YANKEES GAIN ALTHOUGH IDLE Lead Increased HalfGame As Indians Lose To White Sox Chicago, Aug. 23 — (U.R> —The New York Yankees' recipe for winning pennants cant be topped. They pnt the fear of Jehovah into, their nearest rivals and then wait until they commit suicide. The Yanks had an off day yest-i erday and enjoyed themselves.' Cleveland, a brave contender a I month ago for the American league flag, had a chance to gain half | a game but continued to be frightened by the job of being a contender against the world champions. The Indians took another I slash at their own thrat. Even Oscar Vitt's program for Rob Feller on "how to pitch and win” failed as the Indians collapsed before the sixth-place Chicago White Sox. Little Mike Kreevich belted a triple with the bases load-

Aug. 23 — (U.R) — My ‘ i office sent the wrong fellow up here to cover the 57th annual national tennis doubles champion-' ship at the Longwood cricket club. In me it sent just a staff reporter whose chief equipment is typewriter. a notebook and pencil, and a large set of ears. What it really should have sent is a staff linguist. a master of languages capable of walking into the Tower as Bab--1 el and carrying on a spirited conversation with all present. Because this is more than a tennis tournament, this doubles shindig. It is a league of nations in shorts, skirts, ice-cream pants and culottes. Players from halt the, countries in the world are here. I tilling the refined back bay air with a variety of sounds that defy description. Can you imagine my perplexity when an umpire, high tn his chair, cuts loose for the first time with this sort of thing: “Sudac Pripravan Jscrami!” That's Jugoslavian for “lines-, men ready? Play!" And it is always called when the Jugoslavian Davic-cuppers stand ready for a match. All I understood of the command was the part which sounds like “scram". I was making ready to obey, and bolt from the press box. when some kind compatriot who had been tipped off as to what was coming, grabbed me. ' in the day I heard “lines- 1 man ready? play!” called in French. German, Polish and even Japanese. In French it goes “juger lignes pret jouez.” I'm practicing on that |' one. and will that waiter be surprised the next time I order in a p French restaurant. The German version is some- 1 thing like this: “schiedsrichten fertiz spiel.' At least I think that’s the way it goes. Os course, my in-1 terpreter might have kidded me and given me the name of a fancy rabbit dish with kraut and frankfurter sauce. The Polish version can't be written very well on this typewriter because many of the letters in the polish alphabet are sprinkled over the top with funny little thing-a-, majigs. Without the little symbols over their heads they are no more good l than a breaded veal cuttlet is with out bread. But I’m a game salmon and willing to try to swim up ; stream, so here is what I think they yell when Jadwicz Jedrzejowska stands poised at the baseline: "Sedziowie linjowi! Coyow! proszi zagzynac.” I would like to warn my readers right now that they needn't■ expect any interviews with their foreigners. I've got enough troubl-

made for formation of the Eiks bowling league this season, with four or more teams, all composed of active Elks, in the league.
