Yours is a necessary, step
to be followed by other in

My sincerest congratula-

Recently your newspaper
ran an excellent series of
articles exposing malprac-
tices employed by certain
unethical automobile dealers
in the resale of used cars.
The contents of these
timely articles, capably' writ
ten by your reporter, Miss
Miriam Gutenberg, ,empha-
sized the observations of our
own organization on this
subject. We have had many
complaints over the past
several years.
The Star has rendered an
invaluable service to the area

to extend to your newspaper

our warmest congratula-

Congratulations to The
Star for publishing, and to
Miriam Gutenberg for report
ing, the manner in which
many unwary citizens are
bilked by INSCRIPTIONS used
car dealers. This legalized
thievery has existed much
too long. Now that these
shoddy practices have been
brought out in bold belief. ]
only hope that our Commits
sioners will take immediate
action "to correct this Situa
ton either by regulation or
law" as suggested by the
Automotive Trade Associa-

There is no doubt that the
honest used-car dealers OF
the city as we'll as the general
public will welcome correc-
tive action.

BOSTON, July 10 (AP).-
Cleveland may be out OF first
place but not the headlines.
The irate Indians today fea-
tured a manager protesting a
game he can't protest, and an
outfielder refusing to pay a
fine he hasn't received.
1t happened last night when
Joe Gordon and Minnie Minoso
we're thrown out by Plate Um-
pire Frank Umont during
Cleveland's 81 Squeaker over
Boston.
In the zany top half Of the
eighth inning, Fenway Park
looked more like a carnival
ground than an American
League field.
After the umpires called in
reference on play, Manager
Gordon stomped and ranted.
Several minutes and harsh
words later he got the thumb.
Against baseball's conduct
rules, Gordon rushed from the
dugout following his Danish
ment to announce he would
protest the game.
Umont said he couldn't pro-
test in his role of outcast.

While Leftflelder Minoso
was out Of the box squawking
Red Sox Pitcher Leo Kiely fired
two strikes across the plate,
Umont called them, signaled
Minnie was out, and touched
off another rhubarb. The
count had been ii.
Minoso threw his bat just
above the ground and Umont
had to Jump to avoid it. Minnie
then charged the umpire.
Teammates jumped in to pull
him of, but Umont said he
would file a report to Joe
Cronin, American League presi-
dent, claiming he was bumped
by Minoso.

In Armour
BY the Associated Press

Round Table, 1858 horse of
the year and worlds leading
money winner, can move within
striking distance of the once
unthought of SIS million mark
in earnings today with victory
in the $4,000 added Laurance
Armour Memorial Handicap at
Arlington Park.
Travis Kerr's hard-hitting
5-year-old colt already has
banked $1,452,639. And if all
of the eight others named for
the mile and ne-siXteenth race
face the starting barrier, vic
tory will be worth $4,000. With
nine starters the race would
gross $55,150.
Round Table, with Steve
Brooks in the saddle, faces no
easy task, although the last
time out he set an American
grass course record of 1:47H5
for a mile and one-eighth in
winning the Stars and Stripes
Handicap. For today's race he
picks up 1872 pounds, the same
as he carried in the Stars and
Stripes, and gives from IA to 81
pounds to his rivals.
3-tO-5 FavOrite
Round Table may not be as
proficient on the dirt as he is
on the grass. Last summer he
was beaten three times on Ar
lington's dirt track. Neverthe-
less, he is the 3-to-5 favorite
today against such rivals as
BardStown (l18), a doubtful
starter, and Terra Firma Q14
