(UP) wotii or w natevcr uso posterity wants ot to muke of it, Manager Luke Sewcll of the Browns offered his "pitcher an inning" device for winning ball games. . Sewell isn't so sure the idea would be practical in the long run and that is why he is making the uroadminded offer. But it clicked perfectly last night as he sent a parade of nine pitchers to the mound, each of whom worked an inning in a 3 to 0 war chari ties victory over the Cardinals. The Cards, who have been pound ing National league pitchers ter rifically of late, simply couldn't do a thing, getting only two hits. Right, Left Complicating things even more, Sewcll alternated right and left handed pitchers, starting with Newman (Tax) Shirley, then us ing Sam Zoldak, Pete Appleton, Earl Jones, George Caster, Wel- don West, Sigmund Jakucki, Al Hollingsworth, and Bob Muncrief in succession.. Only two pitchers, Jack Kramer and Nelson Potter failed to sec action. The Cards got their hits off Shirley and Zoldaku in the first two innings. ; Milt Byrnes hit a first innini! homer off Charley (Red) Barrett tjnd one-armed Pete Gray hit a third Inning triple. A crowd of 24.1 13 contributed $35,000. Beali Dodgers At Washington, the thrill of a lifetime came to ona-legged Ben Sheppard, the army air forces Veteran, who pitched in a big league exhibition and got credit for winning It, beating the Brook lyn Dodgers, 4 to 3. Sheppard, , tatting practice pitcher for the Senators, pitched tin scoreless Innings and yielded two runs in the fourth before Roger Wolff and Marino Pierelti relieved him. Jle gave up only five hits. A Crowd of 23,7111 fans paid $22, 700 to see the game, in which Leroy Pfund, Dodger pitcher, dislocated his knee. - The Red Sox lopped the Braves, B to 1 at Boston. Dave Ferriss, rookie s-ensation, pitched the first three innings to hecome the winning pitcher. He gave ,up two hits and fanned two, dis posing of Tommy Holmes, ma jor league leading batter with a soft fly. He decided at the last !minutc not to go through with 'his stunt of pitching one inning left-handed. A crowd of 22,00!) paid in $73,000 to war relief. Foxx Out At Philadelphia, the Phillies counted twice in the ninth to beat the Athletics, 7 to 0, before a slim crowd of 4,1103 who paid M,u30 ,1o se-e the tail-end teams perform. Jimmy Foxx, making his major Jeague debut as a pitcher for the .Phils, was knocked out of the box in the fifth. Victories yesterday gave the American league a record of five tiiumphs in the seven games played.

ODT Insists No World Series To Be Played in 1915 NEW YORK, July 11 (UP) Because the office of defense transportation still insists there will bo "no world series" unless the teams arc from the same city, there was nothing at stake today in the current pennant races but glory. However, that isn't cool ing them off any. Unless baseball executives know something that hasn't been revealed to the general public, the major , leagues will forgot about baseball when they finish their regular seasons Sunday, Sept. 30. Inasmuch as the series in re cent years has been a million dollar financial proposition it may take a lot of forgetting. In the 1044 series for instance, the total receipts including tho rights for broadcasting were $1,000, 122.00. The champion Cardinals split a winner's pot that brought each jlayer $4,020, probably more than a number of them made in salary. The losing Browns picked up $"!,743 apiece. The second place Pirates and Tigers received about $750 per player, the third place Reds and Yankees netted about $500 each and the fourth place Cubs and Red Sox got about $250 per play er. Solons Move Into Third Coast Spot By United Press The Sacramento Solons moved into third place in the Pacific coast league pennant race today after holding the Oakland Acorns to a 10-0 one-hitler last nieht. In the only other PCL game: played yesterday, the Portland ; Eeavers ran their league lead to. four games as they scored a 7-(l victory over the San Francisco Seals in a free-hitting contest. Guy Fletcher, hurling his 15th victory of the season, allowed a scratch single lo Manager Billy Raimondi in the third inning. The Oaks now have gone 33 inn ings without scoring a run and without getting a man as far as third base. The Beavers scored their win ning run on Frank Demarcc's in field hit, Ray Perry s wild throw, Spencer Harris walk and Ted Gullic's long swat into right cen- terfield. The Seals' big inning was the sixth when Willie Enos' pinch home run with a mate on base sent across two unearned runs in the wild frame. Shone and Barton hit homers for the Benvrrs.

That was the fatal mistake made aoout the nautical nifties last season when they were her alded as the hottest thing on a gridiron since the invention of pancakes. Not So Good "Wc don't want to get out the crying towel long before the sea. son begins, yet viewed in the light of the 1044 campaign our football picture is not neatly as fine as some people seem lo view it,'1 said head coach, Cmdr. Os car E. (Swede) Hagberg at An napolis yesterday. He said that the principal ob stacles to a successful season were the heavy turnover in per sonnel, the installation of the fast-breaking "T" formation lo replace the single wing, and the probable increase in the strength of most opponents particularly army. Makes Change Hagberg said that the switch to the "T" formation was made "in order lo fcel the fullest possible benefits out of the capabilities of our buck field candidates." Among the ton flight holdovers on the squad around whom Hag- ncrg is uuiitiing his first team are Captain Dick Duden of Engle wood, N. J., Bobbv Jenk ins nf Talladega, Ala., and Billy Bar ron of Lewisburg, Tenn., all hard hilling bucks; and Jim Carring ton of Riverside, Conn., Ed De maree of Thibodatfc.

U Crande. Ore. Sarazcn To Meet Byron Nelson In First PGA Round Hopes To Slop Record Winniny Streak DAYTON, O., July 11 (UP) Little Gene Sarazen in one final, sentimental fling at big-time golf, today went out to stop the record winning streak of Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., in the opening round of match play in the 27th national P.G.A tournament. Sarazen, a spry little 43-year-old Connecticut squire whose greatest golf is buried in the icc ord books, was just as confident as when he won the first of his three P.G.A. titles back in 1022. He was then a brash kid of 2) from the sidewalks of New York. Ties Revolla "Don't you worry about me," Sarazen said, "you 'just get a good crowd to follow us and I'll take care of Nelson." Nelson yesterday tied Johnny Revolta of Evanston, 111., for medal honors in qualifying play with a 30-hole total of 138 strokes, six under par. The big, powerful Texan did it the way he always does, b yroaring in on the final nine with a 33, three under par, to catch Revolla, the aging Kal ian vho won the 1035 P.G.A. Sarazen had a 147. Six former champions toe off today in the '0 matches which open the 30-holc match play, counting Sarazen, Revolla und Nelson. Tough Match The depending champ, Pvt. Bob Hamilton of Ft. Lews, Wash., who upset Nolso lost year in the fin als, meets Jack Grout of Hins dale, II. Grout, one of the best young pros, is considered a tough match for Hamilton's rusty game. Revolta, whose last great rea son was 10 years ago, meets Frank Kringle of Linden, N. J., in an effort to keep his spirited comeback alive. Another old timer, Denny Shule of Akon, O., 1930 and 1037 P.G.A. champ, shoots against Bainey Clark of hnglcwood, ILolo., in another outstanding match of a veteran against a newcomer. Dick Ghezzi, of Deal, N. J., 1042 P.G.A. winner recently dis charged from the army, matches strokes with Ed Dudley, P.G.A. president from Northfield, N. J., who qualified yesterday with a 147, two strokes over Ghozzi. When roughly handled, toads play dead so thoroughly that their breathing movements are entirely suspended. Attention Sportsmen!

Probably Have to Travel Under Own Power WASHINGTON. July 11 (IIP) The government today banned lh: transportation of race horses or show animals by railroads. It also prohibited their transporta tion by truck operators doing business either as common car riers or on a contract basis. The order was announced by Director J. Monroe Johnson of the office of defense transpor tation. It was issued at his re quest by the interstate com merce commission in order to prevent unnecessary burdens on the transportation system during army redeployment. Effective Now The order is effective at once and upplies to shipment of race horses or show animals in intra state, interstate and foreign com merce. Johnson said the action is nec essary "to expedite the move ment of troopsi material of war and rilian supplies needed for the successful prosecution of the war."
