Chicago Cubs Increase Lead By Double Win New York. July IS —(UP)—The Chicago Cubs were doing their today toward making history of a decade ago repeat itself, but the’ Detroit Tigers were falling down on the job. It was Just 10 years ago that Chicago and Detroit met in a momentous world series and the Cubs, who lost out then, make no secret of tjie fact that the Tigers are the team they d like to tackle i again, that is provided that the aeries is played, and that the ■ Ctubs get into it themselves. They made it apparent yester-1 day that they are going to be hard : to beat out. Tijey stretched their j first place lead to four full games ’ with a double victory over the ■ Giants at Chicago, 5 to 3 and 7 I to 2. Phil Cavarretta. who was, just a kid breaking in when the j 1935 series was held, maintained ■ his pace as the Cubs’ top slugger, I getting a homer, a double, two] singles and two walks and batt- ■ itlg in three runs in the two ' games. Hy Vandenberg limited the Giants to three hits in the ■ opener and Hank Wyse put i pnough outs between the 11 hits ' he allowed in the second game to | Win his 12th decision. Meanwhile the Tigers, losing, i 5 to 4. at New York, were in their ’ ■g’qpt slump of the year, dropping four games in a row for the I first time. They haven't won a , game since leaving Detroit. Ace pitcher Alton Benton wasn't charged with the defeat but he lyas hit soundly before being relieved, Nick Etten tagging him ■ for a two-run homer in the, third. ■ Zeb Eaton put the Tigers hack in front with a grand slam homer in the fourth, but they couldn't hold it. The Yanks got three more in the sixth, relief pitcher Walter Wilson walking in the deciding run. The second game was rained out. The second place Senators had : their double bill with the Browns rained out at Washington, but moved within a game and a half of the lead as the Tigers lost. The White Sox-Athletics double hili at Philadelphia also was rain- , p 4 out. Boston won a rain-shortened six-inning game from the visiting I 1 Indians, 6 to 4, to hold a third place tie with the Yankees, two ( and a half games behind the leadjpg Tigers. Relief pitcher Fran- , cis (Red) Barrett worked an inning to gain an easy win, his third j of the season. The Braves cooperated with the Cubs in the National hy upsetting the Cardinals in a double j header at St. Louis. 3 to 1 and < 5 to 3. That ran their record over ( (pg world champions to five < straight and eight victories in 12 starts this season. j The Pirates gave the Dodgers ( two sound beatings at Pittsburgh, ; 9 to 1 and 15 to 3, as Truett (Rip) Sewell and Ken Gables marked c Tonight & Tuesday 1 t SPENCER TRACY t KATHARINE HEPBURN ‘ “WITHOUT LOVE” Lucille Ball, Keenan Wynn ALSO—Shorts 9c-40c Inc.

July 16 —In a tiuiries regarding the baseball try e out camp to be conducted by tht e St. Louis Cardinals a: Dwenge: Park next Thursday and Friday in n dica’e a very large attendance.

It is not rcce-s- > sary that boys have uniforms, but i those who do are asked to bring j them aiong as they will find it > much to their advantage. Try-out camps have been the “open sesame" to professional baseball and even the major leagues for many young-teie. Al "Red" Sehoendienst, one of the outstanding rookies of the 1945 Cardinals, first attracted the attention of Red Bird scouts during a try-out camp at Sport-man's Park, St. Louis, in 1942, After just three years of prepping. A! became the star left fielder of the famous St. Louis team, Martin Marion, now in his sixth year with the Cardinals and named ttie most-valuab'e player in the National League for 1944, is another youngster whom baseball might have passed up had he not attended a Cardinal try-out camp several years ago. These boys are just two of many who have gained fame in baseball because they had the foresight to recognize the value of trying out before experienced baseball men. Although there is no charge to attend the camp, out-of-town ho ye must pay their own expenses, but ouch expense- will be refunded to those who are signed to contracts. o Softball Tourney Is Planned At Bluffton Bluffton, Ind., July 16.—(Special) —B.

Byron Nelson Wins i Pro Golf Tourney I ' Dayton. 0., July 16. — (UP) —For; y- ' the first time in his career. Byron 1 e Nelson of Toledo. O. was acclaimed i ir i by most of his fellow journeymen 1- today as the greatest goiter the ■ d game has ever known. d Such golfing veterans as Denny n.' Shute. British open champion; i 11! Craig Wood, duration national open d! titlist, and Fred Corcoran, tourna-. y ment manager of the professional g , golfers' association —to mention a . I few —all were strong in their stand* e | that regardless of Bobby Jones. | 6 | Waiter Hagen and even the immor- i y tai Harry Vai don—Nelson is the; 1 ’ all-time tops. .. i Nelson, now 33 and a veteran of ; t ! 12 years of professional tournament I ? { golf, won that acclaim yesterday t ’ For he climaxed the greatest winning streak in the history of the 2 sport by beating Sammy Byrd of . Detroit, 4 and 3, to win the 27th r ! national P.G.A. tournament. . | In doing it, he left Byrd's dreams ; i of eight years scattered over thej . i rolling Moraine country club 1 course. Yet Byrd today was one > of the first of Nelson's fellow pro- > feseionals to rank him as the i t greatest. t “They talk about Nelson's woods I I and his irons.” Byrd said. "But he > is without a doubt the greatest putl , ter I’ve ever seen and when you i add that to all the other attributes ; I you arrive at one conclusion—he's I; the best.” ; Corcoran, who has seen them all. i 1 concurred. So have Shute and i ; Wood in the past. Sports writers and golf fans have ! compared Nelson favorably with ; the immortals of the game, but this | rare occasion finds Nelson's fellow’ ; pros unanimous in their praise of the former Texas railroad auditor i i whose great “clutch” playing has < made him the game's No. 1 win-| ! ner. Nelson, long conceded the best I in medal play, erased any doubt of ] his ability because he proved himself during the national P.G.A.; ’ Golf’s most gruelling test of man I against man rather than man ’ | against par. In winning the P.G.A. a second time, he kept alive his record of eight straight major individual, i tournament victories. Nelson also ’has won 11 championships so far i this year as well as 831.500. counting she $5,000 he gained yesterday. ] 0 The first expeditionary force in ; the history of Mexico is a fighter I squadron trained in Texas under lend-lease.

Va.. eaid today he would ask i the courts to force the retirement lof 97-year-old Sen. Carter Giass, , D.. Va.. whose ill health has kept I liim from the senate for more than i three yeans. The official, county treasurer ' John Locke Green, said he would a<sk the court of appeals to declare Glass' .-eat vacant and to order Gov. Colegate W. Darden, Jr., to call an election for a successor. Green said he had the greatest respect for the veteran senator. But in view of Glass' prolonged absence from Iris senate seat. Green ] added, the time has come for the ’ courts to act eo that Virginia “can ’ have two Senators.” "Sen. Glass ha<sn't answered a roll call • ince June 22. 1942." he i said. “If I didn't show up for my I job for two or three years, or even ; three months, I wouldn't have a ' job and I wouldn’t get any pay.” Gov. Darden told the United ‘ Press that he did not consider Glass’ senate seat vacant and that i he had no intention of taking aci tion. While it is unusual for a senator to be absent for a period of years the governor eaid, “illneds does not create a vacancy.” Gias; has served in congress since 1903 except for a two-year term as secretary of the treasury for Woodrow Wilson, His health has so failed in recent years that he took his oath of office, in January, 1943—in his Lynchburg Va„ home. 0 Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
