Wimbledon champion Shirley Fry defeated Althea Gibson, 7-5, 6-1, today to win the women's singles title the 47th annual national clay courts championships.

YANKEES: The ladies, who were handicapped by rain last Friday night, are going to have another night at Stadium.

Last Saturday a washed-out game with A's has been rescheduled on an open date, Tuesday night, Aug. 28.

BEFORE THEY COME home Aug.

When last the Yanks went "West, they lost all four games in the Windy City and captured all nine others elsewhere. A similar 9-4 mark this time would be the clincher. A CLEVELAND FAN.

who may not regard the Yanks' 9V4 lead as secure, might argue that the Tribe still is very much alive. He could point out that his team has the 1 stronger pitching and the more favorable schedule. He could also remember that the Giants won in '51, when they had longer to come and shorter time to get ther. However, after first denying the Indians hopeful comparison with the Giants with the" remark that the Men of Durocher used up all the miracles that one baseball generation is allowed, a Yankee fan would make these points; (1) ALTHpUGH THE Yankees liave 39 games left on the road and only 25 at home, as compared to 41 for Cleveland at home and only 26 on the road, that could work to the champs' benefit. They have, been a better club away from Stadium this year, where they've won 27 and lost 11 At home, the Yanks are 84-18 Mickey Mantle, for one, is a much bigger threat on the road, where the closer fences offer a nice target for his long-distance blasts from either side of the plate.

(2) THERE IS NO reason to believe that the Yanks, who have won 21 of their last 26 games, won't continue to roll in high gear. Except for Bob Grim's aching elbow, the team is in line physical condition certainly its lest of the year. MANTLE IS NOW sound of limb and gives no indication he'll let up on his hot batting (.371) and home run '(32) pace. And Yogi Berra is now ready to go. After a four-day rest for a run-, SMILIN' JACK I HAVEN'T HURT ANYDWE WITH AAV DRIVING IT VVAS.MT MY FAULT THAT TME COP WRECKED! BESIDES, HE'S OKAY KloW!

A western Michigan, yacht, the Hilaria, nosed out Wisconsin yawl today to finish first in the Chicago-to-Mackinac Island race, longest fresh-water sailing race in the world. Whil the Hilaria was the first to fin ish, the winner will be determined only after the last of 63 boat still in the Tace crosses the finish lines and handicaps are figured. The Hilaria, owned by Hugh Schaddelee of Grand Rapids, staged a final-day spurt to finish at 3:15.16 (New York time), just a minute and nine seconds ahead of Sabre, the 87-foot yawl owned by Roman Brotx of Sheboygan.

Yogi caught the second game on Sunday against the A's and hit the ball hard three times.

My arms- weren't tired any more, he said arterwara. i was getting the bat around the way 1 used to. Before I got that rest, I was so pooped I couldn't lift my arms." (3) WITH TOM MORGAN taking up 'the bullpen slack for Grim, the Yanks' pitching seems stronger now than at any previous point this year. Mickey Mc-Dermott, Don Larsen and Bob Turley all question marks from the start have showed recent improvement. And.

the Ford-Kucks-Sturdivant-Byrne starting rotation is solid enough. There is no argument that the Yanks don't have a fine working margin. With- 64 games left to play, they could limp at .500 and have a total of 93 victories at the season's end. In order to win, then, Cleveland would have to finish at a .657 clip 44-23. IT IS MORE likelv that.

the champs will go on winning as they have at a .678 pace which would get them 43 more triumphs ar.d a total of 104, highest for the club since the 106 in '39. At this time in the season when they get close enough to World Series money so they can smell it, the usually get tougher.
