Tigers Regain Top Place In American Loop New Yok, June 13—(UP) — If John IMoGrsw were alive today and could spare a moment from hie worI'les over the collapse of the Giants he proilia'bly would pick the Detroit Tigere to 'win the American league flag. lit was McGraw, the little "Napoleon” of the majors, who provided tile proven!) “You’ve gat to win the close ones to win the pennant”. The years have proved that McGraw, the daughty Giant pilot, who }jated to lc.ee, was right. The teams that come through in the clutch are the ones that finish in front. .And that ia the way the firstplace Tigers are going. They are a (airly safe 'bet whenever they get into a~close game. They won their Mito “low-score game yesterday, beating, the Browns, 2 to 1 in 11 innings ait Detroit. .Among the other clu'bs, only the Yankees have ibeen consistent winners in sweating out the close ones. They have won seven out of 10 games (by one-run margins. Clevelautj has .won nine of 17. Washington seven out of 13, Boston us even up with six and six, the White Sox fiye out of 13, with the Browns iU’lpging up the rear. that Hal Newhouser, leftwing ace of the Tigers wasn’t up to his 1(944 form were dispelled when he won his eighth game against tqur defeats, putting him exactly even with his record at this stage of the race a year ago. He was a mirier in the pinches, standing 13 men on 'base, as he out pitched Jack Kramer. The Tigers won on Boiliby single which scored Roger (iltoc) Cramer from second. Newhouser struck out seven and Kramer nine in the twilight affair. lEmil (Dutch) .Leonard, who makes the second division senators look like champions when he pitches against the Yankees, beat them for the second time in a week, 5 to 3, knocking them out of the lead. (Russ Christopher, pitching three innings in relief, won his 10th game to increase his lead as top winner in the majors, beating the >Hed Sox at Philadelphia, 7 to 5 when 'Dick Sidbert homered in the jeth to break up the game. Southpaw Thornton Lee, winning his seventh game in a courageous camelback from arm trouble which threatened to end his career, gave the White Sox a 1 to 0 Win over the Indians at Chicago.

Yesterday’s Star—(Emil (Dutch) Leonard, Washington knuckleballer who 'beat the Yankees, 6 to 3, for the second time in a week, knocking them out of first place 0 Major Deadline For Trades Friday Night Chicago, June 13. —(UP) —Manager Charlie Grimm of the Cubs was shopping for a pitcher, the Yankees were after Jeff Heath and several other deals were brewing today with the major league deadline for trades only two days off. Friday midnight marks the final hour that big league clubs can trade or purchase jilayers, although they may continue to get them from the minor leagues or pick up discarded performers via the waiver route. All teams, still suffering from the manpower pinch, are anxious to swing swaps, but nobody wants to give anything away—which has the makings of a stalemate. Yet such title conscious clubs as the Cubs and Yankees are attempting last-minute trades to gain added power for the hot summer campaign. The Yankees admit they would like the Cleveland Indians’ Heath hitting for them in Yankee stadium. The 29-year-old outfielder smacks'a long ball and would fit perfectly into their big, horseshoe ball park. Heath, after hitting .331 for the Indians last season, was a holdout until Wednesday when he finally signed. Always a bit recalcitrant, Heath’s main reason for stalling this season, according to reports, was that he wanted to be traded. It’ s still possible, with., the Yan\ kees in second place and needing extra bat power, that he may get his wish before 12 o’clock Friday night. Grimm has four of the best catchers in the National League and he’s ready to swap one of th?m for a winning pitcher. The Cubs have skidded from first to fifth | place mainly because of the need for another starting hurler. With lefty Bob Chipman expected to be called into service within a month, Grimm is trying to talk someone out of a pitcher. He has a glib tongue and by dangling one of his catchers as bait he may make a deal soon. o Trade in a Gocd Town —Decatur

Says Good Progress On Polish Problems Eisenhower Likely To Return To Europe Washington, June 13. —-(UP) — The high points of President Truman’s press conference today: 1. He anounced that time and place have been fixed for his meeting with . Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin. It will be sometime before July 17 and apparently will be overseas. 2. He believed good progress is being made in solution of the difficult Polish problem as a result of Harry L. Hopkins’ trip to Moscow. Hopkins also obtained moderation of Russia's stand on the veto ques tion in the San Francisco conference. t 3. He expressed hope that the house would eliminate the Senate’s amendment to the OPA bill which would attempt to guarantee farmers “cost of production” plus a profit. 4. He urged that the Senate restore the funds for the office of War Information that were cut in half by the House. 5. Again he expressed hope that the House rules committee would permit the House to vote on proposal for a permanent fair employment practices commission. 6. He announced selection of former Gov. William H. Wills of Vermont to succeed Norman S. Case of Rhode Island as a member of the Federal Communications Commission. 7. He indicated that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower will return to Europe as scheduled to continue as U. S. member of the control commission for Germany. —o Brutality Charged To Hospital Guards l 1 Charges Refer To Marion Hospital

Indianapolis, June 13. —(UP) — Commander L. V. King of the Indiana department of the Veterans of Foreign Wars charged today that some of the guards at the Marion, Ind., U. S. veterans’ facility were “quite brutal." “In a roundabout way, I found that some of .the guards are quite brutal,” King said in a prepared •statement Issued after the VFW and the American Legion reported to Congress yesterday on the conditions of veteras’ hospitals over the country. King said it was difficult to get direct information at the hospital, since information from the patients “is sometimes unreliable.” "The only way to get evidence would be for an FBI agent to enter the hospital as a patient,” he said. King said, however, that food, recreation and medical service at the hospital generally were “good.” At the Indianapolis veterans’ hospital, King said, help was “sufficient but inefficient,” food was good and patients were “fairly well taken care of." o ■Democrat Want Ada Get Results

Ishan had been occupied Sunday by one of three Chinese forces driving toward the former American air base at Liuchow. In southern Kiangs! province, Chinese troops reached an area between Nankang and Sinfeng, ISO miles northeast of Canton, cutting off the escape route of a Japanese force which had captured a suburb of Sifeng. A Chinese counter-attack was reported forcing the Japanese to withdraw along the west bank of the Tao Kiang river south of Sinfeng.
