phia while the Tigers are battling
the Yanks and Red Sox. The
Indians trail by Az games. The
Red Sox are 612 games back.
In the Tigers last New York
appearance about q month ago,
Rolfe's men came in with a three
game advantage. The Yankees
took two out of three and just
missed a sweep when the Bengals
rallied to win the finale after
being one strike from defeat.
The two rivals met two weeks
ago in Detroit in a virtual first
place tie. The Tigers proceeded
to whip the Yankees three straight
and have been enjoying a lead
ranging from 212 to Az games
ever since. They own a 81 sea-

Stengel nominated Allie Rey-
|nolds 10-1D, one of his clutch
pitchers in an effort to get off
in front. Rolfe countered with
Hal White (4-4), who shut out
the Yankees the last time he faced
them.
Vic Raschi and Tommy Byrne
are slated to pitch for the Yankees
in the, other two games. If any
help is needed, Tom Ferrick and
Joe Page will be in the bullpen,
well rested and ready for the call.
Rolfe intends to use Art Houtte-
man. his ace, in the second game.
Houtteman already has beaten the
Yankees four times. The Detroit
pilot was undecided on his third
pitcher, but it is expected he will
call on Fred Hutchinson. Marlin
Stuart and Hank Borowy will be
available in the f1reman's role.
Virgil Trucks and Ted Gray are
sidelined by arm injuries.
AS Stengel pointed out to his
players last night, this is it for
the second-place Yankees. Trail
ing Detroit by 3la games, they
must capture two of the three
games to stay in the running.

cannot afford to lose many more.

bearden Gets His Shot
At Indians Tonight,
Facing Bob FeIIer
By Burton Hawkins

Gene Bearden. the handsome
gent who pitched Cleveland to the
1948 pennant. now would like to
figure in tossing his old team out
of the 1850 race. Tonight he'll
get his first opportunity when the
slumping Indians invade Griffith
Stadium to battle the Mats in the
opener of a three-game series.
Possessor Of q low-breaking
knuckler which veered off course
last year but which recently has
shown signs of getting in the
groove. ex-Indian Bearden is con-
fident he can regain the effective
ness which made him 20-game
winner two years ago.
Bob Feller, in pursuit of his 18th
victory, will oppose the Mats.
Feller has started against them
twice previously this season and
was shelled on both occasions al
though getting one decision.
IL Runs i'm Seven Games.
Bumped into third place as the
result of dropping a double-head-
er to Chicago Sunday, the Indians
recently have seen their power
short-circuited. In their last seven
games they have accumulated only
II runs and in three of those
contests were restricted to one
run.
Bearden isn't irked at his for
mer mates in general, but he has
a particular peeve against Man
ager Lou Boudreau and General
Manager Hank Greenberg. He
believes Boudreau gave him a
rough deal as a pitcher and feels
Greenberg owes him part of the
money the Mats paid to acquire
him early this month.
When the Mats plucked Bearden
from the waiver list. it was Bou-
dreau's admitted hope that Gene
would be able to beat other flag
contenders and thus aid the In
dians. He failed in starts agains.
Detroit and Boston, although he
pitched creditably, then clicked
with a win over New York.
Now Bearden is in a spot to
upset Boudreau's strategy. He'll
be meeting the Indians in a park
where they have trouble. losing
five of eight to the Mats at Grif-
fifth Stadium this year although
winning seven of eight at Cleve-
land.
Mele and Noren to Play.
Clark Griffith likes Bearden's
chances to stage a comeback with
the Mats. His only problem is to
keep his knuckler breaking at the
right spot" the Mats boss says
"His arm is all right. He figures to
improve with steady work and
with us he'll get it."
The Mats will be fortified by the
return of Sam Mele to first base
and Irv Noren to center field. Both
have been nursing arm injuries
Mele as the result of a collision
with the Yankees Phil Rizzutc
and Noren as the aftermath OF
being bopped by a Dick Littlefield
pitch at Boston.
Missing from first base with a
sprained ankle since August 10
Mickey Vernon is unlikely to see
service in the Cleveland series
except as a pinch hitter. Mickey
has been a 1875 hitter since he was
obtained from the Indians in mid
June.
Mele has been the Mats hottest
hitter lately. batting safely in nine
straight games since he started
filling in for Vernon at first base.
Over that stretch, he has hit AL
and raised his season average to
.305.

CHOOSE HYMN
OF THE MONTH
National Federation of Music
Clubs Choose Hymn For
This Month
ORIGIN OF HYMN

The Hymn of the Month chosen
by the Church Music Department
of the National Federation of Mus
ic Clubs for August is 20 Master,
Let Me Walk with Thee" This
American hymn was written by the
Rev. Washington GLADDEN., a Con-
gregational minister who was born
at Pottsgrove, Pa. He wrote it in
1919 while ne was editor of the
tStill Hour" the devotional section
of the paper Sunday Afternoon,
which was published at Springfield,
Mass. GLADDEN. was great believ-
er in America and its democratic
institutions and was a leader in
the awakening of new social con-
science and in the Church's move
ments for social services. He was
a pastor in Columbus, Ohio for 32
years.
This hymn is an honest cry for
human need, the need of divine
companionship. 1t reflects very
clearly the conflict of the days in
which it was written and of the
life of GLADDEN. himself. 1t is dis
tinctly prayer hymn, a prayer of
quiet dedication to service. 1t is
admirably adapted to moments OF
quiet conservation when the con-
gregation or group is in hushed,
reverent mood. To sing it at a
time of large crowds or volatile
enthusiasm would seriously misin-
terpret it's purpose and mar its
meaning.
The tune, Maryton, by Henry
Peace Smith, was the one preferred
by DR.. GLADDEN. for his hymn. The
composer was a clergyman of the
Church of England, who was the
Canon of Gibraltor from 1892 to
his death in 1898. 1t was first pub
lished in the Church Hymns with
Tunes in 1874. The quiet, earnest
measure of Maryton makes beau
tiful devotional accompaniment fol
a social prayer.
o Master, Let Me Walk With Thee
o Master, let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret, help me bear
The strain of love, the fret Of care
Help me the slow of heart to move
BY some clear, winning ward Of
love;
Teach me the wayward feet tc
stay,
And guide them in the homewart
way.
Teach me Thy patience! still witt
Thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet anc
strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong
In hope that sends shining ray
Far down the futures broadening
way,
In peace that only Thou canst give
With Thee, o Master, let me live
Amen
