Tribe Trips Kansas City, 4-2 Indians Take |p re

Pope May Be City's 6th League Batting Champ

IT'S BEEN six years since the Indianapolis Indians turned out an individual batting champion to wear the American Association crown and this could be the season for a Tribester to duplicate Sibby Sisti’s 1946 achievement. Sisti, righthanded swinging” inftelder, who still is up

and around giving his all for the Boston Braves, won the |

AA hitting a average of .343 . . . Dave Pope, the Indians’ t contender, who swings from the left side, right now is pressing Kansas City's Don Bollweg for the league leadership. Lefthanders haven't been giving Pope too much trouble and he's extra fast getting down to first base . . . Beating out rollers now and then will add to his base hit

total and count just as much in the averages as his out-

field singles, doubles, triples and home runs.

When the fleet center fielder was called up by the parent Cleveland Indians early in July he was. batting .344 . . . After returning to the Hoosier Redskins Dave picked up where he

left off, only at a faster pace. n n EJ » »

INDIANAPOLIS has had five individual batting leaders down through the years, since the American Association was organized in 1902 . . . Jack Hayden, outfielder, annexed the honors in 1908 with a mark of .316 . . . Reb Russell, outfielder, was next, in 1927, with the whopping average of .385. Then came Frank Sigafoos, infielder, in 1933 with a towering .370, Johnny Cooney, outfielder, in 1935 with

another towering .371, and of course, Sisti in 1946. s ” ”

Friday is “payday on the Wabash” almost everywhere nowadays and many persons don’t have to get up and go to work Saturday morning . . . Didn't take long for the major club bosses to wise up to the situation « « « They're already shouting for more Friday playing dates in the 1953 schedules . . . It has taken precedence over Saturday in baseball patronage ... The American Association has yet to catch up with the trend . . . It used last Friday as a travel date.

Old Jersey Joe Walcott, who holds no fear of Father Time and still holds the title, is one of the best defensive heavyweights on record . ; « He's also cagey . , . Make a mistake with Joe in there and he’ll bring home the bacon again .". . In some fashion, the veteran champ has learned to relax ‘while in the ring without neglecting: the business of staying on the alert with an ever ready punch to let fly for the target.

Walcott weighs around 190—not a light heavyweight like Harry Matthews—takes a punch well and he’s a potent hitter himself « « « Another thing, as events turned out, most boxing writers now agree that Matthews was not much of a test for the aggressive and rock-jawed Rocky. :

Myer, Va., won the 12-team Virginia semi-pro tournament with a perfect record of five wins . . . The team thus qualified for the annual national semi-pro tournament to open at Wichita, Kas., Aug. 15. Huge cash prizes are at stake in the Wichita event

and the Ft. Myer team is a cinch to be a strong contender |

to pocket the richest awards, what with a big league battery working and O'Connell on hand to spark the infield and bat in runs.

When O'Connell was taken away from the Indianapolis«¢|

Indians by the Pittsburgh Pirates in midseason of 1950 he was batting .351 . . . In 84 games Danny Boy collected 20 doubles, . foyr triples and eight homers, scored 65 runs and batted in 50 +. . Previously he had starred for the St. Paul Saints, in 1949, ot third base . . . The Indians converted him into a shortstop.

It was only the fourth victory 4for the Indians over the Blues in 113 clashes this season.

The contest produced four home runs, by Kal Segrist and Bob {Cerv of the visitors and by George Stirnweiss and Miesen of the home forces.

Stirnweiss’ ‘round tripper wita one on in the sixth tied the score. His drive soared over the left field wall with Bobby Wilson on base, and Nielsen's winning fourmaster was a line drive over the right center barrier. It was Milt's sixth. of the season and the third by Stirnweiss. p

THE victory boosted the Indians back into the first division, fourth place, ousting the Minneapolis Millers, who lost at Columbus. Charlie Sipple held the powerhouse Blues to seven hits, two of them rollers. He issued but two passes and racked up four strikeouts. It brought his record to 7-4. Young Cereghino entered the game with a 10-2 record and held the Redskins hitless until Wilson beat out a

bunt as first up in the fourth stanza,

Yanks Defeat Russ, 610 to 553i, to Win

Unofficial Crown

By United Press

HELSINKI, Aug. 2—The United States staged the greatest comeback in the history of the Olympic games today when it charged from behind on the final day of major competition to sew up the team championship which seemed hopelessly lost less than a week ago. . Six days before the Russians lorded a whopping 12014 point lead, but gradually the Yanks chiseled it down to 2414 points at the start of today's competition. Then came the tingling do-or-die surge. The U. 8. basketball team wiggled out of a deep-freeze in the last three minutes to beat Russia, 36-25. Sun-bronzed little Ford Konno of Ohio State streaked

_ to a record-smashing victory in the 1500-meter swimming

race to edge the U. 8: in front for the first time in the 15th Olympiad. 4 8» .'s “@& AND PATRICIA McCORMICK of Long Beach, Cal., became Uncle Sam's only double winner of 1952 when she headed a 1-2-3 sweep of the women’s high dive.
