SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' MAJOR LEAGUE ball clubs, the American League yesterday and the National League squads today, have moved into the last "and "'short half" of their season's schedules, the crucial August "drive, when in most cases, pennants are won and World Series eberths are decided. It might still take them well into September Sto settle this year's first-place standings, but it could happen | before very long--like within two or three weeks. Los Angeles «Dodgers are apt to run away and hide on the rest of the field, Snot that they have such a big lead, although four full games *is comfortable--but it must be remembered that not only do the »Giants, Redlegs, Pirates and the Cards have to win the majority Sof their remaining games with the Dodgers BUT even that will 'not do them too much good, if these same clubs claw each «other to ribbons while the Dodgers are feasting on the second "division team. In the American League, following Cleveland's *victory over Los Angeles yesterday, it looks as if the chances efor an All-L.A. World Series are gone. The high-flying Angels "were shot down by the Indians and Yankees won in Washington, seven without Mickey Mantle. It's like a long, stake race with «each club taking a run at the leaders for a while and then drop- 'ping back again. Now if Dodgers and Yankees can hold off their challengers and still have a little extra left for the stretch «drive--then they're in--like Flynn. : BRIGHT BITS:--Oshawa UAW Midgets and Ajax are playing =a Legion Baseball game tonight at Kinsmen Stadium, with a 7.30 o'clock start.
