Tight Hurling Marks Major League Tilts New York, May 9. — (UP) —There was mounting evidence today dial tjje American league is stealing some of the National's thunder as the circuit noted for fine pitching. There has been a great deal of excellent mound work in both circuits this season but moet of it has been in the American. To date there have been 25 games in which the pitcher has doled out four bits or less, 17’of which have been in the American. There have been 16 four-hit games, 11 in the American and five In the National. Three of the four three-hit jobs were in the AmeriCaan, and one of the two two-hitters wag by an American leaguer. Tftere have been three one-hit game already, two in the American and one in the National. Nelson Potter of the Browns was thff latest to turn in a superlative performance, defeating the Washington Senators, 7 to 1. in a three hitter at St. Louis last night. After George Case got an infield hit ip the first inning on which lie eventually scored, Potter held the Senators hitless until the ninth. The Browns got to knuckle-bailer John Nlggeling for three runs in the second, Len Schulte bringing imine two with a double, the third being scored on a wild pitch. Two doubles and an error provided three more runs in the third. In the only other major league game, the Cleveland Indians defeated the league leading Chicago White Sox, 7 to 1. for the first time this year after losing five straight to them. Charley (Red) Embree, who won 19 games with Baltimore in the International league last season, gained his first major league victory after two defeats. He held the Sox to seven scattered hits. Chicago retained its lead by 12 percentage points over the New York Yankees although the teams virtually are tied in games won and lost. The major league pitchers with one hit games are Hal Newhouser of the Tigers, Joe Haynes of the White Sox and Hank Wyse of the Cubs. Yesterday's star: Felix Mackie-

Washington, May 9. —(UP)—American race track operators expected good news from war mobilize!' Fred M. Vinson today at a special press conference. The operators said they were prepared to resume horse racing next week if Vinson sets the date for the end of the racing ban. Tracks throughout the nation were ready for the signa) and most of them are expected to reopen in a week or 10 days. Preparations have been made to run the three top stake races for three-year-old thoroughbreds, the Kentucky Derby at Louisville, the Preakness at Baltimore, and the Belmont Stakes at New York. Although there has been no official indication that Vinson will lift the ban which was imposed by his predecessor, James F. Byrnes, it is considered almost certain that he will do so. Byrnes, shortly before leaving office, promised that the race tracks could be reopened after V-E day. The tentative schedule calls for the running of the Kentucky det;by on June 2 with the Preakness to be run a week later and the Belmont states before the end of the month. Pimlico, scene of the Preakness, would open on May 16 and run until May 25, closing before the derby and opening of the Delaware Park racing on May 29. Pimlico would reopen for one day for the Preakness on June 9. Chicago track officials at a meeting yesterday said that Sportsman’s Park would open the schedule in the mid-west and that all tracks in the area would trim their meetings to offset the reduced number of days available. __ Milwaukee Brewers Take Second Place By -United Press The Milwaukee Brewers were in second place today, one and a half games ibehind the league-leading Louisville Colonels, thanks to a 6-3 win over the Indianapolis Indians. In other games in the American association yesterday, St. Paul took both ends of a double header from Columbus 7-2 and 8-3, Kansas City and Louisville split, the Colonels taking the first game 2-0 and dropping the second 14-11, and Toledo eked out a 6-5 win over Minneapolis.
