Bates. IL, Mass Vinson said Ithe reason was that It would be better. If possible for the congress to reorganise tiie military establishment, rather than let the president do It. His announcement carried a hint that congress may not adjourn, as now tentatively scheduled, in midAugust Under the Reorganization act. any plan submitted by the l*resldent must lie before congress, while It is in session, for at least two months. Presumably, however, the congress could take some affirmative* action prior to expiration of that period, to get around the required delay. On the other hand, congress could kill the plan by adjourning ahead of the 60-day period. At the same time, chairman Millard E. Tydings. D..

Major Leagues Resume, Yanks Big Favorites New York, July 14. —(UP) The chase-me New York Yankees were established an even money bet today to win the American league championship as the season' cased past the half-way point. I Not even the Cleveland winning' Mreak-eight victories in the last nine games-could deter the betting brethren of broad way from priming the flagstaff at Yankee stadium for an impending pennant hoisting. They set down the Indians at 3 to I. the Red Sox at •'■ to 1,1 the Athletics at k to 1. the Tigers ' at 15 to 1, and Washington. St. Ixiul* and Chicago at a humbling 100 to 1. However, the betting odds did not reflect the crucial tinge which marks the current twist of the schedule. The Yankees must nowplay 12 games on the road, the Indians 13 at home. Thus, these next two weeks could well decide the race. The Yanks took to the rails five and a half games ahead of Cleveland in the standings with a good nine wins in 12 games record. But I the pitching, despite the 13 vic-’ torles of Vic Raschi. left a lot to be desired. During those 12 games only four hurlers went the dis-j tame Too. the Injury of clutchi louter Tommy Henrich was something to be feared, although there still was the bright light of Joe DLMaggio to dis|M>| most clouds which befall Casey Stengel's troupe. The Improvement of the Indians Is the most significant development of the past month. The Red Sox have come along, hut their current seven game winning streak Is balanced by the eight straight games they lost before July 4. The AJhletics have lost five in a row now and are tottering on the brink of pennant-hope disaster. Brooklyn was set up as an 11 to 10 choice in the National league race, half a game ahead of the Cardinals. The Dodgers play their next 13 games at home while the ! Cards, now a 9 to 5 choice with a four-game winning streak, must play 13 tough ones in the east.

'J Dutch farmer in New York s Orange county, bought a crippled mare and her ugly foal Rysdyk never could explain why the pair attracted him And he even had to canvas his friends to raise the 1125 purchase price. The colt was ungainly and never won a race but It earned an estimated *300.000 for the Orange county Dutchman That is the saga of Hambletonlan. lineal sire of 96 percent of today’s trotting horses Hambletonlan * name comes from the horsey English village of Hambleton. Rysdyk had a fondness for English horses and named his ragged colt in respect for the breeders of Hambleton. When Hambletonlan died in 1876, at the age of 27. he was the eminent sire of 1,300 sons and daughters. So It was natural, when the tro’ting moguls needed a name for their big annual race, that they should call it the Hambletonlan. This year, as usual, it wili he raced Aug 10 at G<mml Time track. Goshen. N. V. — just five miles from the farm where Hambletonlan was foaled 100 years ago. This will be the 24th running of trolling’s Kentucky Derby. The record for the mile race is two minutes flat, posted in 1947 by the victorious Hoot Mon. But never is It much more than that when the winning sulky sweeps under th" wire although Hambletonlan the famous horse for which the race is named, never bettered 2:40 in If!* few ill fated starts.
