Yankees Play Indian-Givers, Regain Top, 1-0
* By MILTON RICHMAN United Preas Sports Writer
NEW YORK, Aug. 23—The New York Yankees, who “loaned” the American League lead to Cleveland for 24 hours, played Indian-givers and snatched it back today as strong-armed-Vic Raschi thrashed the Tribe, 1-0, with his consistent six-hit pitching. The Yanks now lead the league by one game. A tight-knit Yankee defense, particularly around second-base, pulled Raschi out of the few holes he was in. But after New York went ahead in the fourth inning on back-to-back doubles by Gene Woodling and Joe Col-

Va., and what to do about the apparent demise of professional baseball in Columbus will be the heaviest headaches on the agenda.
All signs point to a winter of “big decisions” to be | made, and if the directors don't guess rightly the first | time, it's a cinch to be rough going again in the Midwest's big minor league in 1953. Attendance has fallen off again generally but since seven of the eight clubs operate under major league ownership none of these is likely to be starved out, even Columhbus, which is losing its shirt at the gate. Charleston has given its eighth-place club more support than anyone could expect . . . But how about next year? ... Attendance started dwindling during the Senators’ last home stand and Eddie Doherty, president of the Louisville club, remarked, “I note Charleston has finally joined the league” . ..

McGregor Survive National Doubles
years was the semifinal with Sedgman and McGregor pitted against the rising stars from the Land Down Under. Only the luck of the draw which placed both their teams in the lower bracket prevented this from being a repetition of last year’s all-Australian final. For a time it appeared that the Sedgman-McGregor combine might be meeting their first defeat since they were beaten at the Newport (R. I.) Casino invitation tourney a year ago. n o - WITH ROSEWALIL starring in the fore-court and young Hoad providing the power, the pair literally drove their elders back from the net. One rally, which the lads won after Rosewall had gone deep on a recovery, brought the gallery of 5000 to their feet with cheers. Lo. In the first set the lanky and accurate McGregor was broken twice on service. Rosewall was broken once ‘in the first set, | twice in the second and twice in |
the fourth. Sedgman, one of the finest players ever produced in any land, was invincible at service, and had two love games to his credit. su = MULLOY, 38, and Talbert, 33, had little chance from the opening serve, Seixas was all-powerful, Rose craft and cute. But Mulloy was having one of the worst days of his career and missed shots from all points of the court, Even Talbert’s strong service could not save the match as the winners took the opening three games in the first set, the opening two in the second, and all but the first and sixth games in the final. Mulloy was broken once in the first set, twice in the second and once in the third when Talbert also caved in. The second time he was broken in thé second set he had the game at 40-love, then blew up. In the third set he finally broke after six game points and during the course of that marathon doublefaulted four times
