By Carl LundquUt I ' , UP Staff Correspondent New York, June 20. (UK- Manager Ossie Bluege, wno doubts his Washington Senators will add to the commotion in the national capital by bringing the world series there this fail, ,sad today he believed the Amer ican league pennant would go to "any team that can keep to gether the players it has now. "It looks as if we will all be losing players from now on out and the loss of Just one key man will be a vital factor to any team," he said. Taking an off-day audit of the standings after his Monday game with the Yankees was rained out, Bluege said the pennant still was within easy grasp for any ' club, provided they can "put on an occasional winning streak of five or six games and keep their pitching staff in shape." "We've been up against it be cause we lack a power hitter and because we are shorter on pitchers than any other team in the league," he said. "We have to take a goqd licking every so often just to let some of our pitchers get rested up." Yanks Unmentioned Bluege, who significantly omitted the world champion New York Yankees from any of his specific references, said the batting punch of the Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox might pay off in a pennant for either club. "Any team that can win nine In a row like the Red Sox just did has to be reckoned with this season," he said. "They were go ing along in the second division! and all of a sudden started win ning games and they haven't V I'hc CRYOLITE MOM ORItNLAND man ?-Q 50 lh' b', ipiiiiiiii a 33 ' J When you say "Barclay's" you are m FA? $j&kf ) 5 ' 1 helping to continue a friendship fa M, gnmid ff'' yve value most highly! j( 11 f j 3krtlamy I MIVAII STOCK O l?'- Straight RYE Whiskey fUp?'

The St. Louis Browns with what he described as a "wonder ful winning spirit" may have their troubles from now on, he said. "They had more players than any of us before they had to cut down to make the player limit," he said. "They had two sets of outfielders for every position, giving them a chance to alter nate against right and left hand ed pitching. And what is very Important, they have the same Infield they hud a year ago and that Is something that you can't say for very many clubs this year. However, things may be different for them from now on, especially with a long road trip coming up."

(U.R) As far as New York National league fans are concerned, the baseball season Is a success if the Giants win more than half of their games from the Brook lyn Dodgers and today they were reasonably certain that this season would be a whooping tri umph. The Dodger-Giant rivalry probably is the most bitterly contested In baseball today and of the 10 games the clubs have played this season, the Giants have emerged on the long end of the score seven times. The two meet 22 times over the campaign and at their current pace, the Giants stand to win 14 or more of the meetings. . In the 10 games played the giants have scored a total of 79 runs as compared with the 44 the Dodgers have chased across the plate the most humiliating defeat coming April 30, when nearly 60,000 fans saw the New Yorkers trounce the "bums," 26-8 to establish a seasonaly high scoring mark. Last night, playing at Ebbets field In heavy weither the New Yorkers swamped Durocher's dismals In their own back yard, 10-2. The victory put the driv ing Giants within a half game of the second place Pittsburgh Pirates, extended their current victory string to four games and marked their 17th triumph in their last 22 games. Harry Feldman recorded his sixth victory of the campaign and his third over the Dodgers as he scattered eight hits in his evening's chore. But more pleas ing to New York fans, who would miss a chicken dinner to see a Brooklyn player commit an error, was the fact that the Dodgers mishandled three chances.

"Passage To Marseille" Coming ! -A 7X - '4 m Michele Morgan and Hum - phrey Bogart In a scene from their latest and timely motion Eight-Club Pro Loop To Hold First Confab By Gene Friedman United Press Staff Correspondent Los Angeles, June 20 (U.R) And the American Professional Football league, brainchild of W. L. (Big Bill) Freelove, emer ges from its hothouse consistency into full bloom with the two-day league meeting Thursday and Friday. 'Eight clubs, each of which has one or more backers of the solid flesh variety, will be rep resented at the meeting, actual ly the first organization meet ing of the league, since up un til recently the league's mem bership was in doubt. At this writing there are eight clubs (a nice even num ber) Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego, Hollywood and two Los Angeles teams, one of which is unnamed and the other of which is Free love's own Mustangs. Among other things the meet ing will be to decide whether Lcs Angeles is capable of sup porting three professional foot ball teams in the same league. It may be decided to transfer the franchise elsewhere, per haps Spokane, but at the mo ment, there are still three Los Angeles teams. Jerry Glesler, who has signi fied assent, will be selected of ficially president and commis sioner of the league. The selec tion of Glesler to head the league is expected to strengthen the league, not only as to lead ership, but in prestige. A constitution and by-laws for the league are among the other Important matjers that will come up and it is expected that both a constitution and by laws will be adopted at the two day session. In addition a schedule will be devised for the convenience of the eight contestants. League play is expected to open some time early in September, but even that general date is only tentative. Games will be played on Wednesday nights and on Sunday afternoons, as long as the weather permits, but that again is something that will be thrashed out at the meeting. Eligibility of players what college players will be permit ted to play, what former pro players, mostly ex - National leaguers will be allowed to play these are also matters that are expected to come up. There will be a frank discus sion of what Gene Doyle, press relations man for the league, terms "territorial rights," or the right of franchise, mostly re volving upon the odd situation which finds Los Angeles sup porting or hoping to support three teams. There are many enthusiasts who still expect the American league to be as strong or strong er than the veteran National league, who expect the National league eventually to be forced into yearly playoffs with this "child prodigy." The old refrain can still be used "watch us grow!"
