Tigers Beat Browns Twice By Shutouts New York, May 7 —(UP)—The Detroit Tigers, sporting an odd combination of tightwad twirling and a “hit or miss" batting order, were responsible today for a new wartime shortage — scoreboard zeros. It’s either feast or famine for the Bengals. who generally. spend their time shutting out the opposition or getting shut out. Yesterday it was the opposition that got horse-collared —twice. Lefty Hal Newhouser blanked the champion St. Louis Browns with just one hit to win, 3 to 0, and in the second game, Alton Benton won his fourth straight game and his second shutout, 1 to 0. Pinning ►heir pennant hbpes on such superlative pitching the Tigers are going to become strong favorites if they can get a little more zing in their batting. In 1 nine victories to date, they have turned in five shutouts. But there’s a darker side that has manager Steve O'Neill fretting. The Tigers themselves have been shut out thrice in the five games they have lost and in the other two defeats they made only one run each time. Tight pitching highlighted oth- i er games. At Boston, rookie Dave Ferris of the Red Sox proved his sensational debut last week was no fluke by blanking the Yankees, 5 to fl, for his second straight shutout He scattered seven hits and made two himself. Hank Borowy turned the tables for New York, winning the nightcap, 2 to 0. on a five-hit job that reduced his earned run average to .50 per game for four victories. The White Sox took a firmer hold on first place at. Chicago, beating the Indians twice, 3 to 2, and 6 to 4. Pitcher Ed Lopat gained the first victory when Oris Hockett singled home the doub-1 ling Wally Moses in the eighth. Emil (Dutch) Leonard, back after being rejected from military service, pitched a three-hitter at Washington, beating the Athletics, 2 to 0. after Philadelphia #dn the opener, 3 to 2. to break a Six-game losing streak. Although he gave up 12 hits, Russ Christopher went the route for his fourth Victory in the opener. The Giants and Dodgers (of all teams) were one-two in the National league to create a metropolitan monopoly atop the standings. The Giants beat the Braves, 4 to 3, and tied them 1-all at New York in a seven inning second game, called because of rain. The amazing Dodgers, tabbed as certain second division timber, took two at Philadelphia, 7 to 5. and 10 to 7. Outfielder Luis Olmo got four hits in each game, including two doubles and a homer, rcreW MMOSEDEEKa Tonight & Tuesday In Gorgeous Technicolor! “THUNDERHEAD, SON OF FLICKA” Roddy McDowell, Preston Foster!

| Today s Sports Parade By JACK CUDDY Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) O O New York, May 7. -(UP) —Little Mel Ott. popular manager and right fielder of the Giants, was changing from ball togs to civvies in his office. He had about as much privacy us a show-window manikin. The basebull writers wanted to know what he thought about the National league pennant race, now that the opening phase of the campaign was compiled. Modest Mel said, ”1 can tell you more about this race after we play the western clubs. Yea, we’ve done all right against tile other eastern clubs. We’re leading the league, and I'm convinced that our club is improved, considerably over last season. But I expect rough going when tile western outfits begin moving in on us Tuesday. Cincinnati tackles us first.” Ott was in excellent spirits. His Giants had just won the opener of , a Sunday double-header from the i Braves, thanks to ninth-inning I home runs by Phil Weintraub and ' "Sehnozz” Lombardi. And tain had ■ washed out the nightcap, but not | before Johnny Rucker had stretched his hitting streak to 17 straight garnets. Olt was pleased witli tile Giants' performances against the Braves, whom he tabbed the most improve i club in the cast. Including Sunday's victory, the Ottmen have beaten Boston six times in seven contests. Against all eastern opposition, the New Yorkers have won 12 and lost* four. This is much better than last season, when the Giants registered only eight victories and nine defeats in the first phase of play. Manager Mel continued, “for me personally, the big difference be- [ tween the two seasons is that 1 know what I’ve got this year. Last season I didn’t know that. I had to do a lot of experimenting with new players, never knowing what to expect. Now I know what I've ' got." He grinned wryly and added, “but I don't know yet what those western clubs have.” < The diminutive, brown-haired i pilot emphasized that any impress- ' ions he might have formed of the * western outfits were based merely on what he had read in the papers. The cardinals would be tough again, despite the loss of Stan Musial and Walker Conner. The Cubs were off to the kind of a start I one would expect from a good club, and they were getting better pitching that last season. Pittsburgh was having temporary tough luck, and was a fair stronger outfit than its early showing indicated. “As for Cincinnati." he said. "Hie Rids I are always tough—they've alwavs I got good pitching." Where were tile Giants most improved ? "Our pitching seems much better." lie explained, “Feldman, Mungo and young Hansen are a big | help. And Ace Adams has done i fine relief work except in one game : against Brooklyn. Another important factor is Lombardi's improvement. ie reported for training on | time, very unusual tor him. And ‘ he’s’in good physical condition for' tin first time in several seasons. 1 Also Rucker lias started like a bail . of fire. In addition to his hitting, 1 he’s been playing, a grand game in i the outfield — making plays he' couldn’t even attempt last season. O’n. I almost forgot our infield. Those three youngsters — Reyes, Kerr attd Hausmann are really clicking now. Last year our infield play lacked speed and certainly.” 1 Toledo And Columbus Win Doubleheaders t By United Press The Toledo Mudhens took two I 5-4 decisions from the St. Paul> Saints yesterday while the Col’.im-i bus Redhens took both ends of a i doubleheader from the Minneapolis I Millers, winning the first game 13-21 and taking the nightcap 7-6. In other American Association! games, Indianapolis took one from ; Kansas City 12-7 and then dropped j tile final, 4-1. and Milwaukee split i a doubleheader with Louisville, I winning the first 11-9 and losing the second 4-3.
