By EDDIE ASH > Times Sports Editer Don't be alarmed; fans. Everything will come out all right. It's true that the Indians lost a game, but don't get blue. They'll probably start another victory march tonight at the Minneapolis Millers’ expense. The Millers are booked in here for two tilts, one tonight, one tomorrow night, and at their helm is Hoosier Billy Herman, who managed the Pittsburgh Pirates
last year. Tackling the Indians, Herman will be looking at the Little Pirates for the first time. He was appointed Minneapolis, skipper only recently when Man Frank Shellenback’s health failed. The Millers are running fifth, 1212 games behind the Tribe league leadews, and there's not a whole lot to fear from them. But a team is a team and since the Mill City nine finally got back to an even .500 percentage by winning in Louisville last night, they are a cinch to make it a battle against the Redskins.

Batting for Hallett in the ninth, Roy Weatherly hit one out of the park but it swerved foul. Then he singled. The Indians got two walks, two hits and two runs in the ninth and but for great stops by second sacker Mickey Witek and pitcher Charles Schanz, they might have caught up with the Blues. The Indians got ones or more runners on base in every inn and a little more clutch hitting would have made a big difference, since they left 12 runners stranded. They received seven

AAU Secretary Dan Ferris, who keeps the books on world track accomplishment, is convinced the U. 8. will make a typical winning show in the Olympics. * Owens Starred in '38 In 19368, the U. 8. won everything up to 1500 meters, with Jesse Owens winning the 100 and 200, Archie Williams the 400 and Long John Woodruff the 800. All four of them figured to win and that's the chief reason U.' 8. hopes were soaring even before the team sailed for Berlin. This year however, only the 100 and possibly the 800 appear within the grasp of American athletes, The 100 depends on the tricky legs of Southern California’s Mel Patton, who has clicked off the world’s fastest 100 yards in 9.3 seconds. At least two halfmilers — Dave Bolen of Colorado and Mal Whitfield of Ohio State —have run 800 meters thig, year under the 1:529 with which Woodruff won She Olympic title in '36. Betters Olympic Record The 400 apparently is all wrapped up for Herb McKenley, former University of Illinois star, who will compete for Jamaica. He has done it in 46.4, whereas the 400-meter record as set by Williams in 1936 was 47 flat. Lloyd LaBeach of Panama, a regular on the U. 8. circuit, has done 20.2 for 200 meters, compared to Owens’ winning Olympic time of 20.7 in ’36.
