Crackers face July home stand as Gulls pull away
By Percy H. Whiting the Crackers must win the majority of 12 home games from July 4 to 16 to close the gap on the surprising Gulls who lead the league. A brutal 28 game stretch begins July 17 with 24 on the road, then 22 straight at home to finish the season. The Pelicans, once a sure top team, slide while Cleveland eyes New Orleans control and Charley Frank’s job hangs in the balance.
