ft If' Browns Amaze With Third i Straight Diamond Victory New York (U.R) It was good opening day wisecrack when Brownie Manager Rogers Hornsby said "in order to win 'em all you can't afford to lose the first game," but how much longer are his ex-sad sacks going to keep it up? They were three in a row to the good Friday and right up there at the top with such fast company as the Dodgers and In dians, who also won their first three games. The impressive thing about the Browns is that they've looked sharp all the way. Thurs day ex-Tiger Bob Cain bore down when he had to and gained a nine-hit, 3 to 1 victory over his old mates when Les Moss and rookie Bob Nieman hit succes sive homers in the eighth and ninth to hand Hal Newhousor a tough defeat. The Browns got only five hits but made them count. 17 Hits Each Brooklyn and Cleveland each made 17 hits to win their games Thursday, the Dodgers whipping the Braves, 8 to 2, while the In dians topped the White Sox again, 5 to 3.

Aged Relief Hurler Helps Padres Win San Francisco (U.R) Huge waddle-walking Al Benton, e pappy guy among ball players, was toasted Friday as the best relief pitcher in the Pacific Coast league. The 6-foot, 4-inch righthander, who lived 11 of his 41 years in the major leagues, won the high praise from Frank Lefty O'Doul. O'Doul dared compare Big Al to Ol' Pard Win Ballou, the former Seal "jug" expert who was for many years acclaimed as peer less among the bullpen firemen. Benton worked in his sixth game of the season Thursday night and helped San Diego de cision San Francisco, 10-6, and take over the PCL lead. In his twilight years as a ball player, Benton was turned into a relief pitcher exclusively by O'Doul this year. The move may prove the gem among many U Uoul wisdoms. San Diego nabbed Its half game loop lead at the expense of Los Angeles, which dropped a 4-1 contest to Seattle. In other affairs, Portland won its third in a row from Oakland, 8-3, and Hollywood hammered Sacra mento, 11-3. Portland broke open its game with Oakland in the third, scor ing five runs on two hits, three walks, one hit batsman and an Oak boot. Lyman Linde got into the pitching act in the fourth and kept the puling Acorns suffic iently at bay to warrant the win.
