Today the Yankees were In fourth place because they have dropped two out of three games on a crucial western road trip to the seventh place Browns and the last plate White Sox Had they won all three, as they figured to do. they would have Ireen In second place, less than a game out of the lead. Last night the White Sox topped them. 8 to 7. even though Tommy Henrich hit his third grand slam homer of the year, and it was highly significant that after the Yankees had scored one run in a ninth inning rally, their big pm, Joe Dimaggio, hit into a game-end-ing double play. Their big winner of the 1947 championship season, Allie Reynolds. was knocked out as a starter. and Joe Page, the best relief pitcher in the business a year ago. was equally ineffective.

D 0 | Today's Sport Parade I By Oscsr Frslsy ’ I (Rep. U. B. Fst. Off.) I 0 0 New York. July 31—(UP)— Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: Stan Muslal. the St. ixtuis Cardinal outfielder currently up in the slugging stratospheie as he shoots at the .4bo mark, has a weakness after ail. According to one player. Musia) "slows down between second and third." That’s a criticism along the lines of the one Arky Vaughan delivered to Erv Palica. Ifodger pitcher. P*allca almost had his head torn off by a double which Musial slashed through the box. "You didn’t play him deep enough," Vaughn told the shaken pitcher . . . Tuesday night will be the "night of stars" at Philadelphia's Shlbe park. Some of the old timers on hand will Include Cy Young, lionus Wagner. Cy Williams, Otto Knabe. Hans Lobnrt. Harry Coveleskle. Hill Klllefer. Jimmy Foxx. Howard Ehmke. l-efty Grove. George Earnshaw, Cy Perkins. Mike O'Neill. Huck Betts. Rube Wai berg and Charley Gelbert . . . Think of what they would do. In their prime, for the competing Phils and Pirates of today . . . Horsemen, maybe even more than the rest of ns. are deeply superstitious. Some of the turf hoodoos sre supposed to be the number 13. workouts on Sundsy and piebalds and grays. One of the worst Is having a horse with four white "stockings." A lievonshire rhyme goes: “If you have a horse with four white legs, keep him not a day: “If you have a horse with three white legs, send him far away: “If you have a horse with two white logs, sell him to a friend: "If you have a home with one white leg. keep him to the end.**

Rut a horse named Briar White Is shaking that "gypsy curse" at Monmouth park. The Briar Is a steady winner, despite four "stockings'* . . . Greeting l-eo Dnrocher when he took his managerial place in the Naw Yojk Giant dugout, coach Stove Owen of the New York Giant foot hall team aaid: "Welcome back to the major leagues, Leo."

July 31—(VP) — The I’nited States, Britain and Prance today weighed the chance* of getting a hearing on the Berlin blockade before the Soviet court of last resort Premier Josef Stalin Reliable Informant* said such an approach was being considered by the three powers after th* Soviet foreign office reported that Soviet foreign minister Viacheslav .M. Molotov "is on vacation." The second round of western strategy to deal with the Soviet siege of Berlin had envisaged face-to-face talks between Molotov and diplomatic representatives of the three nations and Molotov. But this idea fell flat because of Molo tov's absence from the Soviet capital. Because of the serious Implication* of the blockade, informant* doubted that the Ajn*ri ( '*U- British and French representatives would be willing to discuss the problem with any Soviet official* other than Stalin or Molotov. It was believed In official quarter* here that the next move would be to determine whether a conference could be arranged with Stalin Informants said that it he shoufd be on "vacation" to or reject a meeting with the western representative*, then the respond bllity for dangerous implication* of the Berlin blockade would rest solely upon the Russian* Two Men Arrested Early This Morning Robert Hummer. 29. of Preble, and Fred Aakram. 22. of Irvin, Pa. a earnlval worker, were arrested *a charge* of disorderly conduct at IJI o'clock this morning Tim* of their arralgniaent has not yet been set.
