Detroit Hopes Grow Slimmer Br The Associated Press Detroit1! hopes of repeating as American league and world champion were mighty slim today aa the result of a series of night game injuries that sidelined such key men as Center Fielder Hoot Evers, Second Baseman Eddie Mayo and Pitcher Stubby Overmire for '"from 10 days to two weeks." Evers, one of the most promising newcomers to pop into the big show in many a day, appeared well on his way to winning the hard luck crown of 1946 with his second serious injury of the campaign a broken jaw suffered last night in a collision with Mayo chasing a fly ball at Griffith stadium. Mayo Briton Will Win This One LONDON, June 4 P) British fight fans who have watched Englishman after Englishman beaten in a recent disastrous series of international bouts were paying as much as S90 to watch Bruce Woodcock battle Freddie Mills tonight with an Englishman bound to win. Harringay arena's 10,700 seats were sold out and Promoter Jack Solomons rented a nearby grey hound racing stadium, announc ing that a private blow-blow description over a public ad dress system could be available for 40 cents per seat. Solomons previously had re fused to allow a nationwide broadcast by BBC because the payment offered was too low. Woodcock whipped bv Taml Mauriello May 17 and Mills battered by Gus Lesnevich three days before were rated almost even by London sports writers, with Woodcock getting a cau tious nod.

Both Evers and Mayo, who were carried off the field on stretchers and rushed to a Washington hospital, crashed : while running for Dutch Leon-j ard's short fly in the third in ning. Mayo, a key man in the Tiger i infield, had been slowed dowiij by a leg injury but was the , "life" of the ball club and an important factor in their flag chances. Overmire sprained his left hand sliding into second base in the fifth inning. The stubby lefthander left the game Willi i a 4-3 lead that shortly turned into a 7-4 Senator triumph when the Nats scored four runs in the home half of the frame. Ferriss Wins Ninth Not calculated to add any sunshine to the lives of Detroit followers was Boston's double triumph over Chicago's White Sox in which Dave tBoo) Fer riss. sophomore righthander, registered his ninth straight victory as the Red Sox defeat ed Chicago, 6-1. The pale hose were even more helpless In the second game when Joe Dob son earned his sixth triumph with a five-hit, 5-2 verdict. New York's Yankees turned on some old fashioned power 18 hits to annihilate the St. Louis Browns, 12-2. behind Rookie Clarence Marshall. They routed Nelson Potter in a seven- run first inning but even so the Stadium gang lost ground to the Bostonians who stretched their lead to seven games. Indians Divide Cleveland and Philadelphia split a pair at Shibe Park, the Athletics coming back to take the second, 3-2. behind Dick Fowler after losing the opener, 6-5, despite a four-run rally in the last of the ninth.

Portland Pro Gets Open Bid SEATTLE, June 4 VP) With a pair of par 146s, Dave Killen of Olympia and Chuck Congdon of Taooma paced the U. S. open golf tournament's Pacific north west qualifying trials yesterday. Joe Mozel of Portland will take Congdon's spot however, as the latter passed up his oppor tunity to enter. Mosel had 147 for the 38 holes. All are professionals. Top amateur for the day was Dan Simpson of Seattle, bracket ed with professionals Gordon Richards of Seattle and Ben Tucker of Everett at 149. Capt. Bud Haskell. Olvmoia amateur, ran into a freak acci dent soon after the start of play and was forced to withdraw. One under par for the first four holes, he blasted a long iron shot 205 yards to the No. 5 green, but the action gave him a "catch in the neck," for which he required medical treatment.

Eddie Marino, Hostak's ever hopeful manager, has proclaim ed his protege's glass hands are now repaired and since his war service have toughened no end. However, tonight's fight, if it is still called that after the final gong, will do little to prove Hos tak's re-claim to fame If re ports from the San Francisco sports writers run true. Such re ports indicate the once-proudly-hailed Georgetown bomber's op ponent has a chin which should stack up as eggshells against Al's delicate dukes.

The opener starts at 8:30, Epson Favorite Being Ignored LONDON, June 4 (JP) Sir William Cooke's Happy Knight remained a co-favorite today In the betting for the 183rd run ning of the derby at Epson Downs tomorrow but the racing writers were avoiding him like poison ivy. In eight London newspapers, making their final analysis of the classic flat race over a mile and a half, four experts picked the Aga Khan's Khaled, three advised Gulf Stream and one backed Fast and Fair, winner of the recent derby trial stakes. ' The reaction to that verbal boycott of Happy Knight was to ease his odds in yesterday's anti-post call-over at the Vic toria club from 5-to-l to U-to-2, while Gulf Stream dropped to ll-to-2.
