Doleful Browns Give Up American Loop Flag Race New York, Aug. 9 (U.R) The tad St. Louis Browns were in the last act today of one of base ball's most doleful dramas. They were the major league team that couldn't stand success. Always the poor "country cou lins" of the American league, they became the "one-year won ders" of 1944 by winning their only pennant. Now, just about a irear from the time, they appar ently have given up on the 1945 race by selling players to the two hottest contenders to suc ceed them, Washington and De troit. The Tigers picked up Pitcher George Caster, who was their most reliable relief pitcher in the 1344 campaign, while Wash ington obtained keg-legged out fielde. Mike Kreevich, the only regular on the Brownie squad last year who hit above .300. A's Beat Browns The Browns struck a new low last night when they fell two games behind the sixth place Red Sox, losing, 5 to 4, in 10 innings to the last place Ath letics at St. Louis. Hal Peck won thd game with a homer. The pace-setting Tigers split a double header with the Red So.t in which the league's two top pitchers were bumped. Bos ton's Dave Ferriss, bidding for his 19th victory, suffered his fifth defeat instead, losing the opener, 5 to 2, mainly because of ex-army Captain Hank Green berg's hitting.

In the second game, Hal Newhouser failed in a bid for his 18th win, but wasn't charged with the 12-innlng 7 to 4 Tiger defeat because he had been taken out for Pinch Hitter Zeb Eaton, who sent the game into extra innings with a homer in the ninth. The Red Sox went after pitchers Walter Wilson and Art Houtteman to score three runs in the 12th. Jim Wilson, Red Sox pitcher, was carried off the field in t'..j loth when a drive by Greenberg hit him in the head. He was in a serious condition.

Faced with the necessity of winning at least five of the seven games in the series if they hope to reduce the Beavers' long lead, the Rainiers spanked out a 6-1 conquest in the opener to cut the Portland advantage to seven games. San Francisco Seals outlasted the Oakland Acorns to cop an 12-11 marathon and tie for fourth place in the Pacific Coast league standings; Sacramento eked out a 5-4 decision over San Diego to enhance its third-place position, and the Los Angeles Angels and Hollywood Stars split a twin bill, 5-2 for the Angels in the first, 4-3 for the Stars in the sec ond.

Shortstop Johnny O'Neil scor ed Portland's lone run in the third when he singled and was batted home by Frank Shone. Seattle unloosed a barrage of hits to pick up two in the fourth, another in the fifth and three more in the disputed ninth' in ning.
