Faltering New York Yanks By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Detroit's two man pitching ', staff prepared to make its bold ' challenge for an American league pennant today as the St. Louis Browns dropped into the motor city for a four-game set showing signs of wear and tear after a rough eastern trip. If the Brownies are going- to "blow," the crystal ball gazers have selected this series as the . time for it although Luke Se- well s leaders warped the Tig . ers 11 times in 14 early-season meetings. Detroit fans remember how the Tigers drove on to a flag the last time the Yankees fal tered in 1940 and figured it was time for the worm to turn in their relations with St. Louis if they were going to keep up their rep of winning when New York loses. . Partially balancing the Brownies' big series edge was the fact that the teams met seven times in April and hadn't seen one another since June 25. Since then the Tigers were strengthened by the return of Kick waketieid who is liming .303 to lead the club. Hal Newhouser with a 20' win record and Dizzy Trout with 20-9 have accounted for almost two-thirds of the Detroit victories and Trout did not be gin to get hot until the season neared the halfway mark. New houser topped the Browns twice and lost two but Trout took only one of four. None of the others were able to beat St. Louis. While the Browns and Tigers feud, second-place Boston will be playing the rejuvenated Phil' adelohia A's and the Yankees, still in the race in third place 5 games back, will be in Washington where St. Louis was floored three out of four. Chicago's Cubs gave St. Louis a close scrap but succumbed for the 13th straight time last night in the only major league game played. A Philadelphia at Bos ton day game was- rained out and no other clubs were sched uled. . Teddy Wilks, beaten only by the Giants, stretched his - win i streak to 10 and notched his 13th triumph by beating . the Cubs, 2-1. He allowed only three hits in . topping Claude Passeau. English Wins As Pignatore Disqualified NEW YORK, Aug. 25 (JP) i Clyde English, West Indian lightweight, was knocked down four times and belted out for keeps by Monte Pignatore, New ,York 134-pounder, last night at Fort Hamilton, but English won the fight. Pignatore had English down for one eight-count and three times for nine but became over anxious and knocked him cold after the bell rang ending the second round. Referee Otto Young disquali fied the New Yorker, much to the amusement of 3805 paying , customers and 1000 soldiers. Washington Redskins Open Wiih March Field Tonight LOS ANGELES.

Aug. 25 P) - Johnny Bulla's thrcc-noint Innrl ing with a sizzling 65 put the pressure on a select field of 128 other sharpshooters at the all American open golf tournament today. ine au-ycar-om Bulla, an Eastern Airlines pilot, flew into town from Atlanta and prompt ly wnipped over ram u sium ter's fairways yesterday in e record-tying gait to gain a three-stroke advantage over By ron Nelson, his nearest foe after 18 holes in the open sec tion of tne $42,500 three-Dlv show. Nelson, tourney winner in 1941 and 1942, pulled into the second spot with a 68, dropping Jo-foot putt on the same hole to grab a strategic position be hind the high-flying Bulla. While Bulla was knocking down birdies on seven holes and staying even with par on tne otners, Ken Heilmann, a -St. Louis chemist, swept into the lead with a 70 for the first 18 holes of the amateur division, Heilmann posted his two-un- dor-par for a one-stroke advan tage over John Market, of Read ing, Pa., and Ed Furgol of De troit, Dale Morey of Indianapo lis, the 1943 champion via the match play route, was far back in the field of 26 with a 78.
