Cleveland Trio Appears Headed for Best Season Cleveland's rubber-armed three-some of Bob Lemon, Mike Garcia and Early Wymm were headed for their greatest season today as the streaking Indians put their two-game American League lead on the line in a two-week home stand. Lemon, the senior member of the hard-throwing trio, received the benefit of the Indians' biggest offensive outburst of the season to score his eighth win in Monday's 13-5 rout of the Boston Red Sox. The victory, which completed a five-game sweep of the collapsing Bosox, enabled the Indians to gain a half-game on the idle Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees. Hank Sauer hit his 20th home run of the year as the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-5, in the only other major league game. The homer was the Cubs' 74th, leaving them slightly behind the record pace set by the New York Giants in 1947. Combined .678 Percentage Including Monday's triumph, Lemon and his two moundmates have combined for 23 victories and only 11 losses for a .676 percentage—far better than they had compiled on this date in each of the last three seasons during which they carried the Indians' pennant hopes. A year ago, the threesome had a combined record of 19-14 on June 15. It was 21-15 in 1952 and 16-17 in 1951 when late-season spurts enabled them to spark the Indians to second-place finishes. The Indians pounded out 22 hits, including five doubles and homers by George Strickland and Al Smith. Hank Majeski had four hits and Lemon and Larry Doby three each in the assault on three Boston pitchers. Lemon yielded 11 hits in seven Stanton Guns for Fourth Straight Church Triumph The Stanton Community softballers will be shooting for their League victory when they take on the Nazarenes at La Palma Park tonight at 8:30. The Church of Christ moved to within a half game of the loop leaders by nipping the Bethel Baptists at City Park last night. The Presbyterians squared their record at 2-2 with a 16-7 conquest of the White Temple. The Bethel Baptists exploded for six runs in the fifth to grab an 8-5 lead, but the Church of Christ bounced back with two runs in the fifth and another pair in the sixth. Ed Stringer smacked a second-inning home run for the Presbyterians while Rel Schmitt pasted a bases-loaded triple in the fifth.

The Indians pounded out 22 hits, including five doubles and homers by George Strickland and Al Smith. Hank Majeski had four hits and Lemon and Larry Doby three each in the assault on three Boston pitchers. Lemon yielded 11 hits in seven innings and was removed in favor of Ray Narleski after the Red Sox scored three runs in the seventh. It was the seventh straight defeat for the Red Sox and their eighth in nine games. Sauer Blasts No. 20 Sauer, who had gone hitless in 21 consecutive appearances at the plate, blasted No. 20 with Ralph Kiner aboard in the eighth inning to provide the Cubs with their margin of victory. Sauer's run proved decisive when the Pirates chased rookie Jim Davis with a two-run rally in the bottom of the inning, Hal Jeffcoat coming out of the bullpen to "save" the game. Davis received credit for his third triumph while Max Surkont suffered his seventh loss. Four Pittsburgh errors made three Chicago runs unearned. The Brooklyn Dodgers edged out the Yankees, 2-1, before 28,084 at Yankee Stadium in their annual exhibition game for the benefit of sandlotters and the Buffalo Bisons downed the parent Detroit Tigers, 6-1, in the only other games involving big league teams.

Bielefeld blanked the Shamrocks-1-0, with a pair of hits last Tuesday and followed up with a-1-0 victory over the Hollywood Nite-hawks Friday. Carol Spanks, who tossed a five-hit,5-2 victory over the Shamrocks last Wednesday night, will probably draw the starting assign-lead. TO PRESENT CLINIC — All courts Friday, June 25. Miss M title; Mary Flynn, girls' 18 and NEW YORK (UP) — The television Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association day released a report which shows that "the maximum effect of television on attendance (at college football games) has already been reached." This bit of good news for college athletic officials who has been concerned over the sight of near-empty stadiums on autumn afternoons was tempered some what by another analysis which showed that "there is no indication that the 'novelty effect' of has worn off." Both opinions were included in a report prepared for the NCAA group by the National Opinion Research-Center of the University Chicago. The report pointed out that "whether loss due to television w not soon be regained. That attention is lost and it will take many years of population and income growth to regain it." The report also disproves previous arguments that fans would flock back to the stadiums on the "novelty effect" of TV h worn off. A table on 1953 attendance shows that about 84 per cent of four-year-s owned no games in while the stay-at-homes amount one-year owners reached69 percent. ARTHRITIS?

SUBLE S&H GREEN STAMPS WITH THIS AD WE GIVE N. GREEN STAMPS His most notable improvement was in his ability to throw combinations of punches—ranging from three to six, delivered in rapid-fire order. He also improved his body-punching. It is true that the champ did appear somewhat stale, as if over-trained, in his closing sessions. But Mamgger Al Weill and trainer Charley Goldman have made no mistakes thus far in handling their "iron man." And I am confident they will bring him into the ring razor sharp. Charles, 32, will have advantages of height, reach, weight, experience and skill-over the 29-year old champion. But Rocky has advantages of ruggedness, punch, stamina and grim determination. Never has Charles faced an opponent who attacks so relentlessly and dangerously from gong to gong. Some experts claim the Brockton Blockbuster's punch has been over-rated. Nevertheless, he proved he can take out a top-flight opponent with one blow, as he did against Jersey Joe Walcott at Chicago on May 15, 1953. And he roved he can batter an opponent into helpless submission, as I don't know where people here get the idea that Turner is only an exhibition fighter," Flaherty said. "He's a rough, tough customer and that's why I've taken the precaution to get him to sign a return match contract to fight Bobo—just in case he wins. The heat here is going to affect both fighters—and in an outdoor ring anything can happen." However, Flaherty said, Olson's "in as good shape for this non-title bout as he was when he won the championship or defended his title." Turner's manager, George Wilsman, said Turner probably would weigh in at about 161 or 162 pounds. Flaherty said Olson will weigh in at about 166. There's No Substitute for Paid Circulation.

(UP)—A lot of the old fairway heroes are getting ready today to take their last trip down golf's Glory Road. This is the last year in which all former champions qualify automatically for the U.S. Open, which starts at Baltusrol on Thursday. From now on only five previous individuals who took the big one get a free ride. Which makes this one the swan song for a lot of the storied shot-makers. Eleven of them will go out with the young and eager hopefuls when the three-day tournament starts. You might say that less than half of them have a chance—the likes of Ben Hogan, Cary Middlecoff, Julius Boros, Lew Worsham and Lloyd Mangrum. The rest of them are here because with them the Open is one of their brightest memories, a return for a few hours to the fresh young days of the past. Men like Lawson Little, Gene Sarazen, Billy Burke, Chick Evans, Tony Manero and Johnny Farrell don't expect to step into the Winner's Circle come Saturday evening. But back in the long ago they did win it—and until now that has been their passport to temporary youth. Yet in the end, mathematics caught up to them. This year there were 1,937 entries for the Open. With the starting field limited to 162 players, the exemptions left only 129 places. It was the thinking of the U.S. Golf Association that too many young players with a real chance were being forced to the sidelines. So the new ruling was put in. You can argue it both ways. Sentimentally, you hate to see the Old Guard go. Yet the young fellows should have their chance, too. "Wee Bobby" Cruikshank, one of the wizened ancients, summed it up when he said: "There will always be people who would like to come out and see such as Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones or—10 years from now—Ben Hogan play in the Open even if they didn't have a chance to win. And yet, this is the Open championship and you can't run it on sentiment alone." Bobby has an answer with which you can't argue. Despite his age he went out and qualified with a pair of very fine 70s. A total of 14 former winners had filed to play but three of them, Byron Nelson, Craig Wood and Sam Parks, withdrew. They had no illusions about possible victory and stepped out for various reasons. But to men like Sarazen, Little, Burke, Evans, Manero and Farrell this will be a grand reunion as they relive the days when they walloped their way to victory. PCL Pessimists Given Severe Jolt by Week’s Attendance of 135,973 Fans By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer claims it takes about 30,000 fans PCL Pessimists Given Severe Jolt by Week’s Attendance of 135,973 Fans By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UP) — The blue noses who had been predicting that 1954 would spell the death knell to the half century old Pacific Coast League, got a severe jolt. The loop drew 135,973 fans during the week just ended. Los Angeles, hosting league-leading Hollywood, brought in nearly half of these with 65,120; San Francisco most of the rest with 53,331 while playing arch rival Oakland. In view of the fact that this was the week of “traditional rivalries,” the Portland Seattle series in Oregon city should have done better than 6,565, but there was bad weather most of the time and two nights were rained out completely. Sacramento, hosting San Diego, attracted a disappointing 10,957 for the week. Ready for The Majors The fact that Los Angeles and San Francisco played to 118,451 out of the 135,973 total may bring up the claim again that these two cities have outgrown the rest of the league, and are deserving of major league baseball. There are two sides to that question, of course, and this week’s attendance mark certainly doesn’t prove anything. Only that there is enough population in the area to put big league crowds through the turnstiles. San Francisco, with a team that has risen from last place into contention for second inside a month, attracted 114,426 fans in two weeks, the first series being against Portland. Last year, for the whole 1953 season, the Seals played to something like 170,000. They are past that mark already this year and have seven home weeks left. Seals President Damon Miller claims it takes about 30,000 fans a week in the park to break even. That figure applies roughly throughout the league, possibly between 20,000 and 25,000 would do it for most clubs. In any event, San Francisco is so well taken care of that Miller and his “little corporation” already are making plans to operate in 1955. And it’s a cinch the rest of the league will be in the same position. Only Portland is being hurt by weak attendance so far this season, and that can be expected with a last place club. This week, the league leading Hollywood Stars try their prowess at the plate and at the gate against San Francisco’s Kiddle Kar Express; Oakland hosts Los Angeles; Seattle goes to San Diego and Sacramento entertains Portland. These series aren’t designed to pack in the crowds as big as they were last week, but there still could be plenty of action at the counting desks.
