BROWNS WIN SEVENTH IN EIGHT TILTS WITH SENATORS

Lowly St. Louis Club Raps Nat Slab Stars Washington Tumbles, 17 to 3, as Athletics Beat Tigers and Move Into Second Place Tie; Jimmy Foxx Clouts Two Homers. By United Preen NEW YORK, June 15.—Walter Johnson’s Washington Senators were snowed under again Tuesday by the St. Louis Browns, 17 to 3. On May 18, just after Bill Kiilefer’s partisians had inflicted four humiliating defeats upon the Senators, the Big Train moaned “St. Louis is our Jonah. We can beat the top-notch clubs, but we are putty In the hands of the lowly Browns. Something must be done; they are spoiling our pennant chances.” Tuesday’s defeat, which allowed Connie Mack’s Athletics to move Into a second-place American League tie w*ih the Senators, marked seven losses for Washington in eight starts this season against St. Louis. In the eight games played, the Browns have converted 101 hits into 56 runs, wjiile the Senators turned 65 hits into 27 runs.

In Tuesday’s slaughter, the Browns pounded three Washington pitchers for twenty-four hits, making rallies of four runs in the third inning, three in the fourth, six in the seventh and three in the eighth. Schulte homercd for the Browns in the third inning and his teammate, Storti, did likewise in the seventh. Pitchers Weaver, Marberry and Ragland were victims of the St. Louis onslaught, while George Blacholder yielded only seven hits to Washington. an n Jimmy Foxx, home run king of the major leagues, blasted out his twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth circuit clouts Tuesday as his Athletics trounced Detroit, 10 to 5. This victory boosted Philadelphia into a second-place tie with Washington. Philadelphia’s slugging first baseman gained two homers on Babe Ruth, and he now leads the Bambino, twenty-five home runs to twenty-one. He is far ahead of Ruth’s record year of 1927, when the Babe drove out sixty homers for the season. . , , „ Jimmy's home runs stimulatea a five-run rally in the fifth inning and a four-run uprising in the seventh.

Schmeling Is 10-9 Choice By United Press NEW YORK, June 15.—Champion Max Schmeling is a 10-to-9 favorite to defeat challenger Jack Sharkey In their fifteen-round title bout at Long Island City Tuesday night. Jack Doyle, Broadway betting commissioner, quoted 3 to 2 against a knockout, 3 to 1 that Schmeling would not knock out Sharkey and 3 to 1 that Sharkey would not knock out Schmeling. He said he expected the 10-to-9 odds to carry the men into the ring, although heavy money placed on either man might change the figures because of the light betting.

Ellis Captures Butler Crown In the final tussle of the Butler university golf tournament, Don Ellis defeated Elbert Gilliom, 7 and 6, to win the 1932 title.

Tribesmen and Blues Open 7-Game Series

BY EDDIE ASH Time* Sport* Editor Eddie Zwilling, the former fly chaser who used to clout the ball over the fence for the Indians in the days before the ball was loaded with rabbit, invaded Perry stadium today with his Kansas City Cowboy Blues for a seven-game series with Emmet McCann’s Indians. The teams have met six times this season and the games were shared, each club winning three. Pilot Zwilling’s pastimers are in fifth place and the Indians sure in third. The Blues were weakened by injuries some time ago, but are showing power again and a lot of excitement is promised during their long stay at the Tribe park. Two tilts were carded this afternoon, the first at 1:30. It was ‘‘boys’ day” at the stadium and all lads under 16 were admitted free. The Thursday and Friday battles will be played at night, the Saturday fray in the afternoon anu the series will close with a second twin bill next Sunday afternoon. a a a While the Indians were idle Tuesday the Columbus Red Birds downed Kansas City, 6 to 4, and ousted the Hoosiers from second place. Crawford and Riggs walloped homers for the Birds. The home run crop continues to mount in the

which Lou Moore qualified for the pole position at the Indianapolis 500-mile grind. The speedy Cummings is anxious to pull through with a victory at Chicago Sunday to beat back the challenges of Howdy Wilcox, Ira Hall, Bob Carey and other newcomers to the big time, whom Wild Bill formerly raced into defeat on the “bull ring” tracks, but who have pushed the Hoosier youth back in their 1932 big league meetings. Fred Frame, Wilcox, Carey, Byron Saulpaugh and many other stars who raced at Indianapolis on Memorial day, are in Sunday’s race at Roby.

# # # Don’t mistake the moaning you hear next week for wind. It will be the baseball pass holders giving vent to anguish over the 10 cents they will be docked under the new federal amusement tax regulations. ft St tt The tail-end Saints are a mysterious outfit. They released pitcher Ace Elliott and he signed with the Philly Nationals. Jimmy Reese, second baseman, was benched for light hitting and the St. Louis Cardinals made an offer and obtained him. Now several big league clubs are bidding for the services of Marty Hopkins, clever Apostle third sacker. Clubs mentioned as interested in Hopkins are Athletics, Browns, Reds and Cubs. It is said Owner Bob Connery is on the point of making a deal and will ask plenty for Marty as a means of balancing the Apostle budget. Hopkins is one orthe best fielding third sackers of A. A. history, and this season has been batting around or above the .300 mark. a an Johny Kroner, owned by the Indians, is playing third for Terre Haute. He was returned by Albany of the Eastern League and the Tots took him on.
