It’s a ‘Special Ladies’ Night

As Redskins Take On Birds: Veteran Weatherly Reports

By EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor

While losing to the Columbus night while the league leading St.

Red Birds out at Victory field last Paul Saints were being checked by

Kansas City, the second-place Indians “blew” a fine chance to pick up a full game in the A. A. race and there was no joy in the Tribe wigwam

today,

But all good things must come to an end and the Birds snapped ‘the

Redskins’ winning streak at seven straight and left the home boys! still 4% games behind pace- setting | St. Paul. However, the Indians are not crestfallen by any means and don’t be* too surprised if they bounce back tonight in the double-heager with the Birds. It is a special ladies’ night and the first half of the twin attraction is booked to get under way at 6:30. ’

July 4 to meet the Louisville Colonels in a “fireworks” night doubleheader, Held to Four Hits The Buckeye Red Birds beat the Indians last night, 5 to 2, mainly because the Victory fleld idols had a bad game afield, made four errors and were held to four hits by Bill Clemensen, Columbus right-

hander, and formerly of the Pitts-|Robe 8h

burgh Pirates,

Clemensen had the Redskins hit- |B. ting into the air and the Columbus w

outfield had 12 putouts. He re-

ceived brilliant support, especially| grag

on the part of Jack McLain, a former Ohio State university star. McLain had five putouts and he took three of them on the run. On one, the tall McLain “climbed” the right center field wall and snared Joe Bestudik's drive with one hand on a leaping.catch. It was the season's best outfield catch at the Tribe orchard. Leading slugger for the Birds was Del. Wilber, substitute first sacker, who belted a double and a home run. Vince Shupe paced the Indians with a double and a triple.

Augie Bergamo got three of the!

Birds’ seven hits off the Tribe's Glen Fletcher. They were singles, Dandy Jim Returns Living up to their promises, the Tribe officials put over another good deal last night by engineering;

the return of Dandy Jim Wallace

from the Boston Braves on option. This shrewd southpaw hurler, who hails from Evansville, won 17 games for the Redskins last year while losing only four. He turned in a remarkable earned-run average of 1.83 and pitched seven shutouts.

Todi To Wind Up Long. Home Stand

By DAN DANIEL Scripps-Howard Staff Writer CLEVELAND, June 27. — From the inside comes word that Sam Breadon’s recent flight into Mexico, “to see conditions down there for myself,” was in the nature of a broad sneer and resounding raszsberry in the direction of Albert B. Chandler, high commissioner of all there is to organized baseball. According to your correspondent’s special agents on the Missouri frontier, Breadon is supposed to have snorted, “we are involved in a baseball war with Mexico and there is threat of a union among our players, but the commissioner is up in Dakota sliding bases instead of doing something about it.”

Grabbed a Plane

chili metropolis, Breadon had a conference with Jorge Pasquel, the very man who had induced Max Lanier, Fred Martin and Lou Klein to break their contracts with the Cardinals and hop to the Mexican league. The man in the street conceivably is convinced the major leagues asked Breadon to meet Jorge in Mexico City. That same hombre also must feel that the big circuits lost face when the president of the

“And rightly so,” assert the merchants, Demand Is Up Their big kick now is that the situation remains so tight. “We're getting perhaps 20 per cent of the merchandise we need to supply our customers,” snorted one retailer. And this despite the fact that probably a 50-per-cent increase in returning soldier requests has been combined with a pent-up four-year civilian demand, The only boon to come out of the tight supply situation has been the increase in “backyard” or “kitchen” flymakers. This war-born group of enterprisers came to the aid of downtown sporting goods merchants when their supplies of bait were choked off. They blossomed out last summer and still are doing well, Ammunition will be scarce due to the lead shortage. Even the police department has been hard hit by this dearth. Add to that the fact that the army still has a good part of the existing shotgun supplies. They were used to train tail-gun-ners. Now retailers want them released. Golf Clubs Don’t Linger The same condition exists in allied sporting lings. Outboard motors, gymnasium gear, baseball and football accoutrement—they're coming in dribs and drabs. Golf clubs go out as soon as they arrive. “Where we ordinarily carry $10,000 worth of links supplies, now we have $200 worth on hand,” Carl Callahan, president of Bush-Callahan,

explained. And the situation bears no promise of getting any better. In

fact, the horizon looks dark on any immediate return of many popular sporting items. One such shortage is in the previously mentioned ammunition line. Some local merchandisers of sporting goods have been informed that shells will return to the ration list some time during their thirdquarter allotment, (This would be the July-September span)’ Only farmers and ranchers will be entitled to any quantity. Retailers hope for eventual increased production. Until then, local stores will try to maintain

future delivery,
