Augie;) Yanks Nurse Eight Game ill Johnson, Rookie Third ' Baseman, Responsible for New Yorkers' Hear Wave By JUDSON BAILEY Associated Press Sports Writer The New York Yankees are not the old-time bombers but they're up to their, old-time tricks trying to break the back of the American league in the middle of the season. When they swing back into ac tion tomorrow after the usual two-day layoff that precedes in tersectional series in the major leagues this year they will be nursing an eight-game winning streak, the longest of the topsy turvy campaign. They now have won 12 of their last 13 games and this has been sufficient to stand off the ambitious Washington Senators, who have won five of their last six games and still lost ground. Aside from the very creditable pitching, the biggest factor in the Yankees' mid-summer heat wave has been the slugging of Rookie Bill Johnson. The young third baseman hit a three-run homer and four singles Sunday to climb right into the middle of contention for the runs batted in- laurels in the American league. Nick Etten, in the best first base tradition of the Yankees, has been at or near the top in run production all along and now is leading with 58. By bat ting in four Sunday, Johnson bounced into second place with 57 and may be the first rookie to drive in over 100 runs since Ted Williams broke in with 145 in 1939. . Yesterday was an off-day in the major leagues, but in an ex hibition game at Cooperstown. N. Y., the cradle of baseball, the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the Chicago White Sox, 7 to 5. NEW YORK, July 20 (IP) Senor Don Forrest Cox better known a Frosty Cox, Colorado U. basketball , coach recently received this letter, written "with some intrepidation" by Jaime Murucl, a recreational di rector in Barcelona, Spain: . . . "I should be very happy if you could find time to send me any magazine, periodical, or rule book -which, in your esteemed judgment, might help me in my work of attempting to popularize basketball, of which I am a fer vent admirer; thus I should be able' to develop my technical ability as a recreational director and to increase the number of volumes dealing with my favorite sport which I possess in my private library." . . . This proves only that Don Jaime's ideas of sports are better than his com mand of English, but i( he'd lis ten when the wind is right, hed likely hear some doughboys in Sicily arguing about basketball . . . or Phog Allen sounding off on the same subject from Kansas. .

The ump prudently backoned a cop to take the kid out of the park still shouting "robber," and "Nellie"- spent the rest of the game, chasing four balls that came over the - fence. . . - TODAY'S QUEST STAR John Mooney, Salt Lake Tele gram: "President Branch Rickey of the Dodgers doesn't believe in playing baseball on Sunday, but from the way his bums are floundering, it appears the flat bush flock is going Branch one better and doesn't believe in play ing baseball any day of the week."

Joe Louis Lacks Punch in Golf But Draws Prize Gallery Crowd At First Round in Tarn O'Shanter By CHARLES DUNKLEY CHICAGO, July 20 P Sgt. Joe Louis of the United States arjny does not pack the dynamite at golf that he does in the prize ring, but he's the world cham pion at drawing the galleries. Louis, playing his first major golf in the opening round of the Tarn O'Shanter Ail-American amateur tournament yesterday, carried all of the spectators with him when he teed off in a three some with two of his white brethren. The champion was at tired in a pair of khaki pants, white undershirt, and a dilapi dated straw hat. the brim of which flopped with every step Louis took. Whether it was the crowd or just an off day, Louis carded a 44-43 87. The Brown Bomber, ran into immediate trouble to the surprise of a crowd of 300 that trailed him. getting a seven on the par-four first hole, and a five on the par-three third. This upset him, but he managed to finish playing no worse than many of the touted amateurs, in cluding favored Wilford Wehrle. of Racine, Wis., who had trouble finding the course' par level. Only one in the 262-man field managed to play par golf. ' He was Richard McCreary Jr., of Indianapolis, the Hoosier state champion in 1937. The margin of McCreary's advantage was as small as possible, for only one stroke behind him, ' tied at 73 were three youthful challengers all from the same nearby Wauke gan, 111., golf club, and another from St. Louis. Bob Cochran, St. Louis district open champion and one of the ablest amateur swingers in the country. ' The others just a stroke off the par pace were Frank Perpich, Frank Kovach, and William chambers. White Sox Outfielder Leads American Batting Averages NEW YORK, July 20 (P) The merry-go-round for the batting leadership In the American league hasn't broken down. Guy Curtright, the rookie out fielder of the Chicago White Sox who grabbed the brass ring away from Vern Stephens of the St. Louis Browns a few weeks ago and then gave it back to him last week, has regained the league lead with a .333 mark. Ste phens' average slipped nine points and dropped him back to second place. In the National league Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals succeeded in stabilizing the bat ting problem by increasing his pace seven points to .338 and continuing in first place with Billy Herman of the Brooklyn Dodgers also boosting his mark four points to .332 and remaining in second. Babe Dahlgren of the Phillies, who was the front-running star of the senior circuit for many weeks, still was bogged in a bat ting slump and dropped to fourth with .317, thirteen points behind 51- opponents during his pro career and 29 of the KO's have been In three rounds or less or about as long as the AEF needs to KO Sicily . . . When Shortstop Eddie , Mart- of the 170th Infantry team at Fort Sill, Okla., tried to twist out of the way of a fast pitch the other night, the ball struck his hip poc ket .. . "Ouch," shouted Eddie, "they bit me." , . . And sure enough it was his own crockery molars, parked there for safety's sake, that put the bite on him. When in Medford .

Paul Waner Best Golfer Among Bums COOPERSTOWN, N. Y., July 20 (P) There isn't any question about who is the best golfer among the Brooklyn Dodgers. He is Paul Waner and. he could whip the others with one hand tied behind his back if lt were his right hand. Waner equipped himself with the only two lefthanded clubs to be found in Cooperstown yester day, a No. 9 iron and a putter, and proceeded to shoot a 47 for nine holes, low score among a group of five who were whiling away the time before an exhibi tion baseball game between the Dodgers and Chicago White Sox.

Saturday tho pair would run in the Harvard stadium and Ilaegg'i countrymen were as proud as a kid with a new drum. "We'll have the belt runners In the world after the war Is over," -one of the Swedes said with assurance as he revealed a e why his countrymen have come to the fore In distance racing. "Guilder, like every Swede over 18 years old, has been. In the army 18 months," the spokesman said, "and do you know the rcquiremonta for every soldier? Why, he has to run five miles each and every day of those 18 months," " The conversation was Inter rupted as the plane glided into port and In momont bedlam broke loose as the photograph ers blazed away and the report ers started firing questions. 'In many ways the racing kings are much alike for each continued the caution they have shown right along about pre dictions of breaking records or who would beat who or any thing of that sort. Haegg was emphatic, how ever, when he said that he liked America and Americans very much and he considers Gilbert Dodds Just about "tops." Swedish American relations aren't being dono a bit of harm by this pair, for Dodds showed even more clearly than he could put Into words that his feeling for Gunder Haegg is every bit as deep.
