Brownies
Split Series
In Boston
St. Louis Heads For More
Fertile Soil After Success
Against Yankees, Braves
By JACK HAND
Associated Press Sports Writer
Luke Sewell had his St. Louis
Browns past their two "crucial"
eastern series today and headed
for Philadelphia and Washing
ton's fertile soil with a comfort
able 61 game lead still intact.
Baseball men had predicted
the Brownies could come home
with their first American league
, flag "in the bag'' if they could
manage a .500 pace on their fi
nal visit to the Atlantic sea
board. Opening in the back yard of
the defending champs in the
Yankee Stadium, St. Louis took
three of four and moved on to
Boston to divide a 4-game set.
The pace was not sensational
but, true to their 1944 gait, was
in the consistent neighborhood
., of .600.
With the Athletics and Sena
tors buried in seventh and eighth
places the Browns had a chance
to fatten their advantage while
Boston, Detroit and Jtfew York
take turns knocking one another
off in their own private feud.
Sewell drew praise for his
skill in shuffling his pitching
staff which " was beginning to
show serious signs of wear and
tear. When Sig Jakucki was
batted out for the second
straight time yesterday, the
Browns' boss was able to come
up with capable relief work
from Tex Shirley and George
Caster without digging into his
reservoir ofVegular starters.
Caster was given the decision
in the Boston finale when Vern
Stephens hit a bases loaded
homer to spark a rally that net
ted a 6-5 win over Bed Barrett.
Detroit called on Dizzy Trout
"and Hal Newhouser in relief of
Stubby Overmire to nose out
Philadelphia in 11 innings, 3-2.
It was the 19th victory for New
houser, the Tigers ace southpaw,
tying him with Trout for most
won.
New York stuck in the race
by downing Chicago, 3-1, when
Bill Zuber surprised with a neat
three-hitter in his first start
since July 22. Cleveland snap
ped a 5-game losing streak but
had to go 12 innings to shade
Washington, 1-0,- on Ken Kelt
ner's single scoring Oris Hockett.
Al Smith of the Tribe and Dutch
Leonard of the Nats each allow.
ed four hits and went all the
way.
Pittsburgh rolled to its ninth
straight, disposing of Boston
. 7:5, on a three-run spurt in the
eisiiiu wui gave Jiavier itescig
no the edge over another relief
er, Ira Hutchinson. Cincinnati
kept pace with the Pirates in a
second-place tie by whipping
New York, 6-3, for the Giants
eigntn successive defeat Tom
Delacruz, making his last start
before going home to -Cuba to
join the service, hung up his
fourth win at Harry Feldman's
expense.
St. Louis drubbed Brooklyn
for the fourth straight time, fi-3
with Teddy Wilks upping his
jcauing win record xo 11-1. Chi
cago captured a 4-1 samo tmm
the Phillies that was cut to 6 in

was the winner over Al Ger-

Horse-shoe pitching may be considered a man's game, but the
WAVES have replaced men for sea duty, consequently they
qualify as horse-shoe pitchers. Hopeful of a ringer is Mary

she misses is Ada White, Sic, another, as she watches her turn

much and careful thought.

divorce at the present time, and
Cary and I are remaining the
fondest of friends.
Grant's comment was:

stand why I have no inclination
