ONE SLIP AND OUT IN
AMERICAN LEAGUE RACE
by The Associated Press
The crucial has become the
commonplace in tihe fantastic
American league pennant race.
One slip on the part of any of
the four contenders could mean
finis to its hopes.
Only 4!x2 games separate the
league leading New York Yan
kees from the fourth place Bos
ton Red Sox. In between stand
the Ohicalgio White Sox a half
game behind the Yanks and the
Cleveland Indians, one game
back.
Someone has to crack. Yet no
one< shows any signs of giving
in. If anything, all four are
getting stronger on paper.
The Yanks home run power
again is asserting itself and its
pitching is in order.
The White Sox again have
Dick Donovan, their ace pitcher
on the firing line for the stretch
He was laid up because of an
appendectomy for three weeks.
The Indians appear ready to
roll with a four game winning
! streak.
^ The Red Sox, hanging dog
gedly on, are backing up their
pitchers with timely hitting.
And Ivan Delock’s pitching has
been a revelation.
Boston and Cleveland clash
head-on tonight, while the
Yanks and White Sox have eas

NEW YORK (JP) Admitting
the fexiow might be Slightly
prejudiced and his remarks
constitute just one man’s opin

to quote Charley Goldman to
the effect that:
(1) — The Rocky Marciano
of today would beat Joe Louis
at the Brown Bomber's peak.
(2) — Marciano has sacrific

(3) — Rocky has not yet reach

fighter next vear than he is
today.
Charley Goldman is the
gnome like little chap whose
work, hobby, and very life are
concentrated in the person of
the heavyweight champion,
I whom he is training for a title
defense against Archie Moore
at Yankee Stadium Sept. 20.
We’ll let Charley give his
| ideas in his own words, as fol

“My business is to look for
faults in Rocky’s style. And then
correct them. I pick out one
! fault at a time, and work on
! that until he can do by instinct
what he used to have to stop
to think to do -- to roll with a
punch, to counter.

as he did, but he could if he set
himself for one .blow. We sac
