In a McMahon Memorial heat at the Du Quoin State Fair 9000 spectators watched a dispute as Del Miller and Gosling alleged tactical fouls in a race where Ipsola's Ensign won and Meadow Chief finished second. Officials let the results stand despite Berry appealing. The piece also recounts Levi Casey’s path to the 1928 Olympic team and Pete Wallace’s rise in broad jumping.

Detroit Looms As Big Hurdle For Cleveland
Detroit looms as a tough remaining opponent for the Cleveland Indians as they chase the 1952 American League pennant. The Tigers, ninth in the standings, beat Cleveland in previous meetings and could impede ground gained on the Yankees. Al Rosen drove in four runs for Cleveland in a 9-3 win while Hal Newhouser notched his 198th career win in the 4-1 Tigers victory. The pennant race features 27 games left for Cleveland and New York, with Boston closer behind. Brooklyn and Philadelphia also won, keeping pace in the National League and AL battles.
