On Carl Fairly’s sacrifice bunt, Nitcholas fielded. it and made a wild toss to third trying to force Barnes. e error enabled Barnes to score, &nd Fletcher stopped at second.

By PAUL SCHEFFELS. United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 7—Rudy York of the Detroit Tigers has never had the fan following of Ted Williams or the raucous support given Lou Novikoff, but the stolid first: baseman has done a praiseworthy job of filling slugging Hank Greenberg's shoes. York never will be the hitter that Williams or Greenberg. were. But the 29-year-old - Georgian can be
heroes of the American league, with an annual runs-batted-in total that, makes him a serious threat every time he reaches the batter’s box. Detroit is within a game of thirdplace Chicago today and York's bat has been a big factor in keeping the Tigers as: ‘a regular: first«division threat in the junior - loop. : York the Tigers blanked the.

Don't Be Surprised if Dolph Camilli Is Back Next Year
By OSCAR FRALEY : United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Shooting the sports breeze: ‘BASEBALL--Don’t be too surprised-if Dolph Camilli comes back to organized baseball next year. The big first baseman said he was through for good after the Dodgers traded him down the river to the
_ Giants. . But the word is out that Dolph will be offered a post as man-
ager of a ‘Pacific coast league‘teaim at a lucrative salary. He would be
.close to. his California ranch and the ‘odds are he would accept... “Lefty Gomez, the former Yankee pitching star, is implementing his savings from a defense plant salary by.pitching for the semi-pro ;bushwicks. Camilli’s grave exit ‘recalls the opposite manner in - which ‘El Goofy took it when he reached the end of the baseball trail. “Too bad ‘you ean’t throw hard anymore,” friend. “I throw just as hard but it’s just that the ball doesn’t arrive. at the plate as quickly,” retorted the smiling Gomez, , . » In view ‘of the recent’ Harris Cox rhubarb at Philadelphia we wonder whether Bobo ~ Newsom
