Detroit to
Make Bid
For Pennant
' Fans Recall 1940 When
' Tigers Drove On to Catch
v ! 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.

Takes Lead
With Hot 65
Byron Nelson Takes Second
Place With 68; Heilmann
Leads Amateur Division
By L. E. SKELLEY
CHICAGO. 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.
First day leadership for the
field of 27 women who also arc
deciding their all-American
title over the 72-hole route.
went' to Betty Hicks, of Long
Beach, Calif. The far western
star came in with a 78, two over
women's par, to finish a stroke
in front of Phyllis Otto, of At
lantic, Iowa. Lt. Patty Berg, of
the marines, the defending
champ,- turned in an 81 as did
Dot German, of Philadelphia.
In addition to Bulla, seven
other shooters scored 70 or un-
er in the open. They' included
the veteran Gene Sarazen, who
shot his fifth 60 in tournament
play this-season. .
