After pulling a midget out of a birthday cake to pinch hit, shooting off aerial bombs, organizing an eight - piece piece band out of his players, and putting acrobats on all the bases, there wasn't much left for the new St. Louis Browns' owner to surprise folks with today. The curly-haired Veeck did all that, and then some, yes terday In a weird, laugh jammed celebration of the American league's 50th anni versary. Things got so hilarious that the largest Sportsmans park crowd of the season 18,396 fans hardly minded that the Browns lost both games of a doubleheader to the Tigers, 5 to 2, and 6 to 2. While the aerial bombs ex ploded at regular Intervals between the games, the eight piece band played at homo plate, a hand-balancer per formed at first base. Trampo line artists leaped through their act at second and a jug gler worked at third, and old fashioned cars and cycles were paraded. Max Patkin, the comedian - contortionist coach, staged a jlttcr-bug dance. A huge, seven-foot birth day cake was carried onto the field as the band played "Hap py Birthday." Out of the cake popped a three foot-seven Inch midget decked out In a Browns' uniform with the fraction "" on his back. He was introduced as the last of the real "Brownies" and presented to Manager Znck Taylor. Taylor made immediate use of the midget, sending him up to the plato as a plnch-hltter for lead-off man Frank San der in the first inning of the second game.

Zack reached down In his pocket and came up with an official American league con tract and a acorecard that car ried the midget's name Ed die Gaedel and fraction on the Browns roster. He had given the 27-year-old midget one of the club's four player vacancies. The umpires decided every thing was official and let the midget bat. Bob Cain, the De troit pitcher, was flabbcr ghasted, but he was ordered to pitch to the latest addition to the Browns. He tried to get a pitch in the strike zone, but he couldn't pitch that low. So he walked the midget pinch - hitter on four pitches. The Browns ev entually loaded the bases In the inning, but failed to score. Scoring was the one thing Veeck couldn't pull out of a hat, Dick Collins, Brandeis U. quarterback, received 10 var sity letcrs in three sports at Waltham hifili school.

Sndion War Clubs Sing as Tribe Begins Home Stand By JOHN GftlFFIN (United Press Sports Writer) New ork, Aug. 21 U.R)Just when they were needed most, the Cleveland Indians' long-silent bats began thundering to day in a drive to break up the American league pennant race. That's what manager Al Lo pez has been praying for a long time now that the Tribe hit ters would start to carry their share of the pennant load along with the "big four" pitching staff of Bob Feller, Mike Garcia, Early Wynn, and Bob Lemon. Until now, the Cleveland story has been a pitching story, for the Tribe ranks only as the sixth best hitting team in the loop. But last night the Indians opened an 18-game home stand that they regard as the "golden opportunity" to take charge of the pennant chase. Lopez and Co. figure that they have a chance to open a com fortable lead If they can con tinue their .719 home win nine percentage.

J., Aug. 21 U.K Light heavyweight champion Joey Maxim was grimly eager today for the Wednesday night bout in which he'll defend both ills title and his self esteem. This," explained the hand some boxing master from Cleve land as he wound up training for his title defense against mauling Bob Murphy, "is the key fight of my career." For the first time, Joey is aim ing at a knockout. And he has picked himself a real tough cooklo in Murphy, favored of the blood-thirsty gallery gods. There are two reasons for Maxim's about face. First, al though he is only 29, age al ready Is robbing him of those once-lightning reflexes. Second, his May loss to Ezzard Charles when Joey blew his shot at the heavyweight crown. Until then, Joey had been fairly content. You can't be completely satisfied when box ing is your trade and you are known ns a "fancy Dan," a swift stepping artful craftsman but a "powder puff puncher. Giuseppe Berardlnelli, which is Maxim's real name, was born in Cleveland and all he ever wanted to do was to be a boxer. He started at 12 and at 17 won the Golden Gloves middleweight championship. At 19 he turned professional and then had his clouting coroer checked by a three-year hitch in the army. Back In the ring, he fought often. His chief stock in trade was a rapled-like loft jab and a pair of limber lens.

Only one pitcher in Salem history Bud Brewer of the 1940 team has ever won a score or games in one season. The fans will be hoping to boost the season paid attend ance total beyond 102,946, the record mark established in 1946. An attendance of S145 Is needed Tuesday night to break the record. . That figure might well be reached tonight, what with Johnny Price, undisputedly the greatest acrobat in baseball his tory, scheduled to perform his bag of tricks prior to the game. The Price act gets underway at 8 o'clock. In previous appear ances at Waters park, Price has attracted one of the largest crowds of the season. Salem will be aiming to shat ter a three-game losing streak when tbey take on the Bears. Yakima thumped the Solons three straight in a series at Yakima ending Sunday. Bill Brenner, Yakima man ager, will likely be on the mound for the Bears Tuesday. A special bonus is in store for the 2188th person to pass through the .turnstiles Monday.

The Indians' four homers by Dale Mitchell, Al Rosen, Bob by Avila, and Harry Simpson were half their hit total against Senator pitchers Dick Starr and Sid Hudson. Rosen's was the only one that came with a man on base. The Senators had gotten off to a one-run lead in the first inning against Big Mike Garcia, but the Indians came back with three in the same frame on the Mitchell and Rosen blasts. Gar cia went on to win his 17th game of the year, although he to Defend His Self Esteem the light heavyweight crown from the Britisher. Maxim was happy then, but still not completely satisfied. When you get that close In the fight racket you want the big one, the heavyweight crown. So he got his shot at it, against Charles, and failed. Since then the barbs tossed at his punching ability have started stinging. And Joey ad mits that he has reached the age where he can't much longer be a "fancy Dan" and stay at the top. "At 29, I can't expect to keep up the fast pace I did once," Maxim admitted. "So I've start ed to change my style. I still have a good defense, but rve got to do some punching and punch pretty good. "I have to convince myself I can do it," he said, and added, significantly, "as well as con vince everybody else." Always an exceptional de fensive boxer, aside from a slightly flattened nose Maxim carries virtually no marks of his many bouts. But the marks are on the inside. Joey hasn't yet given up the Idea that he still can win the heavyweight title. He's proud of his boxing ability but he detests the appellation "Fancy Dan." So he is out to keep himself front and center in the popular pursuit of old Jersey Joe Wal cott, whose days as heavyweight king are numbered by his years. And Maxim also wants the crowd in his corner if he gets the big shot once again. That's why he'll turn puncher against Murphy at Madison Square Gar den Wednesday night, gambling WIL Standings (Br Utt AMoetatetf Preji) W. L. Pet. OB.
