been moving along at such a
degree that they are closer
to the Yankees in the American than the Cards are to the Redlegs in the senior circuit. ' The “You can’t beat the Yankees” chant is out, at Jeast for the present. ... Part of this can be traced to
‘the excellent play of Cronin’s ‘to other teams fighting back champions.

WIRE Ten Ready for Regional
Radio Club Wins County Title; City Softball Meet In Semifinals.
With the Marion County softball tournament title safely in its possession, WIRE today awaited the next step in the state-wide elimina-
tion series—a regional tourney tilt with Rushville at Softball Stadium at 8:30 Saturday night. The radio boys walloped the darkhorse Kingan A. A. team last night, 7-1, before an overflow crowd of more than 1500 to capture the cup, medals and glory that go with winning the local championship. Playing faultless ball behind the three-hit pitching of Logan Kinett, who whiffed 10 Kingan batsmen to boost his tournament total for six games to 72, WIRE put the game on ice in the first three innings and coasted to the title.
Off to Good Start
Tom Howard, whose slants had played a largé part in the unexpected drive by the Kingan team to the final game, looked red hot in the first frame as he struck out two radio batsmen and reiired the side in order. Its was in the third\ that the Kingan defense fell apart; Howard became wild, -and the WIRE boys put the tilt on ice. Two singles, a couple of fielder choices and a pair of errors were responsible for four WIRE runs Following ‘the tilt the WIRE team was presented with the Indianapolis Softball Association’s championship trophy and each member of the team was presented with gold medals by Tom Quinn, association président. Kingan players received silver medals.
Funk Receives Award
Charlie Funk, 22, of 422 Temple Ave., jovial member of StewartWarner team, was awarded the fourth annual Tom Quinn Sportsmanship medal for displaying. the best mental attitude and sportsmanship during the tourney. The WIRE-Rushville tilt will be the only regional game Saturday night. On Sunday at 2 p. m. Shelbyville Merchants .will collide with Connersville and Greencastle will meet the winner of thie WIRE- | E Rushville tilt at 3 p. m. The two afternoon winners will meet at 8 p. m. for the Indianapolis regional title and the right to move on into state tournament semi-final action) the next week-end.
Ermet Manufacturing and Douglas Theater will meet tonight at Belmont Stadium at 8:30 to decide which team is to enter the final game for the city championship in the tourney conducted by the Softball Association of America. The Ermets turned in three tourney victories to reach the semifinals, chalking up 38 runs while holding their opponents to 13 markers. The Theater team also turned in a trio of wins. A total of 37 runs crossed the plate for the winners, their opponents getting 18. These figures show the teams to be evenly matched, hoth offensively and defensively. Chuck Mills is expected to be the Ermet starting pitcher, while Le Roy Davis is likely to be his mound opponent. In a preliminary to tonight's game the first round of the girls city tournament will be played. Hoosier A. C. will meet Midnite Girls at 7:30. Two defeats are necessary for elimination in the girls’ event. Schwiteer-Cummins Stokols and Duke & Shaw will meet in the other semi-final game of the men’s tourney tomorrow night. The two teams advanced through victories last night. Adam Walsh featured last night's session, turning in a no-hit performance as the Stokols blanked Real 8ilk, 5-0. Walsh had 11 strikeouts to his credit. The Dukes had little difficulty in disposing! of Salvation Army, 7 to 2.

Australian Duo Faces First Real Court Test
By HENRY MWLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent
15—~The Davis Cup double team
which Australia believes will be the deciding factor in lifting the international trophy this year will have its first real test of the season today in a second-round match of the National doubles championship.
The formidable Australian duo of Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich, conquerors of the mighty Don Budge and Gene Mako in cup play at Germantown last September, will engage those slam-bang California youngsters, Welby Van Horn and Jack Kramer. The match has a double lure. Not only will it give the American Cup fathers a look at the Australians, but it will furnish a true line on Van Horn and Kramer, a pair that many critics consider the most promising in the game. Keeping Out of Sight
There is a certain amount of mystery concerning the Australians. They have been on this continent for many weeks, but have carefully avoided most of the tournaments, preferring to practice among themselves and take movie shots of the American stars who will defend the cup. Kramer and Van Horn, only a few months out of high school, have promised not to be awed by the
feputations of the Australiahs sand
to wade into them with all their power, and the kids have it, plenty i America’s veteran doubles teams looked poor in yesterday’s play. The top-ranking unit in the country, and the one with the inside track to the Davis Cup assighment— Frankie Parker and Don McNeill— played like tyros most of the way in being driven to five sets by littleknown Bill Talbert and Jack Bushman of Cincinnati and Baton Rouge, respectively. ;
Where's Queen Alice?
Another highly considered tandem—Johnny Doeg ‘and Wayne Sabin—is out of the tournament, victims of Charlie Hare of England and Ladislaus Hecht of Czechoslovakia. © And Gene Mako and Jack Tidball, another well thought of team, was only adequate in trimming Hal Surface and Bitsy Grant, a mediocre doubles combine. The worshippers of Alice Marble, supreme in the world of women’s tennis, still are awaiting her arrival. Scheduled to start defense of her title with Sarah Palfrey Fabyan two days ago, Queen Alice has yet to appear. A lesser light would have been defaulted long ago, but the tournament officials know a box office appeal when they see it, and are treating Alice with the utmost consideration. \

Forty and Eighters Plan Big Show at Tribe Opener With Millers.
With the Forty and Eight Legionnaires doing their stuff as sponsors, “Pack the Park Night” will be celebrated at Perry Stadium tonight at the series opener between the Indians and Minmeapolis Millers. On parade preceding the game, will be Legion bands, drum corps, drill teams and Forty and Eight units, some with their famed comedy acts. Tribute will be paid the two Legionnaire managers, Wes Griffin and
be the player members on the two teams who got their start in Legion Junior baseball. The Indians have six, the Millers four.
Get Going at 7:15
Ceremonies are to start at 7:15, one hour ahead of game time, and entertainment will be offered the fans in rapid-fire order. The spacious Stadium is a choice parade ground and the crowd is sure to sit in on interesting formations and maneuvers by the well-drilled bands and other Legion units. There will be no advance in prices for.the show and game. Don French probably will receive the Tribe pitching assignment against the heavy hitting Millers and he will be shooting for his 14th victory of the season against six defeats. Terre Haute Legionnaires will be on hand to honor Pitcher Bill Butland, one of Minneapolis aces who is a Vigo County product and who is headed for the Boston Red Sox in 1940.
Crowd of 6000 Expected
Anderson and Danville will send large delegations and the game sponsors hope to top at least 6000 in attendance. Forty and Eight members and members of other Indianapolis Legion posts have worked hard to make their first big baseball venture a success and promise to make i$ an annual affair if the fans offer encouragement tonight. The Miller series is just a twonight sét and the second-placers will say their 1939 farewell to Indianapolis tomorrow night. St. Paul, Kansas City and Milwaukee will follow in the order named to wind up the Western clubs’ last swing through here for the year.

\HE White Sox ousted the Cleveland Indians : from third place when they scored, 5-2, over the Browns behind Johnny Rignéy's three-hit pitching last night. If Luke Appling, who was credited with only two errors, had not juggled no less than four double-play balls in the sixth inning, Rigney would have had a shutout. He pitched perfect ball for the first five innings, facing only 15 men, and the Browns got both their runs off one single in the sixth. He fanned 10, including Julius Solters three times. The Indians were held to a split by the Detroit Tigers. After winning the first game, 8-4, on a fourrun rally in the 10th, the Tribe was stopped, 10-3, by Schoolboy Rowe. It was Rowe's third straight and his fifth of the year.
