Indians Move Within Half Game Os Lead New York, Aug. B.—(VP)— The Boston Red Sox, who expected to zoom to the top of the American league during their current home stand, found themselves picking up speed today—but downward. V In fact, the tichly>paid Boston 1 ions 'could be falling right out of I the pennant race unless they put! a sudden halt to the losing streak I which reached four games last ■ night when they took a 7 to 4j Peking at the, hands of the lowly I Philadelphia* Athletics. 1 Meanwhile"the Cleveland Indians marked ap a 5 to 1 triumph over the St. Louis ' Browns to move within it half-game of the Yankees. '■ _ .. ■ ... Most startling thing about Red Sox’ sudden slump is that .t has come at home, where the Boston belters have been virtually invincible year after year; When they opened their present home stand on July 22, they were bn?v/ two percentage points behind the Yanks and neded only one of their familiar “big” home records to take charge of the race. So What happened? Last night's loss made their record for' this stand seven wins and eight defeats. Instead ,of being in the thick ol the race. they, have got to come fjoin behind ail over again.

Baseball Czar Field Reduced Toll Names New York. Aug. B.—(UP) — Baseball’s new /commissioner, who almost certain to be named on ,\ug. 21, will have more power and l etter job security, big league owners indicated to*day, despite the paradoxical fact that they fired their last boss because they figured he was too powerful for them. The most significant development in yesterday's lengthy meetings at which the field of com--missioner candidates was reduced •o 11 men, was that a committee was named to re-define the powers of the office. < The committee consisted of t\ arren Giles, general manager of the Cincinnati Reds, vice president Bill DeWitt of the St. Louis Lrow-ps, and Branch Rickey, general . manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers., They will meet -Between no v end Aug. 21 and act upon a mandate , of the club owners to “put .iiorei teeth into the

Del Webb, co-owner of the New York Yankees and chairman of the commissioner screening committee which called yesterday’4 meeting, said it. was likely that the new commissioner will have almost as much power as Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, who became ruler of the game after it was alinost destroyed by the Chicago ' Black Sox”.scandal of 1919. No such scandal hovers over . sport now, but it is beset with ! legal entanglements, declining attendance, a full dress hearing in Washington on its controversial i reserve clause, a deterioration \of i the structure of minor league ball, and the problems of radio and television. Thus, Webb emphasized that the owners wanted a man with . full authority to take over the game and make major authorita- , tive decisions. To get the caliber of man necessary, they will have *o make some concessions. For one thing, it is almost certain that the three-quarters sup- ’ port rule to stay in office will be abolished. The club owners who . supported the deposed commissioner, A. R. (Happy) Chandler, should see t,? that. There were nine of the 16 who stuck with him until it was apparent he po longer , lad a chance to get the 12 (or three-quarters of 16) total necessary in a vote of confidence. ) . -r Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
