Deadlocked
Americans
Meet for Fray
Schedule-Maker a
Genius - Next Seven
Games Will Tell Tale
By The Associated Press
Attention Will Harridge, Pres
ident of the American League:
How about handing a bonus to the
fellow who made out that dream
turnstile schedule?
Either the bey is blessed with un
canny foresight or else he is just
plain lucky. How else cruld he have
mapped out a schedule that brings
together the four tcp teams today
and right on through the next sev
en games?
Specifically, the pace-setting
Yankees and the red hot Cleveland
Indians battle it out for the league
lead today, tomorrow' and Thurs
day. At the same time, the Boston
Red Sox, tied with the Indians for
second place, slug it out with the
fourth-place Chicago White Sox.
Comes switch
On Friday they switch, Chicago
comes to the Yankee Stadium for
a four-game series while Cleveland
travels to Boston for a three-game
set at Fenway Park. Is that top
notch-schedule-making or not?
Today’s Card-Pitts-New York's
Vic Raschi (13-6) against Cleve
land’s Early Wynn (10-9) and Chi
cago’s Howie Judson (4-2) against
Boston’s Maury McDermott (5-5)
or Leo Kiely (2-0).
The Yankec-Indians game is an
afternoon affair. The Red Sox and
White Sox clash upder the lights.
At present, cnly two percentage
points separate the Yankees from
the deadlocked Indians and Red
Sox. The Yankees arc playing .699
ball, the Indians and Red Sox .607.
All four managers are optimistic,
even Paul Richards of the sagging
White Sox.
Not Discouraged
Although dismayed by four
straight losses to Washington which
knocked his men out of first place
into the bottom of the first div
ision, Richards was far from dis
couraged.
■ “Look,” he pointed out. “We lost
10 out of 11 at home. Yet we fell
only two and a half games behind
the others.”
Only one game was played in the
majors yesterday and that was a
real slugfest. The Boston Braves
nipped th“ Pirates, 15-14, under
the lights at Pittsburgh. The Brave
scored the winning run in the
eighth when Roy Hartsfield singled
pinch runner Sibby Sisti home
Ralph Kiner hit his 25th homer for
Pittsburgh.
The National League’s eastern
teams swing into the west today
with Brooklyn holding an 81- game
lead. The Dodgers open at Chicago.

Rainiers Go
Forth to
Parry Cellar
By The Associated Press
The Pacific Coast League-leading
Seattle Rainiers, boasting a six
game bulge after taking four out
of five from their nearest challeng
er, Hollywood, began a road trip
last night against San Diego, co
sharer of the basement with the San
Francisco Seals.
San Diego has shown evidence
cf being on the upgrade but the
less of their team batting leader.
Clarence Maddern, to the Cleveland
Indians will not help them through
any clutches against Seattle, which
hasn't dropped a series since early
June.
Hollywood, trying to repair its
fences and be ready for the next
•‘crocshiar against Seattle in the;
cinema capital next month, is home
for a nine-game stay and entertains
Oakland tonight.
Seattle and Hollywood are the
only clubs playing .503 or better ball.
They have 49 games each left to
play, Seattle 24 at home, Holllywood
30, and they each play San Diego,
Sacramento, Oakland and Los Ang
eles almost the same number of
games. In the odd series, Seattle will
meet Portland and the Stars face
San Francisco.
Seattle will send Jim Davis (9-4)
or Earl Johnson (4-0) against San
Diego's Red Embree (6-12) tonight.
