Yankees Voice Confidence On Flag Victory NEW YORK (INS) —The top ot the American League order eyed the Sept, stretch with confidence today but none was more confident than the New York Yankees. The Bombers are virtually guaranteeing they wilF cop the flag if they can return home Friday in first place to ride out their remaining 23 games in Boston, Baltimore, Washington and their own back yard. And they not only boast the lead, small as U is, heading into Kansas City for two more games and the end of their last western tour, but they’re returning from the badlands with Billy The Kid. the bane of Brooklyn in the 1953 World Series. As K the Bombers haven't looked stranger over the past week than ettner Chicago, Cleveland or Boston, they’re an even more improved club with infield sparkplug Billy Martin back in the lineup. Casey Stengel doesn’t figure that Billy, granted a 30 ( day furlough yesterday until his discharge from the army Oct. 8, will make all the difference in the world. But he admits rather slyly that the 27-year-oH shortstop • who practically won the series single handedly with 12 hits in 24 trips and eight runs batted in, the last one dramatically breaking it up in the sixth game-can help shape up the A. L. race down the smoking stretch drive that traditionally makes or breaks champions. iMartid’s furlough will be long enough to allow him to remain through the regular season, which ends Sept. 26. He returns to Fort Carson, Colo, for precessing Sept. 28, the day the World Series opens. The Yankees took the day off yesterday along with Chicago, trailing by a half game, and Cleveland, another half game back. The Red Sox, hopeful of closing thel gap to three games in fourth place, were washed out at Kansas City. The uupradic Prioles ruined Detroit’s pennant aspirations by sweeping a doubleheader

which left the Tigers games in arrears. (Brooklyn castoff Brv Palica blanked the Detroiters, 8 to 0, on a five hitter in the opener and Ray Moore won the second game in> relief, 4 to 3. Gus Triandos helped beat Steve Gromek in the first one with a two run homer. Fred Marsh’s bases loaded single drove in two runs to beat Ned (Garver in the second game, which featured a home run by Detroit’s Bubba Phillips. Paul Richards, manager of the last pieced Birds, juggled bls lineup so that four men played at least two positions during the second contest. In the only scheduled National League games, Brooklyn extended its lead to 12 games over idle Milwaukee by topping St. Louis, 10 to 4, in a bean ball fray; New York dropped its fifth straight, 8 to 3, against Chicago, and Cincinnati's homers foiled Robin Roberts’ bid for his 22nd win, 4 to 3, at Philadelphia. The Dodgers scored seven of their runs on home runs by Duke Snider (39), Roy Campanella (30) and Carl Furillo'(23). Southpaw Johnny Podres gave wey to Clem Labine when Ken Boyer homered for three Card runs in the seventh but Johnny was credited with his ninth win. tPtate umpire Jocko Conlon threatened wholesale expulsions and f inee after Tom Poholsky dusted Campanella and Podres retalliated by hitting Stan Musial. Muslal left the game to have his right hand examined but x-rays proved negative and Stan hoped to return to the lineup tonight at Pittsburgh. The Cubs unloaded for four home runs against the skidding world champions —two by Harry Chiti and one each by De Fondy and Gene Baker. Warren Hacker pitched a seven hitter, one of the blows a Whitey Lockman homer, while winning his 11th. The Phillies also were attacked for four home runs, two by Wally Post-his 33rd and 31th-and boundary belts by Smokey Burgess and Hobie Landrith. The Phils had given Roberts a three‘run lead in the first three innings off Joe Black until Burgess started the barrage with his 19th in the sixth inning. The defeat. No. 10 for Robin, was only the fourth Ah-GwUast third piece Quakers.

Minneapolis Seeks To Nail Down Flag By International News Service (Minneopolis pits A! Konikowski against Omaha tonight in the Millers' drive to nail down the American Association pennant, and if they win tonight, they will need only one more victory for the clincher. The Millers sent Omaha tumbling into fifth place Monday night when shortstop Eddie Bressoud cracked a three run homer in the end of the ninth for a 5 to 3 win. The circuit clout, with Bob Lennon and Carl Sawatski aboard, gave Al Worthington his 19th victory. Second place Denver plays two with St, Paul tonight-one tilt postponed Monday by wet grounds. ~ Louisville and Toledo remain tied, for third, four percentage points below—Denver, after splitting a doubleheader Monday. Toledo took the first game, 6 to 5, but Louisville retaliated to win the second, 9 to 7. Bill Reed's riple set the stage for four Toledo runs in the opener. The Colonel’s Ray Holton caught the idea and started a Jour run splurge' with a triple in the fourth frame of the nightcap.

Pennsylvania Ban On Boxing Ended HARRISBURG. Pa.. (INS) The ban imposed on boxing in Pennsylvania May 10 will end Wednesday when Governor George M. Leader approves the state’s new boxing code. The governor is expected to emphasize in a statement acompanyiiig his approval of the code that the new legislation gives him and the three member state athletic comission adequate power to control boxing and wrestling in Pennsylvania. The new code authorizes the commission to order summary suspensions of fighters and any other persons connected with the sport for infractions. Penalties can range up to 15.000 or two years in prison. The code was the outgrowth of the ban" slapped on boxing by Leader last May 10 just four days after the mysterious drugging of Philadelphia light-heavy - weight Harold Johnson in his bout with Julio Mederous of Cuba. The fi£ht was stopped after the second round when Johnson could not answer the bell. Jqhnson contended he had eaten an orange which had been laced with barbiturate. An Investigation of the event resulted in the revocation of matchmaker Pete Moran's license and suspension of permits for several others connected with the bout, Moran has appealed the revocation to the Dauphin county court where a decision is pending.

Swaps, Nashua Meet Wednesday In Match Race CHICAGO (INS) The probability of a muddy track squelched speculation today that a world speed record may be set tomorrow in the 1100,000 match race between Swaps and Nashua. Heavy rain last night left the Washington Park strip in sloppy condition and it is not expected to dry out in time for what may go down as the race of the century. Actually, the going is not expected to have any bearing on the outcome. Both of the great three year old colts have demonstrated they can run on any kind of a track, including grass. Swaps, the California speedster representing the west in the eastwest classic, won the San Vicente stakes on a muddy track-one of nine consecutive victories he has scored. Nashua, the Belair stud prize whose only loss this lear wae to Swaps in the Kentucky Derby, took the Florida derby on an off track and worked out on a sloppy strip at Saratoga before shipping to Chicago Saturday. Nashua will have the inside position in the race. He will break from the No. 1 spot and Swaps will leave the starting gate from No. 3 stall, leaving No. 2 empty to give the horses plenty of room. The post positions were determined at a drawing yesterday. Actually, they do not mean much, if anything. Washington Park’s turns are eo sweeping that the inside horse does not get much distance advantage. Both horses have completed their conditioning and are in top shape for the race. Neither will engage in any more strenous exercises.

She remained In hiding with her two daughters, Rebecca and Yasmin, after issuing a terse statement confirming that she and Dick have parted. Haymes complained, “Everybody knows where she is but me . . .1 just want her to come home.” And he said the rift with hia flame haired wife was due to "the same people who tried to throw me out of the country.” The romantic baritone told a reporter in Hollywood: "This is evploitation. They’re using Rita again. This is what they’ve been waiting for.” Haymes did not name the persons he suspects of being behind his former immigration difficulties and his current marital woes. Bu' it is known he and Rita think some element in the movie colony is conspiring against Dick. Shortly before he won final victory last May 31 in his fight against deportation to his native Argentina, Rita asserted that “someone big jn Hollywood” was behind he ouster attempt. The terrific argument they had last week end and the split-up which followed comes at a time when Rita’s career, as Well as Dick's is at a crisis.
