Johnny Mke “ Slams Out Two Hornes In Game New York, Individual stars finally had a chance for some attention today after a season of unprecedented < mphasis on )eam a<ion. „ .Johnny Mize' of the Giants. With Wiis prodigious tome run feats, has been the closeWthing to a consistent individual headliner, but no one hag dominated the sports pages as Tew Wfams did last year. Instead, the'headMnes havfetold of "Dodgers nip CaiW.in crucMrgame.’ and “Yankees win, movjMarther ahead. i '? v But the «ujnant races marked time yesteiwiy as Dodgers, Cardinals and lost and the Red Sox got only a split, so the spotlight went onto the individuals. Mize, as iwual, led the headlines with his 41st and 42nd home runs, and he needs 18 more fourv ba gers ijfe,33 ganjfe to tie Babe Ruth's record of 60 in a season. | Williams, with a of fanfare, has climbed to Che top the American league in hitting despite the defensive shift, and his three hits in seven tries in the doubleheader left hint&C .343. Harry Walker still national league witl@349 ami may be the new batting chwp unless he goes into an unbelievable .dump. The most glory went to Phil Marchildon, Athletic righthander, who had a perfect game M l ' eighth innings against Cleveland and lost a no-hitter the nijftb, then won his 16th victory of the year with a 12th-inning double. And in Brooklyn, where things always are different, the didn't know whether they had a new star or not in Dau Bankhead, 26-year-old righthander who became the first negro major league pitcher. His hurling was slammed for 10 hits and eight runs in three innings, but he himself retaliated with a two-run homer. Pittsburgh walloped,the Dodgers. 16 to 3. making Hal Gregg the loser and bringing Bankhead o* the second inning. They drOtied him just as hard, charting him dur ing the course of a seven-run fifth inning. Bankhead's homer came on his first major league at-bat. St. Loijgs stayed Mix sanies behind Brooklyn when Bill Voiselle (topped the Cajife with three hits as Boston won, 5 to 1. Bob Elliott gave Voiselle batting support with four hits.

Stale Fair Racing i To ■ ® r 8 Indianapolis, Aug. 27 —(UP) — ’ Hoot Mon, tlufc wijfc ner, won’t coreipete in the four itP stake races next week at the Indiana state fair, but he will be ‘ on hand, alona most of other star perfeiners and drived of the grand circuit. The five-day, $120,0(f0 gran® cir--1 cult meeting over the state fairgrounds’ lightning-fast, one-mile tracjjK. opens Labor day. The program actually AKU-rts “local” races. A. G. Norrick, superintendent of the . .race program, said Hoot Mon wilWritn in “on# 1 or two” overnight The $50,000 Castleton farm’s beauty isn’t eligible for the stake races. When he was foaled three years ago, his owners didn’t think enough of his chances to enter him. The same is true of GooS> Bay, who set the historic Fox stake refedfd here last September. The classy three-year-old pacer also will compete in overnight according to Norrick. As usual, there will be four races of national interests’ These are the $30,000 Fox stake for tuyo-year-old pacers—sometimes called the “pacer’s Hambletonian;” the $28,0001 Horseman stake for two-year-old trotters, and the Horseman’s stake races for trotters and pacers. Ten of the Hambletonian entries) will run in the three-year-old trot. Hoot Mon an£ the second-place Hambletonian -finisher —Rodney— will be missing. Rodney was left out for the same reason as , JJoot Mon.’ However, Way Yowder, Deanna Hanover and Volotone are entered. The trot, perennial proving ground for Hambletonian contenders, has a classy field. Hoot Mon won it last year, £Kd then continued a tradition that says its ‘ winner goes on to victory in file. * Hambletonian as a three-year-oldc * Madison A brown colt 1 owned by the famed Ben White, t has stepped the mile around 2:04 ‘ already this year, and he will be 1 the favorite. Kentuckian, owned £ and dJtven by Fred Egan; the Saun- ' ders stable's Egan Hanover, and E. C. Moriarty’s Mighty Ballad s head the list of other top con- ( tenders. • The Fox stake also has a “hands- 1 down” favorite — the brown colt ! Friscoway from ’ the E. J. Baker 1 stable at St. Charles, 111. He has done 2:02-2/5 already, jus? two- 1 fifths of a second off Goose Bay’s stake record. Future Counsel, own- ’ ed bhd driven veteran Doc Par- 1 shaiji the refresher, from the Mid- * west stables; and Mrs. Hettie Dun- 1 kin’s Guinea Gold probably will 1 provide much of the opposition.

Moore indicated if the league installed another team in Chicago, it would L|y to establish a program of playing' double-header games with the Chicago Stags of the rival basketball association of America in the Chicago stadium . “We’ve ratified our peaeff pact w I he BBAA,” he said, “and there would be no objection to our playing on (joublejjffls with the stags.

Long Drills Held By Jacket Grid Squad Cooler weather brought a heavier schedule Tuesday for Decatur high school Yellow Jacket football sqagd, and Coach Bob Worthman sent Sts charges throujfi two long drills. A heavy schedule 16, on deck for all this week, •with morning and afternoon drills and a night practice the last of the week. Coach Worthman has divided the squad into two sections and gives every plaj’er an opportunity at both defense and offense. Offense was on the menu for the tentative first stringers Tuesday afternoon and Kenny Grant, Don Grant and Ray Lehman broke loose several times for length of the field runs. Wefel did a good job at quarterbacking as the fourth man in the backfield. The rest of the tentative lineup Tuesday included Baughn and Heller at ends; Grote at center: Pet ergon and Bogner at guards and Burnett and Gilbert at tackles. There are a dozen others pressing hard for spots on the starting lineup and Coach Worthman said every position was wide open. D. Myers, Stults, McConnell and Reynolds are amorlß the several others who will gefc a crack at first string spots. Freeby and Foley still absent from practice because of injuries, but it is believed they will be back in a few days. There are about 40 candidates for the team, and indications are a few more will report when school starts next Tuesday. Several freshmen look good in drill and with a little experience they will make it tough for the veterans. As soon as the baseball schedule is completed, the squad will hold more night drills, since all eight games will be played at night. This year’s Yellow Jacket squad is light and will have to depend largely on speed, and they’re getting plenty of plays which have [toot relief I GUARANTEED OR ■ YOUR MONEY BACK WHY SUFFER? £ ——----- New, Sensational Velva -Sole Arch Restorers Will in most cases, give complete relief of nearly ail types of common foot ailments suclCas weakened arches, metatarsal callouses, pressure from corns, leg pains, sore heels, weak pronated ankles. ’ EXPERTLY FITTED BY LANE’S 3 SHOE STORE
