INDIANS BOOST LEAGUE MARGIN TO FOUR GAMES Cleveland Comes From Behind To Defeat Boston, Increase Lead New York. June 8 (U.R) All those skeptics who said the (’leveland Indians couldn't win on the road ere beginning to open their eyes and wonder if Oscar Vitt hasn’t performed his old “ablia dabba” trick again. The Indians increased their lead to four full games yesterday, coming from liehind to down the Boston Red Sox. 7-5. The day before they lost an 11 inning game to Washington, 5-4, after scoring three runs in the ninth to send tlie game into extra innings. The day before that they tied the score in the ninth and beat the Senators in the tenth, 5-4. The fighting finishes mean that the Indians aren't the complacent, self-satis-fied players who used to hurry to get the game over. With the Indians clicking on the road the eastern contenders are slipping farther back into!the ruck. Tile Yanks. Senators and Red Sox. Cleveland's three principal rivals, all lost yesterday. The Yanks are now four games back, the Senators five, and the Red Sox five and a half. When Vitt managed the Newark Bears in the International League; he used to be famed for his “abba dabba” trick. He'd even come off the coaching lines to show if to a fan. Other times he'd perform it from the field for the press box boys. But if he can keep the In-; dians winning on the road his i “abba dabba” ean be forgotten because any one who can transform Cleveland into a winner on ' the road is indeed a "miracle man.” Vitt proved yesterday that he's the boss of the Indians by leveling down on Johnny Allen, temperamental pitcher, with a $250 fine for walking off the field in the second

LATEST TRADE ~ ELATES TERRY * Giants’ Manager Elated At Trade For Alex Kainpouris ~ Chicago, June 8. — |(U.R> — Bill i- Terry was in a rare mood today i thinking of little Alex Kainpouris. i I second buseman, who had to light . for a job with the Cincinnati Reds. Little Alex stepped into the wobt bly New York Giants inlield on a 1 day's notice and gave it champion--1 ship class for the first time since j 1 Burgess Whitehead was lost — possibly for the season. * j But Terry was thinking of some- * thing else. He recalled the stubby ■ human dynamo who lashed out , ’ seven home runs in 11 games at I ' the Polo grounds last year and ' that Kampg. now on his side, has | a lot more than 11 left to play ‘ there this season. "His fielding is good, yes,” Terry 1 said, "but the hitting is what will 1 help. We'll need all of it we can I get ’’ Kainpouris is a distance hitter and the Polo grounds is made to 1 order. Despite his size—Alex is 5 feet, 8 and weighs 165 —he hit j 17 home rims and drove in a total of 71 for the Reds last year although his final average was only (.249. In his debut as a Giant, Kampouris lifted a looping single on his first trip to the plate and twice reached third base as the Giants opened their four-game series with the league leading Chicago Cubs. He handled both fielding chances easily. Terry's sudden swap—outfielder Wally Berger for Kainpouris—almost caused manager Charlie Grimm of the Cubs to swoon. He questioned everyone in his dugout trying to learn how many play- ; ers an dhow much cash Terry had to pay for Kampouris and went off shaking his head when all replied ! it was a straight trade. That's how important the deal looked to Terry's closest rival in the National league race. Although the Giants have been , in a tailspin throughout their eastern trip, their only glaring weakness was at second base where Whitehead's illness left a gap that couldn't be filled properly either by Mickey Haslin or Lou Chiozza. Terry indicated, however, there . may be more lineup shifts if the Giants don't perk up during today’s , double-header with the Cubs and the series final tomorrow. Mel ( Ott still lacks polish at third base and Johnny McCarthy, a fine field- , er at first base, has lost his batting eye. Tery had a look at Dizzy Dean . warming up in the Cubs bull pen yesterday and admitted. "Diz will I make the Cubs too tough if he's right.” The Giants probably will have to work against Dean either as a starting pitcher or in a relief role . before they leave town. , o_ , | LEADING BATTERS 1 i Player Club GAB R H Pct. • Tro-sy.

June B.—KU.R) —Officials of Indiana State Teachers college said today that Glenn Curtis, coach at Martinsville high school, would take charge of the I Sycamore basketball team next fall.
