Red Ruffing Hurls Win In Mound Return New York, July 27—(UP)—It’s toO bad Yankee manager Joe Met'aHhy wasn’t around to see the old cHfll miner from Nokomis:, 111., Charley- (Red) Ruffing make his comeback on the pitching mound after nearly three years in the army. it probably would have ( been ritßte of a tonic than any medicine that could be prescribed for the veteran pilot. Up in Buffalo where nfe is recovering from a nervous ailment that made him want to resign as: manager, it must have made him feel as if old times were back again when big Red beat the Athletics, 13 to 4. The entire team seemed to respond to Buffing's return and that of his rookie battery-mate, catcher Aaron Robinson. Together they formed baneball's first Ex-G. 1. battery in which both members had been major leaguers before ithe war. Ruffing, whose 13 year career with the Yankees bears a ramarkable parallel to McCarthy's pitched the kind of a game for which he is famous. He knocked the heart out of the opposition by retiring the fiAt seven men in order, six of them on strikeouts. For six innings he gave up only two hits. The A'is got to him in the seventh for two more hits and a run. but be blames his feat of hitting a three bagger in the previous inning for that. The game was a lot like Ruffing’s last victorious appearance in the first game of the 1942 world series against the Cardinals at St. Louis. He held the Cardis hitless for seven and two thirds innings to set a new world record. That was the only game the Yankees won in that series. Giving Ruffing solid support against the A’s, who have been playing the best ball in the league of late despite their cellar position, the Yankees made 14 hits. The victory put the Yankees into a three way third place tie with Chicago and Boston, four games out of the lead. The Cubs capitalized on the api pearance of their favorite oppon- ( ents, the Reds, at Chicago, winning, ] 2 to 1 to give Hank Wyse his 14th victory, it was the ninth victory without a defeat for the Cubs over the Red<s this season. Third baseman Stan Hack drove in the winn- [ ing run with a single. He also cut 1 off the tying run in the ninth, end- I ing the game by making a sensational stabbing catch of a liner by Gerald Walker. The second place Cards remained four and a half games behind the Cubs, winning, 10 to 2, with an 18-jiit attack on three pitchers. Rookie Ken Burkhardt had no "

Attlee arrived at the treasury building early this morning, wearing a black coat and striped trousers. He set to work immediately on the formation of his government. It was not believed that Churchill would accompany Attlee back to Potsdam although the new prime minister was expected as a courtesy to ask him to go along. Nor will Eden return to the conferences. The foreign policy which the labor government will follow was foreshadowed by Bevin in an address to the Blackpool labor conference May 23. He said then: “Security for peace must rest in the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. The United States is a free enterprise country. The Soviet has a socialist internal economy and Britain stands before the two.’’ Bevin declared that Britain must “know patience and toleration and try to obtain an understanding in order to come together for the common purpose of maintaining peace and developing

Byron Nelson Leads In Tourney Opener ' 1 Chicago, July 27—(UP)— Byron Nelson’s fiery competitive spirit today apparently was about to cost him golf’s richest prize, the All-American open championship. As the three in one all American tournaments entered the second round at the Tam O’Shanter Club, Nelson once again was leading the field in the rich $57,733 men’s open of which he is defending champion. But he had to stage one of the most spirited rallies yesterday to get there, shooting a 36-30—66 to take a one stroke lead over his fellow Texan and oldtime caddy pal, Ist Lt. Ben Hogan. Nelson gave it all he had on the back nine — shaving six strokes from par—to get in ahead of Hogan's crackling woods and precision irons. But the fighting Nelson heart, which carried him to all-time winning streak of eight straight individual tournaments, may have taken too much out of the greatest golfing machine the game has ever known. In shooting that brilliant nine holes, in which he made one eagle and four birdies, Nelson pulled a back muscle which has kept him on the sidelines for the past week. It even tpok more than that out of him. “Yes, I didn’t do my back any good. It hurts,” he said. “And frankly, I don’t think I'm going to win this one. I'm afraid I shot my best round — I gave it too much.” In third place in the 136-man open field and first place in the amateur was flight officer Frank R. Stranahan, Ft. Myers, Fla.. with a 35-34 —69. An amateur, he is entered in both tournaments and his one score counts both ways. Trailing Stranahan in the amateur were three tied at 735, Sgt. Walter Burkemo, Evanston, 111., 38-35; Bill Hyndman, HI, Abington, Pa., 38-35, and Art Doeringfi Denver, Colo., 39-34. Meanwhile, in the women’s open. Dorothy Germain, of Philadelphia, two-time winner of the women’s western amateur, took the lead with a 41-35 —76. Rallying brilliantly on the back nine, Miss Germain managed to finish one-up on Dot Kielty of Los Angeles, who had a 39 38—77 with 54 holes to go. Behind her were Sally Sessions, Muskegon, Mich., 40-39—79 and marine Lt; Patty Berg of Philadelphia, with a 38-42 —BO. Defending champion Betty , Hicks was fifth with a 40-41—81.

TRUMAN AND STALIN (Continued From Pago Ono) before stepping down from his role a>s Britain’s leader. To many who have covered Big Three conferences in the past, it will take some time to grow accustomed to the absence of a certain cigar, a certain waspish grin, and a pudgy hand almost continuously giving the “V” for victory salute. o Apropos of wartime conditions, there is, on Chicagos Clark St., an “Innuendo Grill” and on San Francisco’s Market St., there is the “Tencenter — Nothing over 15 cents." A dress manufacturing company in peacetime, Fashion Frocks, Inc., at Cincinnati won the Army-Navy E for parachute making. a higher standard of living with i. complete removal of fear.” Vie said that Italy should not be ’treated as though Mussolini was Si’ll in power and that relations Uf.th France must be strengthened. Os India, he said: “We will close the India office and transfer its business to India. This very face itself will give confidence that they are no longer governed from Whitehall.” India’s home rule responsibility, he said must be increased, year by year.

SAYS JAP TROOPS (Continued From Or ‘ e) jess” to consider such a wlthdrawal. He was quoted as eaylng an armistice would be necessary as “prerequisite” to a withdrawal. Up cited the possibility that the U S 14th air force would hamper i withdrawal by continuing to destroy transporation lines in China. It was indicated that the question ot a possible transfer of Japanese troops from China was raised by Okamura himself during a press conference. The spokesman said there were numerous indications that the Japanese were preparing to abandon the Tungpu railway linking Tatung and Puehow in the Yellow River bend. The move would be in line with Japanese effortfl to contract their North China defenses and shift crack troops to the coast. Enemy soldiers are reported shifting rollingstock and pulling up rails on the line, kept out of daylight operation by repeated U. S. 14th air force attacks. TGE spokesman also said Japanese troop concentrations at Suchow, 'Lungchai and Tsipu have been shifted to the Giangsu coast.
