Connie Mack Sees
Two Records Made
By His Athletics
PHILADELPHIA, July 22.—
(/p>' — Manager Connie Mack
probably is the only person to
witness two record-making per
formances by his Philadelphia
Athletics.
On September 1, 1906, at
Boston, Mr. Mack waved his
scoreboard through 24 innings
as his A’s defeated the Boston
Red Sox 4-1.
The now 82-year-old manager,
with a 1945 edition of the score
card, guided the Athletics
through another 24-inning battie
yesterday, but there v .s no
decision—the game was called
because of darkness with the
A’s and Detroit Tigers dead
locked at one-all.
When the A’s and Red Sox
set an American League endur
ance record, both pitchers.
Jack Coombs of the Athletics,
and Joe Harris, of the Red St I
went the distance. Coombs was
nicked for 15 hits and struck
out 18 batters, one more than
all four pitchers’ in the modern
marathon. And he ha pitched
two days previous to his record
breaking feat. Harris was
touched for 16 hits.
‘BUMS’ TIE CARDS
FOR SECOND SPOT
ST. LOUIS, July 22.—(/P)—The
world champion Si. Louis Cardi
nals, playing like a sandlot aggre
gation, dropped two sloppy games
to the Brooklyn Dodgers today,
3 to 1 and 8 to 7, as the FlatbuSh
crew ciy^nbed into a second place
tie with the Red Birds, four and
a half games behinds the Chica
go Cubs.
Blix Donnelly allowed the visi
tors only six hits in #he first con
test, but four of them were for
extra bases and the Cards contri
buted the costly errors that result
ed in two of the three runs.
In the nightcap the Dodgers
really teed off on started Charlie
Barrett who was trying for *iis
13th victory, and sent him to the
showers with four consecutive
singles, followed by Louis Olmo’s
triple in the first inning.
Dub Byerly came to the rescue,
but two more Brooklynites hit safe
ly before he could retire the side.
In all, six runs crossed the plate
in the inning. Byerly gave up two
more tallies in the second before
George Dockins and Glen Gard
ner shut off home plate for the
final seven frames.

Manager Joe M’Carthy Hinted
To Favor Quitting Yank Helm
NEW YORK, July 22— <U.R>—Man
ager Joe McCarthy of the New
York Yankees was reported with
out confirmation tonight to have
turned in his resignation after
building up the most successful
dynasty in baseball history.
McCarthy has not been with the
club for the past two days and
could not be reached tonight at his
hotel where he was reported “out
for the evening.”
However, Yankee President L^r
ry S. MacPhail told newspapermen
that he had seen McCarthy this
morning and that the veteran Irish
boss of the Yankees had told him
he was not feeling well.
“I think this may be Joe’s last
year as manager,” MacPhail said.
“However, he did not say this
morning that he was ready to, re
sign yet.”
MacPhail said that McCarthy
had wanted to resign last winter
because of recurrent illness and
that he probably would have done
so had it not been for the change
in Yankee ownership.
When the Yankees were sold to
MacPhail, Capt. Dan Topping of
the Marines and Del Webb, Phoe
nix, Ariz., contractor, retiring
President Edward G. Barrow per
suaded McCarthy to reconsider his
intention to resign. That was in
order not to give the impression
that McCarthy didn’t want to work
for the new ownership, MacPhail
said.
MacPhail said there had been no
friction between them and that he
was satisfied McCarthy was doing
the best that could be done with
the club under the circumstances.
However, last week MacPhail
complained to newspapermen that
he thought the play of the Yankees
was “listless and dull” and that
they had no "emotion.”
That prompted a pre-game lec
ture from McCarthy to the squad,
yet they went out afterward and
dropped their first double header
at home this season to the second
division St. Louis Browns. That
was on Friday and significantly or
not, McCarthy has not been with
the club since.
The 58-year-old McCarthy long
regarded one of the outstanding
tacticians in diamond history, has
compiled a record as Yankee man
ager that is unparalled.
Taking over the club in 1931 after
being deposed as manager of the
pennant winning Chicago Cubs of
1929, McCarthy directed the Yan
kees’ to eight pennants and seven
world championships. The Yankees
finished in second place four times
and third twice, never closing the
season out of the first division
during his regime.___

Track Favorites
Continue To Take
Dizziest Defeats
By MURRAY ROSE
NEW YORK, July 22.—<£>)—
The favorites in racing’s big
stakes continued to take it on
the chin in the dizziest turf
campaign in years with
Thumbs Up and Pavot the
latest victims of the outsiders.
The defeat of Thumps Up,
winner of the $100,000 Santa
Anita derby three weeks ago
and a crack handicap runner,
was the real shocker. Devalue,
a seven-year old horse without
a stake to its name and winner
of one race in six starts this
season, pulled the surprise in
the $58,100 Stars and Stripes
handicap at Washington Park
Saturday.
Owned by Mrs. James Neme
ceck, a Chicago housewife who
thought so little of her
thoroughbred that she wasn’t
on hand to see the event, the
bay son of Espunosa staged a
stretch drive that Carried him
to a nose victory ever the 3 to
5 Thumbs Up and $40,000 first
money.
Devalue was last in the field
of ten on the back stretch and
Jockey Steve Brooks made his
winning move right down the
middle of the track. George
(The Iceman) Woolf, up on
Thumbs Up, was centering
most of his attention on Sirde
along the rail and didn’t notice
the dark horse streaking by
until too late. Sirde took the
show.
The winner, a $19.20 for two
shot, was clocked in 1:51 3-5
for the mile and a furlong.
Pavot had no excuse in going
down to W. L. Brann’s great
filly, Gallorette. A 30-length
last in the Dwyer at Aqueduct,
the browncoated Belmont
Stakes winner still was made
the people’s choice for the $50,
000 added Empire City handi
cap at Jamaica,
But Gallorette, a 3 to 1 shot,
stayed right up with the front
running Pavot for the first mile
of the mile and three-sixteenths
test, collared the W. M. Jef
fords’ color-bearer in the stetch
and then surged on to a 1 3-4
length victory. Post, graduate,
a 65 to 1 dark horse, took third.

OPPOSITION TOUGH
IN TAM O’SHANTER
CHICAGO, July 22.— (U.R) —The
biggest and most talented field of
golfers in action since 1942 will be
on hand at the Tam O’Shanter
Country Club tomorrow for the
qualifying round of the richest
tournament of all time, the $60,000
All-America championships.
The apparently unbeatable Byron
Nelson, who won the recent PGA
championship at Dayton, O., will
have one of his toughest assign
ments in winning this one for he
will have the opposition of such
top linksmen as Sam Snead, Harold
(Jug) McSpaden, Sam Byrd and
diminutive Ben Hogan — who ob
tained leave from the Army to take
a shot at the $13,600 prize for the
winner of the open tournament.
George S. May, the fast-talking
free-spending promoter of the
three-in-one tournament, has prom
ised that this, his fifth tourney, will
be the best of them all in prizes,
golfers and circus color.
The all-American, composed of a
men’s open, a men’s amateur and
a women’s open tournament, gets
under way with qualifying play to
morrow, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Then the big drive for the richest
prizes in golf starts Thursday with
the three tournaments running
simultaneously over the rolling
par-72 course.
To lure the top wartime field,
May is offering the $13,600 in war
bonds to the open champion; $500
in war bonds for first place in the
women’s open and $100 in stamps
to the amateur champ.

ICKES PLANNING
TERRITORY END
(Continued from Page One)
wants “no territory” out of this
war, Hawaii and Alaska would be
admitted as states of the Union at i
the earliest possible time.
This is in line with the legal
status of these areas as “incorpo
rated territories” of the United
States, and with the frequently ex
pressed aspirations of both terri
torial legislatures.
The “unincorporated territory”
of Puerto Rico presents a special
problem in self-determination be
cause of conflicting voices raised
on the Caribbean island regarding
its future political status.
There are large and vocal groups
advocating both statehood and in
dependence in Puerto Rico, with a
sprinkling in favor of some kind
of dominion status.
According to Ickes, those three
alternatives should be offered to
the Puerto Rican people in a pleb
escite sponsored by Congress.
Puerto Rico’s governor, Rexford
G. Tugwell, recently told the in
sular legislature that he thought
it would be unfair to both the Unit
ed States and Puerto Rico if the
island should ask for statehood, for
instance, and Congress should then
refuse to grant it.
