To Beat Red Sox
After Long Slump
Crosetti And Chandler
Blamed For Defeat
Of Runners-Up
NEW YORK, July 4 —(UP>—
A baseball tradition is that ihe
team ihat leads the league on
July 4 will play in the world
series in September. The New
York Yankees—no matter whnt
happens in their doubleheader
with the ever-pressing Boston
Red Sox today, will lead the
American League at sundown
and their thanks should go to
a pair of almost-forgotten men
—Frankie Crosetti and Spad
Chandler.
The Yanks were in dire trou-
ble yesterday when they pull-
ed into Boston for a three-game
set. Manager .Toe Cronin had
hustled his team to within
three games of the pace-setting
champions and a clean sweep
would have meant a tie for the
lead. But excitable, bird-voiced
Crosetti and easy-going Chandl-
er combined to defeat the Red
Sox. 5-3, and increase the Yank?'
first-place margin to four Ba-
rnes.
'Frisco Frankie hummer-
t'd out two hits ami drove
in two. all-important runs.
Chandler registered his nin-
th victory and limited the
Red Sox to eight hits. He
fanned siv and walked three.
Boston collected five hits in
the first three innings but
Chandler allowed only three
hits thereafter. In the last
live frames, only one Red
Sox runner reached first.
Young Carl Newhouser. De-
tiroitVs mound contribution to
'he all-star game, hurled the
Tigers a three-hit 5-1, triumph
over the Cleveland Indians last
night.
Walt Masterson let the A's
down with 5 hits and pitched
Washington a 5-0 triumph over
Philadelphia in another night
game.
Brooklyn added ;i full
game to its National lea-
gue lead by beating \ the
PhiLs, 8-t, while the Pitts-
burgh Pirates kayoed the
runner-up St. Louis Cardin-
als, 5-4.

Wrapping up a few loose
threads:
BRITISH PIjANUS flying ovj'r Altoukir Air Base, near Alexandria, Egypt. Because they
think British forces merely act as magnets for Axis bombs, many natives of much-bombed
Alexandria are anti-British. Egypt's Fifth Col umii is it graver danger to British-Egyptian
interests in the Middle East, official quarters ;«lmit. And with the advance of Marshal
Rommel's forces deep into Egypt, the menace is intensified. Nahas Pasha, Egyptian Prime
Minister, was alive to this rearguard threat, and has takien an active part in checking subver-
sive elements. But how active a part he can take, is debatable. Egypt and the whole Middle
East are so riddled with active and passive A xis sympathizers that little more than routing
gestures can be made. Six months ago Nahas Pasha did close the Vichy legation and order
the French Minister back to France. With British collaboration, he also closed the embas-
sies of the Balkan nations at war with Britain, a nd chased out of Egypt the small army of Hun-
garian and Italian girl entertainers who danc ed in the niglit clubs of the important naval
port of Alexandria. There are many Italians in Egypt,

manded he be ejected.
'Pittsburgh pummeled Howie
Krist for the winning runs in
the eighth. A walk to Elbie
Fletcher, singles by Bob Elliott
and Jim* Wasdell and a double
by Vince DiMaggio accounted
for the runs. Fletcher and Di-
Maggio homered for the Pira-
tes.
The New York Giants out-
slugged the Boston Braves to
win a free-hitting contest, 10-f;.
Mel Ott hit his 12th homer with
one on and Johnny Mize follow-
ed suit with No. 13, both in the
first inning. Nick Witek hom-
ered for the Giants in the 4th.

WASHINGTON. July 4 —
(UP)—Director R. R. Sayers of
the Bureau of Mines has reveal-
ed that additional millions of
cubic feet of helium will flow

tion program.
The new plant at -an unan-
nounced location will be sup-

BOX I NO—Mike Jacobs — re-
member him?—haft finally decid-
ed to solve his personal unem-
ployment problem by arranging
a mild reconnaissance in lower
weight divisions. The Twentieth
Century club head has scheduled
four major promotions for late
in the month and only one in-
volves heavyweights. The other
three will feature lightweights,
welterweights and even feather-
weights, who have been out of
style since Henry Armstrong ab-
dicated the title several years
ago: The long embroglio between

TENNIS—Today Don Budge
will file a bid for added tennis

table match of matter and mind.
