Climax of Spin The game was the 9-5 drub bing the Browns had suffered at the hands of the Chicago White Sox in Chicago, and climaxed an end over end downhill spin that left the Browns on the books with a record of 16 lick ings in 22 games. On August 18. the Browns were riding high, wide and cocky atop the crest of a seven game lead and that SeDtember 8 defeat shuttled them down Into second place, a game be hind the New York Yankees. After the 9-5 pounding Sewell and his coaches, understandably so of course, were cross as bears who had been poked in the ribs through the bars. They obvious ly were angry at the ho-humish- ness of their charges. In the hotel lobby in Chicago, were other conferences behind the locked door of his room. Sewell Tells 'em Faces were tense, there was general hanging of heads. No dramatics.
