Plenty of Lip, Lots of Speed

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 2.-You ignore Louis Norman Newsom so long and then you've got him his just due. He can outtalk any player in the ma jors for money, marbles or chalk. And in his spare time Newsom is quite a pitcher. Last year with the Browns and Tigers he notched another 20. But, this, his 10th season in the majors, promised to be his greatest. He reeled off his 11th straight triumph yesterday by pitching Detroit to a 3-1 win over the White Sox

Lost Only to Browns

can Just to give

Newsom hasn't lost since his old teammates, the Browns, beat him, 5-1. opening day. He has beaten every club except the Red Sox, whom he hasn't worked against In the other dav American League games the Athletics hammered out a 9-1 victory over the Red Sox and the Yanks plastered an R-4 defeat on the Senators. Frank Haves led the A's attack with two homers and two singles for a perfect day. Red Ruffing, for the first time this season won his second game in a row, when he triumphed over the Senators’ Ken Chase, each allowing ten hits The St. Louis Browns slashed the league lead of Cleveland to one game last night with a 2-1 win behind Elden Auker’s eight-hit pitching.

Reds’ Lead Trimmed to

The Reds had their National League lead trimmed to half a game when they lost to the Cardinals, 3-2 and the Dodgers nosed out the Phillies, 4-3. The Giants moved up to within

{a game and a half of first place by

taking over the Bees, 7-1. Melton pitched a 6-hitter 7th victory. Pittsburgh tied the score in the ninth on Vipce DiMaggio's homer and beat the Cubs in the tenth, 4-3.
