Tigers Defeat Washington To Bolster lead New York, Aug’. 17—(TTP)—Maybe the Yankees won’t have to wait until next year. Talking pennant' with the team involved in its longest losing streak of the season, seven straight games, sounds like something out of the hat, but with quick assistance from Uncle Sam it could be. Charley Keller lias swapped his merchant marine ensign's uniform for baseball flannels and may take over in the outfield by Sunday; Joe Dimaggio is expected to get hie release from the army any day now. Those pre-war sluggers, comprising the most powerful one-two punch of any major league club might make the difference with six weeks of the season remaining. Already Charley (Red) Ruffing, the 42-year-old right hander who has won three out of four games.

ami catcher Aaron Robinson have returned from the service to bolster the Yankee lineup. The club now is nine full games back of the Tigers but the distunee might not be insurmountable with a powerful attack to back up a fairly good, though not brilliant pitching stall.

Rickenbacker, America’s famed "speed-boy” of land and air in two world wars, who also is head of Eastern saidj there seemed little doubt that the present mark of 117.2 miles per hour set in 1938 would be surpassed. "New developments, such as jet propulsion, gas turbines, and many other things we've learned during the war will be put to use in the race,’’ Rickenbacker. said. He made his announcement shortly after the office of defense transportation lifted the wartime restrictions imposed on automobile racing. At Indianapolis, Wilbur Shaw, a three-time Winner of the classic', said that he had his own car “ready to go.’* “There undoubtedly will be experiments in jet propulsion,” he said. However, he pointed out that American Automobile Association rules require that power for the cars must "go through the wheels,’’ he indicated that there probably would be a change in the rules. The race was run last in 1941 and was won jointly by Mauri Rose and Floyd Davis with an average speed of 115.117 miles per hour. o War •< 1812 The wa: of 1812 was fought to protect our sailors against impressment by foreign nations.

0 1 Today's Sports Parade ( By Jack Cuddy ' Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) O— ° 1 Munich, Aug. 17-(iUP)-'For ser- , vicemen stuck in Europe who can t j get their eports in any other way, , lhere are always the “six month bicycle races to watch. < The parade goes on endlessly on ( the sleek superhighways that Hit- , ler laid out all over Germany, and , to a lesser degree in all of the . other European countriee. It is a , combination of the six-day bike races they need to hold at Madison Square Garden, C. C. (Cash and ; Carry) Pyle’s bunion derby (with wheels), and those dilly ringing brothers trapeze artists who took everything but the kitchen sink with them when they rolled their bicycles onto the circus tight ropes. Everywhere it is a standard gag with the soldiers that “tomorrow there’ll he a piano.” They mean that tomorrow they wouldn't be the least surprised to see some hefty cyclist wheeling along with : a baby grand or a refrigerator, or at least an overstaffed couch on his back. (Bicycles are most common in the Bavarian section of Germany where private automobiles and motorcycles are rarities and there are only a few woodburning private trucks to break up the bicycle parade. Because legs are the foundation for the development of most of the world’s great athletes, this should be a haven for enterprising sports promoters. The sturdy bronzed Bavarians are the most robust people in all Europe. They seem to live on bikes. They have the mountain air and they have good food in comparative abundance. Peddling about these foothills to the Alps might be a future heavyweight champion, most certainly a standout six-day bike racer, a Davis cup tennis star, on a German Gunder Hagg whose speed and stamina might be keyed to a keen degree with only a email amount of proper coaching. It ie the consensus of the touring sports writers that if German Frauleins had the time to devote to it, some of the hefty girls would make a big splash in the post-war international sport scene, provided of course that the big-wigs of the Olympic games permit athletics fraternization. A common sight is a mother or big sister riding to work in the fj/el4s ..with a four-year-old riding piggy-back and a six-year-old on the handlebars. Sometimes the bike is so concealed by the load that it is scarcely discernible. ißecauee Bavarians apparently were raised on bikes they even make love on whoeta, riding along hand in hand or on “bicycles built for two” which are almost extinct in the UWed^StateZ” s^' - " . ■ Leading, Batsmen - National League Player and Club G.
