Yankees Slice Indian's Lead To Two Games New York \ug. 25. — (UP) — Gene Wbodling has been in manager CSsey Stenkel’s dog-house so often he can almost be Expected to bark for his supper, but the quiet Yankee left fielder was ready to desert his canine companions for good today. .A' 1 \ -1 In fact, without Woodltng the Yankees would be in real trouble i On One of the hottest; hitting l streaks of his career while the other Yankee sludgers have been quieter than field mice, he has gotten 15 hits in his last 20 times at bat and four of Jhe 10 Yankees have picked hp in the critical two fame# just played •virith the Indians. ' 5 . / * - Last night he produced the only runs of the game with his 13tn . ihomer, a two-run blast off Early Wynp ip the seventh inning that gave the Yankees a 2 to 0 tri- ~ umph and cut Cleveland’s lead to two games Stengel, with that Special help from Woodling, got with a colossal gamble when he started soft-stuff Stubby Overmire In the 1 big game. It was a desperation move and it worked; although Overmire needed collaboration from releiver Joe Ostrowski, who gained credit for the victory, his sixth? Ostrowski came in during /the sixth when the Indians had runners on first Aand third. He got the side out, pitched three-hit ball the rest of the way, and also singled ahead of Wqodling’s homer. The White Sox kept the Red Sox from gaining on the pace-set-1 * ters by downing them. 3 to 2. as Lou Kretlow pitched five-hit ball to win his fifth game and Eddie Robinson drove in two runs with' a double, and single. Boston now is five out of the lead.

u —— , o I Today's Sport Parade | (Reg.U. S. Bet. Off.) | ' By Oscar Fraley 0 4 — New York. Aug. 35—fop) — Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: It’s an old saying in sports that you should always ride with the champion—and in the case of the fading Philadelphia Phillies, it still goes. The Phils probably wort’t retain the National League title, being so far behind they couldn’t hear the world’s champion hog caller. Manager Eddie Sawyer was irate, and reinstituted last year’s midnight bed cfieck and morning report for meal money. So president Bob Carpenter, to soften the blow, upped the on-the-road meal money from $6 a day to |3 a day ... that's two bucks a day better than any other club, so you can see it pays to ride with the champion. . . \ f In what may be the first of an annual series, a U.

A 19-year-old girl put police on the trail of the wooded rendezvous. She told them hoodlums sponsored the hideaway where certain members were coached to steal and to perforin abortions. Sheriff William; Locks said he had questioned other members of the ring identified by the girl. He said his investigation disclosed that the gang leaders confiscated the loot stolen by the youthful members. Boys who returned empty handed were whipped, Locks said he was told. Disclosure of the ring was the latest in a series of sex revela-

tions that have turned up in several Hoosier towns. 1 1 - V The girl said that the area was . known as "hot-rod heaven” because of the large number of stripped down autos and motorcycles Which gathered there. Prosecutor Graham W. McGowan sald< the girl’s story implicated more than 100 boys and girls from several neighboring cities including Niles Mich., Mishawaka, Goshen, Elkhart__and Argos, Ind. The girl was arrested several days ago when she "acted intoxiLocks said. A short titne later, fwo boys and a 20-year-old girl also were arrested. McGowan said they substantiated most of what the younger girl said.

McGowan said no charges would be filed in the i case until the Investigation was completed.

Shoestring Nature Os Airforce Shown Maneuvers Show Up Shortage Os Planes Maxton Air Force Base, N. C., Aug. 25 —(UP) —The shoestring nature of an important segment of the U. S. air force was pointed up today as the largest airborne exercise since World War II got underwhy. , Four groups of obsolete troops transports—C-46 Commandoes that have been outT of the headlines since the India-China *%ump” operations—were mustered to drop s,«<p paratroopers of the 82nd airborg( division behind “aggressor" lines in the climax of exercise “Southern Pine.” Commanding the operation is Maj. Gen. Thomas F. Hickey, 82nd division commander. Demands of the Korean and theaters have drained off mwt of the force’s limited number of modern C-119 packets, transports especially designed for troop and heavy equipment movement. Only 16 were available for the Carolina maneuvers together with four C-82’s, which are small, less-modern versions. Hence, the use of 96 commandoes, operated by reserve units from Dallas, Tex., Miami, Fla.; Memphis, WTenn.; and Columbus, Ind., who are in their first major Jralning mission since recall. They said their planes were in excellent condition. Os the 122 airplanes required for the airborne envelopment, onlypsix werfe of the light assault type that can breeze into a rough area, quickly unload Jigavy equipment and get away. ? According to present army trends, assault planes eventually will replace giant parachutes as the primary means of getting equipment into areas seized by paratroops. The six Chase C 422 planes used today represented the entire production of that type to date. And those six need strengthened nose wheels.
