May 25 -(UP) Emil (Dutch) lx>onard of the Washington Senator*, with hi* freak knuckle-ball delivery, may be the man to end the pennant dynasty of the New York Yankees thia season — provided any one fellow Is big enough to do it. Portly, bald Leonard, who confesses to being "fat and 34." kept the Senators close on the heels of the Yankete and Browns yesterday In the hot three-cornered American league battle by defeating the In dians at ('leveland. 5 to 4. for his fourth straight victory without defeat. Leonard, potentially one of the top pitchers In baseball, thus is off to his best start and now that he has gained the knack of controlling hie knuckler, may welt be the factor to put Washington in ahead of the Yankees, year, essaying a comeback after the 1942 season In which he won only two games.

but at his present pace should top that figure. Moreover, when It comes to a showdown between the Yanks and the Senators, Leonard may be the "blue chips" pitcher for manager Ossie Hluege, since he apparently has regained the inasteiy he once held over the Bronx Bombers. Last year he beat them on three out of tour tries and has one victory over them to date this year. Oddly, In 1939, he beat the Yankees four times, then faltered ami lost 12 games to them from 1940 through 1942. beating them just once. In his victory over the Indians, he survived a bad firut inning in which he yielded five hits and four runs, then pitched thsree hit baseball the rest of the way. The Detroit Tigers, coming home with a six game winning streak, had it ended in rude fashion by the Philadelphia Athletics who won 11 to 4. scoring ail their rune in the first two Innings. Catcher Frankie Hayes hit a home run with the bases loaded to spark a six-run second inning. It was his eixth homer of the season. Don Black pitched shutout hall for the A's until the ninth when Detroit scftred all Its runs. The ex-Sea Bee, Jack Kramer of the St. Utuls Browns, pitched his sixth victory against two defeats, heating the Boston Red Sox 7 to 3. to spark the team's homecoming.

Big Ten Officials Open Conferences Discuss Schedules , For Cominq Season Chicago. May 25 (VP—The Big Ten conference began a weekend of strenuous activity on both the administrative and athletic fronts today as conference athletic directors. coaches and (acllty representatives met and track, golf and tennis teams prepared for championship tournaments. Football and basketball coaches opened the annual spring meeting at Big Ten headquarters today to discuss schedules for the approach Ing sports season a task that was somewhat relieved by the Univeri slty of Chicago's decision to drop ' all competitive athletics during 1945 Chicago hasn't had a football team since 1940, but It hail become a delicate problem for Big Ten basketball coaches to include the 1 Maroons on their schedule. Conference officials did not wish to refuse | to schedule games with the hapless Maroons, despite the lopsided and uninteresting games that resulted. | Grid coacjies will work out 19451 and 1946 schedules, and possibly | I make a verbal agreement to deviate from the official rules code in the matter of the controversial out-of-bounds kickoff. Maj John L. Griffith. Big Ten commissioner, said that he hoped "the conference would see fit to prohibit the deliberate out-of-bounds kickoff," possibly by agreeing to instruct kickers to aim the ball at legal territory. "We're not trying to buck the football rules committee," said Maj. Griffith, "but we believe that each conference should be permitted to conduct the game as It sees fit. The deliberate out-of-bounds klckout has met with disapproval from both coaches and spectators." It also appeared possible that the conference may adopt the much discussed "round robin'* method of football scheduling, thereby matching each Big Ten team against every other conference opponent to provide a more representative process of championship selection. This method still would leave room for the scheduling of one non-conference college opponent and one service team. , MAJOR LEAGUE Ji J / SUHDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct. 08.
