~ POLLY AND HER PALS SEEMS LIKE THEY'S A LOTTA WIMMIN WEARIN/ JEANS THIS SEASON, SAM . FAST STRIDE FOR VICTORY McCarfhyméfi—Apparenlly Staging Same Merciless Comeback as in 1938 (By Associated Press) All signs from an American League view point to an early fall for the opponents of the Yankees. They squelched the Brownies of St. Louis in a doubleheader yesterday and this must have convinced doubters that the McCarthymen are planning to stage the same merci- less finish they did last year. Switch About Boston lost the second straight pame yesterday dropping Chicago- ward, ten and one-half games be- hind the Yankees. At this rate the Yankees will clinch the title before the so-called crucial series. Here'’s Situation The Browns and Philadephia are already mathematically eliminated from the race. Washington will join the is-outs with one more loss. Sundra pitched eight - hit ball while his teammates got 17 hits in the first game. Gomez pitched a three-hitter in the nightcap. Homers Made Boston's Vosmik and Foxx hom- ered yesterday. Harry Eisenhart, Clevelander, shut out Philadelphia yesterday with a six-hitter. - - MRS. J E.

And, when I run out of paints, I'll use Kodachrome.” Wirt intends to show colored mo- tion pictures in connection with his lectures, which will be given before church, school and fraternal groups in the Middle West. He is leaving tonight on the Mount McKinley for Seward and Matanuska Valley to fill a journalistic assignment and obtain movies, and expects to return here in a couple of weeks, before proceeding south. Wirt has lived in for through the Territory four years and has traveled it as far north as the Arctic Circle, making the Yukon River trip in a rowboat for 1,000 miles last summer “I am sorry to be leaving Ju- neau,” he said, “but am maintain- ing my residence in Alaska and hope to be back next summer with a boat- load of educated tourists, who won't have to inquire whether Mendenhall Glacier was caused by a PWA dam or froze to death in a cold winter.” BABE SEIZERT I DROWNED IN LAKE Alongside Ambidextrous Si By The AP Feature Service | ATMORE, Ala., Aug. 26.—It won't be long before we're showered with stories of sensational football for- ard passing feats.

Individually, Lou Gehrig's 2,130- ame consecutive playing streak —— ablished when he retired this summer — stands as the greatest mark, but Rookie Richard Atley Donald broke an old first-year pitching record by winning his first 12 games. Harry Krause of the Philadelphia Athletics won 10 in 1909, Di Maggio, Selkirk and Dahlg teamed up to tie a major league record June 28 by hitting home rurs in succession in the same inning Ben Chapman, Trosky, and Healh of Cleveland had done the sam thing three days before.
