Sports and Re-Ports Baseball fans in this area who remember the pitching of Bobby Shantz when he labored with the Lincoln Athletics, were well pleased with his performance in Tuesday's Ail-Star game. In the one inning he was on the mound, Bob struck out Whitey Lockman, Jackie Robinson, and Stan Mu sial. Little wonder that Mr. Shantz has a season's record of 14 wins and 2 losses. Joe Gifford, ace Nebraska golfer, just missed qualifing for the NCAA golf tourney in Lafayette, Indiana. Joe was just two strokes over the limit to qualify for championship play.

THE LWEUP sBy CHARLES K LASER There is an old baseball adage that says "Any team that is in first place in the major league races on July 4th, will retain that lead and win the pennant." However in reviewing the league standings as of Monday, July 7, we can't go along with the adage even though it has held true in many cases during the past. Consequently we'd like to predict the outcome of the American and National League pennant races as we believe they will end this Sep tember. As far as the National League is concerned, the old adage will probably hold true with Brooklyn holding on to their four and a half game lead all the way to the wire. Although the Giants might possibly come up with another tremendous stretch drive, they are only good enough for a runner-up spot this year The Philadelphia Phillies should wake up enough to climb to the third place spot, but will be far behind the leaders. The St. Louis Cardinals will give the Phils a battle but will land in the fourth place position. The Chicago Cubs should drop to fifth during the scuffle. Cincinnati, Boston, and Pittsburgh will stage an all-oul battle for the cellar spot, but the Pirates should win easily with the Reds in the next-to-last position and the Braves sixth. Over in the American League the race Is much, much tighter. Here we believe the old adage will not hold true. Once the dormant pitching power of the Cleveland Indians comes to life, the Tribe will be a shoo-in for the pennant. Their main competition will come from the steady Chicago White Sox, who should land In the runner-up spot. The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees v-ill have a tight battle for the third place berth, but the "lianks hitting will 'give them the edge. The second division positions will involve another tight race among the Washington Senators, Philadelphia Athletics, St. Louis Browns, and Detroit Tigers. A late season upsurge will carry the Browns into fifth place just a game or two above the early season wonders, the Washington Senators. Philadelphia will lose what steam It had and drop to seventh place. Even a change in managers won't help the Detroit Tigers. Fred Hutchinson will find it takes both pitching and hitting to lift his team from the cellar. Lincoln Honors Fran Nagle, Ex-Huskcr Star A's Business Manager To .
