ALMOST OFFICIALLY' NOW the pennant races are down to two teams in the American League and three in the Nation:.] as the commissioner of baseball Ford ('. Frick informed the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians in the American league, and San Francisco, Los Angeles and Milwaukee to have World Series Tickets printed. This action means that the chances of anyone else moving into first place are very slim. THE WHITE SOX CLING TO the four and a half game lead that should put them in unless they have a very cold spell on the oncoming trip. Cleveland has quite a task if they arc to catch up but even though they are 4L out. it could be done without too much of a miracle taking place. They std.l have an explosive type team • just ask any Detroit fan after Labor Day), and a White Sox short losing streak would maybe be all it would take. If Cleveland tailspins at all. they are washd I’P- „ j, * THE GIANTS. LEADING BY 3 games, have two teams right back there and should they stumble much, chances are one of the . two will still be driving hard. A bitter pill for the Dodger fans to swallow, was the double loss to the Cub s on Sunday. This reversed would have made a real race of things. Milwaukee just seems to have too much to contend with in . the injury line. They have had it j real hard all season for a defend- ’ ing champion. * I.

SOME BIG NAMES CONTINUE to stay on top in the batting races nut the continued absence of the. perennial stai s like Musial, Williams and Mantle is just one of those things. Musial and Williams no doubt ire feeling their age. but the case of Mantle who seems to be as healthy as he has been in years is different. As one of his teammates stated, “The Yanks have to be on top for Mantle to be outstanding.” He just is one of those who plays best when on lo p- e * 1 x 1 1 HANK AARON HAS PACED both leagues all year in bat - ing. and only a couple of things could stop him now. Cunningham of St. Louis is the nearest, in h s league, while Harvey Kuenn tops the American league, not too far behind Aaron. Then there is the case of Tito Francona, the slugging “pick-up” for Cleveland. The one thing that will keep him from a title is lack of trips to the plate. After being pushed from Baltimore to Chicago to Detroit to Cleveland. he has found a home there ’in a big way with his lusty hitting. These cases happen every once in a while, but Francona is the main reason the Indians are still in the flag race in that league. WITH THE RACES GETTING down to that final stage, hrterest starts to lag a little except in the cities where the pennant flags will fly or the closest competitors, and football again takes over. College games will begin a week from । Saturday on a light schedule and; hit it full force the following week. The pros begin the play-for-pay style on Sunday, the 27 th, and first thing you know it is here

land gone. The pros this year are ; going to have a real donneybrook, ; beating each others brains out and | all trying to beat Baltimore’s. A team a s sound as the Colts can I be beaten on a. couple of different: : fashions. One, a key injury might, be more than they could take, or I two, the complacent attitude may; have some effect.' In past years | ; the Colts have always started in, strong fashion and until last year.; weakened about the middle or a : little later in the season. AT ANY RATE. THERE ARE: 'some pretty fair country ball play-; 'ers around this league on other teams that may have something! । to say about that late game for the. । title. The Bears and Rams are known to be tough, the up one year and down the next Lions will j ;be right in there with a better, j offensive line if it comes around.! Frisco has some real good stars' (especially on the offense and Green Bay. for several years a consistent) : second division club, is still work-j ing along the rebuilding lines. THE GIANTS LOOK TOUGH) I in the Eastern half with Cleveland, i (Pittsburgh, and Washington all wellj irespected. This also could be al !year the Cardinals could make a I move and Philadelphia, has Van Brocklin, one of the finest passers, ; ever to play the game. Pro footi ball is one of the many sports that. । has leaped into prominence by the I means of television. Once you see' it, you can't stav away. I " LIVING IN THE MID-WEST, I a person almost has to be a foot-’ hall bug as this is the heart of the Big Ten. This plus the fact that Notre Dame is next door,; 'provides the best in college foot 1 ball every fall. With Football now coming into it^ own in schools in! this territory and destined for a' much broa^r scope in about four : । or «:ve years, it is certain that 'many people will be following the| । '.game much closer and enjoying it ijmoie as they learn move about it. Football is one game that requires ■ knowledge of the game to have | inteirst. Even the ladies go for;

.football in their usual strong fash|ion once they understand the game. MOVIE REVIEWS From THE RIALTO “A Hole in the Head,” opening ’ Sunday for 4 days at the RIALTO Theatre through United Artists re- > lease .stars Frank Sinatra in the . most lovable role of his brilliant p career; a happy-go-lucky guy who gloves his kid. his Miami Hotel, and maybe a couple of women in s his life. i The film is a screen adaptation 1 of Arnold Schulman's Bfiadway < hit play and in addition to Sinatra, > stars Edward G. Robinson, Eleanor i Parker. Carolyn Jones, Thelma i Ritter and Kennan Wynn. And it introduces Eddie Hodges, the ( twelve-year-old star of “The Music Man," making his movie debut, j Frank Capia, three-time Ac.'d-j . emy Award winner, produced and directed “A Hole in the Head" for ’ Sincap Productions (a title mad’, ’ trp of his name and Sinatra's) in j DeLuxe color and Cinema Scope.! Arnold Schulman wrote the screen-, J play. William Daniels was dhector! ;of photography, and Nelson Riddle) composed and conducted th e musi-' cal score. , For “A Hole in the Head,', I Frank performed in an added 'capacity as co-producer. Thus when he was not actually before (the cameras, he spent his time on the set conferring with various ; department heads on .such vari;d aspects of movie production as costumes, sets, advertising campaigns. and other important matters. Edward G. Robinson makes a , very welcome return to comedy in “ A Hole in the Head". Although ieveryone knows that he achiev'd his greatest screen fame in “Little Caesar” and in other gangster roles in the same pattern, only a very few are aware that he began his distinguished stage career in light comedy. Eleanor Parker. Hollywood’s “nice gill”, plays a nice girl in “A Hole in the Head.” Carolyn Jones as Sinatra's goofy girl friend, is called upon to play : the bongos, dance everything from ia foxtiot to a wild samba, undress behind a sheltering palm, swim jin the surf by moonlight in the 'altogether, and play a love sc ne jclad only in a man's shirt. Thelma Ritter, one of the greatjest comediennes in show business, : makes a return to Hollywood in /•A Hole in the Head' after a two. I year sabbatical. Keenan Wynn comes bv his tal|ents through one of the truly disTinguished theatrical lineages. His I grandfather was Frank Keenan, the great matinee idol of the early ! 1900’s, and his father, of course |is the beloved comedian. Ed Wynn. «■ I
