Chicago Cubs Win Twice To Increase Lead New York, Aug. 9.—(UP)—The “a<t st. Louis Browns were in the last act today of one of baseball’s most doleful dramas. They were the major league team that couldn’t stand success. Always Hie poor ‘‘country cousins” of the American league, they became the "one-year wonders” of 1944 by winning their only pennant. Now, just about a year from the time, they apparently have given up on the 1915 race by selling players to the two hottest contenders to succeed them. Washington and Detroit. The Tigers picked up pitcher G. Caster, who was their most reliable relief pitcher in the 1914 campaign, while Washington obtained keg-legged outfielder Mike Kreevich, the only regular on the Brownie squad last year who hit above .1100. That neither lived up to expectations this year undoubtedly prompted their sale, but it is hardly likely that the Browns would have swung the deals had they felt they had a chance to remain in | contention. Currently they are in seventh place, nine games out of the lead.

The Browns struck a new low last night when they fell two games behind the sixth place Red Sox. losing, 5 to 4, in 10 innings to the last place Athletics at St. Louis. Hal Peck won th? game with r. homer. The A’h made 17 hits but left a lot of men on base. The pace-setting Tigers split a double header with the Red Sox in which the league’s two top pitchers were bumped. Boston’s Dave Ferri&s, bidding for his 19th victory, suffered his fifth defeat instead. losing the opener, 5 to 2, mainly because of ex-army captain Hank Greenberg's hitting. Greenberg made two doubles anil a single, ecored two runs and stole a base off Ferriss. In the second game, Hal Newhouser failed in a bid for his ISth win, but wasn’t charged with the 12-inning 7 to 4 Tiger, defeat because he had been taken out for pinch hitter Zeb Eaton, who sent the game into extra innings with a homer in the ninth. The Red Sox went after pitchers Walter Wilson and Art Houtteman to score three runs in the 12th. .litn Wilson, Red Sox pitcher, was carried off the field in the 10th when a drive by Greenberg hit him in the head. He was in a serious condition. The White Sox kept the second

flare Senators from moving into a tie for the lead at Chicago', winning, 7 to 3, with an 18-hit attack. It was Chicago’s sixth victory in seven games, and was achieved through the steady side-arm pitching of Earl Caldwell. Oris Hockett hit four singles and a double. Lefty Al Smith of the Indians, shut out the third place Yankees at Cleveland, 1 to 0, and batted in the game's only run when he doubled off Ernie Bonham to score Felix Mackiewicz. Th*' cocky Cubs kept rolling along in the National, making 31 hits in winning two from the Braves at Boston, 5 to 2 and 3 to 2 in 12 innings. Bill Nicholson hit a homer, a double and a single in the first game as Ray Prim held the Braves to five blows. Hank Wyse gained his 17th victory in the second game when Andy Pafko doubled and Lennie Merullo singled in the 12th. Phil Cavarelta, bidding for the league batting lead, made six hits in 10 tries, but pace setter Tommy Holmes got four in nine to boost his mark, too. Dixie Walker's homer provided Hal Gregg the margin for his first big league shutout as the Dodgers topped the Reds at Brooklyn. 1 to 0. It was Gregg’s 15th victory and fifth in a row. He gave up five hits and veteran Vernon Kennedy allowed but four in losing. George Dockins of the Cardinals also got his first shutout when he blanked the Giants, 3 to 0, at New York. Two runs in the first on a walk and three singles started Van Lingle Mungo off to defeat even though he struck out eight Red Bi i ds.

The Pirates and Phils traded shutouts at Philadelphia. Pittsburgh won the opener, 4 to 0, on Elwyn Roe’s six-hit job. Dick Mauney scattered eight hits to win the second game for the Phils, 5 to 0. Yesterday’s star —Phil Cavaretta of the Cubs whose six hits in 10 tries boosted his batting average six points to 363, second best in the league. LEADING BATSMEN National League Player and Club G.

O Today's Sports Parade I By Jack Cuddy Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) ' | O 0

Rheims, France, Aug. 9—(UP) t —This French champagne city 1 where the German surrender was signed is the ‘‘most beautiful foxhole in Europe for G. 1. Joes,” it was made plain to visitors today. Within the short space of three months, the army has provided sports and recreation facilities for enlisted men rarely equalled in American cities of this size. However, since most of these facilities are stlrictlyofrlthq “dogfaces,” the much-overlooked officers have to restrict their recreational activities largely to studying the production of champagne at eight different plants. The brass hats squiring five American sports writers through Europe, insisted that the scribes should survey the enlisted men’s recreational project. The sports writers protested in vain that they had officers’ rank and should concentrate their activities on behalf of the champagne. The disagreement resulted in a compromise wherein the entire party broke up and made separate ( visits to the G. I. "coney islands” • set up in various parts of the city. The attractions include swimming pools, dancing pavillions, picnic ■ grounds, and various other "side shows.” For the athletically inclined there is a quarter mile running i track and a circular red brick boxing center, “Le Cirque” where fights are held every Friday night, ( just as at Madison Square Gar- . den in New York. The boxing pa- I villion seats about 3,000 and the service men have to take turns to decide which shall get to go. The facilities are a little more f commodious at the huge concrete "Stade Velodrome” where as many

as 90,000 can watch motorcycle ' races, track meets and football games. The writers who managed to ' broaden their education with “clan- ( destine” visits to the Pommery , champagne caverns, finally decided , after several visits that they out- . spokenly envied the “G. I.’s.” Nevertheless they emphasized their ap- 1 preciation of the chance to learn | about the making of chamagne in 1 11 mile-long caverns more than 100 feet below the earth’s surface. There, more than eight million bottles of the “old bubbly" are tin-1 dergoing the fiVe year aging process despite Pommery's loss of more than five million bottles to , the German army of occupation. No wonder so many of the natives of Rheims went "under- ] ground” during the occupation. __o < I ‘Earthy Coals* ’ The first certain reference to mln-' .■ eral coal was made by the Greek , philosopher Theophrastus, about 300 B. C. In his writings he refers to "earthy” c.Als which kindle like 1 wooden coa's.
