I The victory, Raschi's 20th of the season, put the Yankees two and a half games ahead of second-place Cleveland, which lost its third straight game to Detroit, 9-1. The Yankees have six games to play, five with the Red Sox at New York, while Cleveland has only three remaining. The Red Sox are five games behind the leaders.

Raschi turned back the Red Sox with an eight-hitter. The husky right-hander wrig gled out of serious trouble in the early innings, stamped out a threat in the sixth and rode home to his third straight 20-win year on a blast of 14 Yank hits. Snarled in a 1-1 tie with Lefty Chuck Stobbs for six innings, Raschi scrambled home free on a three-run outburst in the sev enth. Pinch-Hitter Johnny Mize delivered a clutch single that broke the deadlock. Hank Bauer and Jerry Coleman each had three hits and Mickey Mantle, Gil McDougald am Mize two each in this final road game of the Yank season, Yankee Rally After the three-run rally in the seventh off Stobbs and Ellis Kiitder, making his 61st appear ance, the Yanks, tore into Ray Scarborough for another pair in the eighth.

That finished the Red Sox, in their final home appear ance before fans. Raschi's deliberate eight-hit job assured the ranks of a com fortable lead as they head home to finish the season with six more garner, five against Boston. Tomorrow is an off day for both the Yanks and Indians but both play Tuesday New York against Philadelphia and Cleveland at Chicago in a night game. By his determined performance of great clutch pitching Raschi gave the Yanks two 20-game winners for the first time since 1937, when both Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing crashed the exclusive club.

The La Crescenta ace won 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. He completely outplayed his younger opponent in every department Kanter Bows Top-seeded Dorothy Head of Alameda, took the women's title in fighting off the strong bid of Anita Kanter, Santa Monica. 0-6, 13-11, 6-0. Miss Kanter, lS-year-old holder of the national junior and California junior titles, was much stronger and faster than Miss Head in the first set and continually forced the play.

However, the more experienced Miss Head, after winning the hour and a half second set, completely dominated the third. Another for Ted Miss Head holds the 1951 national clay courts title.

Bettenhausen went wire to wire in the Merle Belanger Special from Crown Point, IncL, in which Lee Wallard won the 500-mile Indianapolis classic.

WOLF TAKES LEAD IN GRID GAZERS' DERBY Al Wolf showed his heels to the pigskin-pickin field as the annual Times Crystal Gazers Derby got under way over the week end. Wolf, pickinr 16 winners out of a possible 20, moved into a one-length lead over Frank Finch, whose record revealed a won-loss mark of 15-5. Another step behind irk third place came Braven Dyer, who smiled over 14 outcomes and gave six others a dirty look. As a matter of fact there was only a "one-length" separation parting all of the seven gazers. For a peek at the standings, run your Eddie Cantors over the following: lVolf (16-4); 2 Finch (15-5); 3 Dyer -H4-6); 4 Paul Schissler (13-7); 5 Dick Hyland (12-8); 6 Paul Zimmerman 'li-9) and 7 Jim Hardy (10-10).

said Frawley, "he dreamed, ate and slept baseball." It is a fact often overlooked that Frick was no stranger to the American League before he became president of the National League. RUTH'S GHOST "He first covered the New York Yankees," Frawley pointed out, "and made a lot of friends for himself in the American League before he transferred to covering the New York Giants. "As a matter of fact, I believe Ford was one of the early ghost writers for Babe Ruth when the Bambino was setting the baseball world on fire." That Frick has a faculty for making friends, and keeping them, is demonstrated by the knowledge that he was an unsuccessful suitor for the commissionership when baseball did that daffy thing and reached out to hire the great politician, Sen. A. B.

(Happy) Chandler. OLD KENTUCKY HOME It's going to be interesting, in the next few years, to watch what major league baseball does under Frick's leadership. Equally interesting is going to be the look in retrospect at Chandlers regime when we're going to get a better appraisal of what the soft-spoken Senator from accomplished, or failed to do. Although it is doubtful that Frick can render "Back Home in Indiana" where he was born, or "In the Hills of Colorado" with the same success that Happy used to shut his eyes and warble "My Old Kentucky Home," don't sell Ford short in that department either. He was quite a tenor in his early reportorial days, and can put Chandler to shame in the poetry quoting department.

If he doesn't sing, or recite poetry in his new job, it isn't that he can't. P.S. Chances are he's simply going all the way in making a clean break of it from the methods of Sen. Chandler. Bolanos, DeMarco Tangle Tonight CHICAGO, Sept.

Bonaventure, 6. St. Joseph's 14; Loras, 13. Ford Christopher Frick undoubtedly will make baseball a fine commissioner and none can deny the game has been his passion since his college days at DePauw University. However, we hate to explode the theory, carried in the life stories of the new boss of baseball, that he was quite a player but we suspect that the fact that he tried and failed to make the grade in the game i3 a better yarn anyway.

This information only indicates his great love for the national pastime. HE COULDN'T FIELD We draw upon the fund of knowledge of an old Associated Press compatriot and zealous baseball fan, Frank Fraw-le3 to fill in some of the picture of Frick's early life in Colorado. Frank, who is with the Associated Press here, knew the new commissioner when. Frawley says Frick couldn't field. After Ford got out of DePauw he heeded the great urge and went west riding the rods from Chicago to Walsen-burg, where he got himself a job teaching school.

Frick's life story says the younj. professor played semi-pro baseball there, which may be true. TURNED REPORTER "After Walsenburg," said Frank, "Ford came to Colorado Springs and got himself in the school system there and later taught journalism at Colorado College. He also worked on the Colorado Springs Telegraph where he became a columnist. "He talked so much about baseball and about his playing ability," laughed Frank yesterday, "that I gave him a trial, was running a semi-pro team at Colorado Springs at the time.

"We sent him out with a glove and hit fungoes at him. But after two of them hit him on the heao he just couldn't see the ball we gave up on the idea." Frawley isn't sure whether Frick quit semipro baseball before semipro baseball quit him. But it was a virtual tie and the agreement was mutual. HE'S AO STRANGER Frank has no intention of belittling the new commissioner, with whom he worked in the newspaper field at Colorado Springs before they both went to New York. Frank went there to write sports for the Associated Press and Ford went at the behest of Arthur Brisbane to do baseball for the New York Journal-American.

"Even if he wasn't a good player in those early years," BROOKLYN, Sept. 23 (JP) Preacher Roe pitched the Brooklyn Dodgers a step nearer the National League pennant today as he turned back the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-2. The triumph was Roe's 22nd, compared to two defeats, and also his 10th straight. The victory enabled the Dodgers to maintain their three-game lead over the runner-up New York Giants who defeated Boston. 4-1.

In the vernacular a hematoma is a king-size Charley horse.

I -4 Logue Passes Five TDs for Border Eleven BY JACK GEYER Tay Brown's big and bruising Bluejackets from the San Diego Naval Training Center lowered the. boom on Jordan Olivar's Loyola 42-28, in a freewheeling football game before 9572 fans yesterday afternoon at the Rose Bowl.

The beefy Tars, trailing for three quarters, buried the Lions Navy Player Injured Dale Atkeson, 20-year-old San Diego Navy player, suffered a broken neck during the first half of yesterday's football game with Loyola. The former Narbonne High and SC frosh star was taken to the Huntington Memorial Hospital. under a touchdown landslide in the fourth period when they broke away four scores, three of which were the direct result of Loyola misfires. Don Klosterman was advertised as the top quarterback but Navy's Don Logue, a shifty, 5-foot 10-inch 173-pound-er, was yesterday's hero. Good Day's Work Logue, who won letters in football, basketball and track at the University of Arkansas, in addition to capturing the State middleweight boxing championship, merely tossed five touchdown passes, scooted for 44 yards, mostly when he appeared trapped, and even found time tq haul down a pass tossed by Teammate Bob Scales.

Klosterman, who had one of the worst days in his varsity career, still managed to connect on 17 of 32 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns, but three were intercepted, one by ex-Oregon star, Earl Stelle, for a 35-yard touchdown gallop. Loyol completely dominated the game during the first half and midway through the third quarter where Navy trailed, 21-7. Sailors Hold Then, capitalizing quickly on every Loyola lapse, the Bluejackets tied the score before the fourth period was minute old and added two more quick touchdowns before Olivar's boys could gather their wits and another touchdown. The Lions pulled to within seven points, 28-35, with 11 minutes to go and, for a while, remembering Loyola's fantastic comebacks of 1950, it appeared Turn to Page 2, Column 4 TODAY IN SPORTS Pet.
