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.

Phillies broke their losing sirea
at 12 eames by winning the sec

. 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

Sept. 1 with half the margin
they have now the pennant
should be theirs.

New York defeated Philadel
phia twice, 6-1 and 1-0. 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.

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.
The Toledo, O., pro knocked
a birdie putt into the cup on the
last hole for a 277, edging out
Tony Penna, Dayton, O., by two
strokes in the final round of the
72-hole event yesterday at Roll
ing Hills country club.
Penna and Nelson were tied
when they eamo to the final
hole. Nelson teed off first with
a straight drive and hit the
green with a chip shot. Penna
Inst ground by hooking into a
string of trees. He shot over a
bushy fir, his ball landing 10
feet from the cup, and near Nel

Seats, who hurled his team to
a twin shutout victory yester
day over the Sacramento Sol
ons, 6-0, 3-0.
Yielding eight hits in both
games, five in the first ana
three in the second, the veteran
iron-man received a thunderous
ovation from a near-capacity
crowd of 8,638 fans as he set
down the Solon batting order
for 16 successive innings. It was
his fifth shutout in the last six
starts and his 20th win of the
season. The double triumph
gained the Seals a 4-3 series vic
tory. The Los Angeles Angels, Pa

them a 6-1 series triumph. The
Hollywood Stars, in third place,
scored a double victory over
the San Diego Padres, 5-4 and

games to three, while the Seat
tle Rainiers took a pair from
the Oakland Acorns 3-0 and 7-6.
Games this week sent Port
land to San Francisco, Oakland

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,

(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.

The capture climaxed a 27

Capt. Ivan Schoch, Berkeley,

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

trick."
The Germans were so sur
