Nelson Potter, making his first start since he was suspended for alleged use of a wph ball, was the nightcap winner, the Browns coining from behind after spotting the Indians a three-run .lead.

Two walks and a double by Roy Partee gave the Red Sox two runs after two were out in the eighth Inning for a 6-4 decision.

Nine runs In the seventh Inning of the first clinched PreachRoe's victory and five runs In the ' first three Innings of the afterI piece proved enough for Nick Htrlncevlch.

I Today's Sports Parade By JACK CUDDY (Reg. U.S. Rat. Off.) New York, Aug. 7. (UP) Tom Yawkvy, who hag spent more Ilian *4.<><Hi.ooo on the Boston Red Sox during his l{-year quest for an American league pennant, seems to have been stymied again by the fortunes of war. Uncle Hain's impartial hand is reaching for some of Yawkey's stellar p< rformers. This gesture seems seems certain to blast the pennant prospects of the second-place Bosox, best hitting club In the circuit. The loss of big Tex Jliighsoli, alone, might be a mortal blow to the Yawkeymeti whose weakest departmenl Is pitching. Hughson, tall, rlghthanded ace of the mound staff, announced yesterday that he would pitch probably his last game for the duration uguinst the White Hox Wednesday. His draft board has indicated that he will be called to active duty In the navy by Aug. 28. Cecil Carlton Hughson of Kyle Tex, has been the Gold Hox only dependable flinger this season, as I he registered 17 victories against five defeats. He Is tied with Hal Newhouser of the Tigers for the most games won In the league. Newhouser has 17 and six Had manager Joe Cronin other rotators of dependability, chances are the Red Hox now would be well In front of the Ht. Louis Browns, instead of 6'i games behind them. But Cronin < ould not obtain pitching to match the chib's hitting. Joe figured on George Woods. Emmett O’Neill, Yank Terry and Oscar Judd to team with Hughson as starters. But Terry. Woods and O'Neill couldn't get going; and Judd has been bothered all season with a sore arm. As farewells are being readied for Hughson, five other Red Hox await service culls. Second baseman Bobby Doerr, who is lighting for the league's bailing championship. |»assed his military physical examination last week, along with centerflelder la-on Cullierson and catchers Roy Partee and BUI Conroy. Meanwhile, catcher Hal Wagner expects to be called to the navy within a week. He enlisted with Hughson last March. With three catchers apparently service bound, perhaps Cronin, the versatile veteran Inflelder, will be forced to shift his relieflng activities from first In a 3-2 game as the Detroit Tigers won a pair from the Chicago While Sox.

base to backstop. Because of the club’s mound difficulties. owner Yawkey tossed more money into the |m>i last week reportedly about 83o.otui for the purchase of Rex Cecil from the Han Diego Padres of the Pacific coast league, where he had achieved 17 wins against nine losses. He , Is expected to join the Hox this week. If he can do as well against big league hitting as he did on the coast. Rex might make up partially for the loss of Tex. But that's conjectural. Millionaire Yawkey has had his pennant hopes blasted In previous seasons, since purchasing the Red Hox in February. 1933.
