Any One Of 5 Clubs Con Win Unless
Yank Pitching Improves—Richards
NEW YORK, Aug. 21 (IP—Man-
ager Paul Richards of the Chicago
White Sox warned Thursday that
"any one of five clubs" may beat
out the New York Yankees for the
American League pennant unless
the Yanks improve tbeir pitching
in a hurry.
Did the tall, rangy, sharp-fea-
tured pilot figure that his White
Sox still had a flag-chance, al-
though they are now battling with
the Philadelphia Athletics for fifth
place in the standing?
"I certainly do," said the former
Giant and Tiger catcher. "If we
could only generate some power,
we'd be right up there now. Our
hitting has been unexpectedly poor
this season, but 1 still hope to do
something about it."
And who were the other formid-
able contenders?
The man in the gray road
uniform with "22" on the back
answered quickly, "you can go
right down the list—Cleveland,
VOTE FOR
J. C. (Shorty) Stroman
For Commissioner Precinct 1
Able, dependable, and fully qualified to serve as one
of your county commissioners.
If elected he will serve <he people in a fair and im-
partial manner.
Your vote and influence will be appreciated..
(Paid Pol. Adv.)
Boston, Washington and Phila-
delphia. Each of those clubs is
tough.
As a matter ot tact, we've found
the Athletics recently the toughest
outfit we've faced. They're a very
dangerous outfit."
If Paul and his pale hose can
generate power and make a late-
season pennant bid, they will be
reversing the process of last year
when they made an early bid but
sluffed off in the stretch and fin-
ished fourth.
On June 7 last season, the amaz-
ing White Sox were in first place,
five full games ahead of the Yan-
kees. They fought for the lead un-
til July 20, after which they began
to descend. A year ago Thursday
they were in fourth place. 10 1-2
games behind the leading Indians.
Standing beside the batting cage
at Yankee Stadium Thursday,
Richards stressed the fact that
Chicago's hitting had not support-
ed its pitching this season—his
second at the helm.
"We haven't been getting the
runs," he said. "We've left
926 men on bsse. At least that
was the figure before Wednes-
day's game, and I believe it's
the most in the league tills sea-
son.
"And we've lost 21 g;> -cs by ore
run. Our hitting has n. !*r.~n cT-
fective."
Paul hopes the return of C-iico
Carrasquel to the shortstop pist
will add some pep to his outfit.
Chico has been out more than six
weeks with a broken finger on his
right hand. He returned to the line-
up Tuesday night for the first of
three games with the Yanks.
Last season Senor Carrasquel of
Venezuela sparked the Chisox and
earned general recognition as a
shortstop who ranked second only
to scooter Rizzuto of the Yanks.
Writers with the Chicago club
say outfielder Sam Mele has been
the only consistent hitter for Rich-
ards this season. His figure is
about .266 and he has driven in 56
runs. Although first-sacker Ed
Robinson has about .300 and 80
RBIs, he has been in a slump re-
cently. Likewise outfielder Minnie
Minoso has been going hot and
cold. Second baseman Nellie Fox
is showing signs of snapping out
of his terrific slump.
"If we can only get some effec-
tive hitting, we'll still give any-
body a good fight," Richards con-
cluaeu.

Charley Coe
In Top Form
By HAL WOOD
SEATTLE, Aug. 21 UPl—Former
champion Charley Coe, Canadian
champ Walter McElroy and Gene
Littler, a non-title winner who has
been on the verge of great things
in the golfing world for several
years, were in the favored roles
Thursday as the 1952 U. S. Na-
tional Amateur golf tournament
rolled down to the final stages.
There were 16 men left in the
competition as play got under way
Thursday morning, but when night
falls only four will be in the run-
ning for the world's most coveted
Simon-pure crown.
Coe, who won the title in 1949, is
playing his best golf from tee to
green in years. Wednesday he was
two over par for 32 holes in dis-
posing of W. B. Hyde, Olympia.
Wash.. 4 and 3, and John Levin-
son, Niles, 111., 2 and 1.
Meanwhile, such well-known
names as Frank Stranahan and
Harvie Ward, the latter the British
amateur champ, sat on the side-
lines after taking thumpings in the
fifth round Wednesday.
Coe met Jimmy McHale, the for-
mer Walker Cupper, in the round
of 16 Thursday. McHale came
through with flying colors in turn-
ing back Reynaldo Avila, Mexico
City, 3-2. and Claude H. Ileed, Den-
ton. Tex., 1-up.
Marion iSonnyi Iliskey, the Twin
Falls, Ida., star, followed by a
group of fans from his home town,
won two matches the hard way. He
whipped Jim Blair of Oakland
Park. Kans., and Dr. George Train-
or. each on the 19th hole. He meets
McElroy in the next set-to. The
Canadian king has advanced with
a 1-up triumph over Dale Morey of
Dallas, and 2 and 1 over Dan Sil-
vestri, .San Francisco city champ.
Littler was sensational in elim-
inating Ward by a 4 and 2 count
with a gallery numbering more
than 1.000 following them.
