American Loop Pennanl Race Is Still Red-Hot ■NEW YORK (INS) —The next 10 days may tell the atoty in the dramatic American League pennant scramble. M’s still anybody’s flag and the Big Four has some hot wars on tap in the hectic battle for the summit. The New York Yankees, two percentage points and a half game ahead of the White Sox, open a nine game western tour, their final of the season, at Detroit tonight. "If we come bac# to New York on top as we are now,” Casey Stengel declared Monday, “the rest of ’em will have a tough time catching us.” The possibility is strong that the “catching" can happen tonight as the Chicago Go Sox have a twlnighter (booked with the lowly Baltimore Orioles at Comiskey Park. There definitely appears to be no easy street for the Yankees, White Sox, third place Cleveland Indians or fourth place Boston Red Sox. „ The Bombers, though they've won 10 out of their last 11 mostly against Paul Richards’ gosh awful Orioles, will be making a do or not bid on this final western fling. They have two games with the troublesome Bengals, three with the Indians, two with the White Sox and -two with the Kansas City Athletics. Os 32 games remaining on the entire Yankee slate, four are with the Chicox, five with the Indians, seven with the Red Sox and four with the Bengals. This is a rough grind. The White Sox, blessed with what amounts to the softest remaining schedule, have a golden opportunity this week. Tonight and Wednesday they meet the Orioles four times and after these endurance test twin bills Marty Marlon’s go goers get the seventh place Washington Senators for three games. Sunday it’s the Yankees in two. The up and down Indians, with their in and out “Big Three” pitching heroes and .marvelous bullpen. draw the Red Sox tonight and Wednesday, then tangle with the Yankees in three games and wind up with a twin 'MB-MwainbJ tha "Senators “Sunday” ”” The Indians are one game behind first place and the Red Sox, still vary much a factor, are four and a half behind. After Cleveland, Boston gets Detroit and Kansis City on this week’s western menu. There's no place like home, even j if Ebbets Field is obsolete and the Dodgers want to vacate the premises. They have an—H game lead In the National League and they’re more than glad to be back from the west to tangle with the Chicago Cubs tonight. So glad, in fact, that Manager Walter Alston put his team through

Crazy Happenings In Today's Sport World By JOHN BARRINGTON I. N. 8. Sports Editor NEW YORK (INI) —turn your back on the sports scene for a few days, and you find all sorts of crasy things have been happening. For example, the Brooklyn Dodgers. Not only do they play as if they’ve forgotten they're the Dodgers, but It even seems there Is some doubt they stifl belong to Brooklyn. Until the Brooks started tightening up the pennant face by playing giveaway, ft looked as if the National League's most stirring news down the stretch would be Dodger President Walter O'Malley's manipulations to gain his club a new stadium. , O’Malley is tfn astute financier, with fingers in half a doten multimillion dollar enterprises. For a long time, he has realised hbw impractical it is to house the Dodgers in cramped and antiquated little Ebbets Field. * He seems to be running a bold bluff to get some municipal help in relocating his charges, still in the general vicinity of Brooklyn. ©"Malley’s vague talk about moving away ought hot to strike any particularly encouraged chords in the hearts of hopeful fans in Montreal, Minneapolis St. Paul, Jersey City or any other foreign place, tt just isn't likely to happen. Al Weil! has placed a price tag of $100,006 on Rockey Marciano’s "title. At least, that is what he has demanded that Archie Moore put! in escrow to guarantee a return bout, should the heavyweight championship shift from Rocky’s possession to Archie's on Sept. 20. The return bont clause puts New York State Athletic Commission Chairman Julius Helfand in a rather ticklish spot. He has been vrtrring against such arranger ments, which could lead to trading | of titles back end forth indefinitely. Helfand emphatically stated that' he would not approve the SIOO,OOO j Condition as part of the official Moore Marciano contract. But the commissioner would have to admit, tacitly at least, that a man has a right to protect such a valuable property by means of what amounts to a sort of private insurance policy. during all the weary months that durin gait the weaiy months that Moore was stalking the title, was | that Archie might-by some inconceivable stroke-of lucks ’-— win Rockyls crown and then hide him-! self off out of reach. For example, Moore is a great friend and admirer of Argentina's Juan Peron. He might decide on an extended visit to South America while Rocky languished and got the runaround. Or Archie a con finned globetrotter, might Just decide to take a trip around the world; Os course, SIOO,OOO is a cheap price for the title. The figure ought to be a million or more. But Weill has to be governed by the hard fact that 100 Gees is about all the bankroll Archie is flashing these days. And anyway, Archie has’to win the title first if the question is to become anything but academic.

The consensus is that he won't and it won't. ■■ ■ ■ Chicago Man Faces Charges Os Assault INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —Two court appointed psychiatrists handed the defense argument of Pkul Walcott Savery, Jr., 34, of Chicago, a severe blow today. _ Savery is to stand trial Sept. 12 in Indianapolis on charges that he severely beat a housewife with an iron skillet and a vase and stabbed her with a screw driver before fleeing with sl3 and a watch.
