She has won the U. S. title for the past three years, won the Australian title in 1953 in her only trip Down Under and will make her bid for her third straight Wimbledon crown next month, And now she is in the semifinal round of the French championships and appears to a shoo-in for her third straight title since her out- standing rivals, Shirley Fry and Doris Hart, passed up the French tournament to play in English tourneys, Miss Connolly has lost only eight games in three matches in advanc- ing to the semifinals, where she’ll meet Italy’s Sylvana Lazzarino. é les in both divisions. men’s singles are down to Ff 3® Harris’ Three Homers Tops In National League Play Nilo Garcia, Lions catcher, and last year’s leading hitter, is cur- rently pacing the National Little League hitters with an average of 122.

The Indians put an 11-game string on the line in Chicago last night and the White Sox promptly snapped it with a 4-2 decision. If the streak had been the other way around, Cleveland probably would have won. That’s the way these perennial runners-up in the American League have been going at each other regularly during the past three seasons in one of the most everily matched rivalries in the majors. - Dating back through 1951 the series stands 37-34 in favor of the Indians. Cleveland’s slight edge is reflected in the standings since it has finished second all three years. The White Sox own two thirds and a fourth. A yéar ago the clubs broke even against each other, 11 apiece. Chicago now has won three of five from the place Indians this season. Cleveland leads the league by a game and a half over the Sox with the third-place New York Yankees uncomfortably close only two games out. The Yanks took advantage of the Indians’ misfortune last night to close the gap. They beat Washing- ton 9-3. Detroit shaded Baltimore 5-4 in 12 innings. Boston left Philadelphia in last place all alone by winning 3-2. In the National League, the Mil- waukee Braves won their eighth in a row, 3-1 over Cincinnati. The New York Giants slammed 22 hits in beating Pittsburgh 21-4. St. Louis defeated the Chicago Cubs 9-4. The Brooklyn - Philadelphia game was called off because of weather. In beating Cleveland the White Sox not only broke the team’s win- ning streak but they pinned the first loss of the season on Bob Lemon, who had won six. Whitey Ford went the distance for the first time this season as the Yankees ruined Bucky Harris Night in Washington with a- 17 hit assault. Detroit’s long-ball attack ruined Baltimore’s hopes of breaking out of a losing streak which now runs to five games. Trailing 3-2, the Tigers tied the game in the last of the ninth on a home run by Jim "| Delsing. The Orioles scored in the llth only to have Johnny Pesky .|get his first hit of the season, a pinch-hit homer, in the last of the 1.000} 11th.
