TWO MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. August 27. 1944 ORXS OF S Lead Cut to Four Games Macks Go Strong; Brook lyn Wins. New York, Aug. 26 (U.R) Frank (Slubby) Overmirc, a lit tle man with big stuff, handed the St. Louis Browns their third shutout In a row, 5 to 0 today, the victory putting Detroit only four games behind the rapidly retreating league leaders. Overmire, who can't even beat five feet, seven inches, In his spiked shoes, got able assist ance from First Baseman Rudy York, the Tigers' late summer slugger, who hit his 14th and 15th homers to account for three of the five Tiger runs. His first blow in the sepond inning gave Overmire, smallest pitcher in the Majors, a work ing margin and the little fellow didn't need any more help. . York drove over the second homer in the third with Miachel (Pinky) Higgins on base and after Slgmund Jakuckl settled down, but it was too late. The 32-year-old fast-pitching rookie, who had shut out the Tigers two times In a row, gave up 10 hits, but might have had a chance had not the Brown batting attack remained' dor rnant. The Browns, shut out in both of their games here, have failed to score in their last 27 innings, having been blanked in their final game at Washington. York, who rarely gets his long range batting eye in focus until into in the season, moved Into a four way tie for the American league home run lead Why not get the most for your money?

Chicago, Aug. 28 (U.R) Georgie Woolf booted Alfred ' Parker's By Jimminy home In 2:03 in the mile and a quarter added American Derby at Wash ington Park today to clip one second off the previous record for the race established by Cav alcade and Whirlaway, making the black colt runner-up for honors in the three-year-old class. An estimated crowd of 23,000 fans witnessed the 34th runnnig of the Derby on a fast track. Despite the fact he was re united with Conn McCreary, the Jockey who rode him in the Ken tucky Derby and the Preakncss, Pensive made only a temporary bid for the upper money bracket. He broke fourth, jumped into third place at the half, but dropped back into fourth place In the stretch and ended in fourth place, seven lengths be hind By Jimminy. The fourth place $2,500 prize he won boosted the total for the Calumet stables this year to $484,250, all-time high. Pensive carried the Calumet colors alone; Miss Kecneland, the farm's other entry, was scratch ed. By Jimminy's record of 2:03 , broke the American Derby mark ; of 2:04 established by Cavalcade in 1934 and equalled by Whirla way In 1941, and was only one' second short of the track record of 2:02 held jointly by Gallant and War Knight. The victory gave Jockey Woolf three consecutive winners In the American Derby. Last year the Canadian-born Woolf rode Askmcnow and the prev ious year he was up on Alsab. Woolf's record of consecutive winners equals that of the great Negro Jockey Isaacs Murphy who rode the first three winners, 1884, 1885 and 1886. Woolf sent By Jimminy to the front immediately after the break, kept him there by run ning smoothly until they hit the stretch, then booted him under the wire with a good six length margin.
