ner of the Phillies demanded q
showdown with Owner Bob Car
penter today over what he termed
the "Gestapo tactics" of having
players trailed by a private
detective.
Carpenter disclosed yesterday
he had hired a private detective
to check on the after-work habits
of some of his players. The
owner spoke up after a private
investigator was arrested Tues
day night when Hammer reported
to police he was being tailed.
"I resent this and ] intend to
do something about it," the 27-
year-old player said today. "This
stuff of treating me and other
ball players like 2-year-olds is
going to wreck our club. We can
win the pennant. We have a
better team than in so when he
won.

Eastern Rivals
End Trip With
ShoddyR Records
Ruschi's Fifth'Win
Puts Cards on Top
As Dodgers FoIter
By the Asseeiosed Press

The champion Yankees came
home today from a triumphant
tour of the West, where they
beat the strongest teams in the
American League on their home
grounds eight out Of 10 times.
With a dozen games imme-
diately ahead against the East
ern tailenders, this looks like
the big Yankee push to the top.
The Yankees are one game
behind Cleveland at the mo-
ment, but now it's the Indians
turn to take on the Western
powers. New York is the only
Eastern team above sixth place.
On the invasion just ended
New York was the only travel
ing team with anything like a
winning record. Washington
won of 9, Boston 2 of 10 and
Philadelphia l of 8.
The Western teams showed the
power in the National League,
too. but here they were the in
vaders instead of the home
teams. Three of the four broke
even or better in the East.
Cards Jump to Top.
The Cardinals jumped from
fourth to first with a 6-3 record.
They have a single Eastern
game left tonight as they stop
off in Pittsburgh for a makeup
contest with the Pirates.
Milwaukee also won six of nine
and moved from seventh to
fourth. The Cubs broke even at
SIS. Only Cincinnati faltered,
losing six of nine.
With the teams travelling, just
one other game in addition to
the Cards-Pirates encounter is
on tonight's schedule. The
Giants open f1ve-game set at
Philadelphia.
st. Louis grabbed the National
League lead yesterday on the
combination of a 80 victory
over the Giants and defeats for
Brooklyn and the Phillies. The
Cubs swamped the Dodgers, 9-3,
with all nine runs coming in the
eighth inning. Milwaukee de-
| feated Philadelphia 6.2 and
Pittsburgh shaded Cincinnati,
80.
The Yankees made it two
straight over the White Sox, 80.
! Cleveland won its seventh in a
row. So, over Boston. Balti-
more beat Washington. 5-3, and
Detroit edged the Athletics, 4-3.
Fifth Win for Raschi.
Vic Raschi, branded as too
complacent to stick with the
Yankees this season, pitched his
first National League shutout
and his fifth consecutive VIC
tory for the Cardinals. He re-
tired the last Is Giants in order
after giving up five singles in
the first five innings.

Texan, Up for Hour
Over Canada, Flies

BY the Associated Press

SHANNON. Ireland. Aug. 21-
A tall Texan in a 10-gallon hat
stretched an hours flight ovel
Canada in his single engine plane
into a transatlantic hop today
that took him to ireland by way
of Paris.
Thomas H. Danaher. 80. In
leather jacket and fawn trousers
arrived at Shannon Airport from
the United States Naval Base al
Argentia. Newfoundland, after q
1914 hour fight marred only by
bad weather about 1000 miles
off the Irish coast. The distance
covered was about 3,l00 miles.
Canadian red tape barring
flights of single engine planes
farther than gliding distance OF
the Atlantic shoreline appeared
to have been disregarded. Maybe
the Argentia base could be con-
sidered United States soil
Canadian officials at st. Johns
refused to say whether any regu-
lations were actually broken. one
explaining:
1--WE are not at liberty to dis
cuss the flight"
Recalls Corrigan Flight.
The fight of Mr. Danaher, q
six-footer from Wichita Falls
Tex. recalled the feat of Douglas
(Wrong Way Corrigan, who
piloted a second hand plane from
New York to Ireland in 1888 after
being refused permission to head
out over the Atlantic.
Mr.. Corrigan insisted later he
was headed for California and
got his directions mixed. All Mr.
Danaher said was that he was
going up for an hours flight.
The Texan, q former United
States Marine jet pilot who
mines for uranium around Moab
Utah. wouldn't comment on how
he stretched the hours flight
into the long ocean hop. He
evaded questions about Cana
dian regulations on planes OF
his type.
But United States naval off,
cials at Argentia. noted Mr..
Danaher had loaded up auxil-
larry gas tanks in his single-en-
CINE Beech Bonanza with enough
fuel for 22-hour flight. Shan
non officials had been advised
not to register surprise If he
landed there.
Couldn't Land In Paris.
Actually he was aiming for
Paris. He got over Paris in the
dark, but couldn't land because
his plane lacked adequate night
landing equipment. He decided
then to come on to Shannon.
Mr.. Danaher said the flight
was something he always
dreamed about during his war
time experiences in World War
II and in Korea.
Today he took of by automo-
bile for a trip to Cork to visit
the birthplace of his father,
who emigrated to America sc
years ago.
He will fly to Paris by daylight,
tomorrow, seeking a reunion
with some wartime buddies
Then he plans to fly back to the
North American mainland, per-
haps with a stopover in Iceland
His family expects him back
home around September /.
Regulations won't bother him
here. The Irish don't care who
