James J. Dykes, chunky manager
of. the Chisox, is in the throes of
a psychological about-face.
Professor Dykes is now blister
ing his own players with the hot
test verbul applications he can
concoct, instead of burning up
opposing performers and umpires.
We came upon the round and
raucous man in Hie Yankee sta
dium drosing room, uflor Chi-
cugo hud beaten the Yanks, 0-5,
.Sunday in 12 innings. Dykes, in
gray road uniform, was silting
before his locker, puffing willi
savage satisfaction upon a large
and allegedly fragrant cigar.
Own Club
"I told 'em off," he muttered
in grim contentment. "I really
told 'cm off; and we beat 'em.
We out-hustled 'em and out-la-
ed 'em."
Just what did he tell those
Yankees? an alert reporter
wanted lo know. And what par
ticular Yanks wtls he 'riding"
during the game?
Yanks, bell!" snorted Dykes,
with an accompanying burst of
smoke. "I'm talkin' about my own
club. I really told my guys off.
We had a little meeting right
here in this room and 1 gave it
to them like 1 never handed it
out before.
Wont to Work
'I started off slow and easy
like told 'em I was probably
wastin' my lime talkin' to 'em
necause seme or em w ere so
sloppy' and lazy they probably
wouldn't even listen. And then I
really went lo work on 'cm.
"No, it wasn't any pep talk. It
was the most serious talk I ever
made in my life. I said tilings to
UIL'IU 1 lll-Vl-l SUld IM illl.V Ullll'l
group of men. It wasn't just a
spur-of-the-moment b 1 o w off.
Things had been building up to
this for some lime. They needed
some applied psychology, and
CORBY'S
JM,
Dreamin'
UP Staff Correspondent
they got it. And they'll get plenty
more if they don't hustel. I've
come to the conclusion that ap
plied psychology can w i n the
pennant this seuson more than
unything else because of the
minor leugue complex thai seems
to have settled upon some of our
tennis."

By CARL LUNQUIST

Wouldn't it be funny if the poor
old Browns managed to defend
their championship while the
high and mighty Cardinuls miss
ed out?
It could happen.
Although the Browns have
been kicked around down in the

through much of the season, they
have "perked up" lately and to
day are only a'half game further
back in their American league
race than the Cardinals are in

to give the Browns a 5 to 1
second game victory.
Meanwhile the Cards were
taken over the bumps ut St.
Louis by the much kidded Dod
gers, 3 to 1 and 8 to 7. The Dod
gers came from behind to win
the first game for' Hal Gregg, the

the sun kayocd him in the eighth.
In the second game, Charley Bar
rett wns given his worst beating
since joining the Cards, being
batted out in a six-run first inn
ing rally.

Hal Newhouscr won his 15th
game for the Tigers, a I) to I
four-hitter, but Philadelphia look
advantage of an error by Bobby
Maier to score two unearned runs
and beat Al Benton in the second
game, 2 to I.
Washington, two and a half
games behind the Tigers, failed
lo gain with a 5 to 4 victory and
!) to 3 defeat against Cleveland.
The Yankees, led by Coach Art
Fletcher in the absence of Man
ager Joe McCarthy, who is ill,
dropped a 12-inning thriller to
the visiting White Sox, 6 lo 5.
when Lcroy Schalk singled home
Wully Moses from second.

From Hollywood
By JACK DAILEY
