J Hi lis : Vilfe CLINCHES DISTRICT TITLE FILLING CENTER FIELD spot In Jackie Jensen, center, takes advice Browns Forge Into League Lead; Cain, Feller Chuck One-Hitters By UNITED PRESS ' Skinny southpaw Bob Cain's revenge is sweet and complete, but only after he and the Browns had shaded Cleveland's fabulous Bob Feller, 1 to 0 in a double one hitter the most spectacular pitching duel in the major leagues in 35 years. Not since May 2, 1917, when Fred Toney of the Reds and Jim Hippo Vaughn of the Cubs matched no-hitters for nine in nings had two rival pitchers come so close to no-hit immortality in the same game. The Reds won that famous duel of yesteryear, 1 to 0, when they got two hits and scored with the aid of an er ror in the 10th inning. It required the spectacular duel to steal the spotlight from another rstonishlng event: The victory, seventh in eight starts for the Browns, moved them into first place Wednesday night in the American league race. Victory Enough The failure to pitch a no-hitter hardly weighed heavily on Cain's mind. For him,' the victory was enough to make up for the fact that he was the victim of the third no-hitler of Feller's career a 2 to 1 Indian triumph over the Tigers last July 1. Yankee lineup which has Ion been pasture of Joe Dl Maggio, from Yankee Clipper as Casey Stengel listens In, 'International, For Feller, there was the heart breaking thought of what might have been. For little Bob Young's leadoff single in the first inning which rookie left-fielder Jim Fridley misplayed into a triple that led to the game's only run spoiled his bid to become the first pitcher in baseball history to hurl four no-hitters. Feller shares the current record of three no-hitters with Denton (Cy) Idaho Trips Duck Nine Eugene (U.R) University of Oregon dropped its first Pacific Coast Conference Northern Di vision baseball game here Wed nesday as the University of Idaho's Vandals handed the Web foots an 8-6 setback.

Corco ran. Boosts Record Feller, however, increased his major league record for one hitters to 11, three more than Addie Joss, another Cleveland immortal. Cain faced only 12 Indians in the first four innings but lost his nohitter when first - baseman Luke Easter lined a sharp single to right center field to open the fifth inning. Cain struck out seven Indians, including Harry Simpson to end the game, and walked three. Feller struck out five Brown ies and walked two. In the only other games played Wednesday, the Red Sox beat the Yankees, 3 to 1, Giants out slugged the Braves, 9 to 5. COACH NAMED Chehalls, Wash.

Reactions Differ Over Game Result St. Louis (U.R) The first place St. Louis Browns crowed happily Thursday over their de feat of big Bob Feller in a record-breaking pitching duel that saw only one hit tapped out by each team. But the Cleveland Indians, who dropped the 1 to 0 Ihriller to left-hander Bob Cain, were 'in such a nastv mood Wednesday night that Manager Al topez tossed photographers out of the team s dressing room. "I don't want anybody in the dressing room after we lose," Lopez said. Apparently sulking over the defeat by the traditional Ameri can League doormats who thus took the league league Looez angrily told the lensmen, "When we lose you just want to come in here and get our pictures to paste all over the papers." The "Indians boarded a train for Cleveland only 25 minutes after the night contest. Cain exulted in the victory. "I owed this one to Feller. He beat me 2 to 1 last year only by pitching a no-hitter and Bob Lemon had to get a one-hitter to beat me by the same score," he said. Standings COAST LEAGUE W.
