I league brawl. | And ihe National league, famed for its whirlwind races, was sellI ling down to a Pittsburgh chase. The Pirates have grabbed a 4-game | lead over the champion Giants. I The Cubs are s’<j games back 1 , despite their sudden return to form under their new leader. Gabby Hartnett. Cincinnati in fourth ; place is seven games off the pace. The real firing during the next J 10 days Is likely to be in the west | Where the Yankees will attempt to | I defend their lead against the rampaging Indians who will be playing at home. You can forget about the charge that Boston doesn't have enough pitching to stay In ihe running. The Red Sox offer Emerson j Dickman and Jim Bagby. Jr., as two of the boys who are likely to l take up the slack In Boston's al--1 legedly weakest department. In ! closing their home stand yesterday I ' Ihe Red Sox broke even in a i doubleheader with the Indians. Rookie Dickman let the Indians down with .'1 hits to triumph over j Johnny Allen in the opener. 4-0. It was Alien's first defeat after ! a string of 12 straight victories. ! Then Bagby pitched a 6-hitter but j lost it to Mel Harder. 3-0. Harder | allowed only five hits. Even though the Red Sox gained i no ground in the pennant race, it I was significant that a club could send two rookies to the mound and get a 3-hit and a C hit game. No other club in the American league can show a pair of rookies to match that performance. The Red Sox made only five hits off Allen but they made then count. Higgins' double and Doerr's single accounted for one run. A walk. Higgins’ single, Keltner’s error and a sacrifice bunt spelled two more runs. Then Jimmy Foxx hit homer No. 27. In the second game Ken KeltI net’s 17th homer gave the Indians their first run. Heath’s triple and Averill's fly accounted for another I run. The final tally resulted from ' | Heath's infield hit and Keltner’s ; double.

'Because if they were the gentlemen of the customs would have held her for questioning when she came in on the Europa yesterday after winning the Wimbledon tennis championship for the eighth time. Mrs. Moody returned with what some expert ears appraised as the most euphemistic fib they had heard in years of covering the water front. Asked about the feud that existed between herself and j Helen Jacobs. Mrs. Moody assumed an expression of surprise that would have done credit to a Helen Hayes, and, in a voice laden with innocence, said; "Feud? What feud? I don’t know what you mean." A veteran tennis writer, whose toes and ears have been frost-bit-ten more than once by the frigid looks these two gals have given one another, all hut jumped overboard at Mrs. Moody’s reply. Then the veteran tennis writer did jump overboard, and was last seen floating past the Statue of Liberty, whefi Mrs. Moody continued with this amazing statement: "You know very well tkhere's no feud between Miss Jacobs and me. That's all newspaper talk — just like the days when Suzanne Lenglen and Mrs. Mallory were com-

peting. The papers always claimed a feud but really they were the best of friends.” There was a pause when Mrs. Moody finished this sentence. No one said anything—probably waitin gfor her to pass the shaker around and ask everybody to have a whole handful of salt—not just | a grain—‘with which to swallow J those words. All I can say is that if Mrs. Moody was telling the truth, and if she and Miss Jacobs are the best of friends, then they didn't study the same edition of Eni'y Post that I did or you did or any- : one else did. Their s was a private edition, with such chapter headings as: “How to freeze your best friend with a glance.” “How to appear annoyed when your heart is bursting with love and good will toward someone near, and dear to you.” “How to turn your back when being photographed with a friend. lin order that your frienu will dominate the picture.” "The frigidaire handclasp and how it should be applied.” “How to snub people and make life long friends." “The proper occasions to wear a high hat.” One group of persons who probably won’t be pleased with Mrs. Moody's denial of a feud is the amateur tennis fathers.

of sports followers which makes a grudge fight irresistable to them. ' Let the two Helens come together in the final at Forest Hills and the biggest crowd ever to watch a I tennis match in this country will be packed into the stdium. You can also bet that the tennis fathers are hoping and praying that the two girls won't meet in any minor tournament before the national singles championship. Mrs. Moody plans to sharpen her game for the nationals by playing in the Essex county tournament and there is a chance that Miss Jacobs might decide to play there too. As a matter of fact, if the two Helens are as good friends as Mrs. Moody implied, they might travel to the tournament together, room together, and have fun with pillow fights and chafing dish parties and all that sort of thing. 1 Oh yeah!
