leaders of the Southern Oregon
leosue.
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

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

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. Lipscomb . was eager to
acceDt a return match but Leone
was hesitant about meeting the
burly ex-Hoosier after the pun
ishment he absorbed at Jack's
hands last week.
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

comb meet in their grudge tiff.

top man to meet Jack Kiser,
present llght-henvyweight champ
ot the macule coast.

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.
