The Sox got no better than a split in their doubleheader with Cleveland yesterday, but the signs of rejuvenation were there. The baseball bugs of Beason street could get nothing but joy from the four-hit performance of Char ley Stobbs as the Sox took the second game, 2 to 1. And even in the Cleveland 4 to 2 victory in the first game there was con solation in the fact that winless Jack Kramer gave up a respec-able respec-able seven hits and went the full distance for the first time since May 16. Clouts Two Homers Verne Stephens, who leads the American league in home runs (23) and runs batted in (93), clouted two four baggers in the afternoon. The second broke up the nightcap with victory when he ended a 1-1 tie as the first batter in the Red Sox ninth. Early Wynn pitched the Indians to victory in the opener and his homer in the eighth broke up a 2.-2 deadlock. Mickey Vernon drove in two runs with a double in the sixth to create that tie, and then he rapped in the last tally with a single in the eighth fol-. lowing the Wynn homer. A six-hit pitching job by Vic Rasehi gave the New York Yankees Yank-ees a 2 to 1 first game win over the Chicago White Sox. Joe DiMaggio Di-Maggio decided the issue with a homer, his sixth, in the seventh. The Sox retaliated with a 14-hit barrage in the second game to win, 7 to 3. Two-Run Homer Paul Campbell's four-run homer hom-er in the second was the backbone of Detroit's 8 to 0 first game win over Philadelphia, and this same Campbell singled with the bases loaded in the 11th inning of the nightcap for a 5 to 4 Tiger triumph tri-umph and a sweep of the twin bill. The St. Louis Browns likewise won both ends of a "header," whipping Washington. 15 to 8 and 7 to 4. Both times the Browns came from behind. The Dodgers held their scant lis game lead 4n the National league race. They beat the Cubs, 4 to 3, and the second-place St. Louis Cardinals walloped, the Giants, 10 to 1. In both cases, those were first games of scheduled sched-uled doubleheaders. And in both cases the nightcaps were rained out Returns to Majors Luis Olmo, back from Mexican league exile, led off the ninth inning with a home run for the Dodger triumph. It appeared for a while that the old Johnny Schmitz jinx had the Brooklyns in tow again, for he held them scoreless until the eighth. Then pinch-hitter Roy Campanella homered with Tommy Brown on base. An-error, a single, and an infield out added a third run in that inning to tie thecore at 3-3. The Cardinals blasted the Giants helpless with 13 hits. Red Schoendienst Schoen-dienst and Eddie Kazak homered during the melee. " The Braves split with the Reds, losing 3 to 2 in the second after winning the opener, 5 to 4. The Pirates downed the Phils, 2 to 1. Rain halted it In the fifth and postponed the second game. Yesterday's star Paul Campbell Camp-bell of Detroit, who hit a grand slam homer in the first game and singled in the winning run in the second against Philadelphia.

Appointment of the committee, composed of nine men, was another an-other step by the NCAA toward restricting post-season contests. The NCAA has viewed with disapproval dis-approval certain "charity" games from which most of the proceeds have gone to the promoters. The new committee a members are: Horace Renegar, Tulane uni versity; Bernie Moore, commis sioner of the Southeastern conference; con-ference; Robert J. Kane, athletic director of Cornell university; William Murray, athletic director and coach at the University of Delaware; Edmund Cameron, Duke university athletic director; Prof. C. E. Southern, faculty rep resentative of Arizona State col lege; Jess Neely, Rice institute athletic director and coach: Prof. Walter W. Kraft, University of Oklahoma faculty representa tive; Victor O. Schmidt, commis sioner of the Pacific Coast con ference. To Set Up Standards Kenneth (Tug) Wilson, NCAA secretary-treasurer, said the committee, com-mittee, to be known as the "bowl games committee," will set up standards and criteria covering promotion, management and sponsorship spon-sorship of post-season games in which the NCAA's 390 universities and colleges will be permitted to participate. The committee's recommendations, recommenda-tions, however, must be submitted to the NCAA convention in New York Jan. 13-14 for approval. The commitee, headed by Schmidt, will meet here Aug. 13 and 14 to draw up its report. The NCAA said its aim is to establish standards for the conduct con-duct of bowl and other post-season games, and to prescribe that its members cannot participate in games which fail to meet the standards. Timps Battle Cavemen Tonight In Crucial Tilt AMERICAN FORK Top spot in the Industrial league's second half pennant chase will be at stake tonight, when the American Fork Cavemen and Provo Timps battle at the A. F. ball park. The game will start at 8:15 p. m. For this crucial battle, Manager Man-ager Don Overly of the Cavemen is likely to call on big Al "Nig" Tate, his ace righthander, despite the fact Tate pitched two innings against Bingham Friday night. Manager Glen Berge of the Timps probably will counter with Kenny Morgan, the league s strike-out leader, although it is Dossible he might call on work horse Marion Wankier, who hurled hurl-ed the Timps to an 8-3 victory over Helper Friday night. At the present time, American Fork is leading the league with three straight victories. The Timns are a half game behind with two victories and no defeats. Provo City Net Tourney Opens The annual Provo City tennis tourney opened this morning and before the day is over several of the matches in the men's singles division will have been played.

The Sports Parade Luis Olmo Puts In Dodgers Run By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK, July 18 U.f The surging St. Louis Cardinals were expected to profit most from the recent reinstatement of Mexican Mex-ican league jumpers but the front running Brooklyn Dodgers happily hap-pily counted one game of repatriation repatri-ation profit today and looked forward for-ward eagerly to more. The Cards got a shot in their aging biceps when Max Lanier, Lou Klein and Fred Martin returned re-turned to the Redbird fold. Virtually overlooked in the reception re-ception raves was a rugged young gent named Luis Rodriguiz Olmo. who returned to Flatbush as non- Charles Says He Doesn't Feel Like Yorld's Champion NEW YORK, July 18 (U.R) Ez- ,zard Charles admitted today that although he has national boxing association recognition he doesn't! class himself as heavyweight champion of the world. I ! "How does it feel to be heavv-l 'weight champion?" the muscular j Cincinnati clouter repeated as he! 'encircled his slender waist with! a massive silver belt, set with diamonds and rubies. More Satisfaction I j '"I don't know. I got more satisfaction satis-faction out of winning the! Golden Gloves. "I don't feel like champion because be-cause too many people are talking talk-ing about other fighters. When I beat ttre rest of them I'll probably prob-ably feel different." ! It was an honest admission as ihe donned the fabulous Police Gazette belt, emblematic of the heavyweight title, and po-ed for pictures to be sent to his fans It is his now. But he acted like a man trying it on for size For Ezzard fingered the roll call of the mighty etched on its flashing plates the names of Sul'ivan Corbett, Fitzsimmons. Jeffrie; and the others who held it almost al-most as if in apology to those legendary gladiators of the past. To Tackle Lesnevirh Two men stand between Charles Char-les and a feeling of championship completeness Gus Lesnevich and Lee Savold. He'll tackle Lesnevich Les-nevich on Aug. 10 and, later, probably be matched with the winner of the London bout between be-tween Savold and Bruce Woodcock. Wood-cock. "If I can win those two I might feel different," he said! soberly. "And I'm not making ah. rash claims, because anybody any-body can beat you If they hit! you right." That took him back to the Wal- cott fight, one in which he was criticized for not knocking out old Jersey Joe when he had the aging veteran in trouble. Charles wouldn't talk about his failure to satiate the customers' lust for action but you could see that he wasn't too satisfied even though his plan of evasive battle carried hi ti to victory.

At Ebbets field yesterday he poured his 190 pounds into a pitch for a home run which downed the Chicago Cubs, 4 to 3. There was nothing unusual in it, to this confident clouter, that it came in the ninth inning and thus won the ball game. Plays In Venetuela He had been in shape from playing ball in Venezuela when he reported to the Dodgers. And since then he has rapped out 12 hits in 27 times at bat which is a nifty average of .444. The Dodger brain trust didn't do a lot of shouting when Luis! came back. But it didn't take them long to find a spot for' the 29-year-old outfielder who can move like a startled deer, throw with the accuracy of a rifle and hit the long ball with the best of them. They needed his right hand power, and Luis wasn't bashful about admitting that he had it or proving it, either. Hit .328 In 1939 With Wilson in the North Carolina Caro-lina league Luis hit .328 in 1939 and .350 in 1940, which took him up to Richmond in the Piedmont league. In 1941, Olmo was the loop's most valuable player with a 3.11 mark and the next season led the league with .337. Then came a Dodger tryout and a trip to Montreal, lmo hit .315 there in 89 games and finished up with the parent club where he batted .303. The next two seasons he hit 258 and .313 and then it was off to the Mexican league. Now he is back again, as good, if not better, than ever. He proved that yesterday.

The Pacific coast league leaders lead-ers went to the capital city for a six-game series last week and were lucky to snatch two victories from the inhospitable Sacs.
