Keyed-Up Sox Play Yanks;
Healthier Griffs Take HOPE
Marion Sticks
To Righthonders
In Bid for Lead
By the Associated Press

Keyed up despite the 80 lick
ing they took at the hands Of the
Orioles Jim Wilson yesterday.
the White Sox today planned to
show the slumping Yankees
nothing but righthanders in the
three-game battle for the Amer
ican League lead which opens in
Chicago tonight.
The White Sox's seven-game
winning streak died with Will
sons brilliant two-hit effort, but
they remained high on spirit and
pitching-if short on punch.
Were keyed up" General
Manager Frank Lane said, land
I think we'll give them a battle
all the way. I look for us to
take two out of three. if not the
whole SERIES"
Lane Backs Strategy
Lane backed up Manager
Marty Marion's decision to start
Connie johnson (2-0) against
Tommy Byrne G-2) tonight and
follow up tomorrow night and
Thursday afternoon with Dick
Donovan t12-2) and Virgil
Trucks (9-6). The Yanks plan
to use Bob Turley Q1-O tomor-
row, with Thursdays starter in
doubt.
"Marty's smart" Lane said.
With righthanders pitching,
the Yanks will have Eddie Rob-
inson, Irv Noren and Joe Collins
in the lineup instead of Elston
Howard. Bill Skowron and Hank
Bauer.
Remember. we went into first
place against New York last
month by beating the Yanks
with righthanders on Friday and
Saturday, only to get beat twice
when we followed with lefthand-
ers in a Sunday double -header."
Drop Nine Of Is
That double header on June
10 put the Yankees back on top
with a two-game lead-the same
they have today. Since
then the Yanks have won IA
and lost 10, although they've
dropped nine of their last 13.
Over the same period the White
Sox have a 1912 record.
The White Sox have won
seven Of their last eight games
but only their pitching has been
impressive. Before being blanked
by Baltimore yesterday their
last four victories were by one
run and twice they had to come
from behind in the ninth inning
to win.
"Payoff clutch pitching has
been doing it," Marion said.
We're IN this race and we in
tend to stay in it. Now let's see
what happens against those
Yankees"
What may we'll happen is an
wen tighter scramble. The
hird-place Indians, only three
off the pace, tonight open

Sievers Finds
Ronge;; Yost's
Return Helps
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stad CORRESPONDENT

CLEVELAND, July 19.-With
Roy Sievers finally living up tc
expectations and Eddie Yost ap-
parently ready to play regularly
at last, the Senators now hope
to take their eyes of the yawn-
ing cellar and start moving to-
ward sixth place. five and hall
games up the ladder.
Riding a rare three-game win
ming streak after beating the
Athletics, 6-3, at Kansas City
yesterday, the Senators move UP
in class tonight when they tangle
with the Indians in the opener
of a three-game series. The
O'Clock game will be televised by
Washington's WTTG.
Sievers, whose short-circuited
power has been one of the main
reasons for the clubs sputtering
apparently has found the range
He has batted .425 in his last IL
games, blasting five home runs
and three doubles and humping
across IL runs in that period.
Roy banged two homers and
Ia double and walked for a per-
feet afternoon yesterday, while
Yost-starting at third base for
the first time since June 21-
celebrated his return to regular
activity with a home run his first
time at bat.
YOst Expects to Stay In
If Eddie's chronically sore
shoulder doesn't react unfavor-
ably, he will remain in the
lineup.
II think I'm all right now,"
Eddie said, "but 1t may take a
day or two to find out definitely.
If the soreness doesn't return
after I play couple of games,
I think I'll be able to stay in the
lineup"
The Senators slowly are re-
turning to normal health. Bob
Porterfield, bothered by an ach-
ing back, says he'll be ready to
pitch in Detroit, and Maury Nc
Dermott may be able to fire in
a day or two. Second Baseman
Pete Runnels, recuperating from
his appendectomy, is due to join
the club here and start working
out. Jerry Snyder, Runnels'
stand-in, returned to the lineup
yesterday after an injury.
Yost's return tightens the
clubs defense, which looked its
brightest yesterday when the in
field reeled off five double plays.
Shortstop Jose Valdivielso and
Snyder teamed up in four of
them. with Yost starting an
other as Ted Abernathy won his
second decision with an assist
from Camilo Pascual.

SEND A KID TO CAMP

Shy Boy Find Himself
Summer is forever when you're

Summer is forever when you're
13 and lonely.
In the winter, Don, who lives
in a small apartment with his
mother and dad, can. go to
school. though he lacks the self
confidence that would make it
easy to make friends.
But summer days are empty
days. Don's family lives in a
small apartment building, where
there are no other children his
age. There are no other children
his age in the neighborhood,
either.
So he goes down to watch his
father at work in the afternoon.
Or he goes to the swimming pool
that's not far away. But Don
doesn't know how to swim. so
the pools not much fun.
The only child in the home,
Don looks to his parents for
companionship, or finds friends
of whose vagabond habits his
mother does not approve.
Still Cares
Don is lonely and uncertain,
but he hasn't given up caring.
He loves and is proud of his
lively cat that he raised from a
kitten He gets out the town
paper. too, and shows his name
on the front page along with
other members of his graduating
class.
Camp? Don isn't sure about
camp. He's never been there,
and he's afraid of it. He tried
the Boy Scouts, but it never
seems to be the rewarding ex-
perience everyone hoped it would
be.
Don is getting help now from
an expert in emotional problems,
who will try to teach him how
to make friends.
Camp will help. Even though
he's not sure he'll like it, he'll
give it try.
Long, empty summers and
restless winters will kill the
vitality of this boy, who looks
as if he would have been at
home with Tom Sawyer and
Huck Finn.
This summer is important.
You can't build a raft for him
for adventuring on the Missis-
sippi, but you can send him
to camp through the Evening
Star Camp Fund.
Believes in Fun
For Don has never quite lost
every boys birthright-he still
believes in fun.
Camp can help prove to him
that he was right not to give
up hope.
