MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMS RESUME REGULAR CARO Regular Schedule Resumed After Interlude For All-Star Tilt New York. July B—(UP)—After j a 3-day interlude for the all-star name, baseliall returned to its own private wars today the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians in a i dog-eat-dog fight for first place in the American League and three clubs launching new drives to overhaul the league-leading New York Giantsh in the national league. Cleveland s double defeat on July , 4 by the Detroit Tigers was a stunning blow to the pennant hopes of the Indians. Coming as It did while the Y'ankees are In the midst ol their greatest spurt of the season it emphasized once more Cleveland's failing of the past—inability to win when the pressure Is on. In losing the double header to De- j troit, the Indians showed once again that their infield is leaky, eepecially at second base, and that ( their outfield, while one of the best , offensive units in the league, sth!’ leaves much to be desired defen-,i slvely. These weaknesses may prove fatal to the Indians In a ding-dong pennant race. Pitching has bee none of the blgo factors in 'keeping the Indians at the head of the American league parade, but in the Independence Day double defeat Cleveland's pitching went sour. Bob Feller, No. 2 ■ man on the staff to Johnny Allen, proved that he hasn’t yet mastered hfe control. He was wild and unstable. To stay in the pennant the . Indians have to have Allen and Feller pitching at their best. By the luck of the schedule Cleveland gets a great chance to recover from its nose dive against the lowly St. Louis Browns while the

I Yanka have to battle the tough Boston Red Sox, who are still very much In the 'pennant race themselves. I The Yanks, In their drive to the t<>p, have been combining good pitching and hitting and once mor* I look like the great team of other • years. If their pitching holds up they must be regarded as favorites I to retain their title. Despite the fact that the Giants 1 have pulled away to a 3V. game I lead in the National league, th" I race Is far from over. Pittsburgh is all even with the Giants’ in the lost column. 25 each. Only the difference in the number of games played, all of which the giants have ' won. Io responsible for New York i being on top. The Chicago Cubs, although 6 ! games off the pace in third place, must not be counted out. Even Bill i Terry says, “The Cubs will be back up there. 1 consider them our most dangerous rivals." Cincinnati, which hit a slump as ■ter one of its most successful eastern road trips In a decade, is likely ! to come back strong. .Manager Bill 1 McKechnie feels that the loss of shortstop Billy Myers, who had an injured injured leg. was largely respoeible for the Reds' slump. With .Myers back in the game he believes the Reds will right themselves and start to climb again. 0 —; Seek Dismissal Os Stephenson Petition Noblesville, Ind . July B—(UP)— Circuit Judge Cassius M.

You’d be surprised at the things I hear. Yesterday, for instance, I I picked up a vague report that the white-flanneled fathers who conduct our amateur tennis affairs were trying to gather enough courage to separate the doubles team of Don Budge and Gene Mako. It seems that the fathers finally have reached a conclusion that many of us reached years ago, namely, that a combinatin of Budge and Bobby Riggs or Budge and Wayne Sabin would be much more formidable than Budge and his life-long pal. Wait a minute, there, before you start yelling in 'Mako's defense. 1 know that he and Budge just won the Wimbledon title for the second successive year, and that victory at Wimbledon is supposed to be the last word in accomplishment. But the truth is, victory at. Wimbledon this year meant little or nothing. The field in both the men's singles and doubles was the weakest in the history of the tournament. The best doubles team in the world wasn’t there, meaning the Australian tandem of ( Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich. But Adrian and Jack will be in the United States to challenge for the Davis cup and—this is just a tip—don t he surprised if the battle for possession of the fine old ) silver trophy doesn’t go right down to the doubles match. I see it—with my ears still to the ground—it will be Australia vs. the United States in the challenge round. Budge should win both his singles matches, but our I No. 2 singles player, whomever he

BEG PARDON In the story of the city-wide horseshoe tourney, published in | Thursday’s Dally Democrat, it | was erroneously stated that Viz- | i ard defeated Tuteweiler in the i final match of the Class A divis- | ion. This was in error, as Tiite- | Weiler defeated Vizard in the | ' championship match. ♦ ♦ may be, se"ms destined to lose ! both of his. That would make the , issue depend upon the outcome of the doubles match, with Quist giv-1 ing the Australian side the edge. ; And just as Budge is .without a peer in singles, so is the curly-' haired Quist the master doubles player. The courts of the world haven’t seen his equal in doubles since George (shirt tails) Lott j turned professional and disappeared from sight. Being a patriotic soul, who thinks this country can ill afford to lose the Davis cup, I would hate I to see Budge and Mako in there with the Australians when all the I chips were down. Budge would hold up his end. all right, but Mako —well, Gene is one of the 1 finest amateur trap drummers I ever heard beat a cymbal or whack a snare. Not that he doesn’t have his movements as a tennis player. ' He does, and during those moments he is hotter than a depot ■ stove. But unfortunately he has , his cold moments as well, and when he is cold he is so cold Sonja Henie could do figure eights on him. • 1 don’t envy the tennis fathers if they decide to try and separate Don and Gene. They have played together for many years, roomed together for more, and are closer than Damon and Pythias in a phone booth. Budge has intimated on occasion that he would refuse to play if he couldn’t have his 1

pal alongside him. And who is it to say he hasn't the right to such a stand? After ; all, the tennis fathers are always harping on amateur tennis being' a game that is played for the good, | clean fun of it, and that nothing; ' else matters much. So if Don 'placed friendship above winning.) the fathers could hardly do more than applaud his fine stand and send him out on the court with a smile.
