By CARL LUNDQUIST NEW YORK, Aug. 29 (UP) In 1944 the Browns won the American league pennant because they could whip , the Tigers; in 1945 the banner may go to the Tigers because they can beat the Biowns. Maybe it is revenge that moti vates the Tigers, but so far this season they have done better against the Browns than any other club in the league. They won their 13th game in 17 starts with the Browns last night and they did it easily, Hal Newhouser pitching his 21st triumph at St. Louis. Lutt year St. Louis won 13 of 22 games, with Detroit. . . Gets Lead It was an important game for Detroit to win, coming after three straight losses to the nondescript Indians. Moreover, it cooled off the Biowns who had swept back into the pennant picture with 19 victories in 24 games. Newhouser got off to a 3 to 0 lead in the first inning on Roy Cullenbine's throe run homer. In the third inning Hank Greenberg and Bob Maier made it 7 to 0 with a pair of two-run round trip wallops. . Senators Win The victory ' kept Detroit a game and a half ahead of Wash ington which put on a late drive to top the last place Athletics at Philadelphia, 6 to 5. Rick Ferrell won the game in the ninth with his first homer of the year. The rapidly rejuvenating Yan kees won their fifth straight game lo stay in contention, beat ing Boston at New York, 8 to 7. Johnny Lazor, Eddie Lake and Lamar NewSome hit round trip pers for the Red Sox to account for five runs. Feller Wins Bobby Feller won his second straight game since leaving the navy, coasting to an 8 to 2 vie- TODAY THAT wear-defying toughness in Wolverine Shell lloi-sehides is mighty important these days. It means, first of all, months and miles of money-saving extra wear for you. It also means that you and millions of others won't need work shoes nearly so often and the limited supply will go much farther. But don't forget that Wolverines are not onlv tough and wear resist ant but they're also soft as buckskin and flexible as bamboo they even dry out that way after soaking. That means a world of extra comfort so vou can work longer work harder and do more without tiring. See us, get the facts. SHELL. HQRSJGHIOE WORK SHOES TROTTER'S By JACR CUDDY United Press Correspondent BERLIN, Aug. 29. (UP) The Red army of Russia, which has concentrated on mass athletic spectacles plus soccer, now is pre paring to take up track and field sports and may compete in the next Olympics, according to Col.

Ehz arov is an important and respect ed official in the allied districts of Berlin as well as in the Rus sian, where this reporter had to obtain two passes in order to meet him on the third floor of the large, gray Russian "kommand atura" building in the devastated downtown area. Entering a big room, simply but impressive fur nished and with dark-blue cur tains over the French windows, there could immediately be seen at the far end a large picture of Josef Stalin, Elizarov sat under neath it at a large table covered with blue cloth.' This man, nearly six feet tall and wel-built, rose wooden-faced as this reporter entered, accom panied by an interpreter, Sgt. Is rael Idelsohn of. Detroit, Elizrov wore a khaki uniform with red and gold epaulets and three stars. The interpreter explained the nature of the visit and Elizrov suddenly smiled and said "sports." Whereupon he motioned us to seats and began a genial conver sation through the interpreter. I explained that the people of the United States knew little about Russian sports and conse quently wondered whether t h e Russians would compete, for the first time, in the Olympics. "I have not been home for so long that I have an indefinite knowledge regarding the Olym pics," Elizarov said. "However, I do know that the army is pre paring to take up track and field in which it is arranging to com pete with the Americans, British and Flench in the Olympic sta dium here next September. "It is my purely personal opin ion that Russia will compete in the next Olympics if meanwhile our athletes demonstrate ability to. make fair showings, overcom ing our lack of previous experience."
