DYKES RESENTS I COCHRANE VIEW White Sox Manager Promises To Make Tiger Pilot Sorry New York, July 17. —(U.R) —Jimmy Dykes is burned up at Mickey Cochrane’s crack tha.t there are 1 only two clubs in the American! league. Cochrane did not specifically say which two teams comprised the circuit but Dykes, manager of the ' Chicago White Sox, slipped the ' shoe on his own foot and assumed his club wasn’t one of them. i ‘ Detroit’s Mr. Cochrane will discover sadly that White Sox are still in the league,” Mickey’s form-| er Philadelphia Athletics teammate said. He gathered that Cochrane meant the Yankees and Tigers were “‘the” learns and took that a persona! affront to ‘ me and my club.” “I don't like the Tigers,” he announced. “First because when : Cochrane left Detroit far the east he said: ‘There ore only two clubs in the American league.’ Well, let me tell you someuiing. We finish the season with three games against the Tigers. Mr. Cochrane may discover It’s a sad case of finding out that Chicago is still in the league.” The situation is strangely reminiscent of a similar occurrance last year in the National league. Bill Terry of the New York Giants made a crack about Brooklyn being in the league and the Dodgers slapped down Mr. Terry’s Giants in the last two games of the season to blast the New Yorkers’ pennajit drive. Dykes figures his team has an excellent chance of finishing second. He thinks he Yankees’ pitch- , (ng staff will win them the pen-

nant. The Yankees seem to bear out Jimmy’s prediction yesterday when! behind Johnny Allen’s two-hit I game, they beat the Vvhi e Sox, 2-| 0. The Tigers lost a full game to the Yankees, dropping to 214 games behind tihe league-leaders with an 8-2 defeat by Philade'phia. [ The St. Louis Browns defeated Washington's Senators, 6-4.. The Cleveland-Boston game was played > on a former date. The St. Louis Cardinals extended (Heir winning streak to 12 straight; with a 2-1 victory over Boston’s Braves, and picked up a game on the Giants, whose lead was cut ‘to four games when they lost, 7-5. to the Cincinati Reds. The Chicago Cubs’ eight-game streak was snapped, 7-5, by the; Phillies. The Brooklyn Dodgers | ended a six-game losing streak with a 9-3 victory over Pittsburgh’s i Pirates. Yesterday’s hero: Veteran Jesse Haines who pitched the St. Louis Cardinals to their 12th straight, victory. o Fort Wayne Youth Drowned Tuesday Wilynedale, 'lnd.. July 17 —(UP) I Paul Thompson, 16.
