With the Athletics, his hitting dropped around he .250 mark and his work in the field was somewhat short of sensational. McCoy himself, after the first few weeks of the season revealed his slump, attributed it to the fact that the publicity he received at the time of signing had made him self-conscious.

The fans wouldn't let him forget that he had received the largest bonus of any free agent in baseball's history. As a result, said McCoy, he was trying too hard and stumbling in the process. Whatever the reason. Benny's batting average for the season thus far stands at .258, with 98 hits out of 372 times at bat. In addition to benching McCoy, the 77-year-old president and manager of the A's shuffled his infield to place Center Fielder.

J-5 Corsica Called on to Put Ben gals Back in First Place Tie Today CLEVELAND, Aug. 13 (JP) Pennant hopes animated both teams and the fans as the Cleveland Indians, holding a slight advantage, and the Detroit Tigers renewed their contest for top place in the American league today. The Indians, with the confidence that came from their 8 to 5 conquest of the Tigers Monday, took the field full came ahead. The best Detroit could achieve would be a renewal of the first-place tie as a result 01 to day's game.

Johnny Gorsica got the nod from Manager Del Baker to pitch against the veteran Mel Harder of the In dians. The game will end an aDDre-viated series of two. Newhouser's Stay Short Bob Feller registered his 20th vic tory of the season Monday, but he shared acknowledgements with Roy Weatherly, Hal Trosky and Beau Rell. each of whom furnished a timely home over League park's short right field fence. The Tiger bats rapped seven hits off Feller delivery, but the Indians, once considered weak hitters, used their warclubs to the deciding advantage, blasting out 12 safeties.

Cleveland opened with its heavy artillery in the first inning, and the Tigers never caught up, though they rallied for three runs in the seventh. Harold Newhouser started for De troit by walking Ben Chapman and Weatherly. The pitcher's teammates went to his aid by retiring VVeath erly and Louis Boudreau on a double play, but then Trosky got his homer, scoring Chapman. Bell stepped up for his four-bagger, Kenneth Kelt-ner got a double, and Newhouser did no more Ditching Clay Smith, who was called on for mound relief, fanned Ray Mack. Detroit got its first tally in the second on a single by Rudy York and a double by Frank (Pinky) Hig gins.

Keltner. who singled to left, was brought in by Mack in the fourth for the next Cleveland run. The Indians marked up three runs in the fifth. Chapman opened with a single and scored on Weatherly's homer. Boudreau followed with a single, advanced when Trosky was hit by a pitched ball and scored on a double by BelL Strikeout Total 197 Feller held Detroit until the sixth, when Hank Greenberg's long double to center, followed by a single by Higgins.

produced a run. A wild moment plagued Feller in the seventh, when he walked three men. Bruce Campbell, batting or Smith, drew the first pass after one was out. Dick Bartell and Pete Fox took the free route, filling the bases. Barney McCosky doubled to right, scoring Campbell and Bartell.

and Fox crosed the plate when Green-berg grounded to Boudreau. York struck out. The Tigers went runless the rest of the game. Cleveland put across its final run in the sixth, with Chapman singling, stealing second and traveling home on a single by Boudreau. Feller, whose victory made him the first in the majors to reach the 20-game mark this season, ran his strikeout total to 197 by fanning seven Tigers.

13 (JP) Pos sibly the safest prediction that can be made about tonight's fight be tween Bob Pastor and Billy Conn at the Polo grounds is that it will go 15 fast rounds to a split decision, with the manager of the losing gladiator yelling murder at the verdict. A fight between two such clever but light-hitting men usually ends that way, barring a bad cut that forces the referee to stop it. Seldom around here at least do the two judges and the' referee agree on the winner, and the divergences of opinion between these supposed experts sometimes is amazing. Light Hitters So it is a reasonable expectation that after the last lick has been hit tonight and the slips have been collected and the winner's hand raised, there will be some yelling and gesticulating either by Jimmy Johnston, who manages Pastor, or by little Johnny Ray, who thinks his boy Conn is the coming heavyweight champion. Because neither fighter is a knocker-outer, the match has not created a great deal of interest and might not draw more than $50,000 at the gate.

Still, it should be an exciting scrap, for both Conn and Pastor are fast, smart and willing, and they are soft hitters only in comparison to a sickening puncher like Joe Louis. It still is a mystery to at least one impartial observer why Conn has been a fovorite ever since the articles were signed. By every yard stick in common use experience, weight, defensive ability and fire power Pastor appears to have a distinct edge. Anyhow, he looks like the more sensible choice. Yet the gamboleers still were offering slight odds against Pastor's chances at the last call-over.

There are several intangible fac tors that have Influenced the odds The sharpers thing maybe Pastor had a year or two of his career knocked out of him in his last fight with Louis In Detroit. They have no proof, but they simply are un sure of a man who has been Jolted solidly by the Bomber. Vote Goes to Pastor Another angle is that Promoter Mike Jacobs undoubtedly would prefer for Conn to win and provide him with an opponent for Louis, the only fighter who makes important money for a promoter to day. Mike has no Intention of put ting Pastor in with the champion again. But it is difficult to figure where in Mike's preference will have any bearing on the outcome tonight.

His severest critics have never accused him of attempting any real skull duggery since he took over boxing here. Fun might be made of the state's three boxing commissioners but they do police the game with a heavy hand and a bilious eye. So it will be strictly Conn vs Pas tor once they get in the ring, with the result a toss-up. Conn, the light heavyweight champion, is facing a good deal the best fighter he has met since he began bouncing Fred Apostoli around here nearly two years ago. Pastor is meeting a young Irishman with a flaming spirit and a pair of lashing fists, who thinks he can whip Joe Louis.

One wavering vote for Pastor. ELECTRICAL WORKERS DOWN BATTERY NINE The Electrical Workers took the lead in the Class baseball playoff as they copped the first game from Lansing Battery 7 to 3, at Marshau field Monday evening. Shaky fielding was again a big factor as the Batterymen bobbled five. Bob Pangborn held the Battery to six hits and hurled shutout ball until the sixth inning when a double by Bob McKee and a single by Lloyd Card is broke he ice. Darrcl Pointer did the chucking for Lansing Battery and gave up seven runs and eight hits.

HOLT MERCHANTS LOSE IN COUNTY TOURNEY (Special to The State Journal' MASON, Aug. 13 The Tri- County tournament went into the final round tonight with a new champion assured as the Holt Mer chants, defending champions, were defeated last night by Millslte Fishing Tackle, of Howell, 3 to 1. The finals of the 1940 Tri-County tournament will be played at the Mason park Tuesday night at 9 p. m.

Howell will be opposed by Frank lin DeKleines of Lansing, who gained the final bracket, by downing Delhi Democrats in a thrilling game, a to 4. There will be a 7:30 attraction between two strong girls' teams. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13 Benny McCoy, the Philadelphia Athletics' high priced second baseman, will sit on the sidelines tonight when the A's meet Washington under the lights. The 22 -year-old Grandville, player was shelved for an indefinite period yesterday as Manager Connie Mack shook up his last-place team In an effort to find a winning combination.

In McCoy's place. Mack installed Larry Davis, a rookie who was graduated from Duke university in 1939. As a a first-year man with the Detroit Tigers last year, McCoy was such a sensation that when Baseball Czar K. M. Landis declared him a free agent the bidding for his services rose to unheard-of figures.

When McCoy finally signed with the A's, he was presented with a $45,000 bonus, a two-year contract at $10,000 a year, and the assurance tliat he would be the regular second sacker. But something went wrong.

IN IN SAGGING COLTS Grand Rapids Humbled for Fifth Straight Time, Lose to Saginaw (By The Associated Press) The Flint Gems added another half-notch to their first place standing: In the Michigan state league last night by winning a bat ting spree over the Lansing Lan cers. while the second-place St. Joseph Autos were kept idle by rain. The score was 9 to 4 and it gave the Gems a margin of 8V2 games The contest was billed as a hurling duel between Flint's Vern Kohler and Lansing's Gardner, two of the league's leading moundsmen, but both men were soundly rapped.

The Gems collected seven doubles, in cluding three by Kohler. At Grand Rapids the home club was humbled for the fifth straight time as the Saginaw Athletics swept their current series with a 7 to 5 1 finale. With the score knotted 4-all in the eighth, the Athletics broke the spell by loading the bases with a walk and two bunts by-Gunkel and McMullen. Fuchs scored a run on a fly to center, and Zamaroni's sizzler over second was good for a two-run mop up. Rightflelder Dahlstrom homered in the second, marking up his third round trip for the Athletics in the three games at Grand Rapids.

The ralned-out game between Muskegon and St. Joseph caused a slight commotion in the league standings. Whereas the Autos lost half a game to the first-place Gems, the Reds hoisted themselves a half game out of last place and yielded the cellar ranking to the dereated Lancers.
