Bartok: Sonata No. I (Adolph Bailer, piano; Yehudi Menuhin, violin; Victor, 8 sides). Composed in 1921, when Bartok's own distinctive style was first beginning to take form, the sonata foreshadows the lyric power and rhythmic force of the great Concerto for Violin (1938).

Silent Bats. It went on like that for four days: good pitching and terrible hitting. Cleveland's brilliant southpaw Rookie Gene Bearden, shutting out the Braves (2-0), only twice let the count go to three balls on any Boston batter.

That ended Cooper's six-week salary squabble with the penny-pinching Cardinals, and it might even boost the Braves into the first division for the first time in eleven years...
...racking up his third win of the summer season, crimson fire bailer Jack Wallace paced himself well, allowing only seven hits while fanning seven men. He issued seven passes, but was in really hot water only once. This was in the ninth inning when Tufts filled the bases with none out, but managed to push across only...
