TWO MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE BROWNIES DEFEAT TRIBE TWICE 10 Sewell's Club Heads East With Six and Half Game Lead; Cubs Stopped. New York, Aug. 7 OJ.R) The St. Louis Browns headed east today to begin their last, and certainly most important, intersection trio of the campaign with a six and a half game leaa over the Boston Hcd Sox and riding the crest of an eight game winning streak, the only skein of any consequence to survive week-end play. . Tn the National league the Pittsburgh Pirates halted the 11 came winning skein ol me t-ni cago Cubs and the Philadelphia Phillies broke their losing sirea at 12 eames by winning the sec ond game of a doublehcadcr from the New York Giants. . The coming road trip, It was generally conceded, will make or break the Browns In their quest for their first American league pennant. If the Missourl ans can re-enter St. Louis on Sept. 1 with half the margin they have now the pennant should be theirs. Numerologlsts might have made something of yesterday's twin bill against Cleveland. The figure six certainly proved lucky for 'the Browns and they won, 0 6 and 6-4 with six run rallies In the the sixth innings of each game and Increased their league lead to six and a half games their longest of the year. Tigers To 4th The Detroit Tigers moved into fourth spot In tho junior circuit by winning a pair from the Chi cago White Sox, 10-3 and 3-1.

Johnny Lindell homered in each game for the Yankees to spark the team offensively and his second circuit clout spoiled a four hit effort for Jess Flores. Boston and Washington split, i both coming from behind to win in the late innings. The Nats counted twice in the ninth In ning of the first to gain a 3-2 edge. Two walked and a double by Roy Partoe gave the Red Sox two runs after two were out in the eighth Inning for a 5-4 de cision. The Pirates weren't fooling when they ended Chicago's winning streak by taking two games, 13-5 and 5-4. Nine runs In the seventh Inning of the first clinched Preacher Roe's victory and five runs In the first three Innings of the afterpiece proved enough for Nick Strincevlch. The double loss moved the Cubs back Into the second divi sion, a single percentage point behind the New York Giants who split with the Phillies. Harry Feldman regained his winning stride In the first game and pitched the Giants to a 6-2 triumph, his ninth win of the season. But fnnaaeipnia came out of Its slump in the nightcap when three home runs, one each by Ted Cicslak, Mclvin Shea and Coaker Trlplett, proved enough of a working margin for Bill Lee's six-hitter to stand up for a 3-1 win.

WILL AID STARS Chicago, Aug. 7 (U.R) One of the youngest coaching veter ans In the football business, Henry Frnda of Tulsa Univer sity, has been named to take an assistant coaching post along side the Inveterate Alvin (Bo) McMIUIn of Indiana to prepare the 1044 All Stars for their game with the Chicago Bears, Aug. 30, It was announced to day. Head man of Tulsa Univer sity football for the past three years, Frnka boosted the Gold en Hurricanes into the national gridiron spotlight with bowl teams and All Americans. Two of his greatest stars will follow their coach to the All Star camp at Northwestern: Lt. Glenn Dobbs, who led the 1943 Stars to victory over the Washington Redskins, 27-7, and Ellis Jones, one-arm guard of the 1042 Hur ricanes. BAKSI BATTLES SAVOLD TONIGHT Chicago, Aug. 7 (U.R) A rough and ready young bruiser from the western Pennsylvania coal fields, Joe Haksi, will make his bid for a lasting victory over Lee Snvold, the exploslve-flsted Slav from Patterson, N. J. to night in a lOround affair billed for the "world's civilian heavy weight championship". Promoter Jack Kcnrns, the old doctor who acquired per manent fame and temporary fortune as Jack Dempscy's man ager, has matched the two heavyweights for a "rubber" bout at Wrlgley Field. Kearns predicted the bout would attract approximately 14,000 paying customers, gate of about $60,000, phis some 8, 000 service men and women who will be admitted free. Ote Mall mount Want Ada. l'iaiaiiiarnM!3 Dial 2123 Company a rz nn m sT E a 1 a lv W I Tom Yawkey Stymied Again As Draft Threatens Stars By Jack Cuddy United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Aug. 7. (U.R) Tom Yawkey, who has spent.more than $4,000,000 on the Boston Red Sox during his 12-year quest for an American league pennant, seems to have been stymied again by the fortunes of war. Uncle Sam's impartial hand is ) reaching for some of Yawkey's. stellar performers. This gesture seems certain to blast the pen nant prospects of the second place Bosox, best hitting club In the circuit. The loss of big Tex Hughson, alone, might be a mortal blow to the Yawkeymen whose weak est department Is pitching. Hughson, tall, right-handed ace of the mound staff, announced yesterday that he would pitch probably his last game for the duration against the White Sox Wednesday. His draft board has Indicated that he will be called to active duty in the navy by Aug. 28. Cecil Carlton Hughson of Kyle, Tex. has been the Gold Six only dependable flinger this season, as he registered 17 vic tories against five defeats. He is tied with Hal Newhouser of the Tigers for the most games won in the league. Newhouser has 17 and six. Had Manager Joe Cron in other rotators of dependabil ity, chances are the Red Sox now would be well in front of the St. Louis Browns, Instead of 6V4 games behind them. But Cronin could .ot obtain pitching to match the club's hitting. Joe figured on George Woods, Em mett O'Neill, Yank Terry and Oscar Judd to team with Hugh son as starters. But Terry, Woods and O'Neill couldn't get going; and Judd has been both ered all season with a -ore arm. As farewells are being readied for Hughson, five other Red Sox await service calls. Second Base man Bobby Doerr, who is fight ing for the league's battling j championship, passed his mili-j tary physical examination last week, along with Centerfielder Leon Culberson and Catchers Roy Partee and Bill Conroy. Meanwhile, Catcher Hal Wagner expects to be called to the navy within a week. He enlisted with Hughson last March. With three catchers apparently se r v i c e bound,' perhaps Cronin, the versatile veteran Infielder, will be forced to shift his rcliefing activities from first base to back stop. Beverly Hills, Calif.. Aug. 7 (U.R) Byron Nelson pocketed the top prize money of the $9,000 Beverly Hills Open Golf tournament today and headed for Spokane, Wash., to try his hand at the National PGA tour nament with more of the na tion's top-flight links' kings.

(U.R) The long-ball hitters were the decided favorites today as more than 162 of the nation's best women golfers led by Defend ing Champion Dorothy Germain of Philadelphia teed off for the 18-hole qualifying medal round of the 44th annual women's western amateur championship. Playing over the sprawling Onwentsia course, the low 32 medalists of today's round will be paired for match play in the championship flight while the remnants of the original field will be placed in subsidiary brackets according to scores.

ALL-STARS, 20-2 Fl Hank Dlugokeckl, who was just about as unhittable as his name is unpronounceable, flung and belted the Marine Air Base Wingers from Corvallis to a 20 to 2 victory over the Medford Camp White league All-Stars at the fairgrounds park Sunday aft ernoon to give his team a clean sweep in the two-tilt series. The Wingers grabbed Saturday night's fraoos, 9 to 5. The well-built southpaw, prop erty of the Cleveland Indians, had the locals completely hand cuffed with his fireball which he simp'.y poured down the slot for five whiffs and which was nicked for only six blows, three of them "cheap" sun-field safe ties. And the guy could hit, too. As a matter of fact, he struck the healthiest blow seen at the park this season a 360-foot clout over the Commercial Finance sign In right-centerfield with the bags loaded. Dlugokecki's grand slam homer was the first to be cwatted out of the enclosure this year. While the left-hander was shackling All-Star offense, his mates were combing no less than four of our flingers for 18 belts, including five triples and a dou ble in addition to Dlugokecki's round-tripper. Steve Crippen started on the All-Star mound and, with a sore flipper, gave up nine runs, seven hits and six walks in less than three frames. That settled the Is sue right there. Ted Bergold, who elbowed six plus heats Saturday eve, took over with two gone in the third and lasted until the sixth, when the Wingers staged their biggest Inning, good for eight tallies. In this stanza 13 men went to the plate, with First Baseman Aberle getting a triple and single. Bergold was relieved by Don Safford with none out in that inning, but he couldn't get the side retired and Harold Lange was called In from left field to finally squelch the conflagration. Lange hurled hitless and runless ball in the seventh and eighth but was finally found for three tallies in the ninth. The All-Stars' first run came in the fourth when Lange reached first on an error, Dave Otte singled cleanly to right and the pair pulled a double steal, Lange counting. In the ninth Brocker doubled to right, DiRushlo singled to right-center and Brocker tallied on another double steal. For the All-Stars, DiRushlo got two hits and Paul Freer, Quality RECAPPING "A" Grade Rubber On Your Mm. a aro 6.00-16 $7.00 T" Drlv In today! Let u Inspect your Mitt thoroughly.

(U.R) John Murray Burriss, re turning home after making funeral arrangements for his mother-in-law, today learned that his wife had been pushed from a seventh story window by their son, who then plunged after her. Despite protests from horror- stricken neighbors who watched the tragedy, Dudley Burriss, 30, struggled with his elderly moth er in the open window and then shoved her over the sill. He then stepped to the window and leaped out. "He s going to throw me out the window. Help!" witnesses said Mrs. Burress screamed. As his mother shouted "Don't do it." Burriss broke her grasp on the sill and her body hurtled to the ground. Mrs. Burriss' mother died Sat urday. The elder Burriss told police that several weeks ago his son had urged Mrs. Burriss to join him in a suicide pact because both had been in ill health. FREAK ACCIDENT Chicago, Aug. 7.

(U.R) One well placed shot by an American sniper permitted American forces to capture the important town of Mayenne todav at amnll cost. The capture climaxed a 27 mile infantry drive which hpoan yesterday near Fougeres and pushed eastward closer to Paris than any previous American movement. Capt. Ivan Schoch, Berkeley, Cal., who led reconnaissance units Into the town said a bridge which had to be cross had been under observation by American snipers for nearly an hour when the Germans decided to blow it up. "A Nazi ducked but of building and tried to run over to the bridge" Schoch said. "One of our riflemen knocked him off. When we crossed the bridge later we found tons of explo sives, all fused and ready to be set off. That one shot did the trick." The Germans were so sur prised, dozens of them were killed or captured when they tried to enter the town later, never dreaming the Americans were In possession.
