By the Associated Press

The major league pennant
races still were suffering from
congested traffic at the top Of the
heaps today, and as the boys
at the Weather Bureau say. nc
immediate relief is in sight.
In the American League only
2la games separate the first three

escape from Detroit by stopping
red hot Cleveland, 10. AS the
the Tigers bowed to the Mats
Detroit's lead was sliced to 2
games over the Yanks while the

major league season. Raschi, earn
ing his 18th win, allowed but
three singles.
Bobby Feller was the loser.
Chico Hits Again.

in his 23d straight game, scored
the winning run in the 10th in
ming for Chicago's 80 victory
over Boston.
Sam Chapman hit grand-slam
homer and Ferris Fain homered
with two on for Philadelphia S
1873 decision over st. Louis in
the battle for the American
League cellar.
In the National League Robin
Roberts looks like the Phillies
first 20-game winner since the
days of Grover Cleveland Alex
ander.
With old Alex reeling off 81
wins, the Phils copped their first
and only pennant in 1915. Alex
repeated with SO in 1915 and 80
in 1917. but the Phils didn't.
Now comes Roberts, a 23-year-
old lad from Michigan State. driv-

in second place with his 14th win,
a four hitter over Chicago, 1872
Sam Jethroe. Bob Elliott and Roy
Hartsheld each clipped Chicago
pitching for two hits. Jethroe stole
his 28th base.
The Braves, winning seven out
of eight. have been unable to close
much ground on the rushing Phils,
Brooklyn, also moving at a sew
en- = out = of eight pace, scorched
Cincinnati, I'll, for Don New

third, 312 games behind the Phils.
Whitley Lockman's single with
the bases loaded in the eighth
helped the Giants edge Pittsburgh,
80. for their 18th win in IL starts.

Giants remain in fifth place, 10
games off the pace.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The $4,000
Tam o'Shanter golf circus gets
all three rings going at once to-
day and the main attraction is
British Open Champion Bobby
Locke of South Africa.
Locke, in his first American
competition since the 1949 Ma
tional Open and his release from
the PGA doghouse, shares favor
itism with home pro- Lloyd Man
grum in the All-American pro
tourney which starts today.
A field of 80 is in the 72-hole
pro showdown which launches its
first 18-hole round concurrent
with the third round of the ALI
American Women's Open and the
second round of the All-American
Amateur.
The mems pro contingent in
cludeS Mangrum, the 1949 winner:
Sammy Snead, 1850 leading
money winner, and practically
every other name player excepting
Ben Hogan. But the spotlight is
fixed on Locke.
All is supposed to be forgiven
and forgotten regarding Locke's
American ban by the PGA on a
charge of running out on tour
ney commitments last summer.
The exile was ended last April
Is. but Bobby took his sweet time
about coming to these shores.
And he doesn't plan to stay long.
Tossing a flip mo comment to
a query on whether he is happy
to be cavorting again in rich-pay-
ing American Journeys, Locke
said he will return shortly to
England and not reappear in
this country until the 1851 Mas
ters neYt April.
By coping the $4,000 first prize
in the All-American and the
$1,000 top reward in the dove
tailed World meet at Tam
starting next Thursday, Locke
could make his brief visit worth
$l3,500.
Locke won the 1947 All-Amer-
lean in a playoff with Ed Oliver
after each posted a 276. He fin
ished second with 279 behind
Mangrum's winning 277 in 1948.

For nine days-day and night

In Attacks by Israel
BY the Assoeinfad Press

LAKE SUCCESS. Aug. l.
Syria has asked the United
Nations Security Council to take
action to prevent what it called
new attacks on Arab countries by
Israel.
The United Nations published
a cable from Syrian Premier and
Foreign Minister Nazem Koudsi to
Arne Sunds, July president of the
Security Council, yesterday. It
charged Israel with being a
threat to the peace.
The cable claimed ''the Jews
have of late multiplied armed at
tacks against Syria. Egypt. Jor-
dan. and quite recently, against
Lebanon, where civil aircraft
was attacked by a Jewish mill
tary plane"
1t said these actions "consti-
tute f1agrant violations of the
armistice agreements" and de-
manded that the council take the
necessary measures.
Lebanon protested to the United
Nations July 25 that an Israeli
fighter plane fired on an air
liner killing two of the % pas
sengers and endangering nine
Americans who were returning
from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
Israel said the plane was over
her territory at the time and that
warning shots were fired when
the pilot refused orders to land.
