Holmes Stars As Braves Win Double Header New York, June 8. —(UP) —The sturdy wrists that brought Tommy ; Holmes a national juvenile bagpunching championship as a five-year-old were reviving pennant hopes of the Braves today and making him a good bet to win the National league batting title. He is one of the most sought after players in the majors with reliable reports saying the Cubs have offered as much as SBO,OOO for him, possibly to replace Bill Nicholson, their own ace slugger, if he goes I into military service. Yesterday was a typical day for the Brooklyn-born 27-year-old star, I who might have become a champ- j lon boxer had not his parents per-1 suaded him to lay down the padd-1 ed gloves for a ball and bat. He made five hits ae the Braves won twice. 3 to 1 and 7 to 3, extending the Phils’ losing streak to 11 games, longest of the season. He drove in three runs and scored two himself, making it easy for j pitchers Jim Tobin and Tom Earley j to win from the fading Phils. The Giants won a “gift” victory from the Dodgers at the Polo Grounds, 10 to 5, scoring eight unearned runs on eight Brooklyn errors. Dodgers pitchers also contributed to the delinquency with two wild pitches, seven walks and a hit batsman. Catcher Clyde Sukeforth had a passed ball and the winning Giant pitcher. Van Mungo got into the “spirit” of things with two wild pitches and three walks. Errors also helped Cincinnati to a 7 to 3 victory at Pittsburgh, three misplays giving the Reds three runs in the third as veteran Joe Bowman had it easy in winning his second game since coming from the Red Sox. The Cards topped the Cubs at St. Louis, 6 to 4, to go into second place. Cub third baseman, Stan Hack, made his first error of the season on a hard ground ball after handling 159 chances cleanly. Rookie Jack Creel, with relief help from Harry Brecheen, gained his fourth victory. Elvin (Buster) Adams hit a two-run homer, his eighth of the season, for the Cards. The Browns knocked the White Sox out of the first division for the first time this season, winning two at Chicago. 6 to 0 and 6 to 2. Jack Kramer had a seven-hit shutout in the first game and Newman (Tex) Shirley, finally getting some hitting support, won handily as the Browns teed off on two pitchers for 13 hits The Tigers closed in on the leading Yankees, winning 3 to 2 behind Hal Newhouser at Cleveland, to go within a game of first place.

With more rain forecast it was indicated that the field for the 71st annual running of the blue grass classic would be cut from 17 probable starters to 13. Those on the doubtful list were Fair Jester, Burning Dream, Kenilworth Lad, and Jacobe. The 13 which seemed certain to go were Jeep, Hoop Jr., Pot O’Luck, Alexis, Darby Dieppe, Air Sailor, Fighting Step, Bymeabond, Sea Swallow, Foreign Agent, Tiger Rebel, Misweet and Bert G. Track conditions seem certain to result in the withdrawal of Burning Dream, Col. E. R. Bradley’s hope for his fifth Kentucky Derby victory, Fair Jester and Kenilworth Lad. Jacobe, who did not weather the shipping from New York, was put in the class !>f doubtful starters, regardless of track conditions. As they came down to the case of putting up the SSOO entry fee nr cancelling their colors in the biggest race of the year. Darby Dieppe was winning the belated support of those turf followers who like the horses which prefer heavy going. His winning performance in the Blue Grass Stakes last Saturday when the track was heavy was gaining the colt backers, and Charley Gentry, his trainer, was praying for more rain. Although satisfied that the speedy son of Sir Gallahad 3rd could run on any kind of a track, Gentry said: "He likes mud.” , 0 Rest Wool When a wool garment gets a rest after a day or two of wear, the wool springs back and some wrinkles drop out—so less pressing is needed.

Japan Hints Al More Severe Dictatorship I Demands Grow For More Decree Rule London, June B—(UP8 —(UP) —Radio Toky6 today reported growing demands for complete decree rule in Japan—a hint that an even more severe dictatorship was about to be clamped on the country. “Drastic revamping of the whole internal administration under extraordinary authority is now considered urgently necessary by political and other wellinformed quarters,” a political expert of the Japanese Domei agency said in a broadcast dispatch. Adoption and enforcement of laws by government decree without approval by the diet (parliament) were necessary because of the “critical turn of the war situation pointing to the possibility of the decisive battle ultimately being fought on the Japanese homeland,” Domei said. “With the enemy’s air raids due to be intensified hereafter," Domei said, “it is clearly seen that serious delays wuuld be involved if every new legislation must receive diet approval before its enforcement.” Other Tokyo broadcasts also indicated that major political developments were in the offing. Premier Kantaro Suzuki reported to Emperor Hirohito yesterday on general political affairs and later held an extraordinary cabinet meeting. A shakeup in the Japanese government group charged with production of munitions also took place yesterday. Munitions factories have been a key target in bombing raids on Japan. o Quick Harvest Asparagu< is the first fresh vegetable to be harvested in the spring, and it continues in good quality for several weeks.
