"Any of the three leading clubs that gets red hot for a spell could win it," said Richards. r "A 13-game winning streak such as the Yankees finished on Sunday could be devastating if any one of us had such good luck from now on in. But I doubt if anybody does have such a break of fortune. The way I see things, it's going to 1te a ding-dong, three club battle right to the wire."- .

Manager Casey Stengel of the Yankees had expressed some concern because from one wing of the press box it is possible to look into the Yankee dugout "Your hitters have got to be doing their best or your pitching will go to waste," said Richards in - aiagnosing U,B American league race. - : "That's the way I see the situa tion during the 10 games the Yank ces will play withus and the In oians during the next 19 days. "AH three clubs have top men in the run producing department guys you couia cau keys to sue cess. The team that gets the most production out of these men is the one that is bound to move ahead."

Both victories were decisive wins, West Salem Steel blanking Truax Oil, 9-0, and the Lions bust ing Vista Market, 11-4. West Salem Steel kept up a con sistent hitting attack in each in ning for their win. Jerry Gertzen singled for the first score in the opening inning. In the third Dale Wulf brought in two runs with a single. Dick Sellers duplicated Senators Financial Report Given atio iSfe Item ion Ray &WiWs Get 12th Win Ray and Wilma's blasted 14 runs off three ' Post Office pitchers lor a 17-0 landslide victory and the National Guard kept its up-and-coming- pace to down Berg's Mar ket 14-5. in two Industrial League softball games Tuesday night. . .

An up-to-date financial picture of Salem Senators, Inc., was provided Tuesday by Bruce Williams, president of the baseball club's board of directors. It was accompanied by the enthusiastic prediction that "if we can draw between 30,000 and 33,000 fans for our zz remaining noma dates this season, we will possibly have the best financial season we've bad here since the corporation took over the ball club in 1931." Williams pointed out , that on TJune 22, when the "Save Your Senators' night was held, the or ganization .was approximately $17,000 in debt, and with no bank account whatever. . .. Thanks to the -LOOO-plus -who attended the Save" night, and the persistent efforts of Williams and the board of directors since then, they have reduced the ac counts payable column to slight ly less than 310,000, and now have a bank account in the neigh borhood of $5,000. '. Much of this was secured by the board members' collecting money for, stock pledged in the club lasUyear, and via the sale oz oonus ucxet dooki. The club is faced with a stiff outlay of cash on August 1. Some 32,600 must be paid out in sal aries, and other bills total around $4,000, which include government tax, lights, etc. r "Despite the worst June on record for weather and our poor attendance - to date," Williams summarized, "we can come close to breaking even for the entire season if we can draw around 70,000 for the year.-JV The Senators' attendance total to date is 38,467. . "If we can pick up $1,500 for Wednesday nijht's 'Pack the Park' game here, it will solve lots of worries we have about uiat August x facing Ms," Wil liams added. : ,r ' .. '- There ace eight games on the Waters Field schedule between now and August h and if attend ance 4or tonight's "Pack the Park, game,' Thursday night's "New York Giants Night" and others are sufficient as hoped, the club will be without many of its financial problems. - Admission is free to tonight's game, but patrons will find bar rels installed at each entrance into which they will be invited to toss whatever "admission fee" they desire. Williams furthered, "We're clos er to breaking even here than any other dub-in the league by thou sands of dollars, which is a dis tinct tribute to the efforts of Bill Paul us, Russ Bonesteele, Bob Ash- by and Walt Zosel (members of the Senators board)." So this week is another crucial one in the life of the current 25th St operation. If things go right (most of em through the turn stiles at Waters Field), the "June disaster" could be wiped out and the 1954' operation, financially peaking, turn out to be the best of tne last lour., seasons here.

Pompey Fights Ward Tonight CHICAGO Hi Trinidad's Yc- Iande Pom per, , British Empire middleweight champion, is rated a 5-2 favorite over rugged Moses Ward of Detroit in his U.S. ring debut Wednesday night at Chicago stadium. : Ward, a 23-year-old slugger with I a Dusy. windmui - type atiaca, should be anything but a pushover for. the 25-year-old native of the West Indies.

Burkemo Calls Kroll Bisest Fear in PGA. . . . , . . . i . .. t . j . . ' By WDX GRIMSLEY t ST. PAUL, Minn, tfl Defend ing Champion waiter Burkemo took issue with the experts Tues day and named lightly-regarded Ted Kroll as the man to beat for the Professional Golfers Assn. title during the next week. , "I'm not discountHngT my own chances of repeating because I'm playing well." the boon -faced Franklin, Mich., pro said, "but if I had to name me man I fear most it would be Kroll.' j- Ted is murderous with the wedge and is putting great This is the course that favors a man who is master -of the wedge." "There is a lot. of talk of Sam Snead and Cary Middlecoff. They are great hitters and dangerous on a long, tough course. But they'll be just two other players here." : The first round of the 36-hole on-the-scene . qualifying ! begins over the sun - parched Keller Course Wednesday morning. Although ex empt, Burekomo said be would try for the $250 medalist; prize. A total of 135 touring and teach ing pros, the best in their respec tive sections, will attempt to quali fy Wednesday and Thursday. The 64 survivors will launch match play Friday when two- 18-hole rounds will be played. This day has become luiowa jtji "Black Friday" for toe b& name pros, who in recent years have fall en like mown bay in these two cur tailed opening rounds. After the first day, all matches go the 36 hole route through next Tuesday's finals. : -'-' i Thus a total ' of 316 holes Is crammed into seven days, making the PGA the, most rugged test in golf. Its strenuous nature long ago discouraged Ben Hogan, who hasn't participated since he won it in 1948.' - , . v.,. That year, incidentally, Vas the last time before this that the event has been honored with the presence of the-UA open titleholder. Ed Furgol, surprise winner i the Open last month at Baltusrol, is a contender thanks to a para graph in the PGA bj-laws which makes the Open king automatically eligible but he doesn't think much of his chances.' ' I i . Snead and Middlecoff, who have taken away most of the loot from the St. Paul Opens played here annually, are the gallery and newspaper favorites, I but Sam turned up again Tuesday with a sore neck which might nullify bis chances.
