Wabash College coach Garland Fraslef accepted the job of handling the eastern All-Stars and Evansville College's new grid coach Paul Beck agreed to take the western All-Stars. Frailer coached last year's victoi'ious northern taam thp southern squad. His chances of repeating are dim, however, sinte his eastern team will not include either the powerful Lake county or Evansville gridders. The Wabash coach won three football letters at Ball State and played tackle in the navy for the undefeated 1944 Oklahoma Sooners. He coached three years at his high school alma mater, Bicknell. Beck Is a native of Worthington and got his collegiate degree at Indiana State. He coached football and basketball at Oblong and Harvey high schools in Illinois before moving to Evansville. Teams for these two coaches will be picked by the state's sports writers and sportscasters. The squads will report to coaches on Aug. 15 at Butler and will drill for a full Week before the twilight encounter. Proceeds from the game are scheduled to go to the nurses scholarship fund of the Indiana department's American Legion 40 and 8.

Indians' Lead Is Reduced To Game And Half NEW YORK (INS) — The American League race has turned into the hottest skirmish in years, with the New York Yankees clipping along at a faster pace than any of the last five championship clubs and still In second place. The Cleveland Indians have set so blistering a pace this year that the Yankees' 67th victory Thursday—a 10-to-0 triumph over Chicago — left Casey Stengel more wins than .he has enjoyed in five years at this stage of the race. When the Yankees reached the lOOth-game stage ’last year, they were eight games ahead of the Tribe. Today they are 1% games behind, all adding credence to Stengel’s prediction that the champion this year will have to win no less than lOff games. The Bombers, who muffed •»• chance to take over the lead last week by losing two of three games to Cleveland, are sizzling along virtually unnoticed. They have won 37 of 49 games in the last seven weeks, for a .755 average. The Tribe has clipped along at .714 in the same period with 35 of 49. The Yankees cut Cleveland's lead bi a full game Thursday as southpaw' Whitey Ford froze the White Sox on a four-hitter before 22,995 Coiriiskey Park patrons. Successive singles by Bill Showron, Andy Carey and Gerry Colemanscored the first of four rungin the second inning to give the Yanks all they needed. Carey led the 13-hit attack against loser Jack Harshman and three helpmates with three hits and three FBl’s. The Indians, meanwhile, were being blasted, 10 to 2, by Boston. Detroit took over fourth place from Washington by downing Philadelphia, 4 to 2 and 7 to 3. The Senators fell behind two percentage points despite a 6-to-0 triumph over Baltimore. ~ t v The New York Giants retained their two-game National League lead although blanked, 8 to 0, by St. Louis. Brooklyn also fell, 6 to 5, before Chicago.

; 1 ip l ',"7 I'lll pi I I 111 Hool Evers Returns To Detroit Tigers DETROIT (IN) —What prompted Detroit to buy back Hoot Evers, a 35-year-old outfielder who had been snubbed by all of the enemy camps? ■Can the Tigers really use him in their bid to finish high ki the American League or did they take Walter from the New York Gitots Thursday for sentimental reason®? Evers is only the second Tiger to rejoin the team after leaving. The other instance involved Billy Hitchcock, who was sold to the Washington Senators in 1946 and obtained from Philadelphia in the winter of 1953 in exchange for Don Kolloway. Evens left the Tigers in the big swap in 1952. The Tigers bought him back after Evens had been waived by every major league club. In 11 times at <bat this year be had one hit, a home run. It is true' that' the 35-year-old outfielder can be used defensively in left field while Jim Dels Ing is sidelined with an ankle injury. But thetre is little doubt that it was mostly sentiment that prompted manager Freddie Hutchinson to bring Evers back to the team on which he achieved his greatness. HutChitibon and Evers have been friends for years. When Hutchinson heard that Root had. been snubbed by all of the enemy caipps, iterhaps his mind turned 'back to the spring of 1941, when Evens, fresh from the University of Illinois, was alloted uniform No, 27, the number worn by, the great Ep.rl Averill. Or perhaps it was 1946 “Hutch” was thinking about, when Evers was hailed as the rookie of the, year. (Maybe, too,, he flashed back tb July 14, 1948, when the headlines blared out that Evers was a hero at the all-etar gatne. Al bat for the first time in bis initial all-star game. The Hoot 'hit a homerun, the second player ever to achieve, this feat. . The fact that Hoot' paid a price for baseball glory may have oc-, curred to Hutchinson, too, since (Evers was the most Injured player, in Tiger history. , It was probably a little bit of alt of these memories that promp-’ ted Hutchinson to bring Evers home again. ’ i 1 -,'j ' • - < lit n -—-—- ' ~ Jf y<?U'have aomething (o sell br rooms for rent, try a Demociiat Want Ad.
