United Press Correspondent
New York, Aug. 5 (U.R The

to fade in the torrid American
league pennant race, produced
evidence today that they are
ready to make a strong come
back, winning a double-header
from the New York Yankees for
their seventh victory in 10
games.
The A's, putting Manager Con
nie Mack off to a fine start in
his Slst year as a major league
manager, got brilliant pitching
in both games. Luke Hamlin held
the Yankees to six hits in win
ning the opener 2 to 1, while
Russ Christopher bettered that
job in the afterpiece with a 2
to 0 shutout in which he gave
only five hits.
The double triumph provided
the A's with a measure of re
.venge against the champions for
upsetting Mack's anniversary
celebration last night, when they
scored a 1 to 0 shutout victory
with a run in the ninth inning.

their usual superb pitching from'
Cecil (Tex) Hughson, defeated
the Senators 6 to 2. Hughson,

run leader by hitting his 14th
with a man on base in the fourth.
1 The Chicago Cubs won their
11th straight game In the Na
tional league, getting 16 hits to
defeat the usually effective Fritz
Ostermneller of the Pittsburgh
Pirates, 7 to 2. Lea Fleming and
Claudo Passeau gave up 11 hits
for the Cubs but were effective
with men on bases, 15 Pittsburgh
players being stranded.
The Brooklyn Dodgers were
extended to 10 innings before

in the winning run. The spunky
' Puerto Rican youngster also tied

BOB FALKENBURG
il
NET TITLE AGAIN
Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 5
(U.R) Pvt. Bob Falkenburg, of
Hollywood, and Herbie (Buddy)
Bchrens of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.,
won the crowns in the 29th
Annual National Junior and
Boys' Tennis championships at
Kalamazoo College today, both
by defeating second-seeded con
tenders in their respective divi
sion. It was the second consecutive
Junior title for the gangling
Falkenburg who repeated a
1943 performance on the Grass
tex courts. However, he came
close to losing the title by slop
py and erratic play. The Holly
wood glamor boy finally
trounced Bernard (Tut) Bartzen
of San Angelo, Tex., In hard
fought sets, 0-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.
Behrens annexed the boys' di
vision title from second-seeded
MacDonald Mathey of Prince
ton, N. J., 6-2, 6 0.
As an army private on leave
from duties at Merced Field,
Calif., 18-year-old Falkenburg
made up for his lack of practice
by playing himself into shape
as the week-long tournament
progressed. In earlier rounds
he was far from the form that
gained him the number 'seven
tennis position .nationally. How
ever, the lanky star looked in
creasingly better and by semi
finals had again regained the
form of a champion.
Falkenburg's final-round play
was poor at the start and he al
lowed Bartzen to jump into a
3-0 lead in the first set. He lost
his long rallies, and he was
passed consistently at the net.
His temper finally got the best
of him as he slugged wildly.
However, he returned in the i
following sets a more collected
court star and as play prog
ressed his shots became increas
ingly more accurate until he
had completely mastered the
faltering southern southpaw.
