ELL, here we are heading into the middle of summer and those “surprising” Indians of Ray Schalk are still up there showing the way in one of the tightest American Association races in years. The Tribe took three out of four from the Louisville Colonels over the week-end and showed plenty of power at bat, a circumstance which proved extremely fortunate because the pitching was not of the best. Today the boys have an off-day and will get a welldeserved rest before they begin that very crucial series with the Kansas City Blues tomorrow. This series of engagements will bear watching and may well have a very definite bearing on the outcome of the Association race. Whether or not it is admitted that the Redskins are one of the teams to be reckoned with in the Association race. nearly everyone concedes that Kansas City has the class and seems to be generally favored to take the flag. Certainly the New York Yankees have done everything possible to strengthen the club and so far the Blues have given every indication of going places. 8

Esse has been some disposition, on the other hand, to discount the early season showing of the Indians and there have been frequent

Ray Schalk and Leo ler have assembled a bunch of youngsters who have shown a to hustle and fight right up to the last pitch.

Redskins Rest Up Here; Grab Three Out of Four From Colonels.

The Indianapolis Indians had an off-day today and were back home resting up for the second and most important phase of their long series of games on the road. Having captured three out of four from the last place Louisville Colonels over the week-end, the Tribesmen still were on top in the exciting American Association race. Tomorrow though their lead will be jeopardized when they move into Kansas City for a series of engagements with the runnerup Blues who are back in stride again after a joust with ptomaine and other obstacles. The Tribesmen were to leave for Kansas City by train at 5 o'clock | this afternoon. Jimmy Wasdell, | hard hitting outfielder, will not be | with them. Jimmy, here on option, has been recalled by the Senators | and will join that club tomorrow in Cleveland. Following a serious | slump Jimmy had regained his batting eye and was expected to be a | big help during the strenuous days ahead Galatzer, the Tribe's new outfielder, probably will take Wasdell's place. The Redskins got an even break at Louisville yesterday, winning the first game, 10 to 6, and dropping the second, 7 to 3.

Mesner Gets “5 for 5”

John Niggeling started the first came for the locals and was vanked for a pitch hitter in the eighth. Niggeling was touched for nine blows in seven innings but got credit for the victory. Don French wound up the pastime and yielded two safeties.

Meets Kansas City Tomorrow With Loop Lead at Stake; on Cleveland

“Stop New Yorkers,” Again Is Cry in Both Major Circuits.

{ BY GEORGE KIRKSEY (United Press Staff Correspondent)

| NEW YORK. June 13.—The Para- | mount issue in the majors today | concerned the Yankees and the

| Giants and how to keep them from | staging their third subway World | Series. | A few days ago both New York | teams seemed to be cracking up. The Yanks lost three in a row to the White Sox, who previously had { lost 11 out of 12 games. The Giants dropped six in a row and were floundering all over the West. Overnight they both leaped back into the foreground of the pennant | picture. The Yanks righted them- | selves in the nick of time and today boasted a winning streak of three straight which lifted them to within leading Cleveland Indians. the National League lead by wind- | ing up their western campaign with | five victories in their last six games. Again the cries arose: Stop the Yankees! Stop the Giants! Cleveland, with a 3':-game lead when they came to New York, moved back home today after taking two straight lickings from the Yanks. The Yanks proved again that when the chips are down they

They beat Cleveland's two greatest pitchers in one game—Johnny Allen and Bob Feller who folded before 43,702 fans yesterday. Red Ruffing scored his eighth victory, beating Cleveland, 7-6. Ruffing hit a homer with two mates aboard, and Rookie Joe Gordon won the game with a homer off Feller in the eighth with Dickey on base.

It was “big inning” day around | most of the circuit yesterday. The Detroit Tigers took down the prize by beating Washington, 18-12, after trailing at one time, 11-1. Gehringer and York hitting homers in the sixth the Tigers scored 10 runs. Even so they went into the | ninth one run behind, but staged a | seven-run rally.

Rest Fails to Help Dizzy;

Specialists

Are Called in

CHICAGO, June 13 (U. P.).—A corp of specialists was called in today to determine once and for all what's wrong with Dizzy Dean's helpless

pitching arm.

Seeking some return on an investment of $250,000 in cash and play ers, Manager Charlie Grimm ordered Diz to remain behind while the

Cubs embarked on an Eastern trip® and submit to a complete physical checkup.

The month of rest prescribed by Dr, John F. Davis, Cub physician, left Dean with an arm as limp as a dishrag instead of cured of the mysterious ailment which reduced him from baseball's greatest righthander to an ordinary pitcher with nothing but a slow curve. “Dean is no good to us the way he is,” Grimm said. “We've got to find out what's wrong with his arm so we've called in these specialists. One doctor’s report isn’t enough.” The specialists insisted that their names be withheld, The complete overhauling will start with the broken toe Diz received in last year's All-Star game and extend up to his teeth. He'll be tested for every ailment that ever slowed up a fast ball pitcher. “Dean's whole trouble started with that broken toe,’ said Charles Drake, assistant to Owner Phil K, Wrigley. “When he broke that, he tried to change his pitching style to favor the injured toe. The new style hurt his arm late in the year and that old ailment is still with him.” In Dean's late-summer appearances on the mound, he affected a slow side arm curve and failed to cut loose even once with the fast ball that made him famous and a World Series hero of the Cardinals. He was the same cautious, control pitcher with the Cubs as he won his first three starts of the year. Despite the Cubs’ efforts to round Diz into shape, Grimm apparently isn’t counting heavily on the shelved pitcher. He'd like to forget all about Dean and concentrate on trying to win the pennant with what he’s got on hand. He answers hundreds of questions a day about Dean. Restaurants, theaters amusement parks and clubs keep calling on Diz for personal appearances and most of the invitations are directed to the busy Grimm. The Cubs are finding that Diz is too important to ignore.
