Brooklyn And Detroit Keep Winning Pace New York, June 22 —(UP) —A "golden opportunity” to run away with the pennant races faces the leading Brooklyn Dodgers and Detroit Tigers today. Whether or not they will be able to take advantage of it is another matter, but strategically they are better fixed than any of the close contenders in this sea son of "hot and cold running baseball.” Roth are about ready to begin long home stands, both have improved their position in recent road trips, and both are better fixed for manpower than at any time since the season began. The Dodgers may have it in them-to be a team of destiny. Their ..21-game home stand, beginhing today against the Boston Braves, will be against five of the tougher clubs. After Boston leaves, the so-called stronger western teams visit Ebbets Field for the second time, but the Dodgers "pooh-pooh” the thought of trouble. The last time the western clubs came east the Doders ran up their 11 game winning streak. Pitching and catching weaknesses threatened to scuttle the Dodgers, but Johnny Peacock, obtained from the Phils, is about ready to take over as first string backstop and in two days two winning pitchers have been "discovered.” Art Herring beat the Phils Wednesday and Cy Buker, rookie from St. Paul, topped them again yesterday, 9 to 2. The Tigers, unlike Brooklyn, have been contenders, but gained stature when they moved into first place after losing ace pitcher Alton Benton with a broken ankle. Now Benton is about ready to return along with Hank Greenberg, home run specialist back from the army. Frank (Stubby) Overmire, little left-hander who took over Benton’s spot, won his fifth game yesterday against two defeats, beatin the Indians. 5 to 1. Roy pujlenbine and Jimmy Outlaw wftA two hits apiece w’ere the batting notables. Overmire drove in fWo runs himself with a single. ‘Master moundsman Dave Ferriss of the Red Sox fell from his pinnacle when the Yankees starter} the biggest rally of the year, a' 13-run inning against him to win. 14 to 4, at Boston. Ferriss, fagdn out for the first time this year, was relieved after facing 10 batters. nine of whom got on base, in the sixth. The Cards backed up Sylvester (BHx) Donnelly with extra base

Harridge Studying Browns-Sox Fracas Chicago, June 22. —(UP)—President William Harridge of the American League is expected to mete out stiff penalties today to participants in the free-for-all dugout battle pt' St. Louis Wednesday night between members of- the Browns and the Chicago White Sox. Umpires Art Passarella, Joe Rue and George Pipgras, who worked the hectic game, have mailed their reports of the fisticuffs to Harridge who said he expected to receive them today and would “act on the case then.” He has assessed heavy fines and suspended players in the past for fighting. Manager Jimmy Dykes of the Sox said in Cleveland that he had sent a wire to Harridge charging that Luke Sewell, manager of the Browns, had instigated the fracas. Sewell, however, said It was caused by the “profane and uncouth” language used by jockey artists on the Chicago bench: Relief pitcher George Caster, after being knocked out of the game, ignited the flareup when he threw the ball into the Sox dugout, after which most of the Brown team swarmed the bench. The ball reportedly was aimed at Karl Scheel, batting practice pitcher and an ex-marine, who had been leading the Sox razzing section. Although the ball missed him, the Browns did not. Led by pitcher Sig Jakucki, catcher Myron Hayworth and infielder Ellie Clary, the Browns allegedly beat and kicked Scheel so much that he was carried into the club house where he received first aid treatment. , Harridge said that since Scheel is not under contract, the league office has no jurisdiction over him for any reiJponsibility he might have had in starting the fireworks. The American league president, however, did not say whether the Sox would be penalized for having Scheel on the bench in violation of league rules barring from dugouts all persons not under contract. Dykes called the assault on Scheel the “most brutal and un called for attack I have ever seen in ba-seball.” The Sox manager insisted that hi,i batting practice pitcher had not used ‘profane language” in his attempts to rattle the Browns. o 1 Home Runs Lombardi, Giants, 13.

MASS TRIAL OF (Continued From Page Ona) mer occupied countries that they should be represented in the prosecution of criminals under whom they suffered. In the two days flince his arrival in London, Jackson has set up a war crimes prosecution office and established liaison with the British prosecutor, Sir David Fyle, and with officials of the United Nation,s commission. Jackson also will establish a Paris office in the near future for liaison with a French prosecutor, whose appointment is expected to be announced by the DeGaulle government coon. Russia so far has taken no steps toward joining with the western Allies in establishing a United Nations military tribunal for the trial of major war criminals, though the Soviets raised no objection when the Truman plan was first discussed at San Francisco. The American attitude was to be that Russian cooperation was desirable but not eesential. —o MARSHALLPROMISES (Continued From Page One) our men in the Pacific, to relax now in optimistic estimates of the situation.” Marshall said that all men and equipment possible to throw into the fray would be used in the Pacific. “I might say our policy for the conduct of the war in the Pacific, as the war department projects it, is not only to have enough to defeat Japan in the end but to employ all the forces we can engage to bring the war to a quick conclusion,” he declared. "Economy in lives and material, as well as the psychology of the American people, demand that we mount a swift, powerful offensive. forcing a victory at the earliest possible moment.” He added, “I hope that successive victories will enable us to reduce the size of our army very soon.” Asking the nation to keep its “shoulder to the wheel” for a “terrific drive" against • the Japanese, Marshall said American losses in most cases have been smaller than those of an enemy fighting from prepared positions because of the preponderance of Allied equipment and fire power. 0 _ — HOME TOWN • ■ (Continued From Page One) ness of an old campaigner, Gen.

of the lut as had been planned. Thus he avoided the milling crowd as be hurried his mother off toward home in a waiting car. This tactic out of the way, Ike rejoined his wife. Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower and his four brothers, also in the party which met him at Kansas City, They walked toward the greeting committee and Ike began pumping arms. Mingling with the crowd, to the confusion of his military escort, the ' e-star general smiled broadly as he recognized two childhood friends, C. ,H. Case and C. M. Harger. Said Case, with the candor of one Kansan to another: “You may be a big shot place else, bnt you’re no bigger to us than ever.” To this remark, by which Case said he meant he had known all along that “Ike would go places,” the general replied with a mischievous grin: “Who the heli said I was?” o URGES GERMANY (Continued From Page One) Sen. Harley M. Kilgore, D„ W. Va. Kilgore's group has concerned itself particularly with the problem of cartels which were said to have laid the Industrial foundation for the present war. Yesterday Kilgore made public secret documents outlining plans of German cartelists to rearm Germany and finance Nazi party underground activities. Baruch offered these suggestions to round out his recommendations of other steps essential to continued peace: 1. All agreements with other nations be in writing and promptly made public in full. 2. Tightened peace making machinery in the United States to give the nation leadership in the problem. 3. “There should be a free look-see for all the United Nations throughout Europe.” 4. The United States should use her good offices to persuade nations which still refuse to recognize Russia to do so. 5. Occupation of Germany “as long as it takes for her spiritual and economic rebirth.” 6. Creation of a supreme European reconstruction council to coordinate reconstruction with the German settlement, reparations and other problems. 7. Reparations fixed at the maximum of Germany’s capacity to pay consistent with security and not to undercut living standards by forcing exports. 8. Development of a positive American foreign economic policy including tariffs, monetary agreements and foreign credits 9. Raising human standards all over the world.
