Verily, it was a big night for the Redskins. They gained a half a
game on second-place Louisville, a and a full game on the fourthplace Blues. It seldom happens that way in a league race. In addition, the galloping Redskins brought their current home stand record to four victories against a lone setback and shook off the Kansas City jinx, at least for the-moment. Prior to last night's astiming the Blues had scalped tha ndians eight times in 12 clashes this season. The teams are booked to battle in a double-header tonight with the first tilt getting under way at 6:30. With ‘the Tribesters getting good pitching backed up by timely hitting | the mid-week bargain attraction is| expected to draw out a big crowd of | victory-hungry customers. 8 Probable Pitchers Ed Klieman and Earl Reid probably will receive the Tribe mound assignments. In achieving the shutout over the Blues last night, Rex Cecil hurled his 10th triumph of the | season, the first Tribe flipper to chalk up No. 10 in the win column. | He has lost eight tilts. Big Rex held the Kansas City boys ta six hits and kept the blows scattered. He struck out seven and |
only one of the Blues’ safeties was Bestudik. Moe. 2
for extra bases, a double by Harry Craft in the sixth. Only in the ninth stanza were the visitors suc-| cessful in putting two hits together and they came after one down. The Indians threw an 11-hit at-| tack at the Blues and Sibby Bisti | was their king swatsmith with three| and three runs batted in.. He also drew a walk and had a perfect game at the plate. . Brady Smacks Triple Extra-base swingers for the Victory field idols were Vince Shupe with a double and Bob Brady with a triple. The Tribe's hard luck hitter was Stan Wentzel, who was retired on red-hot line drives on two occasions. "The Tribesters broke into the scoring column off Al Lyons in the
third with two runs on three hits| >
and an error. They added a third marker in fourth, two in the seventh and one in the eighth. Brady smacked his triple, a long poke to left, in the eighth and it scored Wentzel, who had singled. | Al Roberge, Tribe second: sacker, | weighed In with two hits and| stretched his conseciitive game! batting streak to 19. Shupe also, was a two-hit performer. The Tribe's Joe Bestudik, who | tops the league in batting in runs, | retired from action in the fifth on account of a lame leg. He was inJured in batting practice. / Tribe officials announced the pur- | chase of Prank Drews contract from the Boston Braves. The util- | ity infielder was optioned to the!

It §. ‘Rileys’
For Newest Pro Netters
By J. E. O'BRIEN Now I know what those guys go
through who pass judgment on the monickers for race horses or the fancy, stenciled names on Pullman CATS, 80 if the nickname “Rileys” for Indianapolis’ new professional basketball team doesn't tickle your fancy, pray don’t jump down my throat or those of my colleagues who made the selection. At first glance the job didn't seem too difficult. Dick Miller, Coliseum general manager, had a thick folder full of names received from fans in the contest, and we, the judges— full of civic spirit and rich dessert —had only to pick the best. 3 We were agreed on what we wanted. The name- had to be brief enough to fit skinny headlines or the front of a basketball jersey, size medium. It had to be catchy, with an Indianapolis connotation, and with ear and eye appeal. And it couldn't be’ a name alreadv asjociated with another athletic enter-
Fills Order As Mr. Miller enumerated the en- | tries, we. haggled, scribbled, elimi- | nated, restored and balloted. Rileys,
we finally figured—or Jamus Whitcomb Rileys, officially—most nearly filled that complicated order of the preceding paragraph. And so Mr. R. G. Foster of 1840 Norfolk st. its dreamer-upper, will get a pair of season tickets to see his homenamed team play next season at_the Coliseum. The fans gave. us plenty of other choices. There were suggssétions of Incas (an Indian tribe combining
the Collies (trom the Coliseum), the Hub-Caps, the I-tals, | the Pro-Cols and the Capros. Others liked Naps, Sycamores, Metros, Imperials or Imps, Meteors, Braves, Reds, Speedways, Scalpers (no reflection on Coliseum ticket sellers), Circles, Colibees and Coli seans, Millers Suggested Several even suggested Millers in recognition of the Coliseum manager, while one fan, knowing the team would play on a floor atop the ice, proposed Polar Stars. Atoms, A-Bombers and Jets indicated the influence of modern warfare. Most contestants weren't content to stop with one suggestion. They offered the judges a choice, William E. Robertson of 2054 N. Alabama st, submitted 24 names, while Sim Miller of Hope, Ind. went even further and made 62 proposals, ranging from Tramps to B-29's. Mr, Miller was grateful for it all,

Dyer, Durocher, Grimm Make 3 It Sound Like Broken Record
mitteemien in the Mallory cafeteria
By OSCAR FRALEY, United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, July 24.—A dreary rain and mournful,” low-scudding clouds provided funereal gloom and made it a perfect day for worrying—which is exactly what the three top managers in the National league weré doing. : Eddie Dyer of the St. Louis Cardinals was fretting
over the sixth-place New York Giants instead of the Brooklyn Dodgers, with whom team is tied for the lead. i Brooklyn's Leo Durocher, to'make it consistent, was worrying about the Chicago Cubs instead of the Cardinals, And Charley Grimm of the Cubs, five games back of the twe leaders, was suspicious of Greeks bearing gifts. It bothered the erst while Jolly. Chelly that Durocher should pick his club as the team to beat. hk 4 8 / ® ® » “In the Giants we tackle » foam which has beaten us eight times in 13 games,” Dyer moaned. “We have to sweat over ways to beat the Giants. As a matter of fact we aren't half as worried about the Dodgers.” ’ ” . . » » » . “It may be whistling In the dark, but Texas Eddie feels that the Bums are high class “cousins.” In baseball parlance, a “cousin” is a team which is relatively easy to beat. “We have beaten the Dodgers nine times in 12 games and that should be convincing," Dyer explained. “Our boys have fine morale and feel they can beat the Dodgers in any given series—but those Glants.” ’ In another section of the city, Durocher wasn't wearing rose ool ored glasses as he contemplated a visit from those Cubs. “The Cubs, and not the Cardinals, are the ones to watch,” Leo the Lip reiterated, " w w M . ¥ With St. Louis heading toward Ebbets field and making no bluff about the fact that it feels it can batter the Bums, Leo, too, it would = | seem, Is making comforting noises in the vicinity of a cemetery. This particularly in view of the fact that the Dodgers have a respectable | seven and seven split in 14 games against Chicago. 3 . LJ “ . » " On the other hand, it may be a move by the shrewd Leo to bring out the Flatbush faithful and produce in his players a frenzy which will carry them safely over the shoals ahead. Grimm, the southpaw banjo player, is the guy scratching his head. Five games off the pace, he now is put on an uncomfortable little spot by Durocher's announcement that the Cubs should forge right up in there. And when The Lip makes such a statement just before meet- = ing the Cubs there may be various reasons: (1) That the Dodgers think they can stop a confident crew of Cubs; or (2), that the Bums 3 have a surprise Tea) lll both, ; » " » » . Visiting the trio like listening to a record three times. Dyer: “It will take a great ball club to beat us out. They aren't 3 pushovers, but neither are we!” Durocher: “Ditto.” Grimm: “The same.” i Meanwhile, the unhappy three sit around cussing the weather 2 which keeps them from winning ball games—and at the same time thankful that while it rains they at least can't lose.
