plugged the gap. the Cards arc making this look like a one team race. THE AMERICAN LEAGUE is just the opposite. There all streaks where tin- teams look as if they don't want to win. but regardless of the adverse streaks, the White Sox are still clinging to the lead over several teams. The .strange point of this is that the contenders have all had losing streaks, but .still haven't fallen far enough behind to be out of it. Minnesota still appears to have the best chance to catch the Sox as they have Several good pitchers and power in their lineup. Boston’s surprising surge never has completely died, and the Red Sox ate proving that scoring runs will win ball games. They have received some good pitching from ItlllltlllllltllliiiiiiiiiiaiiiaiikJiiifiaiitiitfi-*

youngsters headed by Lonborg as they have proved they are definately a threat to the pennant. Detroit has lacked the consistent pitching they need, but are looking better now that Kahne and Horton are back in the lineup adding that extra punch. HOWEVER. WITH BASEball still a long way from over, football is strongly crowding into the picture. Last Friday night, the All Star football game was held in Chicago and the Green Bay Packers taught another lesson to the college boys of last year as they got their baptism of the professional game. Actually, the All Stars didn't look as bad as the statistics might appear. They suffered several big losses that hurt the stats and even though they didn't score, several times they started the ball moving real well only to fumble, have a costly penalty or a big loss stop the drive. They just couldn't sustain a march against the cream of the professional crop. THE EXHIBITION SEASON is under a full head of stn i i and in only a little over a month, they will be playing for ke<y . The new set-up will make a considerable difference in the game this year with two divisions >n each half of the National Fixitball League battling for the chance to represent the other half winners for tie championship. This makes the s< ason a little longer, but also adds interest as four teams will have a chance to win it all once the re-ular schedule is over. The American F< otball League, rapidly coming of age. starts earlier than the NFL and then league action very early in September. HOWEVER. BEFORE Either of these leagues play for keeps, the high schools of Indiana will be squaring off in the l schedules whic h can begin the first of September. These teams open practice on August 15. and have just a couple of Weeks to get ready for their opening gam.-.

graduate, but also a new couch will be directing the Shamrocks this season. The combination of a new coach, not too many returning lettermen and learning a new system will afford some problems for the boys, especially in the earlier part of the season. JOHN GLENN WILL HAVE most of their boys back from a very disappointing season »j-st year and will begin their second year under the present coach. Hopes are higher for a better si-ason even though realistically, not a lot of wins appear to be waiting the Falcons yet this seas< n. However, an interesting year and one that will add greatly to the program of football at this new school is expected. Glenn and North Liberty meet in their respective opening games on Saturday, September 2, at the Jackson High Sthool field.
