Name SEASON FOR THE ROOKIES

IN MAJORS

BIG

THRIVE THIS YEAR

IG league pennant races and last week's major All-Star game developments emphasize the pleasant fact that in so far as the caliber of its recruits was concerned, 1938 stands out as one of the most remarkable seasons in more than a decade. That Cleveland Americans are leading the Yankees and the Red Sox threaten both; that the Pirates menace the Giants and the Reds have climbed from the to traced to the influx of great players from the minor leagues. To the National League goes the distinction of boasting the rookie of the vear in Johnny Vander Meer, the Midland Park, N. J, lefthander who knocked down the American League sluggers in the first three innings of the All-Star contest. And last Sunday beat the Cubs for his 11th win of the year, including two no-hitters. ITH Syracuse last year Vander Meer won only five

WwW games and lost 11. In the American League the fight for the freshman title is keen between Joe Gordon, Tony Lazzeri's successor at second base for the Yankees, and Ken Keltner, third sacker for Cleveland. In the early weeks Keltner ran away from Flash. . . . But now Gordon, hitting .308, has the edge on Ken, who Joe is making plavs rarely seen around New York since the days of Frankie Frisch. Behind Gordon and Keltner are Sam Chapman, left fielder of Athletics, who made the jump from the University of California to the American League; Harry Steinbacher, outfielder and leading hitter of the White Sox:

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 12-—Those countless fans throughout the country who are rooting for “somebody,

anybody,” to beat out the two New York clubs in the pennant races had plenty of reason today to rise up and shout. While Cleveland temporarily had the “Yankee menace” well under control in the American League, a double threat appeared to oust the Giants from their National League lead. On the eve of the Giants’ departure for their most critical road trip of the year, Pitts burgh and Cincinnati gained additional ground on New York. It was only half a game each, but the way the Pirates and Reds | won was highly significant, won like they meant business. The Pirates twice came irom behind to down the Cubs, 5-3, and reduced the Giants’ lead to a game and a half. It was the Pirates’ 12th straight triumph, longest

Cincinnati lashed out with an eight-run rally in the first inning to conquer the Cardinals, 9-5, for their fourth straight victory.
