WORLD CHAMPS TAKE LEAD IN JUNIOR LEAGUE Yankees Move Into First Place In American League Race New__Xork, July 14 —(UP) —The plot to dethrone the world champion New York Yankees needed some new conspirators today—and badly. The old plotters kept the Yanks subdued from May 11 until almost dusk yesterday, but finally succumbed to the all-mighty power of the Bronx Bombers. By clubbing out a 15-12 victory over the St. Ixjuis Browns in 10 innings the Yanks mounted the American League 'pedestal again. And who is there among us who can say that the Yanks won't stay there? Prior to yesterday’s triumph the Yanks had enjoyed the rare ozone of first place for ortly one day this season. They were on top May 11. but lost the lead the next day to Washington. Two days later the Boston Red Sox moved to the front. They held the pace for five days and then Cleveland stepped in to the lead until July 4. The Yanks pulled even with the ndians that day. After the all-etar game the Indians regaine dthelr lead and held '

JAPAN ASKS TO ABANDON GAMES Jap Cabinet To Act Tomorrow On Plan To Abandon Olympics Tokyo, July 14 — (U.R) — Japan, embroiled in ti costly war with China, virtually abandoned today the 1940 Olympic games scheduled to be held In Tokyo. Koichi Kido, minister of welfare, announced that his department Wished to cancel the games. The cabinet will act on his decision I tomorrow. Informed persons close to the government and to the committee In charge of the 1940 games preI dieted that the cabinet would approve it and that Japan would request some other country to act as host to the world's athletes in 1940. Officials believed, however, that ' other countries would be reluctant to accept responsibility for the games on such short notice and saw a possibility that the 1940 Olympics would be cancelled entirely. Michimasa Soyeshima. a member of the International Olympics congress. apparently was resigned to cancellation despite strenuous efforts on the part of the committee in charge to continue preparations. He believed that the welfare department's disapproval was tantamount to cancellation ami held little doubt that the cabinet would do anything else but accede. "I regret the action very much,” he said, "but apparently it was in- ' evitable. I hope we can hold the i games in Tokyo in 1948.” One of the factors in the department's decision was an unwillingness to spare materials and money for the Olympics. Japan, on a war footing, is limiting external and internal expenses in order to carry on the campaign against China. For this same reason the ministry of commerce announced that the Tokyo international exposition of 1940, scheduled to end shortly before the start of the Olympics, had been postponed indefinitely. The ministry said that no new dates for the exposition would be set until after the hostilities in China had ended. Several countries had indicated ! that they would boycott the games | if held in Tokyo.

A. H. ALL-STAR TILT TONIGHT Indianapolis Indians Meet Association All-Mar Team Indianapolis, July 14.— 4U.R> Major league baseball celebrities I and scouts were among the thousands pouring into "the crossroads of the nation" today to see the I sluggers of the American Association cross bats tonight with the youthful, hustling Indianapolis Indians in the fifth annual all-star game. The stage was set for the year. I greatest show in the association - both the stepping stone and back

door to the majors. When Lynn King of Columbus steps to the plate as all-star leadoff man, keen-eyed scouts will be noting the “who's who” of the fastest minor league lb the nation. President William Harridge of | i the American league and Ford ( Frick of the National were expect-. ed to be present. Kenesaw Landis. liigh commissioner of baseball. | ami several presidents of minor leaguers had seats reserved. ' Burt Shotton, all-star manager, was ready with the best combination of batting and fielding power available from seven league teams. Fans who saw him pilot his Co- . lumbus Red Birds to victory in last year's contest and sweep to ( ' the pennant were confident of his * success. I Indianapolis fas, however, were I quietly awaiting that which they I think inevitable—a hard, slashing I rally and a great Indian pitching 1 staff blanking the heavy hitters as it has many times before. Throughout the season Ray Schalk's youngsters—they average 23—have won in the ninth or later with terrific rallies. Tonight they| make no exception. The starting moundsmen are slated for major league berths next year. Last year, incidentally, t 18 all-stars went south for spring training wtih the big leaguers. I Whitlow Wyatt, big southpaw recently signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers, will hurl the first three innings for the all-stars against ; Vance Page, whom sportswriters in selecting the all-stars unanimously voted the best pitcher in the association. The Chicago Cubs are rumored dickering for the Indianapolis righthander, who leads; the -league with 14 victories and •

i tW Al l EPp'' ,l y ""d John NUg, * ninK I probably will follow Page although ' Schalk has not Indicated In which I order they will P»eh. Relief for i Wyatt will be either Leroy Parm|'lee former Chicago Cub hurler I n ow with Minneapolis Kemp i Wicker. Kansas City; Lloyd Brown I or Ray Phelps. St. Paul. I Many others will he under close Lrutln, by the scouts and manag- ' ers of major league teams. Ted <; williams, 19-year-old home run king a Boston Red Sox protege, is expected to be the chief bombshell ’i in the all-star attack. Indian hurlMen In previous meetings, however, 'have handcuffed him. * 1 Joe Gallagher. Kansas Cityan, is ’ in the cleanup spot. Gallagher Is r remembered by Indianapolis fans one in particular—for climbing ’ lum to take a few quick pokes at ” | into the box section at Perry siad-
