New York, July 23
Can the Cleveland Indlani re
verse their usual procedure as
front-running "fold, up" guys
and come from behind to win
that pennant they have been
seeking since the golden days
of Tris Speaker In 1920?
' That's the qui question before
he fans in the American league
race today, but there wasn't
sufficient evidence to indicate
that it could be answered in the
affirmative. Still In fourth
place, four and a half games
behind tho leading St. Louis
Browns, they have in their fa-
'vor the fact that they, are plBy
; Ing the best brand of baseball
in Uie league and that they may
be able to muster full strengm
ioon for that final drive.
Whether the return of the
testy Jim Bagby will be as
much of a help as his 17-game
.victory record of last year
would make it appear was an
other question to be answered.
:Any club can use a winning
pitcher these days but Bagby
had bitter differences with Man
, ager Lou Boudreau and though
he insists these have been
patched up, the pair have re
fused for photographers to
gether. ; Bagby'g first victory, a five
hit job against the Athletics, In
dicated he had lost none of his
"'stuff" while away In the mer
chant marine.
It was a rookie pitcher, Ed
Klieman, who guided the Indi
ans to their eighth victory in 11
starts, 10 to 1, over Washington
yesterday. Klieman held the
Nats to four hits while getting
15-hit batting support. First
Baseman Mickey Focco led the
attack with three hits, driving
in five runs.
Browns Keep Pace
The Browns remained two
and a half games ahead of the
VnnVnn, Vtv rinumlntf th Ttnifnn
Red Sox 6 to 3.
The Detroit Tigers kept pace
with the contenders behind
Paul (Dizzy) Trout's shutout
pitching, beating the Philadel
phia A'a and Pitcher Bobo New
torn, 1 to 0.
The Yankees, led by Bud
Motheny's 12th and John Lln
dell's ninth homers, defeated
the Chicago White Sox, 11 to 8,
getting 16 hits. Ernie Bonham,
unsteady at times, won his sev
enth game.
Ted Wilks won his eighth
game against one defeat for the
St. Louis Cards, beating the
Boston Braves 7 to 1.
The Brooklyn Dodgers put
across nine runs in the seventh
to defeat Pittsburgh, 12 to 7,
ending their five game losing
streak.
The Giants also came from
behind, beating Claude Passeau
of the Cubs with a four t;un
rally in the eighth, S to 3.
Cincinnati at Philadelphia
was rained out.

The long ring career of
Heavyweight Fighter Lem
Franklin, Chicago negro, prob
ably was at an end today from
knockout punch that left him
unconscious nearly an hour and
paralyzed his right arm and leg.
Franklin was winner on
points in his bout with Larry
Lane, Trenton, N. J., negro, last
night when Lane delivered a
stiff left hook to the chin in the
ninth round. Franklin buckled
and fell heavily on the back of
his head.
When Referee Gene Romalne
was unable to revive him, ring
side officials called physicians
who gave a preliminary diagno
sis of a concussion. He was
taken to City hospital and recov
ered consciousness but was un
able to move his body.
Dr. Herbert Conner, his at
tending physician, said brain
and x-rny specialists were called
and that the injury was more
serious than had first been be
lieved.
"He has a brain Injury re
sulting from the concussion
which has paralyzed the right
arm and right leg. He will pull
through all right but he prob
ably won't fight any more,"
Conner said.
Franklin, once a contender
for the heavyweight title of Joe
Louis,, has met most of the top
fighters in his class including
Lee Savold, Ben Simon and
Bob Pastor.
BEVOS, SEATTLE
By United. Press
The Los Angers Angels, vic
tors in 17 of theuvlast 23 games
to again hit the top of the
Pacific Coast league standings,
defend their two-game margin
over San Francisco tonight when
they open the week's premier
series at Seals stadium.
A good many league baseball
enthusiasts will also keep a close
watch on the Sacramento-San
Diego series at the border city,
however. The Solons, second
only to the Angels in winning
games the past three weeks, are
out of the cellar for the first
time this season and determined
to climb higher at the expense of
the now last-place Padres.
The Oakland Acorns, dropped
to third place by the Solons last
week, will try to recoup at
Hollywood against the Twinks,
while Portland invades Seattle
for another Pacific northwest
"grudge series."

Schissler, Joe Brown Will

United Press Staff Correspondent
Los Angeles, July 25 'U.R1 Shuffling the sports deck: MaJ.
Paul Schissler, March Field football coach, and Joe E. Brown,
headman of the All-Pacific Recreation Fund, Inc., are negotiat
ing a deal whereby the sports equipment will keep flowing to
the Pacific war theater for a time at least.
MaJ. Schissler has offered i
Brown an opportunity to have
his organization realize a part
of the profits from the Fourth
Air Force vs. Randolph Field
football game to be staged at
the coliseum, Los Angeles, Sun
day, Dec. 10. Schissler is coach
of the 4th Air Force again this
yar.
Only two teams in the newly-
organized American profession
al football league still have to
acquire coaches. George Zahar
las, of the San Diego team, and
Ken Wahl, of the San Francisco
club ,are expected to announce
their coaches shortly.
Dutch Clark will coach Se
attle; Matty Matthews, Port
land; Marty Brill, Oakland; Dan
Barnhart, Bill Sargent and
Elmer Gus Henderson, the three
Los Angeles elevens.
Now that Commissioner Mur
phy of the horse racing board
has resigned and what with ru
mors that Commissioner Payne
will follow suit and that Com
missioner Cooper will not be
reappointed, sentiment In this
sector seems to be for the re
appointment of Jerry Glesler
who did so much for racing,
when he headed the board pre
viously.
Of course, Jerry Is well-tied
up with the American Pro
league, but he might be amen
able to the additional burden.
Attention has been called to
the fact that the Sacramento
Solons, now out of the cellar
for the first time tills season
started their drive to get out
of the cellar just about the time
they acquired Catcher Jim
Steiner who has been reported
to have quite a steadying effect
upon the Sac hurlers.
But who Is responsible for
the way the Solons, the weakest
hitting team In the league,
blasted 18 runs off Oakland
Sunday, including a shellacking
of no-hit man Manny Salvo?
DUROCHER FINED
$50 FOR RUN-IN
New York, July 25 (U.R
Manager Leo Durocher of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, a frequent
contributor to the National
league treasury, was tapped for
$50 again today by President
Ford Frick, who fined "the lip"
for a run-in with Umpire Bill
Stewart in Sunday's double head
er. Stewart reported that Duroch
er refused to leave the bench
when he ordered him off.
Durocher reportedly used broad
shouldered Ralph Branca, a
rookie pitcher as a shield, when
he moved onto the field, hoping
that Stewart would not see him.
Stewart then ordered both
Branca and Durocher out of the
game.

United" Press War Correspondent
Normandy, July 25 (U.R) An
all-American crew is operating
a multi-nation railroad with a
right-of-way winding through
bomb craters and wrecked towns
where only a few days ago the
battle of France raged.
It Is the first captured railway
in western Europe to be put back
in service.
Four passenger trains run on
schedule daily. You can't always
be sure where the eastern end of
the line will be, because it
changes daily as the battle scene
moves forward.
Homelike Whistle
Corp. Kenneth Kieffer of Wil
lard, O., who used to be a fire
man for the Baltimore & Ohio,
gave the line, a touch of "home"
by making a shrill engine whistle
that sounds thoroughly Ameri
can. It is a multi-nation railway be
cause it is run by American sol
diers over French soil which only
recently was held by the Nazis.
The freight cars are French,
Italian, Belgian and German.
Only four or five serviceable
passenger cars have been found.
Lt. Col. Ralph O. Jensen of
Maywood, 111., said that his men
were able to put the line into
operation because they were
American railroaders from dis
patchers to machinists before
going into the service. Jensen is
commander of the transportation
corps operating the line and a
veteran railroader.
The train we rode had ,only
two passenger cars and a baggage
car. Many of the windows were
broken. But it was equal to many
