Olympic Games.

To Open

Today.

Crowd of 80,000 Expected To
Witness Opening-Day Cereniomies
LONDON, July 28-(AP)-The mightiest sports carnival in his-
tory will open here tomorrow in colorful ceremonies bringing 5,000
athletes from 59 nations together in Olympic rivalry.
Ten minutes of pageantry is all there is of the opening program.
The only running will be done by men bearing the symbolic flame on
its last lap from Greece.
However, a crowd of 80,000 spectators is expected for the show.
A cheering weather forecast of "warm and sunny" touched off

a last minute rush of ticket buy-
ing today as staid old London_
yielded at last to the Olympic
fever.
Crowds stayed awake to cheer
the Olympic torch on its way
toward London. The torch landed
this evening at Dover after pass-
ing through seven countries.
If the timing is right it will be
borne into the stadium at precise-
ly 4:07 p.m. (9:07 a.m., CST) by a
runner whose identity was still
hidden tonight.
His arrival will climax those
ten minutes of ceremony into
which will be packed all the
colorfiul symbolism of the games
-preserved through centuries
and staged by the world's ac-
knowledged masters of pagean-
try, the British.
King George VI will start the
show at 4 p.m.! (9 a.m. C.S.T.)
"I proclaim open the Olympic
Games of 1948 celebrating the
14th Olympiad of the modern
era," he will say. Then 5,000
bright clad athletes from all over
the world will file past him in the
traditional Olympic parade.
Just before the torch bearer
races in and circles the bright red
running track, 7,000 pigeons will
be loosed into the air as symbols
of peace, and a 21-gun salute will
be fired.
The ceremonies ended, the
athletes will return to their

Sore Back
Ails Feller
CLEVELAND, July 28 - (P) -A
bonesetter today said a hardened
muscle was the .answer to why
Bobby Feller hasn't been able to
flash his customary form for the
Cleveland Indians this year.
A. L. Austin, whom Feller credits
with first helping him back in
1937, when he faltered at the be-
ginning of his career, also warned
that the hurler might be through
unless the trouble is corrected.
Troubled by Hardened Muscle
He said a muscle in the right
hander's right shoulder -had hard-
ened, probably as the result of
over exertion.
"It's like a rubber band that
has been stretched too far and too
much," said Austin, who is li-
censed as a limited practitioner in
mechano therapy.
3 or 4 Treatments Necessary
"My fingers are sensitive and I
know how to get down and work
on the muscle," he declared.
"Three or four treatments should
put it back in shape again."
Feller, whose record of 20 vic-
tories and 11 losses last year con-
trasts with 10 wins and 12 defeats
this season, first consulted Austin
in 1937 when the pitcher was just
18.
Doctors Failed
A number of physicians and
"arm experts" then had failed to
solve the mystery of why he wasn't
throwing the same assortment of
baffling pitches for the Indians
that year that he did the season
before..
"There is not the slightest doubt
that Austin helped me," Feller
said. "Before I went to him my
elbow hurt every time I threw the
ball.
"He popped something and
within 24 hours I was as good as
ever."
Visit Routine
Feller denied today that his lat-
est visit was anything more than
routine and said there was noth-
ing wrong with his arm.
"I've been going to Austin in-
termittently for years," he ex-
plained. "I went to him in 1946
when I was going good. I just
wanted a checkup, the same as I
did Monday."

Trout Hurls Six-Hitter;
Evers, Vico Lead Attack
DETROIT, July 28-(IP)-The Detroit Tigers put a violent end
today to the 13-game winning streak of the Boston Red Sox, shelling
three pitchers for 18 hits to submerge the American League leaders 13
to 0.
Paul (Dizzy) Trout stifled the Sox with six scattered singles-
three of them by Dominic DiMaggio-as the Tigers pounded the
Bostons to their worst lacing of the year.
The loss was the first for Joe McCarthy's gang since Detroit
won a 3 to 1 decision in Boston July 17.
But even in defeat the Red Sox clung to first place by a narrow
margin of four percentage points over the Philadelphia Athletics,,
who climbed back into second by.

Trout, collaring the Bosox with
their fifth shutout loss of the
season, permitted only one runner
to go as far as third base and two
fanned four and walked three as
he levelled his season record at
10 wins and 10 setbacks.

camps to await the opening of
competition on Friday morning.
America's powerful contingent
of men and women stars gathered
at Uxbridge tonight to rehearse
their part in the parade and to
decide in what order the various
teams will march.
A final survey of the several
American training camps failed to
turn up a single injury or illness
of any importance. Uncle Sam's
athletes have reached a peak of
form and condition after a week's
intensive traiping under a hot sun,
and they will have no alibis.
Ted Williams
Still Out of
BostonLineup
DETROIT, July 28 - (,P) -
Thumpin' Ted Williams, king pin
of the Boston Red Sox batting as-
sault, was out of the lineup with a
lame knee today as the American
League leaders bowed to the De-
troit Tigers 13 to 0 after taking
13 straight games.
Hit on Knee Sunday
Williams worked out in the out-
field before the game but limped
perceptibly from effects of a blow
on the inside of his right knee last
Sunday, when he was hit by one
of Steve Gromek's pitches in the
Cleveland series.
"It isn't exactly a bruise -
seems to be more in the bone than
on a muscle," Williams said as he
hobbled in from fielding practice.
"It's painful; hurts me every
time I walk, and I don't know
how long it might keep me out of
the lineup."
May Play Thursday
Trainer Ed Froelich of the Red
Sox also wouldn't guess when
Williams, currently batting .391,
might return to action. He had
hoped he might play in Thursday
night's game here but it appears
doubtful.
Williams was sidelined 18 days
by a pulled cartilege in his side
and got back in the Boston lineup
only last Friday from that layoff.
Sunday Gromek nailed him and
he went out again.

Detroit, meanwhile, got away
to a 3-0 first inning lead off
Denny' Galehouse and scored
five more runs in the second,
two of them on second base-
man Eddie Cake's second homer
of the season.
After Galehouse took his de-
parture, charged with his fifth
loss of the year, Detroit continued
the rampage at the expense of
Dave (Boo) Ferriss and Rookie
Charley Stobbs.
Tiger center fielder Hoot Evers
drove in three runs with three
singles and a double amd George
Vico had three singles.
Lake and Vic Wertz also reached
first safely four times as the
Tigers staged a veritable merry-
go-round on the bases.
Lake led off the opening in-
ning with a walk and after Vico
flied out Eddie scampered to
third on George Kell's single to
left. Lake scored when Gale-
house fumbled Wertz's tap back
to the mound and two more
runners crossed the plate on
Evers' double into the left field
corner.
Pat Mullin and Johnny Lipon
lifted successive flies to, end the
first inning but the Tigers teed
off again in the second, sending
10 men to bat and scoring five
times.
Trout and Wertz both fumbled,
Lake smashed his homer and Vico,
Evers and Mullin chipped in with
singles in the big frame, fashioned
at the expense of Galehouse and
Ferriss.
Four singles and a hit batsman
(Mullin) produced a three-run
cluster in the sixth to chase Fer-
riss, who complained of a twisted
right ankle. Two passes and two
singles were worth two more
tallies off Stobbs in the seventh.

Boost Cuyler
To Replace
Steve O'Neill
SAGINAW, Mich., July 28-(P)
-Petitions urging appointment of
Hazen (Kiki) Cuyler as manager'
of the Detroit Tigers in place of
Steve O'Neill will begin circulating'
in three cities Friday.
George Killmaster, Chesaning
High School athletic director, said
he would start the petitions here,
in Chesaning and in Flint.
Native of Harrisville
Killmaster is a native of Harris-
ville, Mich., home town of Cuyler.
The man he backs for Tiger
manager was a star major league
outfielder for Pittsburgh, the Chi-
cago Cubs and Cincinnati over a
13-year span. He is now managing
Atlanta in the Southern Associa-
tion.
Killmaster said he assumed
O'Neill's contract will not be re-
aewed in 1949.
No Change Says Evans
In Detroit General Manager
BROOKCYN, July 28-(A)-
The Brooklyn Dodgers, in a
clubhouse meeting, today voted
to recommend a salary and sus-
pension penalty for selected
players who do not participate
in the annual All-Star game.
The meeting was an out-
growth of the non-appearance
of several stars at the classic
in St. Louis recently after they
had been chosen.
The Brooklyn players agreed1
that the penalty should be a
two weeks loss of salary plus a
two weeks suspension.
Billy Evans of the Tigers said the
club "has given no thought to
making a managerial change next
season."
"There isn't a word of truth
to rumors that Cuyler has been
offered Steve O'Neill's job," Evans
said.
Except for a single instance,
the Tigers have adhered to a
policy of handling their manag-
erial affairs between seasons.
The only recent exception was
the shift that sent Del Baker into
Mickey Cochrane's post in the
middle of the 1938 campaign.

CHICAGO, July 28 - Marmno
Pierretti turned in a six hitter
against his former Washington
Senator teammates before 3,168
persons today to lead the Chicago
White Sox to a 2-1 triumph.
It was the tiny righthander's
sixth victory against three losses
since coming to Chicago in ex-
change for pitcher Earl Harrist.
* * *
NEW YORK, July 28 - The
New York Giants tied the St.
Louis Cardinals for third place
in the National League Pennant
race today as Clint Hartung
pitched the Giants to a 5-4 vic-
tory over the Cincinnati Reds
while the Cards were trounced
by Brooklyn.
Hartung pitched one of the
best games of his career, limit-
ing the Reds to three singles.
After Frankie Baumholtz singled
in the first and 'Hank Sauer in
the second, Hartung held the
Reds hitless until Grady Hatton
whacked a one-bagger to right
in the eighth.

PHILADELPHIA, July 28-The
Philadelphia Phillies cut loose
with a barrage of extra base hits,
including three home runs, as
they defeated the Chicago Cubs
9-4 today.
In chalking up their first victory
under Manager Eddie Sawyer, the
Phils broke a 4-4 tie in the eighth
inning with a five-run attack. Two

of the runs crossed the plate on
Richie Ashburn's triple and three
on Del Ennis' 16th homer of the
season.
* * *
CLEVELAND, July 28- The
Philadelphia Athletics gained
an even break in their two-game
series with the Cleveland In-
dians today by pushing two un-
earned runs across in the eighth
inning to beat Bob Lemon 4 to 3.
The Tribe pounded tall Dick
Fowler's right-hand offerings
for 10 safeties, including Allie
Clark's fourth homer of the sea-
son, which came after Lemon
doubled in the third.
But a misjudgement by cen-
terfield Larry Doby on Don
White's fly in the eighth cost
two runs and enabled Fowler to
chalk up his 10th victory against
two defeats.
BROOKLYN, July 28 - The
Brooklyn Dodgers today routed
the St. Louis Cardinals 12-4, to
solidify their grip on second place
in the National League. The
Cards dropped into a third place
tie with New York.
Every Dodger regular hit safely
as the Brooks assaulted four Car-
dinal pitchers for 15 hits includ-
ing Tommy Brown's sec ondq
homer of the season.
Brooklyn sewed up the game in
the fifth, scoring eight times after
two were out against Ted Wilks
and Red Munger.

DIZZY TROUT
..blanks Sox
games, was the worst of the
year for the Red Sox on several
counts.
Detroit's 18 hits, including three
double sand a home run, were the
most off Boston pitching this year,
exceeding the 16 blows collected
on one occasion by the Browns.
The worst previous ,defeat for the
McCarthymen was a 13 to 4 loss
to Cleveland.
The same clubs close out their
three-game series here tomorrow
