Def roil Lead Is Reduced To Single Game Vnited Press Staff Corresponden New York, Aug. 30 (UP) I Tommy Bridges, the little guy with the great big curve ball is in good shape, what a sight it will be for Detroit Tiger manager Steve O’Neill, the day he starts taking ids I 'gular turn on the mound. Nothing could be a bigger ghot-in-tite arm to their penmint chances unless slugger Dick Wakefield popped tip from the navy. The Tigers are better situated for pitchers than they were a year ago when they lost the pennant on the last day of lite season. Instead of jiiet Dizzy Trout and Hal Newhouser they have Al Benton, one of the league's top percentage pitchers. However. Benton isn't winning now and that hurts. Henion, who started the season! with the best earned run average in tile league, won five straight, lost one ami then broke his leg. Coming back six weeks later he I ■ran his record to 11 wins and two losses. Then something happened. Since his last victory was on Aug. 6 he Ims lost three. During that, stretch he started five games l and finished none. At the start of the season he won his first six. without relief. O'Neill used him in a different role at St, Louis last night putting him in to relieve starter Les Muelin the third. The Browns got

Resume Winchester Races On Labor Day Winchester. Ind., Aug. 30 —Once again, after a three year moratorium, the mighty roar of speeding racing machines will echo forth from Funk’s famous Winchester Speedway on Labor Day, Sept. 3. The decision to hold a race meet this year was reached with an eye to giving the major drivers of the country a chance to blow off the head of steam they have been developing ever since organized auto racing was stopped by the ODT in July. 1942. That consideration, along with public demand for a race at the famous thirty-year-old speed course prompted Mr. Funk to set the date for the show on Labor Day, which will give him and his crew junt time to get everything ready for the event. The leading drivers of tire AAA have indicated that they will he on hand to tussle with all comers fur the $2,000 money bag which has heen put up for them to shoot at. They were told that even though AAA activities would not initiate uittil 1946, all AAA‘registered drivers could run at Winchester without being fined, as Winchester has been a AAA track in later years of competition. Thin announcement cn the part of Jim Lamb, acting secretary of the organization, prompted a flow of entries to the Speedway Home office at Winchester. The qualifying runs will start at

Aug. 30—(UP)—The end of the Major League races is exactly a month away today and both threaten to become so complicated that it is a welcome retreat io take time out and pick the 1046 winners, a much easier job. 3he Cards and Yankees can’t miss. Many a safer and shorter-ranged prediction has gone awry but in this case both clubs will be so heavily-endowed with talent that the major chore of the executives will be in deciding how to make the most efficient use of it. The fact that both teanls currently are in contention for the 1945 flag bodes well for the clas.s of players now operating for them, despite a war year in which Major League teams hit the bottom of the manpower barrel. But what is far more important is the fact that they have from two to three times ao many established stars as any other Major League teams. They each will have enough for alinoet three complete teams of Major League caliber when all service stars return. Lumping all the players, those who carried on in the final war year and the established regulars in military service, the Cards have 20 pitchers, 10 outfielders, two first basemen, four second basemen, two shortstops, three third basemen and three catchers. The Yankees are just as well off. To begin with General Manager Larry S. MacPhail has the promise of five players from the Cubs in completion, of their deal for pitcher Hank Borowy. Additionally, they have 16 pitchers, 10 outfieldensk three first basemen, ttvo secohd basemen, two shortstops, two third basemen and five catchers. The Cards could field a first line team consisting of Terry Moore, Enos Slaughter, and Stan Musial in the outfield; Johnny Hopp on (first, Jimmy Brown at second, Marty Marion at short, George Kurowski at third.
