Mc Dowell was little better but he managed to pile up an ad vantage of about eight rounds to one, with one even.

Both the Leathernecks and the sailors have pocketed eight straight wins in their last eight starts and have reached tne pea of efficiency. Coupled with the fact that each player win oe at his best, there is a natural rivalry between the two clubs. Marines Lose One In an early season warm up tussle, the Leathernecks defeat ed the navy team, only to drop a decision a few days later when the organized schedule got under way. This is the only defeat that the Barracks' squad has suf fered in the league, while the sailors are at the top with six wins against no losses. - For the bluejackets, Coach Worthley has given Bob Patter son, former Ohio State league hurler, the. pitching nod. Pat terson is a clever chucker and dependable in the clinches but may be in for trouble when he faces four powerful marine sluggers in Branham, Busch, Myers and West. Branham is hitting .442 in better than 15 games this season and has poled out four home runs. Busch, shortstop, is a place hitter bat ting .397 and is one of the best ball handlers in the circuit. Coach Tom Myers, rightfielder, and Jimmy West, centerfielder, have been hitting the apple for .368 and .340 averages, respec tively, and are usually there when the chips are down. Chapin to Start Hy Chapin, brilliant right hand moundsman for the ma rines, will be faced with a sim ilar chore when he throws to the navy's four top batters, Gas ton, Brown, Patterson and Worthely. Gaston, colorful right fielder for the air station nine, is leading the league in batting with a .545 average. The three other members of the quartet are all hitting well over the .400 mark. In all of his games. Chapin has looked exceptionally good and the same may turn into a pitchers battle. Both clubs hold an amaz'ns runs-per-game aver age and if they start hitting like they have in the past, anything can happen. The pub'ic is cordiallv invited to attend free of charge.

Lipscomb Will Meet Leone Friday Promoter Mack Lillard an nounced this, morning that he had been successful in securing the services of Antone Leone and Jack Lipscomb in the main event on the crunch card Friday night This bout re-matches the two gladiators who mixed it up hot and heavy here last week, with Leone winning the tussle on a fluke.

In the semi-wlndup affair faavo i-aionen, tne durable Finn, .will collide with always popular Ernie Piluso. Both these bouts should be outstanding and tne ciaret is expected to flow freely when Leone and Lips comb meet in their grudge tiff. The opener will be announced tomorrow. Lillard is seeking a top man to meet Jack Kiser, present llght-henvyweight champ ot the macule coast. KOTSORES EAST'S BEST. SATS COACH NEW YORK Coach Joe Lapchick of Brooklyn St. John's calls his sophomore forward Bill Kotsores, the best basket ball player in the east. "How I would have liked to have had him as the fifth man on the Harry Boykoff-Levane- Baxter-Golub team of 18431 He doesn't attract much attention because he does things in a quiet way," says the Old Origi nal Celtic. Fir the fifth straight season a St. John's courtman was chosen the most valuable player in the metropolitan district by New York basketball writers. The young man who'll re ceive the Lt. Frank C. Haggerty Award is Bill Kotsores. ClilETQIIE CONTINUOUS SHOWS DAILY. OPENS 12:30 WED. O THUR. "Darlings of Rhythm" ii Browns Yax Nats Twice; Tigers Win Washington Tumbles Three Full Game Behind Tigers; Bruins Shade Giants, 4-3 By JACK HAND Associated Frees Sports Writer Time is beginning to run out on the "Cinderella Men" from St. Louis in their quest ot a sec ond American league flag but Luke Sewcll's St. Louis Browns are determined to make tilings tough on any would be sue cessors. Washington, who was making menacing motions toward the first place Detroit Tigers was somewhat subdued when the Brownies hit town last night ana ciuhbed the Nats twice. Al Holllngsworth and Tex Shirley, a couple of "has beens" according to the won and lost records, took turns humbling Ossie Bluege's up-and-coming gang that swept through the west at pell-mtll speed to re turn noma a pennant contender. Browns Still Factors Even the Browns in sixth place, 6i games off the pace, still are factors In the wide open flag scramble that gives every club in the circuit, except the Phila delphia A's, at least a hope and prayer of making the grade. The Brownies really spoiled the evening for a turnout of 20,120 spectators, largest Wash ington week nicht crowd of the season, when they beat Johnny Niggeling in the opener, 7-3, and defeated Roger Wollf in the finale, 5-1. Washington fell three full games behind the leaders be cause Detroit emerged from its slumber and whacked the Yan kees, 9-4. Stubby Overmire tamed New York for the Tigers' first triumph of their second eastern invasion but he had some bad moments in the eighth in ning. Red Ruffing, making his first appearance since the 1942 world series, got a pinch single to bring in the first run in a rally that netted four scores. The man who couldn't win and the fellow who couldn't lose seem to have reversed positions in Philadelphia. Bobo Newsom, who lost 12 before entering the win column, earned his second straight decision, 7-1, on a two hitter against Chicago. In the early game Russ Christopher, the A's bell cow, was belted off the hill and handed his fourth successive beating, 6-2. Cleveland put the damper on Boston, 3-2, just when the Red Sox were in a position to slide into third place and a virtual tie for second. Rookie Randy Heflin pitched good enough ball but Pat Seerey s two-run homer In the sixth sealed his doom. Chicago maintained tits four- game advantage in the National by coming from behind in the last of the ninth with two runs and a 4-3 shade over New York's Van Mungo. Paul Gillespie's single was the telling blow, giv ing Reliefer Ray Starr his first success in a Chicago uniform. St Louis clung to second by shutting out the Braves-, 2-0, be hind Harry Brecheen. Sore arm or no, Brecheen tossed his first complete game since May 2 and effectively silenced the Boston jinx. Tom ' Seats, of Brooklyn an other pitcher who hadn't gone the route since May 11, lasted all the way to defeat Pittsburgh, 8-4. Xavier Rescigno, middleman of three Pirate tossers, was charged with the loss. HOW THEY m ssai i 1 Aeanw STAND Br- The Associates PreM - AMERICAN LEAGUZ W. L. Pet.
