Champions Surge With Vic
tory Streak Detroit
Beaten Cubs Win
New York, Aug. 18 (U.R)
Weldon West, 20-year-old St.
Louis Brown southpaw, pitched
his first complete game of the
season today a two-hit 3 to 1
victory over the New York
Yankees to strengthen the
. hopes of the American league
champions.
St. Louis given little chance
to repeat after a mid-season
slump, dumped the Yankees into
seventh place. Luke Scwell's'
team now has won 10 of its last
12 games. Three of the victories
came over the red-hot Washing
ton Senators, and the last four
over the Yankees.
Today's decisive defeat, in
which only Stirnweiss and Etten
got hits, was Now York's ninth
in a row for the longest losing
streak any Yankee team ever
compiled under Manager Joe
McCarthy.
The victory brought St. Louis
within 6 va games of Detroit,
which fell before Washington,
11 to 5.
Washington now is a game and
a half In back of Detroit. As was
the case yesterday, Detroit er
rors ran up the score. Four bob
bles opened the way for six un
earned Washington runs. Tiger
pitchers, starting with Benton,
walked five men and hit one
batsman and all of them scored.
Roger Wolff gave up 13 hits,
but scattered them.
Cleveland, happy over the
prospective return of Bob Feller,
ran its winning streak to seven
by topping Philadelphia, 7 to 4.
Chicago's White Sox, still an
other 'hot" team, ran up a 16
to 1 victory over Boston for its
sixth win in seven games.
Paul Derringer's steady pitch
ing shepherded the Chicago Cubs
to a 7 to 3 victory over Boston
that stretched the Cub lead over
idle St. Louis to 6', -4 games.
Boston dropped Cincinnati in
a 13 to 10 slugfest in which the
Reds scored five times in the
first inning and Boston scored
nine.
Sal Maglle's three-hit pitching
and a six-run burst in the first
inning carried the New York
Giants to a 6 to 0 win over Pitta
burgh. Mel Ott's two-run homer
was a feature of the big inning.
St. Louis and the Philadelphia
Phils were not scheduled.
San Francisco, Aug. 18 (U.R)
Veteran Jim Brillheart, 42-year-old
San Diego southpaw,
pitched the Padres to a four-hit,
2-1 victory over the San Fran
cisco Seals here this afternoon
before a crowd of 3,500.
iirillheart hooked up in a
mound dual with Skinny
Knowles Pierccy and was master
of the situation throughout. His
only trouble came in the last of
the ninth, when, with two down,
the Seals bunched two hits for
their lone score.

Eddie Bracken Objects To
Large Number, of Seats
For Officers
Honolulu, Aug. 18 U.R)
Hollywood Star Eddie Bracken
said today his USO tour of the
forward area has been cancelled
because he refused to perform at
Saipan, where enlisted men were
denied seats because ot a dis
proportionate allotment of seat
ing space for officers.
Bracken, in an interview wnn
the army newspaper "Stars and
Stripes," said his troupe voted
no show" when marine officers
told him they would decide how
many seats were to be allotted
to enlisted men and officers.
Three more shows were on
Bracken's schedule, but they
were called off without his
knowledge. He first heard of it
when he read it in the Saipan
newspaper.
Bracken, star of several movie
comedies, said the trouble start
ed when a crowd of 14,000 await
ed his performance at Saipan.
"They were sitting all over the
hillside, on the chapel and on
the ground. Smack in the mid
dle of the seats was a large,
empty area, roped off and guard
ed, for officers," Bracken said.
'Col. Richard Cutts, Jr., told
me seats were for late comers.
But I checked the order he is
sued and it said 14 rows were
being saved for officers.
Bracken said he made an an
nouncement from the stage, tell
ing the enlisted men to fill in the
empty seats.
' They all piled in, but another
marine colonel began to remove
them," Bracken said.
The actor announced from the
stage that the enlisted men were
not to be removed from the seats.
If they were, he said, -there
would be no show.
The other colonel came back
stage, Bracken reported, and
told him that this is a military
outpost," and that the men would
be removed to let gentlemen
officers sit."
Bracken said he told the col
onel that if this happened he
would stop the show.
Col. Cutis came backstage
and said: 'Take your show and
get the hell out of here.' The
troupe was packing when a ma
rine lieutenant asked him to con
tinue the show because a large I
