Indians Have
Yanks' Scalp
—Practically
Cleveland 3 Games in
Front-New York Needs
Next 2 or Else
Bv the Associated Press
The Cleveland Indians, streaking
three games ahead in the bristling
American League pennant fight, are
in an excellent position today to
smash the New York Yankee ' hope
of a third straight flag.
Manager A1 Lopez' fighting gang
have the proud Yankees on the ropes
and set up for the kill.
The Indians moved three games
ahead of New York yesterday as
Bob Lemon turned back the Yanks,
2-1. in the opener of a vital three
game series.
The Yanks must win the next two
games in order to stay in the run
ning. A sweep by the Indians will
boost thejr lead to five games and
the wa-y the Tribe has been roaring
along that would just about seal it
up.
Lemon permitted only three hits
In out-pitching Vic Raschi yester
day in a game that was high
lighted by a near fist fight in (lie
seventh inning between Bob Avila
of the Indians and Gene Woodling
of the Yanks.
Avila and Woodling tangled when
the Yank outfielder plowed into the
little Tribe second br. email in a
successful attempt to break up a
double play. The two were sepa
rated before any blows were struck
and allowed to remain in the game.
In other American League games
the Philadelphia Athletics defeated
the Chicago ■ White Sox, 6-3. the
Boston Red Sox humbled the St.
Louis Browns, 9-3, and the Wash
ington Senators humiliated the De
troit Tigers, 10-0. The St. Louis
Cardinals downed the Brooklyn
Dodgers, 4-2, in the only National
League game.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23 — .PI —
Two exhibition victories hardly
make a regular season of battle in
the National Football league, but
championship hopes of the Lo An
geles Rams sprang into full bloom
today.
Coach Joe Stydahar’s explosive
Rams plastered a 42-14 licking on
the proud Chicago Bears last night
in the worst defeat suffered by
George Halas’ midway monsters
since 1929.
The Rams, scoring seven touch
downs, had the Bears bleeding by
a 42-7 count until the final two
minutes. Then a Ram fumble on
their own five set up an easy chance
to collect a touchdown.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24 — — No
more Folies Bergere on the tennis
courts. Patrons attending the na
tional championships starting Sat
urday at Forest Hills will have to
take their tennis, straight.
That was the edict handed down
today by the sedate fathers of the
ancient sport who are horrified by
the growing trend toward lace
panties, low necklines and other
fashions that accent feminine
charms.
"A few innocent kids have been
falling for daring tennis costumes
designed purely for commercial rea
sons,” said Russell B. Kingman,
president of the U.S. Lawn Tennis
Association.
“It’s time this was stopped. What
we want, and now insist upon, is
more good taste, with emphasis on
competition instead of questionable j
fashion displays.”
