Junior League All Tied Up In Torrid Race New' York. Aug. 30.—(UPJ — The Yankees may not know whether they are the American league's champions for a third straight year until they have played 27 more games but they Jlave already won permanent possession of- Ned Garver, the Browns’ star curve-bailer. The junior race had that pld look—all knotted up—and one good reason is the Yankees’ amazing success against the pitcher many consider the best in the American league. Garver hasn’t beaten the Yankees in the last two and a half years—eight straight decisions having gone against him—-and the latest was a 15 to 2 shellacking that vaulted the New Yorkers back into a tie with the Indians for the lead last night. The Indians, deep in a runfamine that threatens to strangle their pennant chances, had already suffered their third shutout in si* games—a 3 to 0 loss to the Athletics —when the Yankees took the field against Garver last night. Garver retired only one man before the Yankees had pounded him for four hits and five runs. They went on to blast 17 hits,, including homers by Mickey Mantle and Gil McDougald, as Allie Reynolds breezed to an easy two-hit victory. Cleveland wasted another fine pitching performance—this one by 17-game winner Mike Garcia and now have scored only eight runs in their last seven games. Gus Zernial had a hand in all Philadelphia’s scaring, blasting a two-run homer in the fourth, inning and scoring after hitting a double in the seventh. Alex Kellner scattered five hits to’ win his eighth game and score the first of his major league career. The Natinoal league race remained ’ unchanged as both the Dodgers and Giants wx>n. The Dodgers blasted 16 hits including Gil Hodges’ 35th and 36th homers of the season to submerge the Reds, 13 to 1. The Giants, getting brilliant three-hit pitching from Jim Hearn, to beat the Pirates, 3 to 1. It was the Giants' 17th victory in 18 games and answered the question of whether they could bounce back from their streakending 2 to 0 loss the previous day but it brought them no closer to their i goal—first place.' Hodges’ homers established a new club record for a single season eclipsing Babe Herman’s mark of 35 set in 19H They also sent him into a tie Trith Pittsburgh’s Ralph -"Kiner for the major league lead. Roy Campanella also homered for the Dodgers. It was No. 28 for the negro catcher. \ Dick Cole won his first big league game on his* 21st birthday, although Bob Chipman had to retire the last two batters, as the Braves beat the Cubs, 4 to 1, and Gerry St|aley won his 15th game thanks to fine\ relief pitching by Harry as the Cardinals defeated the Phillies, 3 tri 2. Robin Rjoberts suffered his 12th defeat for the Phillies. \ fed Williams hit his 27th homer as the Red Sox beat the Tigers, -7 to 5, and the s Senators defeated the White Sox? 2to 1, in 13 innings in other league games. Yesterday’s star: Gil Hodges, Dodgers—(gnashed his 35th and 36th homers to tie for the majorleague lead and drove in a total of seven runs as the Dodgers whipped the Cincinnati Reds, 13 to 1.

Gavilan Keeps Welter Title New York,’ Aug. 30. —(UP)fMatchmaker Al Weill began negotiations today for a return welterweight title bout between champion Kid Gavilan and Billy Graham at Madison Square Garden Oct. 26 because of the storm of protest agaifist Gavilan's threepoint victory over Graham last light. * ' • Amidst disorders that threatened a riot in the garden,-- dusky Gavilan of Cuba made a successful first defense of his I^7-pound crown when he was given a split 15-round decision by the eyelash margin of three points on the scorecard of referee Mark Conn. One fan tried to hit Conn wkji a stool as the referee climftfed down from the ring as most of the 8,137 fans were shaking the garden girders with their 10-min-ute booing. v Minor altercations broke su£ in various sections of the garden*, and one free-for-all started near the arena’s 50th streets exit. Special police were kept busy trying to prevent the disorders from getting out of hand. It was the third split decision between Gavilan And Irish Billy of New York. Each had won a 10-round split verdict in their two bouts before the Cuban became world champion by beating Johnny Bratton on May 18. Nevertheless, Gavilam 25, had gone into the ring at ,13-5 over the 28-year<>ld-. brownhaired New' Yorker because Graham had been comparatively inactive this year, whereas Gavilan had engaged in seven fights. Last night the Cuban stretched his winnig streak to 11 straight. That there was good cause for protest against the three-point {decision was indicated in a poll
