REDSKINS TACKLE COLONELS IN SECOND DOUBLE BILL

Indians Move Up in Torrid

Pennant Race

Crandall and Johnson Shine |

On Sabbath; Parker Is Batting Star.

Four straight victories have boosted the Indians back to third place in the torrid American Association race and they will step out this evening in an effort to make it a grand slam over the Louisville Colonels.

The holiday bill calls for a twilight tilt at 4:30 and a moonlighter at 8:15. There will be a fireworks display after the second game. The Columbus Red Birds are to invade Perry Stadium tomorrow .night and remain through Friday. The Redskins passed the Birds by annexing a twin bill yesterday and pulled within two games of the second-place Toledo Hens. The league-leading Minneapolis Millers increased their lead over Toledo but the distance between the Hoosiers and Bushmen was whittled to four games.

Race Revision Likely

All A. A. teams are to perform in double attractions today and there may be a revision of the standing in some spots when the results are in. Red Killefer's Tribesters knocked off the Colonels, 7 to 6, in 10 innings in the lidlifter yesterday and followed this achievement with a 4to 0 victory in the seven-inning nightcap. Lloyd Johnson pitched the shutout and held the Derbytown rivals to one hit. He walked two and struck out one in the contest which was cut short by the 6 o'clock Sunday law. Salty Parker was Johnson's chief tender and his batting wrecked the Colonels. The Tribe shortstopper collected two doubles and a triple and batted in two runs. The Indians got nine blows off two hurl-

Lewis scored from first on a double by Parker in the fourth and was forced to hit the dirt at the plate. The Indians tallied in the first, fourth, fifth and sixth frames. The Sabbath opener was sent into the 10th inning when Louisville rallied in the ninth and put over three markers to tie the score at 6 and 6. In the extra round Parker led off with a single and advanced on Kahle's sacrifice. Jimmy Crandall, who had obtained two hits and batted in two runs, was given an intentional pass. George Archie sent a slow roller toward third and beat it out, but Third Baseman Matheson made a useless throw to first and the ball sailed beyond Moose Foster and Parker scored the victory marker. Page Is Derricked

Crandall relieved Vance Page in the second inning and baffled the Colonels until the ninth. Page was in poor form and the visitors hammered his slants at will. They pounded him for five blows and three runs in the initial stanza, and after two more safeties in the second, he was derricked. Crandall stopped the Colonels in their tracks and allowed only three hits until the ninth when an error by Bob Kahle helped put him in hot water. Danny Taylor paced the Indians at bat in the 7-to-6 triumph. He bagged three of the Tribe's 15 blows and batted in two runs. Parker and Eckhardt weighed in with doubles and Nick Tremark hit a pair of doubles for Louisville. The Colonels jumped out in front to a 3-to-0 lead in the opening inning, but the Tribsters found the range in the third and slammed out six hits for four runs. Dick Bass was knocked out of the box and Fred Shaffer took up the mound toil. Signer worked the 10th and was charged with the defeat. Louisville got 14 hits with Goddman Rosen and Johnny Hudson grabbing off three apiece.

Berger Stars in Field

Fred Berger played a great game in the field and his defensive work was brilliant in both games. He had eight putouts in the first tilt and also was kept busy in the windup struggle. After scoring four markers in the third of the opener, the Indians were held off until the seventh when they tallied one and followed it up with another tally in the eighth.

Millers Retain Lead By Beating Saints

(By United Press) The league-leading Minneapolis Millers retained their lead in the American Association today after defeated St. Paul 4-3 in an extrainning game yesterday at St. Paul. A home run by Bob Buken in the ninth tied the score. Red Kress’ triple with Pfleger’s single scored the winning run for Minneapolis. Jim Henry was relieved by Southpaw Joe Baker, who struck out Bob Fenner in the 10th to end the game with two St. Paul players on base. Kansas City pulled ahead of Milwaukee into fifth piace by a 4-0, 7-4 double-header victory. Lee Stine pitched the first game for the Blues. Ted Kleinhans began the second game, but was injured in the right hand by a drive in the second inning. He was replaced by Phil Page, who in turn relinquished the mound to Wilcy Moore. Columbus defeated Toledo, 11 to 6. The Toledo hurlers gave up 16 hits. However, Reiber of Toledo was the Apavy hitter of the day with two home runs and a three-sacker.

There are to be 31 qualifying centers, compared with 32 in 1936. Three

of the qualifying centers, Tacoma,®

Wash.; Salt Lake City, and Nash- | ville, Tenn. were not on last year’s | schedule. There also will be foans at the Portland course as well Tacoma.

The centers have been shifted in eight districts, as follows: from Washington, D. C. to Baltimore, from the Westchester section of the New York Metropolitan district to the New Jersey section; from the Buffalo to the Rochester, N. Y. sections; from Winston-Salem, N. C. to Ashville, N. C.; from Cleveland to Akron, O.; from Tulsa to Oklahoma City; from Houston to Dallas and from Milwaukee to Madison, Wis. Three of the tive new qualifying points added last year are on the schedule for this year: Des Moines, Ia.; Huntington, W. Va.; and Birmingham, Ala. All entries must be received by Wednesday, July 14, at the U. S. G. A. offices. They must be from amateur golfers with handicaps not exceeding four strokes and members of clubs holding membership in good standing in the United States Golf Asociation. Foreign entrants must be certified by the rules governing their own country. Those who enter the Public links tourney will not be allowed to enter the amateur tourney. = = » HE all-match-play of past years has been abandoned and instead there will be a 36-hole qualifying competition as the result df which 64 players will be eligible for the first round of match play, and the six match-play rounds. The main difference between this system and that used in the last three years is that the stroke-play qualifying rounds instead of the matchplay rounds will be conducted on the first two days. Under both the old and new systems the championship field is reduced to 64 for the beginning of the third day’s play. This year they expect a field of 180 players to be eligible for the first round of championship qualifications. The number of qualifiers in each district will be determined by the championship committe after the entry lists have closed. The number of entries and the playing strength in each district will be used as a basis for allocating places. This will be the seventh Amateur Championship involving sectional qualifying rounds. Last year the matches were held at the Garden City Golf Club, Garden City, N. Y. = 2 = Local divot-whiffers can play the City’s golf courses for 25 cents on Fridays during July and August. The Park Board has lowered the regular 50 cents fee on all municipal courses for the two-month

Track Stars Arrive From Venezuela

DALLAS, "Tex. July 5—Two Venezuelan track stars, Leon Marin and Jose Gregorio Nieves, arrived here from Caracas by plane yesterday to participate in the Pan-Amer-ican games July 15-18. Marin holds the Venezuelan championship for the 800 meters and Nieves for the mile. Both will participate in the 800 meter and 1500 meter events at the games. The Venezuelans joined 36 other South American athletes who arrived Friday from Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Chile and Argentina.

SAM WEST NAMED ON ALL-STAR TEAM

ST. LOUIS, Mo. July 5—Sam West, St. Louis Browns, outfielder, has been notified by Joe McCarthy, New York Yankees manager, to report for play with the All-Star American League team in Weshington Wednesday. McCarthy, who is piloting the American League team selected West to replace Gerald Walker, Detroit outfielder, who will be unable to play due to a leg injury. West probably will play as a relief player and pinch hitter.

LANDIS REPORTED PEEVED AT TERRY

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 5— Baseball folk here have it that Bill Terry, manager of the National League's All-Star team, is about to get a chiding from Juage Landis. It is charged here that Terry did not live up to the regulations and did not ask the other managers of the league for their selections, but made up the squad according to his own impressions. It is said that when Judge Landis called up a manager—who apparently was Charley Grimm—and asked him if Terry had consulted him on the makeup of the squad, the pilot replied: “No, but I suppose he will get around to it on July 6.”

Cronin’s Boys Launch Drive Against Yanks

Pepped Up by 15 Victories In 19 Starts, Sox Aim For Top Berth.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 5~The redhot Boston Red Sox came to New York today determined to start a drive which will blast the adage that the Fourth of July leader is the ultimate pennant winner. According to tradition, the champion New York Yankees will repeat in the American League because, even should they lose a dou-ble-header to the Sox today, they'll still be atop the standings at the accepted halfway mark. But the Sox have won 15 of their last 19 starts, including a four-straight string over the Philadelphia Athletics which ended yes-

terday, and are hoping to continue that triumphant streak against the | Yankees. Since June 15, the Red Sox lost only one series. They beat the Chicago White Sox four straight, took two out of three from Cleveland, won two straight from Detroit, downed St. Louis three out of four, and lost a pair to Washington. A double win over Phila.delphia yesterday gave them their fourth straight over the Athletics, and elevated them into third place above the Detroit Tigers—5% games from the Yankees. Jack Wilson's fine relief hurling saved the opener for Lefty Grove, 7-6, and Buck Newsom's eight-hit flinging won the second, 4-2. Gomez Wins for Yankees The second-place Chicago White Sox gained a half-game on the Yankees when they beat the St. Louis Browns twice, 4-2 and 9-5. The Yankees blanked the Washington Senators, 5-0, behind the fivehit hurling of Lefty Gomez. Joe Di Maggio clouted his 19th home run. Bob Feller, making his first start since April 24, hurled four innings for the Cleveland Indians and suffered a 3-2 loss to Detroit. Two errors, one of them by Feller, who threw to an uncovered base; a base on balls, and one single gave the Tigers all of their runs in the fourth. The game was called in the seventh because of rain. Terry's Giants Gain The New York Giants climbed back within a game of the National League leading Cubs when they scored four runs in the eighth to defeat the Brooklyn Dodgers and Van Mungo, 6-5, while Chicago was dividing a double header with Pittsburgh. The Cubs won the opener, 8-5. The Pirates cut off a Cub rally after two runs had been scored in the ninth to win the nightcap, 7-6. The St. Louis Cardinals won both games from Cincinnati, Dizzy Dean distributing seven hits to blank the reds, 1-0, in the opener, and Lon Warneke doling out but four for a 5-2 decision in the second which was called at the end of the sixth because of rain. The Boston Bees moved into fifth place above Brooklyn licking the Phillies 14-9 and 4-2.

YESTERDAY'S HERO — Eddie Mayo of the Boston Bees who clouted a home run in the 10th inning of the second game against Philadelphia to win the game and elevate his team into fifth place in the National League.

EW YORK, July 5—My favorite sports figure—with the possible exception of Eleanor Holm Jar-

rett in a bathing suit—is embraced in the initials I. B. U. The I. B. U. is not a three-horned animal, but the International Boxing Union, and consists of a covey of spade-bearded, pernod-sipping, bespatted Parisien boulevardiers. In their minds (and that’s giving them all the best of it upstairs) the members of the I. B. U. are the most powerful legislative group in pugilism. When they are not bouncing through the Bois, tripping through the Tuilleries, or leering at the Louvre, they spend their time suspending fighters, announcing new heavyweight champions, blacklisting, black-balling, and cutting up in general. Their latest move, news of which arrived a few days ago by Chinese sampan, was to brand Joe Louis as an imposter and name Max Schmeling heavyweight champion of the world. There is no telling how long the I. B. U. boys will retain Schmeling as champion. They are as changeable as a leopard’s spots aren't. During the James Braddock regime, the I. B. U. would have no part of the Irishman and considered George Godfrey champion of the world. = os »

ODFREY'’S honor came to him suddenly. OI’ George had given up boxing for wrestling, wrestling for strong-man acts, and strongman acts for restaurant handyman, when he was suddenly tapped on his skull and bones by a member of I. B. U. and pronounced heavyweight champion of the world. Godfrey was forced to put down his tray of food and defend his title against Pierre Charles, a venerable Belgian who, until named foremost challenger by I. B. U, was quietly enjoying middle age. Much against their respective wills George and Pierre were thrown _ in the battle pit, all for the glory “of old I. B. U. As I remember it, George finally won with a sinking left to Pierre's fourth chin in the fourth round, and thereby retained his heavyweight title. Being no sucker, George also retained his job as handyman in the Paris restaurant, where the pork chops went under another name but were pork chops just the same. Now the I. B. U. has displaced George with Schmeling. What excuse the frivolous Frenchmen made to George, I don’t know, because he never has been beaten. Immediately after honoring Schmeling the I. B.

Thom Consents To Referee Bout

Billy Thom, wrestling coach at Indiana University and holder of the junior middleweight crown, has agreed to serve as third man in the ring for the Everett Marshal-Walter

(Powerhouse) Podolak heavyweight mat battle next Wednesday night at Sports Arena. Thom is a nationally known grappling referee. Podolak, who scales 223 and is a young German husky from New York, boasts the best record of any challenger who hal faced Marshall in local mat “wars.” The former weight lifter, rated one of the most powerful matmen in the game, is undefeated in 10 matches here. Before coming into this territory he hung up a record which includes triumphs over such heavies as Joe Savoldi, Abe Coleman, Jim McMillen, Gus Sonnenberg, George Zaharias and others. A “big league” semiwindup will pit Irish Dan O'Connor, 221, Boston, against Dorve (Iron Man) Roche, 220, former Illinois coal miner.

have heard of him, but I personally have seen him fight and he is hell on wheels. He has fought a few private fights under the secretive promotion of Mike Jacobs and I believe he is ready for the big time. I also have seen Farr fight. When I was in London last fall trying to straighten out the Duke’s affairs, I took a look at Farr’s dukes. They did not have the bar sinister. In fact, there was nothing sinister about them. If Louis couldn't belt Farr out in three heats, as we say in Mayfair, then I am an armadillo sewing basket with cerise lining. However, the I. B. U. may be right. Maybe Schmeling is the champion. Maybe Farr is the leading contender. Maybe I am an armadillo basket. But don't laugh too heartily, my friends. Maybe YOU will be the next heavyweight champion or contender. The I. B.
