RANGER SCORES SECOND VICTORY American Ship Takes Commanding Lead In Hattie For Cup — Newport, R. 1., Aug. 3 — (U.R) High, dry and handsome. Ranger | an dEndeavor II perched on drydock stilts today while their owners circled them—one with pride,' one with despair. Mike Vanderbilt, openly enthus iastic about the white-hulled De-1 fender which has won two crushing America's cup victories, haul | ed the Ranger from the water for no other purpose than to admire j the lines of what he considers the fastest class J yacht ever floated T. O. M. Sopwith had an unhappier motive for cradling his! half million dollar baby in the j ship rack. Desperate because of | Endeavor’s successive lickings of 1 16 and 18 minutes, he wanted to j examine her hull and determine if; she had picked up some impede j meats. After his second straight j defeat yesterday he expressed the j opinion that perhaps the boat had run afoul of a lobster line and , snagged one of the heavy, tin j wieldly pots. Certainly Endeavor II behaved i yesterday as if she were carrying | a drag. For the first five miles ' of the ten-mile weather leg the British challenger performed beautifully. She took the lead at the start and footed out to sea. But as if struck by a shell in her boiler room she suddenly lost all of her drive. In the space of a wave she became a dead thing with no , lift, no life. And, in the space cf five miles Ranger, outrun up until ; that time, gained ten minutes on ; her, and left her behind in the fog that hung over the course. Today's postponement came when Sopwith, right after Endeavor II finished yesterday, hoisted a flag asking the official committee for a one day respite. His request was granted. The ser- : ies will he resumed tomorrow with Ranger heavily favored to j make it three in a row. o Waldorf Takes I^ead In Coaches’ Poll Chicago, Aug. 3 —(UP) — Lynn Waldorf, coach of Northwestern'e big Ten football champions, today i supplanted Gus Doraie of the University of Detroit as leader in the poll to select a coach for the Col- .: lege all-stare. I' Waldorf picked up a total of 460,601 points to 454,426 for Dorais who hae led the balloting from the first day. In third place was Elmer Layden , of N'itre Dame with 450,824 points . and Bern!© Moore of Louisiana ‘ State was fourth with 270,751. o i Chicago Fighter Is Critically Injured Pittsburgh, Aug. 3 —(UP) —Johnny Page, Chicago prize fighter, battled death in St. Francis Hospital today as result of injuries suffered I in a bout with Eddie Zix!c of Pittsburgh last night. Page was pronounced in “critical’’ condition as lie lay in a coma. ‘ He has never shown any signs of regaining consciousness," a hospital physician said this morning. o Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Roop and daughter Helen have returned from I a week’s visit at Van Wert, Ohio. o 1 1 Dance, Wednesday, Sunset.

WHITE SOX AND YANKS MEET IN CRUCIAL SERIES Double-Header T # ‘l a > Opens Series At Yankee Stadium New York. Aug. 3. (U.R) ' " 11,1 (he National league race H.me w u cooled off by the red-hot Chicago I Cubs, major league Inteies • | tllday «o Yankee stadium whtre I ,he Windy City's White SOX make I a bold bid to whittle down th | New York Yankees' American lea I K»e lead. And the White Sox outlook isn ! hopeless. They're five games behind the Yanks but riding a fit Lame winning streak and getting sh" best pitching in the league. I The big factor on the W hite Sox , side is they aren't afraid of ' Yanks. They have won eight out lOf 14 gamse from them the out) I duh to have an edge over the Uuppert KitL'S. , in their last series in Chicago ! the White Sox won three out of | four and blew the other game as-

i ter having a 9 4 lead. It the Sox can do us well In this senes, the American league may furnish some 1 late August and September thrills | usually reserved for the National i circuit. The four-game series opens with j a double-header today. The rival mounds,net. will he Thornton Lee | and Johnny Whitehead sot the j White Sox and Red Rutting and Lefty Gome* for the Yanks. Lee. tall, handsome southpaw, is lone of the two Yankee memesis | the White Sox have been flaunting ! in McCarthy's eyes all season. He 1 has beaten the Yanks five straight I timse by scores of 2-1. 3-1, 5-4. o - and 65. Every time Lee beats the Yanks they scream hloodymurder ! and say he's lucky but he keeps on beating ’em. The other Yankee hex is Rip Raddiff. who’s murdering New York pitchers at a .533 rate. Raddiff has annoyed the Yanks ever since lie's been up. but is having his best season this year. The handy haired 167 pound outfielder has no magic formula. “I can't explain it," Raddiff said. "I like to hit in Yankee stadium better than any park in the league but that isn't the answer because I also hit well against the Yanks <n Comiskey park. New York isn't in any too good diape for this series. Outfielders Tommy Henrich and George Selkirk are still laid up and shortstop Frank Crosetti, nursing a couple of broken ribs, may uot he able to play. Os late the Yanks have been winning games strictly on their home run power despite a leaky defense and a faltering pitching staff. With Joe DiMaggio leading the parade the Yanks have gone home run crazy. They've cracked 117 homers so far and that’s the No. 1 answer to why they’re setting the pace. The Cubs will attempt to build up their six-game lead in the National league still farther against the Phillies, who open in Wrigley Field today. The Giants, who've dropped five out of six on the road, are due for a comeback now that shortstop Dick .Kartell is ready to return to duty in Cincinnati. No one realized how valuable Bartell , was to the Giants until he pulled a muscle and had to go to tile side
