BROWNS SHUT OUT YANKS, 3-0 FOR 10TH WIN IN Denny Galehouse Flings Six Hitter; White Sox Exe cute Triple Play. New York, Aug. 11 HJ.KI The 1944 Major league season may go down in the books as the year of "hot and cold running baseball" Winning and losing streaks have been the order from the very first week. Wartime person nel is regarded as a major fac tor for the manner in which clubs suddenly strike it hot and begin winning games in bunches. Then, Just as suddenly, the rook ies and upgraded minor league players get jittery over the pace and cool off. . The streakiest club has been the Chicago Cubs, now in a losing slump that has reached four straight, whereas last week they were riding an 11-game winning skein, longest compiled by any team this year. They dropped 13 in a row early in the season, but that series of losses was topped later bv the Brooklyn Dodgers who were defeated 15 straight times on their last western trip. The two longest current streaks remained intact yester day with the St. Louis Browns defeating the Yankees at New York 3 to 0 for their 10th straight. The defeat dropped the Yankees into fourth place. Den ny Galehouse, who got a late start because he worked in an Ohio war plant through the ear ly part of the season, turned in his best game to date, a six-hitter, and gave definite indications he will be a strong factor in the Browns' World Series plans. The Detroit Tigers edged in to third place by winning their seventh straight, defeating the Senators at Washington 3 to 2 In 10 innin?s. Keep Pact The Red Sox stayed six and a half games behind the Browns, winning 2 to 1 over the White Sox at Boston. It was their 14th victory In 16 starts against Chi cago this season. The White Sox engineered a triple play in the fourth when Third Baseman Ralph Hodgins stabbed a liner with the bases filled, stepped on the bag and threw to first base. Cleveland defeated the A's at Philadelphia 5 to 4 when Myril 'Hoag singled home a run in the ninth. Mort Cooper of the Cardinals won his sixth shutout and his 15th victory, beating the Phila delphia Phillies at St. Louis 2 to 0, to increase the team's league lead 18V4 games. The Boston Braves got good pitching from Charley Barrett at Cincinnati to defeat the Reds 2 to 0 for their fourth straight Victory. Brooklyn, which failed to win game on its last western tour, took its second straight at Chi cago, edging the cubs 6 to 4 in the 10th when Pinch Hitter Tom Warren doubled home'two runs. New York Giant pitching was at fault in the Pirates' 10 to 4 de cision at Pittsburgh. RED SOX THIRD SACKER PASSES ARMY PHYSICAL Boston. Aug. 11 (U.P.) The Boston Red Sox expected today to lose the services of Third Baseman Jim Tabor, who passed his pre-inductoin physical exam ination and will be subject to army call within 21 days. Tabor Is the eighth member of the second place Red Sox sched uled to enter the armed forces before the season ends. , TRIPLE LAUNCHING Philadelphia, Aug. 1 1 (U.R5 The 27 000 ton aircraft carrier. Antietam, and the 13-000-ton cruisers, Chicago, and Los An geles, will be launched In a triple ceremony at the Philadel phia Navy Yard, August 20, Rear Adm M. F. Draemel, com mandant of the Fourth Naval District, announced today. Free Boxing Bouts Prevent Absenteeism In Shipyards By Gene Friedman United Press Staff Correspondent Wilmington, Cal., Aug. 11. U.R) An 8.000 gate is pretty good for the average fight card, but down Wilmington way they draw that many for only a two-bout each three rounds card, and the number is kept down to 8,000 only because that's all the people that can see the fights. ui course, the comparison i isn t strictly fair, because the Wilmington fights are free, but on the other hand, when 8,000 people take the time out of their 25-minute lunch periods to watch boxers, who generally don't compare with those in reg ular rings, that's something. The 8,000 people are 8,000 of the California shipyard's 15,000 day shift workers. The place is the California shipyards. Wayne Stewart, recreational director of Calship, was pappa of the brain storm and it was a brainstorm more or less whip ped by the wind of necessity. As is common knowledge, ab senteeism is still a problem, and this problem predominates on Monday. The idea was to find something to induce employes to come to work on Monday, and Stewart did. The ring was purchased by Calship recreation department and the fights got underway. The idea is only three weeks old, but it doesn't look as though anything will Interfere with its continuation. Only two bouts are held each Monday each is a three-round bout there is naturally a limi tation on time. One of the first problems was to keep the workers from quit ting their jobs five or 10 min utes before lunch to get ringside seats. An appeal was made to the workers and the starting time was moved up to seven minutes after the beginning of the lunch period that solved the problem. The bouts are no-decision bouts, generally refereed by referees from the RooseVelt naval base, men with experi ence. The idea is to keep the fights as exhibitions. At first the matches were be tween outside professionals and Cal-shlppers. Gradually the ten dency will be to have bouts with Calshippers only. There is quite a list of applicants, Stewart says, but care is being taken to use only experienced boxers, preferably those who fight some other time during the week. SUPPLY OF.GAME TAGS EXHAUSTED No more applications will be accepted by the Oregon State Game commission for the fol lowing special big game tags: Grant-Baker doe deer; antlerless elk; or Hart Mountain buck and doe deer. As the number of ap plications exceeded the quota of these tags, drawings were held on August 2 to determine the successful applicants. Everyone will be notified of the results of the drawings as fast as the notices can be mailed out' by the commission, and those who are to receive tags will be given ten days from the date of the notice in which to forward the required fees. There are plenty of antelope tags available and these are now being issued in the order appli cations are received. To apply for an antelope tag it is neces sary to forward the fee of $2.50 for a resident or $5 for a non resident, together with informa tion as to the number and kind of hunting license held by the applicant.

Two college girls and an Evanston, 111., matron femi nine stars of many summer cam paigns were in the semi-finals of the Women's Western Ama teur Golf tournament today, shooting for the crown so neatly worn by defending Champion Dorothy Germain, the great match player from Philadel phia. The day's card matches Phyl lis Otto, Omaha, Neb., against Georgia Tainter, Fargo, N. D., in an all-collegian set-to, while the matron, Mrs. H. M. Sims, has the tournament's No. 1 chore of stopping a rampaging titleholder who has won three straight rounds with whirlwind finishes. The Sims - Germain match brings up the old conflict of age vs. youth. Admitting she is "a little over 32," Mrs. Sims' entry into the semi-finals of this 44-year-old tournament climax es a comback after a year's absence from golf. She was Minnesota amateur queen in 1941 when she was living at St. Paul, and during the next two years she gave promise of de- peloping into one of the west ern's top stars. Mother of a 16-months-old girl, Mrs. Sims be- j lieves she Is shooting her "best j golf now." ! Playing under a searing sun"! yesterday, the erstwhile Minne- j sota champion gave a note worthy, demonstration of pres sure golf as she took advantage 1 of the hot and cold play of Peg- ! gy Kirk, Findley, O., to win 1 one-up on the 21st hole. , Riding through on a steady stream of par holes, Mrs. Sims ' gained her semi-finals spot on the 21st when Miss Kirk missed a three-foot putt. MORELLI FOOLS OUT TO LI L Disqualification Is becoming a habit with Tony Morelli, the number one bad character of this grappling circuit. A month ago he fouled out to Paavo Katonen when he bopped the latter over the dome with a pop bottle. Last week he lost to Herb Parks when he scraped a rubber stamp across the Parks eyes. t He came up with a new one in the armory last night, the han dle of a water faucet, which he had taped to his knee disguised as an injury. Facing Jack Lipscomb In one half of a double main event, Morelli employed this weapon to pound Lipscomb in the small of the back until Referee Earl Yoakley tore off the tape and discovered the piece of metal. That was that, and Lipscomb was awarded the match. It was a brawl from start to finish, with Lipscomb taking a fall iu four minutes with a press after punishing Morelli consid erably. Tony took the next tum ble two and a half minutes later with a press, which he set up by pulling Lipscomb to the canvas by his hair. In the other half of the main event, Katonen and Ernie Piluso went to a fall-apiece draw in a sparkling match that brought out about every scientific ma neuver in the book. Katonen, in 16 me iirsi lail with a reverse neck stretch. Seventeen minutes later Piluso used his skull-aching headlock to even the score. In the remaining 27 minutes both tried vainly to take the deciding fall but neither was able to clamp on a pinning hold. Parks and Tex Porter drew in the opener. Parks using a press in the second round for a fall and Porter getting a surfboard for a tumble in the third. E SLATED IN MEET Rye, N. Y..
