Yankees Defeat Browns In Only League Contest New York, June 27 —'(UP) —Beating the champion in hie own back yard was no longer a major achievement in the American League today—even the Yankees should do it. There may or may not have been a lot of significance in that 5 to 4 trouncing the Yankees handed the champion (Brownies at St. Louie last night, but the trend-spottere probably could make a lot out of it. iFiret of all. it was the first time in nine games the Yankees had managed to win a game in Sportsman's park. It lent credence io the claims of their supporters that they are now a well-balanced ball club, ready and willing to challenge the leading 'Detroit Tigers for the flag. The victory moved them within a game of the Bengals, who were idle. •On the other;side it provided additional evidence that the Brownies, Cinderella Kids of the 1944 campaign, are about ready to make the return trip from riches to rags. 'Also 'significant was the failure of the Browne, now only a game and a half out of seventh place, to win the close games. Last night’s defeat was their 14th of the season by a one-run margin. They have picked up only five one-run v.ctor•ies. It was the seventh defeat in nine home games for the Browns, while the Yankees, chipper because they are getting off on the right foot on a crucial western road trip, ran up their sixth straight victory. It was victory in more ways than one. For the second straight game it was won by a pitcher who was getting his first decieion of the season. Bill Zuber, a regular last season, hadn’t had a previous win, but he held the Browns to two hits and no runs in the last four innings last night. Previouely, Erie Bonham showed good form in beating the Athletics after dropping five games in a row. So anxious was Zuber to get into the winning column that he drove in the deciding run off relief pitcher Newman (Tex) Shirley in the eighth. The Yankees got off to a 3 to 0 lead against starter Al Hollingsworth, but St. Louis squared accounts with a three run rally in the third. Shirley put them in in front with his second hit and his second run in the fifth, but George Stirnweiss singled with the based loaded to tie it up for the Yankees in the next inning. Stirnweiss boosted his average seven points to .315 with three hits, making him third in the league. The Cincinnati at Boston game in the National was rained out and no others were scheduled. Yesterday’s Star — Pitcher Bill Zuber of the Yankees, who made sure of his first victory of the season by singling in the winning run against the Browns. Kokomo Welcomes Indiana War Hero Rousing Welcome To General Kepner Kokomo, Ind., June 27—'(UP) — Another Indiana war hero, Maj. Gen. William E. Kepner, commander of the Eighth air force, rested today after a rousing welcome home yesterday. Qepner arrived by plane yesterday at Bunker Hill naval air station and was greeted with parades and receptions in Peru, Kokomo and Miami. Thousands of persons crowded Kokomo’s public isquare for a view of the general last night as he rode through downtown streets with his parents, Mr. and Mns. Harvey Kepner of Miami, whom he left at the age of to join the marines. Kepner said that he considered his homecoming celebration “A symbol of welcome, not to me personally, but to my whole command.” He told the crowds that he could not adequately tell them of the great devotion to duty of the young men who represent them in battle. “There never was a time that an American plane turned about and did not go on to ite target,” he said. “If you could have seen those boys go Into their missions with just enough gas to get back home and 10 minutes spare flying time, you would know that Was why there was not enough gasoline for you to drive as much'as you might have wanted to dt home.” Kepner was introduced by Rep. Forest A. Harness, R., Ind., who flew from Washington to the homecoming. Governor Gates spoke at an American Legion reception following the parade and public address.

The boys, Jimmy Rawlings and Ronald Brown, both 10, were brought to their homes yesterday from the camp. They said that they were hiking with other young campers when their supervisor. Robe’rt Moore, decided to take a short cut to get back to camp. Receiving permission to cross one farm, Brown said he did not realize he was on another farm until the group saw farmer Robert Garber leave his tractor and get a shotgun. Garber fired two shots, the trio said. Pellets hit the Rawlings boy in the face and arm. The Brown boy was .not seriously injured. Camp officials who called Garber for questioning said the farmer denied shooting at the group. He said be shot above them to frighten them. An investigation was sought by authorities at the camp through the Kosciusko county prosecutor. Farm Operating Loans To Returned Veterans Indianapolis, June 27 —(UP) — Director Stephen C.
