Dodgers Open Long Stay At Home Tonight By UkIJED PRESS The devastating Dodgers, shooting for* victory, vengeance, and vindication, opened jl long home stand todajy with, the chance to become the greatest winning machine in the National league sinqe the gas-light era Cubs of 1906. As they returned in triumph with eight straight victories on their third romp through the West following an opening game setback 1 in Chicago, they stood -at .728 in the percentage with 59 victories; and only 22 defeats. Two clubs in ; the league, the Pirates and the Braves halve yet to beat the'Dodgers, and their opponents tonight, * .the Reds, have suffered 12 defeats, against a Ipne victory. Since the Dodgers have won IX straight from both the Braves and Pirates their combined won and lost record against the three bottom clubs in the league is an incredible 38-1. There is no evidence they will let up. Stung by the awful crackup of 1951 which cost them a pennant when they led by® 13% games as latp as Aug. 11, they are a grim and dpterrpined outfit this year, gaining momentum as they .go. Should they continue at their current pice—or better it—they wQuld surpass every winning per\centage in the majors since the 1906 Cubs won’ll6 games and lost but 36 to finish with a .763 figure —an all-tii|ne high. They are an even better bet to top three of the famed American league steam-rollers of more rek ceht years, the 1939 Yankees who had a 106-45 record for a .702 percentage, the 1931 Athletics who were 107-45 and .704, and the immortal Babe Ruth-sparked murderers’ row' ''•Yankees of 1927 at 11044 and .714. The Yankees, who lead by 4% games in the American league race, are also in a position to make a getaway! as the stretch stage apr proaches.\iThey begin a long five city 21-gan|p trip with a night double header'in Cleveland tonight If 195(| 7 CHEVROLETSEDAN Styline Deluxe SAYLORS J

I Today's Sport Parade I | (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) ; By Oscar Fraley r 0 ■ l . ' — ■' v ■ | 1 0 HELSINKI. UP —Fearless FriV ley has news today for the U. 4. postal service. y Wait a minute, fellahs. This fs not a complaint about the, letters I thought 1 wrote which havenU been received. . . I just want to tell you that if your feet ache —bathe them ip chianti, the mpst popular thirst quencher in Italy. This is a dandy little remedy which has proved its effectiveness in the heat of Olympic competj-. tion. And, fellahs. I’ll lax you a Finnish airmail against a three cents George Washington that th|s was tougher than all the ‘fain" and “snow" amj “storm of night’’ you have ever faced in your appointed rounds. Because a 3Oyear old amateiir hoofer nanied Giuseppe Dordoni pf Italy won the 50,000 meters walking event in the international games in approximately the world recorid time of four hours, 28 minutes. Don’t laugh. That’s more than ,11 miles, and if any of you guys in grey make that much on the hepl and toe in one day the postmaster general should give you a\ raise, i Dordoni is an unemployed bricklayer. That probably shapes up 4s one of the mysteries of the 15t|h Olympiad because nobody 4ver laid them down faster in recorded annals than this lad did. - 1 do not know wh|d the status quo of shipping pork through the mails is, but this guy has it. Wanting into the Olympic Amphitheater before some 45,900 cheering spectators, Giuseppe the magnificent hammed it up all the way through to the tape. He waved, he smiled, and he acted sincerely like a main meeting his in-laws for the first time. i Coming up to thk finish line, Giuseppe slogged his way to within one foot eight inches of the tape. Then he stopped, like Theda Bara or, not to date myself, Jane Russell, and indicated tliat the action camera has not reached the town of Piacenza,! Italy, froin where he hails. Piacenza, incidentally, is near Bologna—pronounced “baloney" in the too-distant U.S.A. Certain, finaly, that levery flash bulb had . been exploded, Giuseppe lurched through the tape—in world record time. 1 “On Sunday, naturally," Giuseppe expostulated, “I take my girl friend for a walk.” ! 1 I \ The rest of the time he spends in training, and, thanks to those daily baths in chianti, the poor man’s champagne in Italy, his dogs neVer do any barking although they might once in a while. One thing is sure. This is the only guy in the Olympics to date who has won in a walk. \ j i EThe Thousand Islands International Bridge between New York State and Ontario leapfrogs from island to Island for eight and a half miles. ■l■' ’ | • To 1 satisfy an kinds of needs, America’s nail producers make more than 100 different types of iron and steel nails.

U. S. Rowing Star Beaten In Semi-Final BULLETIN HELSINKI, UP—Sim Innis, < Los Angeles, won the Olympic discuss championship today with a record throw of 55.03 meters 180 feet 6.60 Inches. - ' - J TT ' HELSINKI. UP —John B. Kelly Jr., of Philadelphia again was denied the only major sculling title he never has won when he was eliminated today in the semi-finals of the Olympic singles event in a photo finish. While his American supporters lined the Meilahti course and shouted "Let's go, Kelly!” 1 the young U. S. rowing star barely was beaten by Teodor Kocerka, Polish champion. The judges decided to examine the photo of the race after first announcing that Kocerka had won. The picture confirmed their original; decision. ' j Kelly, who also was beaten in the semi-finals of the 1948 single sculls event, had no excuses for bls defeat today. “I guess the Pole just had it,” he said after the race. “I kept expecting him to weaken but he just kept going On.” Kbcerka was timed in seven minutes and 41.8 seconds over the : 2,O<A)-meter, about 1.24 miles, course . , . Kelly was only twotenths of a second slower. America’s three discus throwers qualified for the finals of the event this afternoon, although Fortune Gordien, Minneapolis, just made it on bis third and final try. Sam Iness, Los, Angeles and Jim Dillon, Upper Sanduskyj Ohio, made it easily. , Gordien. throwing with his' sweat; shirt on, failed to make the qualifying distance of 46 meters, 150 feet, IIVb inches, on his first two trie?. He then removed his sweat clothes and came through with a toss of 165 feet, 2 inches. It was the best American effort. Mai Whitfield tried for an historic repeat as 800-meter champion today and three Americans aimed for a sweep of the first three places in the pole vault as the United States attempted to overtake Russia in the team competition. ' The Yanks aliev another chance to score points in the discus throw, where three U; S. stars are given an outside chance of upsetting Champion Adolfo Consolini of Italy. Russia, with <a strong showing, Monday night iri Gymnastics, lead the Unofficial team competition with L2B points to 72 for the United States. Heat Treatment To Continue In State Heat To Continue For Rest Os Week INDIANAPOLIS, (UP) — Indiana will get the heat treatment — temperatures near 100 degrees—’ through the rest of the week, weathermen predicted today; Only prospect of relief from a five-day old heat wave was for that portion of the statd bordering Lake Michigan. A outlook said it will be “cooler in the extreme north by the week end.’’ fUnttil then* temperatures will average four degrees above nor* mal upstate and eight degrees above in the south. This indicates daytime readings of 93 to 100 degrees, nighttime readings near 70 or more. \ The new siege of blistering weather already claimed at least one victim. Anna Stif ter, 72. Blanford, died in Evansville state hospital Os heat exhaustion. . • The mercury boiled tj> a hifch of 98 in Evansville Monday. It was 97 a} Columbus and Vincennes, 95 at Fort Wayne and Marion, 94 at Terre Haute, and 93 at Indianapolis and Lafayette. Overhight readings ranged from 71 at Rochester to< 79 at Indianapolis. Scattered thundershowers are expected in Northern Indiana tonight, Weathermen said showers will I continue over the state throughout the next live days with precipitation averaging from onefourth to three-fourths inch.

Warplanes And Artillery Pound At Communist Lines PANMUNJOM, Korea, (UP) — Truce met for only five minutes today and dimming hopes tor a Korean cease-fire. Results of thh. : session were cloaked by a news blackout produced only a tight-lipped “no commerjit whatsoever” from Lt. Col. J aseph J. Borchert, new spokesman for the United Nations delegation. It was the shortest of 15 . secret meetings. However, both sides agreed to meet again at 11 a. m. Wednesday. The Communists and the Allies apparently are as bitterly divided as ever on repatriation of war prisoners, the soje issue holding up a truce. Radios Peiping again berated the U. N. for its. "plot” to retain 100,000 Red prisoners. Brig.,Gen. ( William \P|| Nucko; s, retiring N. spokesman, said in a farewell statemejnt that the Communists are liars "thbr|oughly without honor.” Nuckols, returning to his old post as Far East air force public information officer, has bepn at the truce negotiations for 54 weeks.

N. warplanes and artille/y, setting the stage for an Allied cotHiterattack, poured a withering barrage today at Chinese Communist soldiers w ho. drove the Allies off a part .of Old Baldy" hill. The bombs, rockets, machinegun fire and napalm hurled at the Reds were d?signpd to “soften up” the enemy in preparation for another assault on thef hill, west of L CHorwon on the west-cen-tral front. In a thundering artillery duel this the U. N. knocked out. one of four Red tanks maving up to support the Reds. The battle began Thursday. Friday the Communists drove the Allies off the hill, but the Allies regained the blopdy height Monday aftsr a seven-hour fight; The tired U. N. infantrymen were forced to yield a part of the hill today in an attack by what appeared to be a of Chinese Reds.

Jphn J. ‘Sparkman of Alabama. The New Deal wing of the {krty was spoiling for a on the convention flpor to dramatize the candidacy of its presidential contender, Averell Harriman of New'York. Harriman lieutenants said frankly they hoped to fbrce a showdown ■before the full convention —and the television caiperas—on a proposal by Sen. Herbert H. Lehman of .New York Tor a plank pledging the Democrats to outlaw the senate filibuster. They said that is the key to the whole civil rights \issue, because the south traditionally hai4 used the filibuster to talk to death civil rights legislation.

Young Roosevelt Is Warmly Acclaimed Urges Approval Os Moody Resolution CONVENTION HALL, Chicago, UP — He smiled a wide smile, a confident smile, and for the moment there appeared the ghost of FDR. | | _ The huge audience at the Democratic national convention caught it too and roared with cheers at the magic name of Franklin D. Roosevelt —this time, Junior, congressman from’New York. > Standing in the full glare of television lights early today, he took the accUim with the same poise, the same cock of the head that his late i father displayed when president. Young Roosevelt went before the convention to urge approval of a resolution by Sen. Blair Moody that delegates do their best to see that party nominees get on state ballots in November. This was distasteful to southerners. Sen. Spessard Holland of Flo-, rida offered a watered-down substitute. Young Roosevelt, 37, using a voice that may not have enunciated as roundly as his father’s, showed, however, that he had learned his father’s way of putting over biting sarcasm, “Your state lavfs,” he told the delegates, "do not prevent you from putting the Democratic nominees on the ballot in November, do they?” Then he brought rousing cheers and whistles when he thundered: “Do not take this wishy-washy-do-nothing. say-nothing amendment of Senator Holland.” His father might have used neater, more incisively cutting words than young Roosevelt, but they couldn’t have been more effective. The majority of the delegates and the packed galleries bellowed approval. He brought the audience to its feet when he said softly : fc “If every citizen is afforded the right to vote for a Democratic nominee I assure you there will be another general who has faded away.” . ; \\ With a typical Rooseveltian wave of the hands and smile to the galleries lie called for silence. "Don’t use up too much of my time,” he said. Junior had scored in his first speech t<) a Democratic convention. The Old MTn would have been p*roud.
