White Sox And Browns Divide Double Header Cardinals Increase League Margin As Brooklyn Defeated • By United Press) For a while, they thought one of Bill Swlß'ii pitches would knock hie third baseman down. The White Sox third-sacker wasn't playing cut of position rather Swift was having one of the wildest; streaks seen on the diamond this, season. It was the 10th Inning of th* , first game of the Chicago White Sox-St. Louis Browns double-head < er at St. Louis. The score was tied > at 7-all thanks to a five run Chicago rally In the sixth inning. The Browns were at bat. Up to the 10th Swift had been doing well hut at this point he lost all control. He had two strikes on Don (Suiteridge when he unleashed a pitch that missed the plate by a mile. But Gutteridge swung and wound up on first base with a single. The next batter was walked when Swift couldn't locate the platter. Then came Chet Laabs. libit the dirt a couple of times. But the next time he was too slow and he was hit by one of Swift's pitches. That loaded the bases. Up came Verne Stephens. He didn't wait to be walked or hit or have the winning run score on a wild pitch. He swung hard and singled Gutteridge home with the deciding murker. The nightcap was a differe.it story. Buck Hoss kept the Brownu under foot as the White Sox took a 9 to 2 verdict. In other American league games, the Philadelphia Athletics won from the Boston Red Sox. 8 to .1. And the Detroit Tigers took a twilight game from the Cleveland Indians. 7 to 4.

Mel OH Plagued By Weak Pitching Staff Manager Os Giants Still Star Os Team (By United Press) l.uut year about this time, New York's baseball fans held a "Mel Ott day" at the Polo grounds. There won't be any such celo-1 bration this season at least not for a while. Because a year ago, Master Melvin and his Giants were ] the most Hiirprlxlng outfit in the National league. They w, re crowding the leaders, and eventually they finished third behind the Card-1 Inals and D dgers. This season finds them crowding the cellar berth. At any moment. New York may find itself lodged In the National league basement. And i for some reason when a manager's 1 club isn't doing well—no matter j how good he is—people hesitate to ' even lu-k bls way. The strange thing about Mel's ( situation — and he's unique among managers In this respect—to that! he also la the team's leading play-' ,r. What small measure of sue-' cess the Giants have had «o fur. they owe ifTinost entirely to Master M Ivin. Mel has been plagued by the loop's weakest pitching staff. His' fielders have been sloppy, and hk. hitters have shown TltflHance only In spots. Mel has had managerial headaches galore. Hix situatl.n vjuidn’t oe so bad if he weren’t airnosi powerleos to do anything about it. The Giants never had a g<w>d farm system, and with the war they have no means of getting young players. Replace-' ments are nun-exist« nt. Managing the Giants has affected Mel's playing, too. You wouldn't i be far wrong i. , a called him one of the two or three best outfi-ldeni J in the National league. But he

isn't what he used to be. This Is Ott's 18th year In organized baseball—-and his 18th with the Giants. Ever since John McGraw picked him up ax a 16-year-old Ott hax been either In the outfield or at third baee for New York. year he playc-d a full xchedubfor the Giants, and was spry enough to hit 30 home runs. This season he’s sometimes benched hlnwelf to take a muchtveded rest. But every time he ! took himself out of the line-up—- ; he found he had to put himself right back in. Because manager Mel discovered that without player Mel. the Giants suffered. , Ott passed a milestone in his career a short while ago. He hit hk« 45oth home run. Only three men haVe hit more honors than Ott during their lifetime. Bale* t Ruth's total of 714 is tops, of course. Jimmy Foxx circled the bases 519 times. And l»u Gehrig hit 494 out of the park. Ott hax a chance to catch Gehrig. ' and possibly Foxx. That's provld- < Ing he can keep playing for another season or two. Although he's ' only 34 years old. the cares of man- . aging are beginning to make theinselvts felt. i But as long as Mel Is good enough to win a ball game the Givnts once In a while. he'U stay in the line-up. And the Giants can be mighty thankful they have him around. o Senators, Indians Win League Games The Renatins defeated the Red Sox. 16-2 and the Indian* downed the Athletics. 11-7.

"Then." says Baillie, "you start the long wait in the ward room."' Some of the beys play softball to All in the time, others sit around reading Stars and Stripes but most of them huddle around a dinky radio to catch'the first word from their pals upstairs. Says Baillie. “Presently the radio comes alive. You recognize the voices of several y ung gentlemen with whom you lunched yesterday.” No one breathes in the ward room for several minutes they are quiet during the long pauses in tile radio cult vernation. Finally. Baillie hears the order to turn home and the tension relaxes. Later the planes begin reappearing and kids with the Insignia of colonels and majors pile out of the great ships and accept the congratulations of their friends. Baillie tmkx one if he's all in: "No,” says the boy. “I could go on another mission right away."
