Athletics Are Surprise Team Os Big Leagues N*w York. July 5. (UP) There ' were some crazy things in the ma- • jo league standings today after the traditional mid-summer holiday : mlltsitone, but the one hardest of I all to figure out was the fact that . the Philadelphia Ahletics were tied for second place in the American > league. There they were, practicaliy everybody's "best lief to finish in last place, tied with the Detroit Tigers ■ and given as good a chance as any of the other teams in the league to stop the runaway Yankees That wasn't the onlv surprise Who would have thought that last year'.* classy pennant winners, the Cardinals in the National and the Red Sox in the American, both would be in fourth place? Or that the Giants, who were atmut ax bad in the National last season and the A's were In the American, would I be In third? But the A'a, who finished the 1946 campaign 55 game* behind the Red Sox. weie a half-same ahead of them at this measuring point today and it wax mainly because of their domination of the ounceproud Bostonians that they held such a lofty estate. For the A's scored their sixth straight victory over the Red Sox. 8 to 6, in 12 Inninge yesterday, in the first game of a double header before Tex Hughson forgot his arm miseries and pitched a three-hit, 4 to 0 Boston shutout in the second I'game. The Yankee*, probably mindful of the fact that the American league leader on July 4 lias won the pennant for seven straight yearn and in 21 years out of the laet 32. increased their margin to 7*4 games by topping the Senato-s, 7 to 3 and 4 to 2, st New York. The Indians banked out a 13 to 6 victory then fought to a 4 to 4 tie with the Tigers at Cleveland, the second game being called by agreement after the ninth to per mit a firwork* display in Municipal Stadium. Cleveland provided baseball pyrotechnics with six homers, two each by Joe Goidon and Eddie Robinson and one by Ken Keltner in the flint game and one by Pat Seerey in the second. The Browns divided with the White Sox at St. Ixruis, Fred Sanford going the route for the first time this season to win the second game, 10 to 2. as Jeff Heath drove in five Brownie run* with a grand slam horner and a single Chicago took the opener. 6 to 3. Biooklyn wound up in the National league lead on the holiday for the sixth time in eight years •nd hoped that the July 4 “jinx'' would not prevail ae the race progressed for the Dodgers have won only one pennant In that stretch. They drubbed the Giants. 16 to 7. in a morning game, then came liack to take the afternoon contest, 4 to 3. Mort Cooper hit a second game homer for the Giants, giving them a new league mark of homers In 15 straight games. Boston kept pace with Brooklyn, taking over second place with 10 to 3 and 7 to 1 wins at Philadelphia. Frank McCormick set the 15-hlt pace in the opener with a double, triple and two singles as Johnny Sain won his 10th game. The Cards topped the Cuba, 7 to 0. at Chicago behind the three-hit pitching of George (Red) Munger, then succumbed, 5 to 4, despite a four run rally in the eighth of the second game as the teams remained tied for fourth Ewell Blackwell scored his 12th straight victory, hie fifth shutout.

Carl Wilhelm Here Io Visit Friends Handicapped Local Youth Making Good Carl Wilhelm, once a resident of this city. Is back here on a visit with a anecesa story rivalling that of Horatio Alger. Jr-espec-ially considering the fact that he was unable to speak or hear at birth. It is unfair to say that Carl Is a mute. First of all there are plenty of words he can distinctly pronounce In his guttural tones and If you don't want him to "hear" what yon are saying, be sure he cannot see your mouth, for he Is an expert “Bp reader.” Carl came hack for a visit and It .is suspected he had a twofold i reason. The reason, besides the one which says he wax anxious to visit old friends, it is hinted, was a desire to give the town folks a look at his bride of 18 months She is the former Ruth Herbold. a comely little girl of 25—and like Carl she Is unable to speak or hear. But they have little trouble “talking" to each other. The sign language—plus some of their own | Ingenious “shorthand conversation" leaves them little to want In the way of converting with each other. Carl left here in 1940, but before he went away he learned the shoe cobbling trade. He actually left to Join Walt Disney's studios in Hollywood. It will be remembered. for he is an expert cartoonist. But he went back to his trade. Today he owns a shoe shop in Marion. lowa—and he “said" he was seriously thinking of starting another one here. Newspapers in Marion “played up" the story of Carl and his wife operating the shop, telling how the two conduct their business as if there was nothing unusual about two people in business who can neither speak nor hear.
