. TiponN.Y.: Keep DiMag Leading Off

That’s Formula Cronin Used + When His Red Sox Scored Slam.

By HARRY GRAYSON

NEW YORK, July 12 (NEA) .—Joseph Edward Cronin says the secret of beating the Yankees is to keep . Joe DiMaggio “leading off.” What the manager of the Red Sox means is to get out the hitters * preceding DiMaggio and his .420

If the bases are clear when DiMaggio smacks one, there is only DiMaggio for Bill Dickey, the next

formidable attacker in the New York lineup, to belt around. It’s a good trick if it works, and the Bostons put it across often enough to win two consecutive series

from the supposedly invincible New the most recent in|g

Yorkers. five straight games in three days.

Manhattan Left Pop-Eyed

Manhattan hasn't been left ®o pop-eyed since the night Max Schmeling put the slug on Joe Louis. The Red Sox simply outfought the Yankees in their own bailiwick in tough, close battles. Cronin laughs at those who contend that the Red Sox can’t win the pennant with the Yankees six and a half games in front at the halfway mark. They are the ones who have been arguing that the Yankees should be broken up for the good of the circuit. The owners and managers among them have wasted time crying instead of fortifying their own organizations. “We made up five games in three days,” beams Cronin. : “I can’t see why we can’t make up six and one-half more in a halfseason.” Every other American League entry . . . Cleveland and Chicago, especially . . . should hang a picture of Cronin in its clubhouse. It! might help them shake defeatist complexes.

Vitt Talks About Yanks

Oscar Vitt of the Indians, who managed three or four Yankees in Newark, everlastingly talks of their prowess and that of the New York club in general instead of making some attempt to build the morale of his own team. On the occasion of the last west“ern trip of the Red Sox and Yankees, Vitt saved his best bet, “Bob Feller, for Boston. He might just as well have said * that he was interested only in second place. Jimmy Dykes of the White Sox is another who always preaches the hopelessness of trying to top the Yankees.

Tuned for Twin Bills

But Cronin is a fighter of the old school. He rallied his forces together following a disastrous series with the reconstructed Tigers, Jimmy Foxx’s illness and off-the-field trouble with Jim Tabor. “All we need to beat the Yankees is pitching,” Cronin kept repeating. The majority of those who have been overawed by the Yankees point to the fact that the second half is crammed with double-headers for the Red Sox, whe have played only 68 games to the New Yorkers’ 75. But Cronin contends that his pitching is now in shape for doubleheaders . . . insists that there is where the Red Sox will pick up ground in large chunks.

Rich Nearly Ready

Cronin finally found a way to get! something out of Dennis Galehouse.

Bob Grove still has considerable left. Wade, Dickman, Ostermueller, Auker, Wiison and Heving all stood up against the Yanks. And young Woodrow Rich, who obtained such a fine start, reports) himself ready again after spending several weeks nursing a lame arm. | Joe Cronin doesn’t talk of second place. He is out to win. What the American League needs is more managers like him.

Tichenor Defeats Lewis to Win Boys’ City Tennis Championship.

By TOM OCHILTREE

Charles Tichenor, a game tennis kid with a big leaguer's change of pace, was the new City boy’s champion today as surviving members in other tournament divisions continued to explode the hot sands of the Tech courts. The junior title issue was to be settled this afternoon when Raymond Von Spreckelsen, seeded No. 1 in this classification, faced off against Bob Parrett. Play was to begin in the men’s doubles and continue through the third round in the men’s singles and the second round of the women’s singles.

High School In Fall

While he is only a 13-year-older who won't start to high school until this fall, Tichenor is a ping ponger of considerable note and his experience in tournaments of that game undoubtedly helped him to gain his 6-2, 6-3 victory over Roger Lewis in the boys’ finals yesterday. He started out like a winner, taking his own service in the opening game of the first set and running the game score up to 5-0 before his opponent could break through. Tichenor was serving in this sixth game, and it was evident that he was easing up. Lewis took that one and the next one but fell before Tichenor’s next service to lose the first set 6-2. One thing about Lewis, he hag more fight than a deep sea marlin. They each lost their serves to be tied at 1-all in the second set, and Lewis was forcing every game to deuce two or three times even though his opponent did creep up to a 4-1 lead.

Each Comes From Behind

For a stretch then the match was as close as clock hands at 10 minutes after two, with each coming from behind to capture the other’s service. margin to work on, however, and he finally went down, 6-3. Just to show how much salt the loser had, Lewis in the next-to-the-last game, when Tichenor had his set point, made stinging returns of a half dozen volleys and finally won the particular point in dispute. The boys and juniors play is known as the Indianapolis Tennis Center tournament. This amounts to the city championship in these divisions but this classification is

Aithough he was top-seeded, Von Spreckelsen had a long, hard pull to win his semifinal junior match from Roger Downs, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.
