Feller Garners 17th Win;
Groth's Homer Beats Bosox
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK - The New York
Yankees remained a half game
ahead in the grueling American
League pennant scramble yester-
day, trouncing the last place St.
Louis Browns, 11-3, while the
Cleveland Indians broke their sec-
ond place tie with the Boston Red
Sox.
Bob Feller, with help from Lou
Brissie, pitched the Indians to a
4-2 victory over the Philadelphia
Athletics. The victory was Fel-
ler's 17th, highest in the majors.
The Red Sox dropped a 2-1 deci-
sion to the Detroit Tigers and
dropped into third place, 1 /2
games back of the Yanks. Johnny
Groth won the game for the Tig-
ers with a two-run homer in the
ninth.

games the Cincinnati Reds hum-
bled the league-leading Brooklyn
Dodgers, 7-3, the Pittsburgh Pir-
ates defeated the Philadelphia
Phils, 7-3, and the Chicago Cubs
nipped the Boston Braves, 7-6, in
11 innings.
The Browns and Yanks were
locked in a 1-1 tie until the sixth
inning when the Yanks broke
the game wide open with a six-
run rally. Two runs scored on
delayed throws to the plate, Yogi
Berra knocked home the three
with a bases-loaded double and
another counted with the aid of
an error.
Joe Collins clouted a two-run
homer for the Yanks in the sev-
enth and the Bombers added a
pair in the eighth on a homer by
Berra and Triple steal.

Yanks Advane
To Zone Finals
RYE, N.Y.-()P)-Herbie Flam of
Los Angeles and Vic Seixas of Phi-
ladelphia, a patched-up doubles
team playing together for the
first time, crushed Mexico's Davis
Cup hopes in 49 bristling minutes
yesterday and sent the United
States into the final round of the
American Zone tennis competition.
The youthful American tandem
swept over Mexico's veteran inter-
national brother combination, Ro-
lando and Armando Vega, 6-4, 6-2,
6-0, at the Westchester Country
Club to give the United States a
3-0 lead in the series.

UNCLE SAM'S forces thus qua-
lified to meet the winner of the
semi-final matches between Cana-
da and Cuba, now in progress at
Montreal.
They are favored to carry their
comeback campaign against
Sweden, the European champ-
ion, and then against Australia,
which seized the famous trophy
from our show case last sum-
mer.
The triumph-achieved before a
crowd of 400 in cool, clear weath-
er-made a formality of today's fi-
nal two singles engagements.
Flam will meet Armando Vega
in the opening match at 2 p.m.
(E.S.T.) and Seixas, subbing for
national champion Art Larsen,
will take on Mario Llamas, the
champion of Mexica, in the after-
piece.
Seixas, a tall youngster with a
lot of stroking power, and Flam,
a tiny go-getter, blended perfect-
ly yesterday to outclass a Mexican
tandem that was expected to give
plenty of trouble.

.Cadets Hold Pep' M eeting
NEW YORK-(IP)-A confiden-
tial poll of the big league club own-
ers made by the Associated Press
indicated yesterday there is no
outstanding candidate in the field
for commissioner of baseball.
In fact, strong opposition was
expressed against making a final
choice at the meeting to be held
Tuesday (Aug. 7).
INSTEAD THE sentiment seems
to be to narrow down the list of
candidates to three or four, with
the final ballot coming some weeks
later.
In order to get the right man,
said one owner, baseball is ready
to boost the salary to $75,000
yearly. A. B. Chandler, who was
refused re-election after serving
since 1945, received $65,000.
Several owners mentioned the
possibility of a military man. The
name most widely discussed in
this connection is General Doug-
las MacArthur.
OTHERS TALKED of a business
man. So far no top flight bus-
iness executive has been mentioned
except James A. Farley,
Three big baseball names came
up spontaneously in the discus-
sions-Ford Frick, president of
the National League; George
Trautman, head of the minor
Jeagues; and Warren Giles, pre-
sident of the Cincinnati Reds.
One owner said he wanted to
settle Tuesday on about four can-
didates-one each from the worlds
of baseball, public life, business,
and military affairs.
Said another:
"I am emphatically not in fa-
vor of a politician or a baseball
man. A politician might be in
favor now, and out of favor to-
morrow. A baseball man is sure
to have some petty grievances. I
just want to narrow down the
field, and then take a good look
at each man. We don't want to
make a snap judgment."
To the direct question," have
you a candidate?" Every club own-
er flatly said "No."
WEST POINT, N.Y. - (k) - 1
Tight-lipped officials at West
Point steadfastly refused to give
names in the scandal involving 90
cadets accused of cheating at ex-
aminations, but it appeared that
most of Army's once-mighty foot-
ball team was included.
"No one has been discharged or
dismissed to this moment," said,
the Academy Public Information
Officer.
A GROUP OF discharged ca-
dets held an indignation meeting
around reporters here yesterday,
and one of them, who declined to
give his name, declared: "At least
200 corps cadets did the same
thing."
Another claimed that "over a
hundred" members of the June
graduating class cribbed in ex-
ams and escaped punishment.

SHOWERS SOUR HIM:
Lopez Says Rain Rule
Hurts Baseball, Fans
PHILADELPHIA - P) -- Ball'
games halted by rain in the late
innings should be played to com..
pletion next time the teams in-
volved meet, says Al Lopez, man-
ager of the Cleveland Indians.
The Major League rain rule
automatically gives victory to the
team, in front if the regulation
4% (when home team is leading)
or 5 innings (visitors hold the
edge) has been played.
"IT ISN'T FAIR to the teams
or the fans. Every game should
be played to completion even if it
takes another day to finish the
job," Lopez said.
The Indians' skipper referred
to the now famous Chicago
-'
White Sox-New York Yankee
game recently in which the Sox
scored three runs in the ninth
inning to take a lead that sub-
sequently was washed out by a
rain storm.
Many big league managers and
players are of the same opinion.
They think the rain rule is ridicu-
lous. Just in case big league base-
ball rule makers have short mem-
ories it was only seven years ago
that rain almost decided a pen-
nant.
It happened in 1945. Hank
Greenberg came out of the Army
to hit a bases-loaded home run
on the last day of the season to
win the pennant for Detroit.
But Big Hank almost didn't get
to hit that now famous circuit
clout. It wps a dark, damp day
in St. Louis for that final game
seven years ago. A twin-bill was
scheduled. The two teams wait-
ed several hours for the weather
to clear enough to get in one
game.
If Detroit had not been able to
play that day they would have
won the American League pen-
nant. The second place Washing-
ton Senators, who had finished
their schedule a week earlier, were
exactly one game behind. They
needed a double Detroit defeat to
tie for the flag. Rain could have
cheated Washington out of its
chance for a pennant tie.
Thanks to Greenberg's home
run, the Tigers won the only game
played and avoiding being called
"rain champs." That's why Lopez
urges that all scheduled games be
