Detroit Splits Double Header To Keep Lead New York, Aug. 7—(VP)— Detroit's pennant fever was complicated with severe chills today, brought on by a month of mediocre play in which only two tilths, the Red Sox and Athletics, have lost more gamtts than the first place Tigers. Since July 7 the Tigers have won 13 games and lost 11. hardly the pace with which to win a pennant. That they still remain in the lead, although by only a half game, a nindicatiOn of how tight the race has become since the mid-season marker was passed. The Washington Senatom, nowin second, were playing just so-so ball themselves until they ran into five double headers :n as many days and won nine of the 10 games. That gave them a record of 16 wins and 13 losses for the mouth, aibout the same pace as the White Sox set in leading the western half of the circuit with 15 victories and 11 defeats. The Cleveland Indians were next with 16 victories and 13 lo ses. Even lite trouble ?beset Yankees did bette (than the Tigers, winning 12 and losing 12. The seventh place Browns, who were leading the league at this time a year ago, played at exactly the same pace as the Tigers, winning 13 and losing 11. The Red Sox were just a shade worse, winning 13 and losing 15 while the A's won 1(1 and lost 17 to bring up the rear. The Tigers broke even in a double header with the White Sox at Chicago yesterday, muffing an opportunity to gain on the idle Senators.. Al Benton, who has won five of the 13 Tiger victories during the month, gaine dhis 11th win against two defeats in the opener, beating the Sox, 6 to 2.

It was Detroit's first victory in -five games with the Sox, hut they couldn't stand the pace and Johnny Humphries -hut them out on foul hits, 7 to 0, in the second game. The champion Brownies dropped to a new low for the season, losing wo to the Indiana at St. Louis, 9 to 7 and 8 to 4, to go all alone into seventh place. Previously the Browns and Indians had been tied for sixth, but the double win moved Cleveland '• into fifth place ahead of Boston. The Brow- suffered a blow worse than defeat in the opener when '■ third baseman Mark Christman '• was hit in the head by one of Allie ’ Reynolds’ fast pitches and suffer- ' ed a brain concussion. He was in a serious condition in a St. Louis ? hospital.

The answer probably is that this country will use the atomic bomb in the i interest of the United Nations, but i keep under its own direction the secretg of its development and the experience gained in producing it. ■ The United States congress will < have the last word on that. Mr. ■ Truman .has promised that the congress will be responsible for the , control of both production and use of atomic power within the U. S. A major factor in the settlements of this war have been access to the world's oil reserves especial- , ly in the Middle East. Will oil be , as important as Uranium deposits , 20 years from now? Os what value will be the world’s largest army, the world's largest navy, and vast fleets of superbom- , ers lo a nation which does not have an atomic bomb? These are some of the questions being asked in foreign offices throughout the world today. The world’s diplomats must gear themselves so rthe age of the atom. 0 Trade In a Good Town — Decatur

J London, Aug. 7. —(UP)— Now that the holocaust of war is just a bitter memory to the thousands of American srvlcemen. still in Euiope, the army is ready with the biggest and most concentra e< sports program in history to make them forget battles and their burning desire to come home. There are two million men, mos ly combat veterans, who are awaitredeployment which necessarily must be delayed for many months because shipping facilities are so urgently needed for the pacific theater. ’ , . . Maj. Gen. Ben Sawbridge, chief of the Athletics division of the army special services, explained what the army intended to do. “All of these men wi-ih to return home right away which is impossible,” he said. “But we can t let them rot. They deserve top treatment while they are waiting. It is our job to keep them happy and to prevent homssickness. “Now that they no longer are in combat, we can’t keep drilling constantly. iHence we must hum theii

energy with athletics, the kind where all compete. And "we must i ntertain them with W* 8 ™ , competitions wherein finally the best compete in big tournaments inspiring divisional pride.” Sawbridge said he saw no possibility” of the American wor d series baseball teams coming to Europe to put on .their classic for servicemen. “The weather after September is too rainy and uncertain to attempt anything like that,” Sawbridge said. Sawbridge, a former Stanfor university student who said he never made the first team anywhere although he tried out for everything, is a tall well-built veteran with graying brown hair. He is assisted by Col. Ken Fields ormer army athlete from West Point. Fields was halfback for the cadets in the early ’3o’s, being graduated in 1934- Also on the staff is Col. Frank McCormick, former director of athletics at Minnesota, who recently returned from America after supervising the movement and distribution of many carloads of athletic equipment. iNow being distributed as fast as transporation facilities are made available are huge stockpiles of softball, baseball, and volleyball equipment. The staff is involved in the supervision of numerous tournaments now in progress. They include basebail, softball, golf, tennis, track and field, archery, horse shoe pitching, and swimming. Boxing now is being carried on informally throughout the seven European sports commands but will be included with football as one of the major phases of the winlei program. From a long range standpoint, Sawbridge emphasized that the sports program iudirectly will benefit the European pople as much as it does the G. I.’s “It will be a big help to the future citizens of Europe, particularly the German children, who will be learning about how to play basebal linstead of clicking heels, he said. “Maybe that is what was
