CARDS
UPSET CUBS
The St. Louis Cardinals took a
shot in the pennant arm today by shellacking the Cubs 11 to 6. The game
was a thrill packed umpire baiting, protest fest from the start to finish,
with the later part of the game being played under protest. Red Barrett
started for the Cards and went until the top of the fourth. At that
time a three run rally sent him to the showers in favor of Burkhardt.
In the fifth, Krim replaced Passeau on the mound for the Cubs after
a Cardinal rally had wiped out a one run lead. The game was nip and
tuck until the seventh, with two men on for the Cards, Nicholson of
the Cubs caught, fumbled and recovered a line drive on the right field
wall. Umpire Ballentine ruled an out almost automatically, but his dicision
[sic] was reversed by three other three umpires. The Cubs finished the
game under protest. The Cards have no rosy road ahead though, in order
to even tie for the National League Pennant and thus make a play off
necessary, they have to win the next three games.
TIGERS AND INDIANS SPLIT
Hal Newhauser pitched his 16th
straight win as the Tigers danced merrily to a 11 to 0 shut out in the
first game. Sparked by Hank Greenburg and Rudy York, the Tigers looked
like the old team of old that engaged in hilarious slug-fests under
the leadership of Micky Cochrane. "Hard Luck Hal" Benton pushed off
in the second game, and did nicely until the fourth inning. In the 4th,
Hal flubbed a hot grounder initiating a triple error, allowing three
runs in to upset a crazy two run lead. From there on in the Indians
hung onto their lead taking the nite-cap 3 to 2. If the Tigers drop
the next two games, they will have to play off against the Senators
for the American League Pennant.
MYRON NELSON DRIVING FOR TOP HONORS
The sensational golf champion Myron
Nelson is in the Portland National Open Golf Tournament. Top money in
this event is $16,000 and should bring out a fair sample of the best
in golfers. Superstitious followers of the little rubber ba11 consider
it one of the top tournaments of the year. Nelson is top favorite for
the event.

EMPEROR FORSAKES DIGNITY:
Dressed very formally in his Sunday best, Emperor Hirohito, Mikado of
Japan payed [six] a social call on General MacArthur this morning. Bowing
and tipping his hat to the newspaper men present, the Emperor· was ushered
into MacArthurs presence by an interpreter , the only witness of the
call. Mac was dressed in his sun tans minus a tie. This event marks
the first time in Japans 1istory that an Emperor has called on a foreigner

U.S. LANDS HAYMAKER ON FRANCO:
As long, as the Franco or Facist
regime remains in, Spain will remain out of the family of Nations. This
flat statement come today from the U.S. State Department. What gives
it teeth, however, is the further statement that no relief supplies
of food, clothing or reciprocal trade agreements will be forth corning
as long as the present government exists in Spain. LABOR STRIKES RISING:
Strikes and rumors of strikes disturb the dreams of harassed industrialist
at this writing. The New York elevator strike gives promise of spreading
to Brooklyn, and the apartment buildings of the city. The garment workers
union continues to support the operators union by refusing to break
the picket to reach work benches. These in turn are supported by white
collar workers. Oil workers out in one state were being joined
by workers from five other states, unless employers meet union demands.
The workers demand the same overall wage for a forty hour week as for
the war time forty-eight. Lumber strikes in the N.W., coal miners in
Pennsylvania and the U.A.W.A, strikes in the middlewest present the
overall picture of the strike situation in America.
