Caps Bow Out as 3 Groups Lose
Fiqht for Time to Save Team

That same opinion was voiced
last night by officials of the
Touchdown Club, who even sent
a representative to Philadelphia
in a last-minute effort to save
the team.
Late Monday, Walter Ogus, a
Washington businessman, helped
launch a move to raise funds to
buy the team.
II called nine men," he said,
land Immediately had nine men
ready to go along with me. Plenty
.of fans would have risked some
money to try to save the Caps.
There just wasn't enough time. -
The Touchdown Club venture
was destined for failure from the
outset inasmuch as Ralph Shaugh-
messy, the clubs representative,
went to Philadelphia not only to
obtain the franchise but also to
pick up two good players from
other teams in the league.
Expected to Get Players.
Touchdown Club officials seemed
to be Of the opinion that other
teams in the league would gladly
sacrifice a player or two to keep
the Caps in business. Maurice
Podoloff, president of the National
Basketball Association. said he
could not ask teams, fighting for
playoff berths, to give up good
players. The Touchdown Club
wanted to promote the Caps as a
civic venture with proceeds going
to charity, but felt the team
needed additional strength to put
| it over.
With Washington out, the NBA
schedule is in need of revision and
Podoloff hoped to have at least
| part of that task completed today
The players, meanwhile, pre-
pared to move out. Coach Bones

Majors Batk In Action
By Associated Press

Major league baseball, after talk ing time out for three days to settle the annual All-Star game, swings back into action today with most of the interest centered on four teams battling for the American League lead.
 The next two weeks in the Ameri- can race will go long way toward settling the pennant, and the Chi cago White Sox, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians well know it.
 Boston, one game back of the leading White Sox, tackles Chicago in the main dish as hostilities re- sume with twi-night double header at Comiskey Park. Chicago has a 14-game home stand, meeting all four of the eastern clubs on their western tour.
 The other top drawer attraction is a night game at Cleveland, where the New York Yankees hope to get back on the victory trail after their disastrous experience at Boston where they dropped three straight last weekend. New York is two games behind Chicago, while the Indians are four
 Meanwhile, the high-stepping Brooklyn Dodgers, riding on an 8l2 game edge over the second place New York Giants in the National loop, open a 12-game home stand. The Chicago Cubs, beaten seven times in II games this year by the Bums. start the Ebbets Field festiv- ities tonight.
 Over III the Polo Grounds, the Giants are prepared to defend their second place against the St. Louis Cardinals in an afternoon encounter. The Cards are in third, one game back of the Giants.
 Boston's Red SoX. moving at a torrid clip of late, plan to send Mel Parnell Q0-5) and Leo Kieley Q-O against the White Sox in the first game of their four-ga series. The teams clash again Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Chicago has Saul Rogovin (5-4) and Joe Dobson (6-3) ready to shoot at Boston, and the management looks for a crowd of some 50,O00 for the opening fire works.
 The White Sox have won ' of II games from Boston this year, four out of five in Comiskey Park.

Five Fat Games for
  Raiiniers
By Associated Press

Pacific Coast League ballparks vii be dark tonight while the team travel. and with the exception oi the Seattle Rainiers. all clubs can probably use the rest.
 The Rainiers, who now lead the pack by five fat games as a result of their successful invasion of San Francisco, are showing no sign of a let-up. To make matters even more pleasant, perhaps, for Horns by'sS Horrors, they play the Seals again starting Friday, this time al Seattle.
 Seattle dusted off San Francisco, 5-2, esesterday to win four games in the ~Series of five Mary Grissom the~ leagues winningest finger racked up Nc. IA for the season via an eight hitter,
 me second place Hollywood Stars fell five games behind by succumb- ing to Portland, 3-2. The Beavers came from behind to win it in the eighth on rally launched by Joe Brovia's 22nd homer of the year.
 Sacramento maintained it's pre- carious perch in third place by goose egging Los Angeles. 20. l, took the Solons pitcher, Glenn FL liott, just one hour and 27 minutes to complete his four hitter before a crowd of only 1910.
 San Diego's Bob Kerrigan also cranked up a 20 shutout, beating thes fourth place Oakland Acorns on another four hitter.

Crewman Lost In Long Yacht Race

HONOLULU, July 12 -tR-- U. S. Navy ships continued today an all most hopeless search for crewman who toppled yesterday from the second place sloop in the 2,225-mile Los Angeles to- Honolulu yacht race

NEW YORK, July 12 IT, Rex I,avne and Rocky Marciano, each hopeful of injecting young blood into the heavyweight championship pie ture, trade punches tonight in what promises to be 10 rounds or less of real slugging at Madison Square Garden.
 A shot at the heavyweight title awaits the winner. And the men who make the betting odds figure it'll be Layne. He is the 8i2 to 5 choice.
 The 23-year-old Layne, fistic nride of the Rockies from Lewiston, Utah, and the likeable quiet 26-year- ola Marciano from Brockton, Mass. have almost identical records.

Giant B-36s
 Number Only S7;; May Be- Obsolete

WASHINGTON, July 12 - tP - Some House members were reported greatly surprised today at testi- mony that the nations fleet of giant B36 bombers numbers only 87 and may already be obsolete.
 Legislators said Air Force offi- cials testified at closed session of the Armed Services committee yes- terday that it has just 87 of the huge intercontinental bombers ready to strike atomic counterplows in event of war.
 Some House members had appar- ently believed the number ran into several hundred. An Air Force of ficial was quoted as saying another 6 are in the process of being mod ernized for jet-assisted takeoffs.
 The Air Force said it had ordered or received delivery of total of ITO B-36s. Deliveries were halted for a time to change over from all piston type engines to a combina- tion of four jet and six piston en- zines.
 Other committee members, also asking not to be named, said current model atom bombs may be consid- erably smaller although more powerful than the bulky models used in World War II.
 If that is true, they speculated, smaller and less expensive planes than the s3.50o,o00 B-36s might be used to deliver the bombs.
 The B-36 went into production in 1941.
