YANKSTROUNCE RED SOX NINE IN TWIN BILL Increase Lead To 11 Vi Games With Double Header Victory New York. Aug. 12.—(U.R) —Bostons Red Sox. who fought their way up from fourth to second place by winning 12 out of 13 games, palled themeslves out of the wreckage «f a double defeat today. But the horrible part of it is that they have to crawl back into Fenway Park today for another twin brush against the Yankees. ' Look out fourth place, here come the Red Sox back where they started. The best thing the Yanks do is K. O. challengers. They just polished off the White Sox, in four straight. Boston was all excited about the Red Sox chances and 36.127 persons jammed Fenway , Park for the "crucial" battles. The Yanks routed their latest challengers. 8-5, in 14 innings, and ] 10-4 in seven innings. It was the . Yanks* 10th straight victory and increased their lead to 1154 games, i It isn’t so much the defeats, but it's the way the Yanks do it. They break their rivals' heart in the bargain. At the start of each game i the Yanks blasted away with ahomer. Joe Di Maggio hit his 33rd with a man on in the first inning of the opener and then Lou Geh-| rig cracked his 28th with two. mates aboard. The Red Sox had to fight uphill in both games. They | tied the first game. 4-4, in the ninth but the tension was too much for them. They cracked! wide open in the 14th and the Yanks poured over four runs. In the second game the Yanks got away to a four-run lead and the Red Sox fought valiantly to tie the score, 4-4. But the Yanks slammed over six runs in the sixth. The Yanks always put on a big show. They almost precipitated a free-for-all in the 10th inning of the first game. Jake Powell got caught in a rundown between second and third and charged into Pinky Higgins. The players squared away but the umpires quickly quelled the uprising. Myril Hoag crashed into Catcher Moe Berg in the first game, and Berg had to retire.' Catcher Gene Deasautels was tossed out of the first game| for protesting decisions on balls and strikes by Umpire Kolls, and First Baseman Jimmy Foxx had to go behind the bat. Things always happen when the "Yanks are around. In the other American league games Cleveland won a doubb

"Yes,” the nurse told me as she busi'y whittled on a crutch, "when , Rip Collins cracked his ankle slid ' ing home two days ag-», it marked our seventeenth casualty of the season. The Orioles’ record is nineteen. We are tied with them on broken fingers, twisted ligaments. I and enapped verterbrae, but are ' shy one brokben bone and a laceration. I don't want to appear bastful f..r fear it will jinx us, but I honestly believe we have a grand chance to set a new record.” ; The nurse- dabbed her ears with a dash of eau de sloan's and asked if 1 would care to see the log took, a handsome tome bound In adhesive tape and profusely il'ustrated with | x-rays. As I thumbed through its ypages I jotted down the 1937 Cub injuries: Curt Davis, injured arm; Tex CarleU-a, chipped elbow; Bob arbark, broken hand; Gabby Hartnett. strained arm; Gabby Hartnett injured shoulder; Gabby Hartn tt, : re-injured shoulder; Gabby Hartnett re-re-injured shoulder; Larry French, broken right hand; Ken O'Day, bruised hand; Billy Herman, nail torn from finger; Bill Jurges, fractured wrist bone; Clay Bryant, flu; John Bottarini, injured finger; Gabby Hartnett, jammed finger; John Rottarinl, spiked; Bill Lee, strained muscle; Bill Jurges, hurt shoulder; Charley Root, hurt pitching hand; Rip Collins, br.-«veu ankle. “A fine team spirit,” •! commented. "Nearly every man o nthe squad lias contributed something.” "Yes,” the nurse beamed, “the men have been splendid. Especially Mister Hartnett. Without a word of complaint, he has carried along the boys who are in an injury slump. We are counting quite a bit on Cavarretta and Hack, I don't mind telling >.u. Those two haven't been able to break a thing, but now that they know we are so near a record 1 am sure they will come through.” The nurse also revealed to me that If the Cubs win the pennant the players will make more money out of the National League title than any other players in history. "Offers forendorsements are simply rolling in,” she said. “Almost as many as requests for autographed X-rays. Here are a few of the offers that came in last wee.” Middle Illinoos lodine company: $2,500 for a group picture of the team admiring a bottle of iodine. Hiram L. Potts hot water bottle company: $4,000 for the light to make A Chicago Cubs model hot water bottle. Speedalong crutch company: $2,640 for permission to manufacture Gabby Hartnett crutches. Interstate stretchers, Inc., $2,500 for the right to use the slogan: “We Litter up the Cubs’ Dugout—Let us Litter up Your Home.” The Nurse also told me that Manager Charley Grimm, because of the skill he has shown in running the

TAYLOR CHOSEN G. 0. P. LEADER I .John Taylor Replaces Morgan As State G. O. I*, (’hairman Indianap.lis.

Morgan by John Taylor of Danville as state chairman, and they I now look forward to a meeting of ithe state committee a aiwith hence at which they hope to be united completely for the 1938 campaign. Under pressure from virtually every segment of the party in the state. Morgan resigned yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the state committee ostensibly cal’ed to elect a new party treasurer. This action removed a large stumbling block toward peace In the G. 10. I’. ranks, Morgan was unpopuI lar because he admitted contributing to the Democratic campaign J fund "for business reasons" and t because he had forced the ouster of I Harry Fenton as party secretary hast April. This action alienated tho 'lndiana Republican editorial association and George A. Ball. Muncie millionaire and national committeeman, who were Fenton s staunch backers. Still to he reconci'ed are the 11 "minority” members of the state committee headed by Ewing Emison of Vincennes, seventh district I chairman. ! This group yesterday refused t? 'vote either for or against Taylor. ' who holds party office now by vote I of exactly half the state committee | since he did not cast a ballot for himself. Taylor was selected f«~J the state i hairmanship by the "majority” faction of the state committee headed by Ralph Gat«e of Columbia City, fourth district chairman. This group steamrollered the choice of Taylor and romped over a mln- rity motion for delay. As the meeting opened Morgan offered to re-sign, this being accepted immediately and unanimously. [Mrs. Eleanor Snodgrass, state vice- |< hairman. took the gavel, overruled i a minority pn.test that election of ; a n w- chairman was not in order, land the installation of Taylor folI lowed. He was nominated by Mrs. I Nell S. Jenkins of Noblesville, sixth i district vice-chairman. Taylor then recognized Ralph Adams of Shelbyvi'le, tenth dis- ; trict chairman and member of the minority group, who offered his fac'tion’s proposal that no new chairt man be named but that Nationa' :committeeman Ball and Mrs. Grace NOTICE While I am unable to get a location here I will be at Portland with , my son and will return to Decatur I later to look after my work.
