PACE EIGHT Tigers Host Feared in Flag Drive Bengals Creep Within Two Game at Tanks by Beating Chicago White Sox 6-0 TENNANT RACE AT A GLANCE By The Associated rr.ss Gamei To L. Pet.

That appeared to be Detroit's success formula lociay as uic us ers crept to within two games of the American league-leading Yankees. On paper the race was still be ' tween New York and St. Louis, separated by only a half game, but Steve O'Neill's Bengals were feared most by the three other contenders. The pride of Minooka, Pa., had been criticized by some sources all season for "overworking" the strong armed pair, but the box scores continued to give the answers on the right side of the ledger. It was Hal Newhouser's turn to take up the burden last night, and the 23-year-old Detroit-born southpaw did his job with a six hit shutout over Chicago, 6-0. Even so, when the lefty issued his only pass in an unsteady seventh inning start, Dizzy Trout voluntarily jumped up and start ed throwing in the bullpen.- Joe Haynes was the White Sox loser as Newhouser earned his 23rd decision. . With the bulk of the double headers out of the way, it was probable that the pair would do most of the work in the 23 re maining games, eight ot wnicn were with Cleveland. Twenty five games won appeared .to be within easy reach of each. All other contenders were idle yesterday so the Tigers gained a half length on the field. St. Louis found solace forilosing the lead in the return of Bob Mun crief, sore-armed righthander who had won 12 games up to August 5 but failed to go the route in his last four starts. A test of relief duty Labor Day showed the flipper had im proved. The Yankees, Boston and Browns were idle again today as Detroit wound up its season bus iness with the White Sox. St. Louis opens its last road trip Thursday in a five-game visit to Chicago, and New York and Bos ton meet four times, starting Friday. Mbrt Cooper and Bucky Walters blossomed forth as the National league's first 20-game" winners as the St. Louis Cards and Cincinnati took turns divid ing 4-0 shutouts. Cooper out pointed Tom- Delacruz on a six hit effort- in the opener, but Walters came back to match Cooper and beat Lanier in the finale. : AMEBICA.N LEAGUE New York St Louis Detroit Boston i Cleveland ..

Jr-fLvf NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (V) Rash prediction: College football this season, broadly speaking, will be as good this fall as it was in 1943 because of the num ber of- athletes returning to school after being ' discharged from the armed forces and the navy men returning from fleet duty. . . Nearly every roster to hit tins desk lists a few of them. . . . Dick (Tiptoe) Triptow, who has signed oft the DePaul U bas ketball court by Scout Jack Shce han of the Cubs, is rated the most improved baseball player in the Appalachian league this season. . . . Fight Manager Al Weill is off for a vacation in California, taking Pedro Hernandez . and Jimmy Hatched alone for a few scraps that will pay the expenses. PRE-SEASON DRILL Al Michaels, Penn State's backfield coach, was more than unusually downcast when he heard that Fullback Bill Abro mitis had been appointed to the naval academy and his fellow coaches took occasion to rib Al about his tear-dripping tenden cies. . . . But head-man Bob Hig gins put a halt to such levity. . . . "Let Mike alone," he ordered. "Don't you know the first game is only a few weeks away. He's practicing worrying." TIME TO RETIRE ' Pvt. Bob Montgomery, the lightweight champ, was referee ing a camp bout at Keeslei- field, Miss., last week when a very tired boxer dropped to the can vas. . . . Bob raised his arm to start the count, but the fallen gladiator remarked: "No use countin' Mister Montgomery. I ain't goin' to get up." Intlekofer Slips From Coast League Hurling Throne LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6 (JPh Johnny Intlekofer's Pacific Coast league pitching leadership was interrupted last week as the Hol lywood flinger was passed by Manny Salvo of Oakland and Cleme Dreisewerd, former Sac ramentan now with the Boston Red Sox. This happened by virtue of Salvo's two victories of the week and Intlekofer's loss of the only game he pitched. Dreisewerd's record, of course, was unaltered. - Frankie Dasso of San Diego nas registered zyj striKeouts to lead the parade in this department. Burlesque Staged by Coast Clubs It's All In Fun For Seals And Oaks As Umpires Fail To Show Up; Oaks Win 8-7 Bv The AuociaUd Prtit The San Francisco and Oak land baseball teams of the Pa cific Coast league staged a burlesque of the national pastime last nicht with about the only serious item being the final score: Oakland 8, San Francisco 7. The same started with Joe Sprinz of the Seals and Gilly Campbell of Oakland acting as umDires when the official arbit ers failed to show up for reasons not made clear to the fans. In the third lnninK a wan named Virgil Taylor, wearing tnc reg ulation blue serge suit, was draft ed from the stands and he took over calling the balls and strikes for the remainder ot the game before a sympathetic audience. Sprinz and Campbell continued tn officiate at the bases. The lead chanced hands with monotonous regularity while both teams piled up unearned runs and errors. oaRiano scorea three in the first after First Baseman Willie Enos failed to trv for a sure double killing. and from there on the lead al' ternatcd until the eighth when tne sen is went to pieces wiui three errors, allowing two runs and losing the game. The result dropped San Fran rlson into second place tie with idle Portland while Los Angeles was moving into a 10-game lead by defeating Hollywood, 10 to 7, in another- loosely played game. The Angels piled up five unearnea runs in me iniru in ning to take a 6-1 lead and added two for the clincher in the fourth. The Stars tried a come- hark with five tallies- in tne seventh and one in the eighth. Major League Leaders Bv The Associated Press NATIONAL LEAGUE Batting Walker, Brooklyn, 360.

This break brought about a deadlock between "A" and "H," neither team having lost a game, and set the stage for the playoff. "A" company's star hurler, Cpl. Casimir Lewandoski, was not available to start the contest, pushing PFC Andrew Walters in as starting pitcher. This was Walters first start for his team, and his wildness kept him in con tinuous trouble.
