Hal Newhouser Scores 20th Win of Year New York, Aug. 21 — (UP) The Hal Newhouser “express” was exactly on schedule today, winging along toward the best two-year record for any major league pitcher since Dizzy Dean’s peak years of 1934 and 1935. Newhouser, the American league’s most valuable player last season, finished with 29 victories and nine losses for the Tigers. This year, with Detroit favored to win the pennant, he has won 20 and lost seven to date, which is the identical record lie possessed on August 21. 1944. Yesterday he won his fifth shutout of the year, a 4 to 0 job on the visiting Athletics, who were humbled twice. Les Mueller beat them, 4 to 1, with a four-hitter in the second- game. Newhouser was the first major league pitcher to hit tile 20-victory mark this season and unless lie cracks up in the waning weeks, should come close to his 1944 total. If he goes beyond 25 victories, he will be the first American league pitcher to do the job two years in a row since the regime of Robert Moses Groves of the A’s in 1932. Grove had a three ycar-span of 25

or more wins, with a 2510 record in 1932, 31-4 in 1931, and 28-5 in 1930. Dean, with the Cardinals in the National, had a 2812 record in 1935 and a 30-7 mark in 1934. The Washington Senators remained a game and a half behind the Tigers by winning two at Cleveland. Marino Piteretti pitched a three -hit shutout to win the opener, 7 to 0, and Alex Carrasquel hurled a 6 to 0 seven-hitter in,the ■second game. The Yankees made four runs in the ninth to top Chicago’s ace night game pitcher, Eaid Caldwell, 4 to 1. Walt Dubiel was the winner, though lifted for a pinch hitter in the big ninth. The Browns continued their 10 to G win over the Red Sox, which they sewed up with a sevenrun rally in the second. Ken Burkhardt, Cardinal rookie, became the first St. Louis pitcher to hurl three straight shutouts since Howie Pollet left for military service in 1943. Burkhardt blanked the Braves at Boston, 2 to 0. Chicago's lead in the Nnl.ional EM o - o

was reduced to six-and-a-half games when the Giants beat Cub ace, Hank Wyse, 9 to 3, at New York. It was the second straight defeat for Wyse, league leading pitcher with a record of 18-8. His defeats are the only ones the Cubs have suffered in a week. The Giants made 14 hits off Wyse before he was ousted in the eighth. Van Lingle Mungo coasted to his 14th win, giving no walks and scattering eight hits. Jimmy Foxx, who won hie first ! game as a major league pitcher ■ Sunday, came back yesterday to give the Phils their fourth straight win with a homer and a single which topped Cincinnati, 4 to 3. Foxx replaced Vance Dinges at first base when Dinges suffered a broken collarbone. Pittsburgh took advantage of seven Brooklyn errors to win, 11 to 1. Babe Dahlgren and Pete Coscarart hit Pittsburgh homers and 17-year-old Tom Brown got one for the Dodgers, which incidentally was the longest hit at Ebbets field this season. It landed in the upper grandstand in left field. Elwyn Roe won his 10th game, scattering eight hits. Yesterday’s Star — Ken Burkhardt, Cardinal rookie, who beat the Braves 2 to 0 for his third straight shutout. MAJOR LEAGUE STANDINGS

Heinlein Ihealened In Slate Golf Open Anderson, Ind., Aug. 21 —(UP) — Lanky Bill Heinlein of Noblesville held an uncertain grip on the In-

diana state open golf championship today. The champ, also holder of the Hoosier PGA crown, teed off in a three-day, 72-hole medal tournament at Grandview country club this morning, facing the toughest sort of professional competition. George Shafer, host pro, took the favorite’s position on the first day of medal play because of brilliant preliminary rounds. He was third in the 1944 tournament behind Heinlein. An amateur, Charles Harter of Indianapolis, came in for hie share of backing after shooting a 3-un-der-par 67 yesterday in the proamateur event. State amateur champion Paul Sparks of Indianapolis had a 68. Shafer’s four-main team won the preliminary with a best-ball score of 57. Shafer’s medal card was 63, three strokes over the course record. He had scored a 64 Sunday. Heinlein took a 66, four under, and his team, including Sparks and Harter, had a best-ball of 62 Ao -Aie..Jto£..S£C.Qnd., place with an Anderson foursome led by professional Howard Widener, another threat. Among the top were former open champion Bill Reid of Jasper, Nick Garbacz of South Bend, and 1943 state open champion Mike Stefanchik of Gary. Wayne Timberman, Indianapolis pro, won support to repeat his open victory in 1940 by carding a 65 and

leading a foursome to a best-ball 63 yesterday. Timberman was hiti ting his iron shots crisply. Another former ■tournament champion, veteran John Watson of South Bend, was on hand for another try for the crown. He did not participate in the pro-amateur event yesterday.

Joe iDiMaggio was. awaiting today the okay of army medicos to leave a convalescent hospital where he is recovering from a stomach ailment so he can rejoin the New York Yankees.

The report on the Peiping operation was sent to Lieut. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer by Lt. Gen. Takahashi, chief of staff of the North China garrison.

However, the Japanese requested the Americans not to enter Nanking and other areas of occupied China until the formal .surrender. The Canton team reported that after a tww-hour discussion with Maj. Gen. Tomita, chief of staff of Tanaka, it was decided to leave. “The reception was cold at first but ended on a cooperative, friendly basis,” the report said. “The troops were hostile. Since General Tomita has not received any offk cial notice that the war is over except by the Imperial edict heard on the radio he could not assure) the safety of the team and requested that they return to friendly territory.” The names pf the rescued Doolittle filers were not revealed pending reports to their next of kin.

o — o Toaay's Sports Parade I By Jack Cuddy Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) O "~ ” ° London, Aug. 21—(UP)—- O. R. GlanviH, chairman of the British lawn tennis association, believes the next Davis Cup finals will be held in Australia early in January, 1947. ' . ... Such a prediction by Glanvlll verges on the historic because this tall, lean, gray-haired man of 73 rarely sp&aks for publication. He probably is the most conservative and most respected individual in international tennis. His armor was penetrated by United States sports writers during the weekend U. 8. army tournament at Wimbledon, when he promised to hold a press confeience in London at the Cumberland hotel if we Americans would promise to drink tea. We made wry faces, much to his delight, but said , we would risk the gastronomic re-1 percussions to obtain the interview. Glanvill, properly suited in gray tweed, sat at the end of a long table and rolled like a boxer with the punch when they presented a fish course, seemingly the only entree in England, while the Americans rolled their eyes in holy horror. Glanvill, who has eeen every British championship tournament in the past 50 years — even those before Wimbledon — said, 1 Don t forget that Australia still holds the Davis Cup, which it won before the war.” “Since Australia is the defender, it is up to Australia to propose soon as resumption of Davis Cup play, which the Aussies will do because they are not only jolly good sports but excellent tennis players.” The preliminary rounds probably will be held in most countries next summer, but the finals will be put off until January in Australia, since that month corresponds “down under” with our July. The challenge round resulting from the preliminaries in the European and American zones probably will be staged at Forest Hills. N. Y. Glanvill said the United States was virtually certain to become the western hemisphere representative because “the development of excellent tennis players seems to be one of the main industries of both California and Florida.” But he was uncertain what country would represent the European ?one, being under the impression

I that plenty of tennis was played in various sections of France throughout the war although the better French players are not now known. Britain's prospects he described as uncertain because of six years of war. but he reported that several promising young players, most of them still in service, were being developed in the British isles. He doubted their ability to become sharp enough by next summer. Asked whether amateur and professional tennis players ultimately would meet in “open” competition, as in golf, Glasvill replied acidly: “Gentlemen you must, you rahl'y must, hgve another cup of tea." o OCCUPATION OF (Continued From Page Gt.*) surrender. Whether he personally would travel by plane or warship was not announced. It was possible that the Japanese announcement was based on the report of Japanese emissaries to the Japanese government and imperial general staff after receiving surrender orders from MacArthur’s staff in Manila yesterday. Japan notified MacArthur by . radio, that Lt. Gen. Torashiro i Kawabe, vice-chief of the imper- . ial general staff and chief of the - surrender mission, had landed at Tokyo at 8:30 a. m. tod|y (6:30 - p. m. Monday.
