YANKS SEEM SURE WINNERS New York, July 25.—(U.R) -Roger Peckinpaugh. Connie Mack and Walter Johnson cun cease worry ing about the Yankees, because It seems now that nothing can stop the Yanks front grabbing the Am iricari league pennant. So the managers of Cleveland. Philadelphia and Washington, who have been anxiously awaiting a Yankee slump because of casual ties, art free to forget that the MeCarthyruen are In the league and i can proceed with their second-place battle unmolested. All o{ a Yankee slump were blasted yesterday when the New Yorkers went out and overwhelm ed the As, 9 to 3. although three of Joe McCarthy’s best players were r.pectatuts at the game. CaUkcr Bill Dickey was out on sulpenekwi, Babe Ruth, the erstwhile liyme run king, was out with a leg injury, and outfielder Earl ComWWas nursing a lame shoulder' — Deeply these handicaps, the Yanks played magnificently behind r n;r talented left-hander. Vernon Gomez, to send his arch rival. Lefty Grove, and fellow Mackmen to a crushing defeat. It was Gomez’s 17ttT victory in 21 starts. This victory enabled the "crippled" Yanks to depart on their western trip with a first-p ace lead of 10 games over the runner-up Indians. their longest lead of the year. Little Joe Sewell, the pride of Tuscaloosa, made mockery of the famous Robert Moses Grove by smacking out five hits in five times up. One of them was a home run. The Yanks tallied six runs in the seventh inning. The A's got their three runs in the ninth. This defeat dropped the Mack-

THE Davis Cup preliminaries were expected to eliminate the teams of every nation exj»pt England and the United States. Then Uncle Sam and John Bull were going to swap serves for the privilege of meeting France, holder of the cup. This order of things had become almost a continual habit, and no one in tennis circles seriously doubted that 1932’s results would be the tame Then along came Germany. Germany, with her singles aces, Daniel Prenn and Gottfried Von Cramm. Germany stacked up against England.

'Prussia's iron fist has again been raised, and her enemies will soon be scattered.” The prince denounced Marxism and attacked the regime of Soviet Russia. "Prussia has freed herself fiom hateful foreign imporations,'’ he said. "Reds and Marxists will never again raise their heads on her sacred soil. "Boys are now playing soldiers in every Prussian village, wereas pacifist teachers after the war discouraged such games.” August Wilhe'm rebuked the Bavarian government for its opposition to Hitler's fascists, and paid glowing tribute to the Nazi chief. The prince’s declarations inspired Alfred Hugenberg and the nationa ists to greater efforts to increase their vote in next Sunday's rceichstag elections. The enemies of the Hohenzollerns and the Von Papen regime also brought up their big election guns for the final week ct the campaign, and one militant editor demanded a plebiscite to unseat President Von Hindenburg and impeach the supreme court. The editor, Fritz Gerlich of the Catholic Political. Review, charged that Defense Minister Gen. Kart Von Schleicher was seeking to overthrow the Republican constitution and re-establish the monarchy. He alleged that the appointment by the president of a reich's commissioner in Prussia violated the constitution. The editor said he was ready to prove that the ex-kaiser influenced the supreme court. Gerlich also said he had evidence that Von Schleicher and Hitler had entered a secret pact and that members of the Von Papen cabinet knew nothing about it. Gen. Von Rundstedt, military administrator of Berlin and Brandenburg, suppressed the newspaper Volkszeitung for five days for ! printing an article captioned “Masters and Lackeys." It intimated J that the military was curtailing i rights of private citizens, similar i to conditions before the World s war. The military already had sus- • pended the communist newspaper “Rote Fahne." 1 Politicians doubted whether the e “national opposition,” the Nazis i and ntaionalists, could win an abso--1 lute majority, in the new reichstag - and said a working agreement with e the Catholic and center parties was imperative.

AMERICA'S waning hopes for victory in the decathlon, or all-around championship, at the Olympics, have perked up considerably since Big Jim Bausch, of Kansas City, bettered the Olympic record in winning the recent trials for this event. When Jess Mortenson, the American champion, was lost to the American team through a technical ity, hopes that we might have a chance to win this event went a-glimmering. True, we had the smiling and capable Barney Berlinger to fall back upon, and there was Jim Stewart, of Southern California, and that husky Indian athlete of Haskell Institute. Wilson Charles, -but not one of this trio compared favorably with Finland’s arvo Yrjola, who captured the Olympic event at Amsterdam in 1928, with a record score of

The Daily Express, commenting on Senator Borah’s statement on international debts, said it would lie premature “to read into Borah s words a new determination of the [ American people to face the war [ debt problem in a realist way. The ! Immense column of American public opinion still is rigidly against even revision. However, we should say that Borah is a considerate (straw in the wind now beginning to blow."

Bausch in winning the trial event recently at Evanston, 111., bettered Yrjola s Olympic mark by almost fifty points, his final score bein<t 8102.25. And his sensational victory has done much to bolster American hopes of victory in this event. This ten-event championship is probably, next to the marathon title, the most coveted championship of the Olympics. It is an event, which more than any other tests a man’s skill, strength and versatility. He must be an outstanding performer in ten different forms of sport. He must be a sprinter, a middle-distance runner, ' a pole vaulter, a hurdler, a high [ jumper, a broad jumper, a shot putter and a discus thrower , Back in 1912 Jim Thorpe, one of the foremost all-around athletes in
