Altaough it may be another

their closest competitors, will
make the Yankees ane Detroit

If the Red Sox, now -enjoying
a 12-game lead, beat the Yan
kees in all four gameg and goo
on to play .500 ball ‘r thei- re
riaining 37 contests, the Yankees
will be faced with the difficult
{ask of winning 37 of their re
maining 39 games in order to
¢ical the penmnant.

“wub invasion yesterday by
sweeping a doubicheader from
‘h, Washington Senators at the

{ You may not agree with Base
tball Commissioner Happy Chan-‘
dler’s ruling opening the doors to‘i
John W. Galbreath and closing
them to Mickey Owen, but you’ll.
have to agree that Happy made‘
his own decisions. At various
| times the Commissioner has been
\xarged with avoiding such
ings. Maybe it is tough 'on
‘Owen, but Mickey must have
| known when he went to Mexico
! that he would be considered a
contract jumper, even though his
just-out-of-the-Navy status was
lunusual. If Chandler had been
ienient this time, a lot of other
players might figure: “I'll get
more dough in Mexico and if I
don’t like it T can always jump
| back.” That would make running
i a ball club more,difficult, to say
‘the least. As for Galbreath, who
| should know better than a Ken
| tuckian that horsemen aren’t nec
’essarily undesirable?

We know it is a hardship to wait for

you will wunderstand that we, and
Chevrolet, are as eager to deliver cars as
you are to obtain them. Unferfunately,
production so far this year is far under
expectations. Chevrolet Moter Division
sums up the sitJation thus: -
‘“Even though our rate of production
normally exceeds that of any other
manufacturer, we have been able to
build, up to July 1, enly 12.4 per cent
as many cars as we had built up to
that date in 1941, Preduction is still
far below normal, becavse of fre
quent shortages. of essential mate
rials and parts. Strike aftar strike at the
plants of our suppliers has seriously
impeded our progress toward full
production, and the cumulative
effect severeiy hampers every manu
facturing and assembly plent. in
June we were able to build only
29.2 per cent as many cars as we
produced in the same meonth in
1941."
While production is restricted, so—in
proportion—are shipments of cars to us.
As production increases, we aré assured
of getting cur proportionate share of the
total—and as quickly as cars aré received
we will speed delivéries so our customers

Leo Insists That

There’s Nobody
)
Better,” Than Bums
By JACK HAND :
BROOKLYN, Aug. 16 —(APY
—Leo Durocher, a . character
known to his Flatbush intimates
as “The Lip”, won’t predict a
Nationa} League pennant for his
Brooklyn Dodgers but insists®
“there’s -nobody any better.”
Leo’s statement, under analysis
could be construed as meaning he
thinks the books snould win but
isn't quite sure. Then again he
might subscribe +to the theory
that the best team doesn’t always
win. Leo the quiet one, didn’t
elaborate. J :
After sweeping four slraight|
from the stumbling New York|
Giants in a series witnessed by
106,337 fans, Durocher isn't in-1
clined to view with alarm’ the
impending Dodgers invasion of 1‘
the Western badiands. |
“After all it’s only 11 games,”
Durocher points out. “wk’ll be
home most of September. I'll say
this for the record, though if we
come back home still in first
place, we're going to be awfully
tough to catch. If we can break
even in the west we’ll be okay.”
Durocher is quite pleased with!
the way his pitching has been
coming along although his bullpen
corps still is.his best bet.. three
days.out of four. |
Much of the Dodger’s success
must be credited to the inspira
tional leadership of Durocher.
Dixie Walker probably explains
it as well as anybody when he
says “I don’t know what there is
about it but every day Leo has
you believing that tomorrow’s
game is the most important. If
you lose, then he doesn’t have to
tell you: You know tomorrow’s
’game is the most important.”
