Bums Skin Teeth Hanging On to Next-to-top Rung Of National Ball Ladder Catches It the Hard Way Ball Firing A Hit in North Africa Resumes on Coast Front err Br TED MEIER Associated Press SporU Writer A last second reprieve, in the form of Augle Galan's ninth In ning single that tied the score followed by Arky Vaughan's grand slam homer with the bases full in the tenth, kept the Brook lyn Dodgers from tumbling into third place in the National league yesterday. ' After walloping the Dodgers three In a row at Forbes field " the Pittsburgh Pirates, thanks to Vince DiMaggio's two homers, led, 6 to S, going into the ninth. With two on and two out all that separated the Pirates from moving into second place was one strike. But with the count on him two and two Galan belted Max Butcher's next pitch for a single to score Dixie Walk er from second base with the tying run. ' This dramatic incident faded into comparative oblivion in the tenth when with three on and two out Vaughan socked a tre mendous drive to deep center for an inside the park homer off Relief Pitcher Bill Brandt and a 10 to 6 Brooklyn triumph. Brooklyn remained 81 games out of first place, however, as the pace-setting St Louis Card inals made it nine in a row by beating the Boston Braves, 6 to 3. In the American league the first place New York Yankees made only three hits off Jake Wade, but beat the . Chicago White Sox anyway, 5 to 2. The victory stretched the Yanks' lead to eight games as the second place Detroit Tigers lost to the Philadelphia Athletics, 2 to 1. Jesse Flores, early season pitching sensation, won his first game since June 15, in beating Detroit for the A's. Stubby Overmire held the Mackmen to five-hits but three of them went for extra bases. Flores. tripled and scored the tying run in the sixth. Doubles by Johnny Welaj and Bobby Estalella ac counted for the winning run in the ninth. Catcher Ray Mueller walloped two homers, good for six runs, as the Cincinnati Reds thumped the Phillies 8 to 2, while the New York Giants ended a seven-game losing streak by beating the Chi cago Cubs, 4 to 3. i . The St. Louis Browns snapped their five-game losing streak by defeating the Boston Red Sox, 7 to 4, behind Bob Muncrief 's three-hit pitching. Cleveland started a new win ning streak by walloping Wash ington, 7 to 3, as Jim Bagby chalked up his 10th win of the campaign. The Indians had won seven in a row before dropping the second game of Sunday's doubleheader to the Senators.

E. SKELLEY V IOWA CITY, la., July 27 UP) Ahmet (Joe) Gokbora, a stocky Turkish lad, has a tremendous appetite and that's one reason Iowa s Slip Madigan has a sur prise candidate for his football squad. When he came to this country, Joe, a native of Istanbul, first made short stops in the east and California. But, he tells friends, he couldn't get enough of the food he wanted, in those sections ' Stocky Joe, it seems, learned the middle west is the bread bas ket of the country. . "So, I came out to the middle of the middle west," the 23-year-old Turk explained. Obviously, Joe is satisfied in Iowa. Once the welterweight (147 - pound) amateur boxing champion of Turkey, he now is up to 185 pounds and one of the major possibilities for a guard position on Madigan's first Hawkeye gridiron team. This is Joe's first attempt at America's popular fall sport, but observers at Madigan s summer practice sessions say the young man from Turkey can t miss. He has perfect coordination, learns quickly and is eager and full of fight. Joe, who is. studying econom ics and political science, came here last fall, but didn't get in terested in football. This sum mer when he heard that Madigan and Iowa needed material he asked the new coach if he could report. "And how!" said Slip.

Corporal William David Conn of the 119th engineers stepped up today with a suggestion that Billy Conn, the fighter, and Joe Louis, the champ, put on their red-hot return brawl for the doughboys at army posts all over the world in exhibitions, of course. This is the punch-party that was on the way to drawing a million dollars last fall before it got an official "thumbs down." And Billy's idea now is that the army send him with Sergeant Joe 'on that planned world tour of army posts so they can give Uncle Sam's sol diers the show wherever they are and for free.
