National Leaguers, still smart

the Yankee skipper for the
fourth straight time in the mid

4-3. 8-3 and 80 in the last
three years.

CHICAGO, July 10. - The
White Sox. it seems obvious nows
are the Yankees chief challen-
gers in the American League
pennant race. Even their mana
ger, Paul Richards, admits it.
Richards could afford to be ex-
pansive after his second-place
team walloped Cleveland. 14-2
and 81, yesterday before Comis-
key Parks largest day crowd Of
the season, 43,419.
The Indians heralded pitch
ing strength didn't mean a thing
against the well-balanced White
Sox, who moved five games be-
hind the champion Yanks by
winning four Of five from Cleve-
land from Friday through Sum
day.
Cautious Confidence.
II think we have enough bal
ance and pitching help to make
a good run for the money" Rich
ards said.
The dour manager is especially
charged up over the performance
of Virgil Trucks. the cast off from
the Tigers and Browns who has
won five straight for Chicago.
1--WE had to find couple OF
front-line pitchers to stay in
the race, and Trucks has been a
god-send," said Richards, who
is just about Soured on Rogovin
as a starter.
Trucks won yesterdays finale,
81, with a six-hit performance,
although he needed help with one
out in the ninth from Billy
Pierce. the White Sox ace.
Richards also admits he may
have an antidote for the COL
lapsing Rogovin (5-10, not to
mention the struggling Joe Dob
son (5-5), in 21-year-old Mike
Fornieles. who won yesterdays
opening 14-2 walkaway.
Fornieles now has a To record
and Trucks 10-4, including his
efforts at st. Louis before he
came here in mid-June. For
nieleS, a Cuban, came here this
spring from Washington in a
trade for Chuck Stobbs.
Won rs Out of 81.
Although overshadowed by the
recent collapse of the Yankees,
the surge of the White Sox has
been terrific. They have won
Is of their 81 games since
June 13.
At that time the team was in
fifth place, 13 games behind the
f1rSt-place Yankees and 512
games behind the second-place
Indians.
Thus, the White Sox have
gained eight games on the Yanks
and nine on the Indians in just
about one month.
Even Al Lopez, the Cleveland
manager, conceded the Sox must
be regarded solid pennant
threat. Lopez had all but Bob
Feller OF his heralded staff
whipped here over the week end.
That included Mike Garcia
Early Wynn, Art Houtteman and
Bob Lemon.
1T was only a few weeks ago
that the White Sox seemed to
be fighting just for second place,
some 13 games out of first"
Lopez said. I've contended
right along they had good bal
ance and I think this race will
be tight right down to the finish.
We're not out. but neither are
the Yanks in"

Shoppers Economy-Minded

Shoppers were more economy
minded this year. While tho
number of sales increased sub
stantially from a year ago. tho
average sale was smaller. Toys
sportswear and small gifts were
in strong demand, but big items,
especially in home furnishings
moved slowly.
Most of the stores said >TV
and appliance sales staged a
comeback and cited the recent
closing of large appliance chains,
which narrowed the competition.
Basement stores and bargain de-
partments did much better than
average.
Children's wear was another
active spot, but women's ready
to-wear sales varied. Active in
some stores, it was described as
$3.50 and weak in others. Mems
furnishings also showed diverse
trends.
On December 10, area de-
partment store sales since Janu-
airy l, 1852, were 8 per cent
behind a year earlier, while
downtown department store
sales were off S per cent.
These decreases probably will be
narrowed slightly by the years
end.
