Major League Round-UUp
DETROIT, June 24-(i._-After
five straight losses, the Detroit
Tigers got a break today-from
the weather.
Rain fell on Briggs Stadiurn and
forced postponemncnt of a sched-
uled game with the Washington
Senators.
The rest was a welcome one to
' the hard-pressed Detroit team
that had just lost a series to the
weak-hitting Senators and now
faced the tough New York Yank-
ees for three days.
Manager Steve O'eill was ex-
pected to throw either his ace
Harold Newhouser or right hander
Virgil Trucks against the Yanks
in the first of the games Friday.
Newhouser, after a seven-game
winning streak, was beaten his
last time out by the Boston Red
Sox.

The Giants won the first game,
3-2, scoring all of their runs in

The second game was called af-
ter the top of the eighth inning
because of darkness.
Robinson won the first game
when he homered with the bas-
es l'oaded and two were out in
the ninth inning. In the sec-
ond, Robinson pounded out two
doubles and two singles in as
many trips to the plate and
drove in two runs and scarred
three.
Rookie Bob Chesnes had a
-0\ shutout going into the
eighh inning of the opener.
In the nightcap, Rex Barney
held the Pirates hitless for six
innings but the Pirates drove
him from the mound in the
seventh.

CLEAVEI)D. June 24-GP) Vie
Raschi shut out the Cleveland
Indians, 4-0 today with home runs
by George McQuinn, Johnny Lini-
dell and Joe DiMaggio accounting
for all of the New York Yankee
runs.
Rasehi allowed the Indiansr six
Iti;s in gaining his ninth straight
victory of the season. He has lost
only once.
The triumph sliced the first
place margin of the Indians to a
game-and-a-half over the run-
ner-up Yankees.
Bob Feller went the route for
the indians and was charged with
his eighth setback. Feller yielded
only five safeties, fonned eight
and walked two.
The victory enabled the Yanks
to take the four game series from
the Indians, three games to one.

The bout was originally set for
last night.
The ,weather forecast for to-
morrow is for "late afternoon or
evening thundershowers." The
20th Century Sporting Club, pro-
moters of the bout, have the use
of the Stadium through Monday
night.
Both fighters had arrived at
the ball park.
Louis came about 5 p.m. and
waited in an automobile outside
the Stadium.
"11ow they gonna have a
fight," he asked as he watched
the storm'
Walcott and his party arrived
shortly before 6 p.m. and went
immediately to the dressing rooms'
Only about 1,000 person were in
seats in the uncovered areas of
the Stadium. Another 10,000 were
huddled in the covered stands.
The streets outside the park
were jammed with thoroughly
soaked persons.
Some 10,400l unreserved seats
had gone on sale at 4 o'clock. A
crowd of 55,000 was expected.
Louis had come to the stadium
direct from his Pompton Lakes,
N.J., training quarters. He had
returned there yesterday when the
first postponement was an-
nounced shortly after noon.
Walcott had remained in New
York.
New York boxing rules require
another weigh-in tomorrow be-
cause of the 48-hour postpone-
ment from the original date,
However, if both managers
agree, the weigh-in can be
passed up with, approval of the
boxing commission.
Louis scaled 213 I pounds,
heaviest of his career, when the
two men weighed yesterday. Wal-
cott checked in at 194 %.
The champion took the second
delay in stride.
"I don't think it will bother
me any more than it does him,"
he declared. "It's fair for both
of us."
Louis said he would return im-
mediately to his New Jersey camp.
IHe plans a light workout tomor-
row morning before returning to
the city.
He wore a raincoat and straw
hat as he pushed gently through
the crowd surrounding him out-
side the Stadium.
Only twice before has the
champion had a figiht post-
poned. His first bout with Max
Schmneling was delayed and Joe
was knocked out in the 12th
round. Neither man held the
title at the time. uist first fight
after hecoming champion, with
Tommy Far', was set back four
days. Farr went the route with
Louis.
Walcott said he planned to re-
main in New York City.
Felix Bocchicchio, his sponsor,
said he didn't think the challenger
would be affected by the delay,

llighligishts of Dewey Witi;
Convention Clamor, Drama
C( N VENTION TI Al Philadel-
I hia, June 24-(/P)----They called
off both fights tonight.
In New York, rain washed out
the heavyweight fight, between Joe
Louis and Jersey Joe Walcott.
Hvere inPhiladelphia. a cloud-
burst hit this town just as the
night session of the national Re-
publican convention started.
At the same time a Dewey tor-
rent, steadily gathering momnen-
turn all day, really carne down to
drown the chances of all other
candidates.
* * *
The dramatic highlight of this
dzraatic night came when Harold
~J Stassen strode forward. He has
been a favorite w iththe gallery
lere, so the cheering was tremen-
dons.
"With your permission," said
the bulky, one-time governor of
Minnesota, "I would like to see-
ojid the nomination that the
Ilonorable Thomas E. Dewey b
the unanimous choice of this
convention."
Cries of "No, No!" from the
spectators stopped him here. Dur-
ing the outburst Stassen licked his
lips, waited for the noise to sub-
side. When it faded, he finished
the sentence, "for the presidency
of the United States."
As Stassen said those words,
"President of the United
States," the job for which he
had worked so long, no one knew
what was in his mind. But he
smiled and waved as he left the
platform.
Because the rules demanded
it, the roll was called. And as the
delegation from California was be-
ing polled, outside a brilliant
double rainbow came out after the
storm.
The n iglht session was a decided
contrast to the one held in the af-
ternoon. Then the men who are
supposed to pull strings bustled
busily around string pulling.
Senator Joe McCarthy of Wis-
consin, so wet with perspiration
that his shirt sticks to his back,
shoves his way through the crowd.
He's a handy man at using his el-
bows.
Up on the stage Harold Stas-
sen sits with his wife and his
scorecard. Keeping track of the
votes, pausing now and then for
a, brief check with one of his
lieutenants.
it's excessively hot, steaming
hot. Even the flags seem to droop
in the humid heat.
Yet in spite of atrocious working
conditions, the worrying, the scur-
rying, the conferences go on.
* * *
So far as could be seen from
the press table, only one person in
this hall of 14,000 viewed the pro-
ceedings casually.
And that exception, surprisingly,
was a presidential candidate.
Chairman Joe Martin of Mas-
sachusetts, presiding over his third
national Republican convention,
was completely tuckered out. He
lost sleep during the all-night ses-
sions in the House last week. He
lost sleep when he got here. He
lost more sleep when the conven-
tion didn't go home until 2:02
a.m., CST, this morning.
So Martin sat in his chair, and
nodded.
