat
tiers with newly learned
knuckleball.

Cochran's space-eating strides and
f1awless jumping shot him into the
lead within the first few yards.
and he was out all alone In the
final run to the wire.
The former COB was, incidentally.
the first of the three Americans to
stand front and center and receive
his Olympic medal while the band
played the Star Spangled Banner
Steele made his winning leap In the
broad jump, despite a pulled tendon
in his right foot which forced him
to pass up his last four jumps. He
hurt the foot during the morning
preliminaries, but luckily got his
best distance on his first try in the
afternoon.
He tried one more. didn't like
what he felt, and then sat by while
his rivals tried unsuccessfully to
match him. 1t didn't matter, ex-
cept that, with nothing to lose on
his last four jumps. he could have
gone all out in an attempt to equal
or better Jesse Owens Olympic
record of 26 feet, SIS inches.
Bruce, the Australian, surprised
by taking second place with a jump
of "a feet 9ls inches. Douglas was
third at 24-9 and the other Amer.
lean, Wright, fourth with 24-5h.
Whitfield Easy Qualifier.
Races which created almost >as
much interest as today's finals we're
the semifinal heats of the 300 and
5000 meters.
Nal Whitfield, Americas chief
hope in the 800, qualified easily for
today's final by Looping in a short
head behind Marcel Hansenne Of
France in the good time of LOSS in
the first of three heats. Herb Barten
of Michigan won his trial in 1:5l.7.
and Bob Chambers got into the
final field of nine by finishing third
in his trial.
1t looks as If the final will see
Whitfield fighting 1t out with Ham
senne. Ingvar Bengtsson of Sweden
and Arthur Whit Of Jamaica. Whit
is a long-legged Negro who reminds
| very much of Johnny Woodruff,
who won the 300 for America in 1896.
He has the same tremendous stride.
and he hasn't really let himself
go yet.
| Only one of three American en-
tries survived the heats Of the 5000.
Curtis Stone of State College. Pa,
got in by finishing third in his run,
but he will be a boy among men
when the European distance giants
start battling Monday. Clarence
Robinson Of Brigham Young and
Jerald Thompson OF the University
of Texas dropped out of 1t today.
The final should be so something
to gawk at. Emil Zatopek, the
hardy Czech who won the 10000
meters yesterday, was beaten by
about foot In his heat today by
Erik Ahlden Of Sweden after they
had raced like a pair of sprinters
around the last turn and down
the stretch.
