v Washington Closing in on American League Pennant New York, Aug. 6 U.PJ As if there weren't enough confu sion in Washington already, the chances were bright today for the world series to be there, pro vided of course that the office of defense transportation permits it to be held anywhere. The Senators, climaxing one of the most remarkable perform ances in years, were only a half game out of first place after playing five double headers in as many days and winning all but one of the 10 games. Tigers Drop Two While the Senators were sweeping their double header with the Red Sox, 5 to 4 and 4 to 1, yesterday, the Tigers were dropping a pair to the White Sox at Chicago, 12 to 8 and 3 to 2. The Athletics kept New York from taking advantage of De troit's slip by trouncing the Yan kees twice at Philadelphia, 6 to 3 and 4 to 3: The Indians and Browns divid ed at St. Louis and remained tied for sixth place. Cleveland In their war nothing is expendable Ever since the war started, It seems, practically all the things women send to the cleaners have become irreplaceable. This suit is that lovely, soft, prewar wool. That scarf is the wonderful, prewar satin. The rug is a real Supa-Dupa from vanquished Moolabaloola. And the dress, for goodness sake, is actual, genuine, prewar taffeta! If anything happens to such items, they are like Clemen tine, the Forty-niner's unfortun ate daughter lost and gone forever. Women think no more of them than of something combining their right eye, their ewe lamb and a natural com plexion. And what about men? Each suit sent to the cleaner has be come a masterpiece of the tail or's art. The owner will admit it's as hard to duplicate as a Rubens or a Rembrandt and deserves corresponding respect In such circumstances, it's a compliment to the cleaning and dyeing people that anybody trusts them with anything. It's a supreme compliment that, ac tually, everybody trusts them with everything! That trust the cleaners have honored by overcoming all the war-troubles in the book. In addition, they've handled, in dividually, millions upon mil lions of personal belongings the home-front's No. 1 non expendables with an une qualled record for caution and watchfulness. When you send your clothes to the cleaner, you feel as safe as if you were putting your pants in the bank. As a long time producer of their cleaning solvents, we know why. Care, care, endless care that's why! With so many nice ihings now become precious "wartime heir looms," that's a lucky break for one and all. l word to1 to out Ktehmond (fin try took the opener, 6 to 3, on Jeff Heath's three-run homer. The Browns won the second, 10 to 9, after getting off to an eight-run lead in three innings. Cubs Gain Lead While the American race was tightening, the trend was the other way in the National where the Cubs ran their lead to six full games by winning two at Cincinnati, 12 to 5 and 5 to 1. The presence of Commissioner Albert B. Chandler was no help to the Reds, who were pounded for 22 hits, five by Phil Cavar retta in the first game.. The Pirates and Cardinals di vided at Pittsburgh. St. Louis made 21 hits to win the opener, 12 to 5 Charley Barrett chalking up his 15th win. It was Pitts burgh's turn to hit the ball in the second game, a 10 to 3 triumph for Fritz Ostermueller, pitching his first game since being dis charged from the army. Art Herring pitched a two-hit shutout to give Brooklyn a 7 to 0 victory but Boston countered to win the second game, 10 to 1 with a 16-hit assault on three Dodger pitchers. The Giants won two from the Futility boys from Philadelphia, 14 to 5 and 4 to 2. Y, MAN TIE FOR FIRS! SPOT IN LEAGUE Southern Oregon League W. L.

The Portland Beavers have given indication that they are the strongest club in the league and will retain their swelling advantage to the end; Seattle ap pears definitely to be the second best club. In late weeks, the Sacramento Solons hftve been doing a good job of sewing up third place. That leaves the rest of the clubs to battle for the No. 4 spot in the Governors' Cup playoffs particularly San Francisco and Oakland. Yesterday Portland further strengthened its claim to the top rung by trouncing Hollywood twice, 7-4 and 14-5 to win the series, seven games to one: Se attle whipped San Francisco in two, 17-4 and 6-3 and won the series, 5-3. Sacramento turned the same trick by downing Los Angeles 5-3 and 3-2 for an 8-1 series triumph, and Oakland whipped San Diego in a pair, 4-2 and 8-3 for a 6-3 series edge. Four home runs featured the slugfest at Hollywood as the Beavers kept up their hot pace. Three were clouted by the Beav ers in the second tilt. Roy Younk er got one in the second frame; Frank Shone hit for the circuit with the bases loaded In the third; and Charley English got one in the seventh. Ken Richard son circuited for the losers.
