to swim the English Channel to-
day and returned to Calais after
covering half the distance to
Dover in six hours.
The 32-year-old Cuban left
Calais at 12:45 am. today (6:45
pm, EST. Wednesday,.
Cortinas, suffering from cramps
was pulled from the water by boat
men accompanying him.
Earlier, it had been reported
from Dover, on the English side
of the Channel. that fresh north
easterly winds had stirred up
choppy seas in that area.

after Jim Rickert, 6-foot 6-inch,

Rickert signed a conditional

Wilson Of Buffalo
Pitches No-Hitter
By the Assoeioted Press

Jim Wilson, Buffalo righthander,
is the proud possessor of a no
hitter today, even if it is only an
abbreviated job.
The 200-pound 6-footer last
night pitched the Bisons to q SO
triumph over Jersey City in a
game that was halted by rain
while the Little Giants were at
bat in the seventh inning.
Wilson, making only mis- second
Buffalo start since his purchase
from Baltimore a week ago, al
lowed only four runners to reach
base, all on walks. He famed
three. Two of the passes came
with one out in the seventh. Rain
halted the game at that point, and
the umpires called it after delay
of As minutes.
1t was the second no-hitter this
season, and the first by a Buffalo
pitcher since 1943 When Rufe
Gentry accomplished the feat in
an thinning triumph over Newark.
The only other International
League no-hitter this season was
turned in by Alf1e Porto. Toronto

Yonks Pay Tribute
At Dedication
OF Ruth Plaza
By the Associated Pres.

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-Two
short blocks back of Yankee
Stadium will help perpetuate
the name of the most famous
Yankee of them all-Babe Ruth.
Babe Ruth Plaza" was dedi-
Gated last night before a crowd
of 5000, including the entire
present-day Yankee team.
Manager Casey Stengel and
his American League leaders
stood, in uniforms, around the
speakers stand as tribute was
paid to the late home run king.
Despite the honor to a great
player this occasion makes my
heart a little heavy" said STEM
gel.
Bill Dickey, a Yankee coach
and former teammate OF the
Babe, said:
Il consider myself lucky to
have been a friend and team
mate of Babe Ruth. This plaza
will keep alive the memory OF
the great American idol"

Cuban Quits After Six Hours
As Channel Seas Turn Choppy

rolled heavy waves directly into
his face,
N When the boat that accom-
panied him returned to Calais,
Cortinas was lying on the deck
asleep, covered with blankets. His
wife Elda stood over him.
HE was magnificent" one crew
member exclaimed.
Emile Ransom, official timer who
made the trip in the boat, said:
"Cortinas is a superb swimmer. I
am sure he would have beaten the
record if conditions had been any
good at all. It was too cold, that
is what beat him."
The exhausted Cuban went di-
rectly to his hotel room at Calais
and fell sound asleep again.
When the stocky 190-pound
Cuban clothing store salesman left
here, a crowd of about 100 news
papermen and curious onlookers
were on the desolate windswept
beach to see him off.
In the fishing boat accompany
ing him were his wife, Ransom
and a crew Of five.
Cortinas, who won the honor to
make the Channel attempt by
winning swimming competition
sponsored by the Cuban govern
ment, arrived here without a
trainer.
After his return to Calais today
he said he would attempt again to
swim the Channel in about two
weeks.

Cleveland's baseball crown was
slightly askew today, needing
only a couple of more nudges to
knock it off completely.
While Mike Garcia has been a
pleasant surprise for the Indians
scoring 10 victories this season, it
is becoming more and more evil
dent that unless Bob Feller and
Bob Lemon get additional much
needed pitching help, that world
championship flag won't be wav-
ing much longer at Cleveland S
Municipal Stadium.
OF Garcia's victories, three have
been shutouts.
OF the highly heralded big five
only Feller and Lemon have been
coming through of late Gene
Bearden, of whom much was ex-
pected after his sensational fresh
man season, has been flop
Steve Gromek, who flashed so
brilliantly in the World Series
has done nothing this season
Gromek has won four games this
season and Bearden seven.
Early Wynn, who took up the
slack during June and July, has
been getting his bumps of late
OF Cleveland's last nine victories
Feller and Lemon have won six.
The Indians went into battle
without Feller and Lemon yester-
day and we're neatly scalped by
the lowly st. Louis Browns. They
took a double defeat that might
prove to be the blow that knocked
them out of the pennant race
The Brownies won by scores OF
1916 and So.
Tribe Drops to Third.
The twin setbacks dumped the
Tribe into third place. a full five
games behind the pace-setting
New York Yankees and a game
and a half behind the Boston Red
Sox. who moved up to second place
in beating the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, 81. in 10 innings.
Faced with the prospect of see
ing their lead over the Red Sox
diminish to only 2l2 games, the
Yankees rallied to score two runs
in the bottom of the ninth to nip
Washington, 4-3.
In the nip-and- tuck National
League race the st. Louis Car
dinals took over first place from
the Brooklyn Dodgers by the
slender margin of a half game.
The Cards outlasted the Gin
