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. Greenberg made
two doubles and a single, scored
two runs and stole a base off

Ferriss. 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.
Chisox Win
The White Sox kept the sec
ond place Senators from moving
into a tie for the lead at Chicago,
winning 7 to 3, with an 18-hit
attack.
Lefty Al Smith of the Indians,
shut out the third place Yankees
at Cleveland, 1 to 0.
The cocky Cubs kept rolling
along in the National, making
31 hits in winning two from the
Braves at Boston, 5 to 2 and 3
to 2 in 12 innings.
Reds Shut Out
Dixie Walker's homer provid
ed Hal Grebb the margin for his
first big league shutout as the
Dodgers topped the Reds at
Brooklyn, 1 to 0.
George Dockins of the Cardi
nals also got his first shutout
when he blanked the Giants, 3
to 0, at New York.
The Pirates and Phils traded
shutouts at Philadelphia. Pitts
burgh won the opener, 4 to 0,
on Elwyn Roe's six-hit job. Dick
Mauney scattered eight hits to
win the second game for the
Phils, 5 to 0.

SEATTLE ROUGH
ON FIRST PLACE
E
By United Press
The Seattle Rainiers got in the
first punch last night as they
opened their "private" world
series against the league-leading
Portland Beavers.
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. Errors Kelp
A crowd of 11,150 saw South
paw Carl Fischer hurl the Rain
iers to their victory over Port
land, aided by two official Port
land errors and various other
Beaver miscues.
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. The Beavers thought the
rally in the final frame was nip
ped by a double play, but um
pires ruled a base, runner safe
on third.

IS GREAT CHIP
Goshen, N. Y., Aug. 9 U.R)
The name of Titan Hanover was
added today to the list of out
standing champions of all times.
The three-year-old bay trotter
earned his way into that select
group by winning the Hamble
tonian stakes 'in an unprecedent
ed setting.
His previous victories he
never has known defeat made
him so highly regarded that the
operators of the Good Time
Track barred him from the bet
ting pool for the Kentucky
Derby of harness racing yester
day. Events proved they made
no mistake.
The horse that cost his own
ers, E. Roland Harriman and
C a p t. Elbridge Gerry, only
$3,000 as a yearling in Novem
ber, 1943, won the classic in two
straight heats to make him one
of the best investments in sports
history. His winning share of
the gross purse of $51,048.98,
was $27,608.33. And before put
ting that additional gold into
the hands of his owners, he had
picked up more than $30,000 in
his previous victories.
