Thus, the two clubs start all over In their quest for the flap, tor the Browns, their first in history. and for the Tigers, their first since 1910. Potter's exhibition, his best of the season, netted him his l*tb victory, the Browns, their sixth straight and ninth out of their last II starts since opening their final home stand.

The Browns insured the victory with scores in the seventh and eighth innings, the last off Francis (liedl Barrett. Huss Christopher, ace ot the Athletics mound staff, limited the Tigers to four hits in helping the Browns climb the ladder. The As right-hander outpitcbed Rufe Gentry In winning his 13th decision. Both clubs scored in the i second inning and Philadelphia picked up its winning margin in the eighth when Irv Ball doubled to open lie- frame and c ame home I on Ford Garrison's single. The New York Yankees took advantage of the situation to pick up a game and a half on the Bengals and draw within three games of the pace-setters by winning a pair from the Chicago White Sox. 3 1 in the 12-inning opener, and 5 4 in the nightcap A single by George Stirnwefs*. a triple by John Undell ami a double by Nick Btten in the third overtime inning gave .Mel Queen his margin of victory in the opener. Walt DuIdel allowed the Sox 10 hits in winning the finale and was supported by Hershel Martin who hit two homers to account for all the Yankee runs.

Card Infield Rates Above Series Foes Rated Better Than Browns Or Tigers (Following Is the first of a series of three stories comparing the St Muis Cardinals and their probable world series opponent.! By LEO H. PETERSON. Ciiited Press Sports Editor New York. Sept. 26 —(CPl—Until a month ago. the St. Louis Cardinals had lived up to their advance 1944 billing as the only ball club in the major leagues at pre-war strength. They were running away with the national league pennant and baseball men were aayI ing that it wouldn't make much difference which club represented the American league-that ft was going to be a Cardinal year. But event* since Sept. 1 have changed the picture. The Cardinals. plagued by Injuries and inferior pitching, have been stumbling around with only 10 victories out of 26 games thia month. One o.' the victories clinched their third straight pennant, but their pace haa been far below that which the Detroit Tigers and St. Muis Browns have been setting in their neck and neck race for the American league title. Now. it look* like the winner of the stretch battle in the American league will go Into world series a* the "hot club" and the early odds of 5 to 2 which were quoted on the Cardinals may drop as low as 3 to 2 before the opening game Oct. 4. The nod still goes to the "Cardinal* in all-around strength and experience. and the latter usually nays its biggest dividends when the chips are down. The Cards are veterans of world series warfare. The Browns and Tigers have only a few performers who have been through that pressure. That experience may pay off the 1 most in the infield and no matter which team wins the American' h-ague title, the Cahllnals ra’e the I nod in that department. Ray Handers at first. Einil Verhan at second. Martin Marion at short and George Kurowski at third give the Card* the best infield In the major league*. The quartet has been setting fielding records all year and the bats of Hander*. Kurowskl and Marion have played a big part in the Ht. Mui* success. The Tigers and Browns also have | infield hitting power but they lack the all-around fielding finesse of the Red Birds, Rudy York at fir*’ and Pinky Higgins at third give the Tigers long distance hitting power while Eddie Mayo at second has been sparking the Tiger* lioth afield and at bat. Joe Hoover at shortstop I* no* Marion, but he Is an adequate flelder although weak offensively The Browns, too, have Infield hitting power with Vernon Htephen* leading the way from hla shortstop post. He is leading the Ainer-

han league with runs ba'led In and rates the edge over Marion in the stickwork department. He is no’ Marlon in the Held, but he s uihml enough. At first lhe Browns have George McQulnn, a flashy flelder and a clutch hitter Don Gu'teridge at second Is the Browns Pepper man and -Mark Christman has developed Into a dependable third baseman. But during their recent losing streak th’’ Brown infield showed sieve-like quantities which would spell disaster again*', the speed boy* of Billy Southworth As far as infleW reserves ate concerned, the Cardinals, too. hold an edge with George Fallon and Deb Garms.
