NEW YORK, June 23 ~—Dissatisfied with the. comparative ‘anonymity

of second place despite memories of a far lowlier station in secent years, the Washington Senators take a double shot at the New ¥ork: Yankees

today in a twin bill that may: erage the Yankees’ two-game: lead in the

American league.

ex. Hughson, Boston ace, hurled the Red Sox into a tie with Cleveland for third place with a 7-1 victory ‘over the Philadelphia Athletics. Hughson ‘gave up only five hits over the route while the Sox were hammering Russ Christopher and Bert udinski for 11, including Eddie ke’s two-run homer in the secd. Salvage 5-3 Decision

The Chicago White Sox turned Don Gutteridge’s smoking liner into a double-play with the bases "full and one out in the ninth inning at 8t. Louis to salvage a 5-3 decision over. the Browns that gave Johnny Humphries his fifth victory. Thurman Tucker led a 12-hit Chicago assault on three St. Louis pitchers, while "Harlond Clift paced the losers with a homer. A scheduled game between Cleveland and Detroit in the latter city was postponed because of race riots, which inspired a ban against crowds. The Brooklyn Dodgers picked up a half game on the idle St. Louis Cardinals in the National league by dropping the New York Giants, 7-3, by the grace of five big runs in the ‘sixth. inning. after two were out. Kirby Higbe, although yielding to a pinch-hitter .in the sixth, was cred-

hy ited with the victory.

Len Merullo’s single scoring Harry Lowrey :from second-—after the latter had picked up two bases on an error by Johnny -Wyrostek-—carried the Chicago Cubs: to a 1-t0-0 verdict over: the: ‘Pittsburgh.

Oh, Touch Me Not

The sports calendar advanced a notch recently for fliers at the Enid (Okla) army flying school when spring baseball practice began just as the football season was going into its finale. ' All winter, cadets were supposed to be playing touch football, but their block-buster “touches,” as rough as pro-league tackling, made the games no place for lads who couldn't take it.

Of Prediction

PITTSBURGH, June'28 (U, P). :

—Before the season started,

Rip Sewell, veteran right-handed pitcher from Plant. City, Fla, predicted he would enter the charmed circle of 20-game winners this season. ‘As: ‘of today, the six-foot, twoe' inch hurler is within two;games of. accomplishing half of what he set . out to do. And in the standings yesterday he was the National league's leading pitcher with a record of eight triumphs and two defeats. Rip, 35, who broke into the pro= fessional ranks in 1931 with Nashe ville, has added a new pitch to his repertoire this season—a tantalize ing slow ball that has the opposing batters talking to themselves.

Pitch Proves Successful

Described variously as a “slow ball’'s slow ball” or “hump-back slow ball,” the pitch has proved remarkably successful... On the average he. throws it once in aninning, following it up with a sinke ing curve or a fast one. It looks ‘easy to hit, but many a batter to -date has nearly broken his back trying to connect, and. when they do hit it, usually the ball pops up ‘or dribbles along the. ground for an easy out. Rip has found Jimmy Wilson's Chicago Cubs easy victims to his hurling wiles. Thus far he has des feated the Cubs four times. The Philadelphia = Phillies have . suce. cumbed twice and the Boston Braves and Cincinnati Reds once each. His defeats have come at the hands of the ‘Braves and Carde inals.

Hurled Eight Games

The Ripper has hurled eight come plete contests in the 12 in which he has started, and has worked a total of 98% innings, permitting 96 hits and 29 earned runs, or an average of 2.8 earnéd runs and a little better than eight hits per nine-inning game. Sewell came to the Pirates from Buffalo in 1937. Used mostly in re lief roles for two seasons, he won 16 and lost five in 1940. Last year he won 17 and lost 15.
