Three Teams Right on Heels Of Brownies

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 (U. P).--The St. Louis Browns were backed into a three-cornered corner today and if they get out of this one, the Cardinals should be waiting to knock ‘em off in the world series. Starting with the Yankees in second place, only four and a half games behind. The Browns have the Tigers and the Red Sox, all on their heels, and a slip, psychologically or physically could deprive them of their first American league pennant. The Tigers, roaring and clawing for the pennant, defeated St. Louis in an all-important game yesterday —a double steal accounting for a 1-0 Detroit victory and Paul (Dizzy) Trout’s 21st win. Trout became the first pitcher in the majors to surpass the 20 games won mark with a four-hit shutout that may have broken the Browns’ back.

Double Steal Wins Game

The only run of the game was scored when shortstop Joe Hoover opened the third inning with a single, stole second and moved to third on an infield out. Loser Denny Galehouse, who allowed but four hits, then walked Eddie Mayo and the fleet second baseman broke for second in an attempted steal. In the ensuing rundown, Hoover scored the all-important run and Trout's four-hitter stood up for the decision. The Yankees, tough as long as the pennant is mathematically obtainable, double-jumped into second place by defeating the Senators, 4-2 in 12 innings while yesterday's second place Red Sox dropped two to the fifth place Athletics. The Athletics, striving for a first division berth, won their seventh and eighth out of their last nine starts by defeating Boston twice, 6-1 and 9-4. Bobo Newsom had an easy time—as usual—against the Sox in the opener allowing only seven hits for the win. The second game was decided in the eighth frame when the A's came through with a five-run uprising to give jittery Joe Berry the victory. Cleveland Gains Notch

Cleveland moved ahead of the White Sox into the sixth slot with a 10-2 win over the Sox. Veteran Mel Harder spaced 10 hits in recording the 207th triumph of his major league career and the 10th of this season. In the National, the Cardinals halted the winning skein of the Pirates at six games and stretched their practically insurmountable lead to 19 games as Fred Schmidt, ordinarily a relief hurler, held the second placers to four hits in gaining a 4-0 shutout. Rookie Bill Voiselle recorded his 16th win of the season as the Giants beat their favorite, the Dodgers, 10-2. Nap Reyes assisted Voiselle to victory over the last place Dodgers when he drove in five runs with a homer, triple and single. Ed Heusser pitched the circuit's other shutout when he blanked the Cubs on seven hits to give the Reds a 2-0 win. : The Phillies and the Braves snlit two. The Phillies won the first game, 9-7 when Ron Northey's 17th homer, a grandslam blow, brought in four runs to bring them from behind to victory in’ the ninth inning. The Braves came back in the nightcap to gain a 4-3 triumph as Nate Andrews chalked up his i3th triumph.

Semi-Final in Softball Meet

Games are scheduled over the week-end in both men’s and girls’ annual Marion county metropolitan area softball taurnaments. A semifinal game in the men's event is carded tonight while the girls have a contest scheduled = tomorrow night. Both games will be at Speedway stadium. Metal Auto Parts, who won the county title last year under the name of Allison Patrol, meet Madison Avenue Flowers tonight. The winner will battle P. R. Mallory Co. for the title at Softball stadium Tuesday night. The Mallorys entered the finals last night through a 9-3 victory over Camp Atterbury All-Stars. Tommy Lang, Mallory hurler, set the soldiers down without a hit, but his wildness aided in giving the Atterburys their trio of runs. He walked seven men. The winners produced 12 hits,

one athlete dominated the play as|

Nelson has dominated this three-year-old extravaganza. May and Nelson have had three important meetings in those years, and two of the times May has signed the checks and Nelson has indorsed them. The third time it was a war bond payment. In 1941, Nelson won the first AllAmerican and May wrote him a $2000 check. The following year,

May obliged with $2500. Last year, Harold (Jug) McSpaden, launching one of the greatest money winning streaks in golf history, took first place as Nelson picked up $900 in war bonds. - He has pocketed $5950 of Tam O’Shanter’s record-rich prizes in all, and after a two-under-par 70 yesterday, it appears that May and Nelson 'may meet again—when $13,642 in war bonds goes to the winner of the 1944 All-American open tomorrow. After yielding the spotlight to Johnny Bulla, Atlanta, Thursday when Bulla shot a record-tying 65, Nelson waxed hot yesterday to add 70 to a 68 opening round for a 138 total. Behind him and getting hotter with the final 18 holes only a day away, was McSpaden and Sgt: Vic Ghezzi, 1941 P. G. A. titlist now

The Madison Avenue :lads, although they finished first in the | Bush-Callahan Sunday afternoon) league, were practically unknown | prior to the tourney. They were | not among the seeded teams, but defeated Kingan Knights and Allison Plant 5 who were seeded. They also won from Loyal Order of Moose in their march to the semifinals.

Advance on 3 Victories

The Metals turned in wins over Pastime All-Stars, their opponents in last year’s finals, Allison Gears and Park Theater to reach tonight's game. The girls’ tourney may be terminated tomorrow night as Beck Canvas Products, who oppose Curtiss-Wright, has one defeat against them. Two defeats eliminates a team. The Becks have won two and lost one while the Curtiss lassies, champions the past three years, havé a clear tourney slate with two wins. The teams will rely on their ace pitchers. Helen Neihouse will be on the mound for Becks, while Betty Fox, who pitched her team to its former titles, will be her opponent. Both games are scheduled at 8:30 following non-tourney preliminaries.

There will be a double-header at Softball stadium tomorrow night. The Danville, Ill, Moose will meet Curtiss-Wright at 8 and the local Moose at 9:15.

Bulla, a commercial airplane pilot, took a nose dive yesterday when he soared to a five-over-par 79 after taking the course record his first day. His 144-stroke total places him 11th and six strokes behind Nelson. Picard Takes Spotlight The highlight of yesterday's play, however, was the six-under-par 66 shot by Henry Picard, record creator of past years and holder of most of golfdom’s major titles at one time or another, His was a voice from out of. the past when he turned in a two-under-par first nine score of 34, and then put hot irons into his game ton fire four birdies on the back nine, three of them in a row, for a four-under-par 32. That 66, shot after two years of golfing inactivity, put Picard in fourth with Felix Serafin, Pittston, Pa., 70-71-—-141. In the amateur, Ken Heilemann, St. Louis, and Ed Furgol, Detroit, hooked up in a hole-by-hole fight. Furgol took medal honors qualifying day with a 67, shot a 71 Thursday and a 72 yesterday. Heilemann qualified with a 70, and then came back to shoot a 70-72 in the tournament proper to lead by one stroke going into the last 36 holes

175 Entered in Allison Meet

More than 175 golfers will tee off tomorrow at Sarah Shank course in ‘the fourth annual AllisoNews blind par tournament for employees of 'Allison’s. . This year's entry list is the largest ever registered and is believed to be a record for any Indianapolis industry. . Although the defending champ. Paul Sparks, who shot a one-over par 72 in last year's event at Speecway, is not entered, a number of outstanding golfers will be shooting for his crown. Favored entries include Lou North, Lynn Lee, James Richwine, Doc Warren, John Wargo, Art Stoner, Ed Darnell and Roger McCoy. Burt Smith, sports editor of AllisoNews is in charge of the event.

Hart Matches With Angelo Martinelli

Frankie Hart, the Chicago matman who upset Mike Angelo here last Tuesday, will engage Angelo Martinelli of Dayton in the semiwindup on next Tuesday night's wrestling card at Sports arena. They meet for one fall. Headliners are the 200-pound Dave Levin, Jewish grappler from New York, pand the “Swedish Angel,” a 235-pounder.

Ray King . . . star leftfielder for De Wolf News. ” EJ . Six of the seven remaining in the annual amateur baseball championship series are slated to see action tomorrow, as the two-defeats-and-out system starts. Following tomorrow's contests opponents for the following Sunday's games will be determined through a draw to be held at the weekly session of the Indianapolis Amateur Baseball association. Winners will play winners of the previous Sunday games, while losers will meet losers. The six teams participating in tomorrow’s contests appear ‘more evenly matched than in tne early stages of any previous event. Mitch-ell-Scott, the team that pulled a surprise victory last Sunday to eliminate Allison's, last year’s champions, drew a bye and will be idle tomorrow. 3 Games at Riverside The three tourney games will be played at Riverside Park, De Wolf News and Stewart-Warner meeting on Diamond No. 1; Gold Medal and U. S. Tires on No. 2 and Kingan Reljables and P. R. Mallory Co. on No. 3. While De Wolf and Gold Medals, champions and runnersup of the Municipal league, will be facing Manufacturers loop opponents, the Kingan and Mallory nines, both Manufacturers circuit members, will be meeting for the third time this season. The Reliables hold the edge, having won both other games. They won 4-3 in the first tilt and 13-4 in the second. The Mallory's, however, are a powerful hitting aggregation and if they get their big bats limbered up, they may hand Reb Russel's meatmen their season's first defeat. Both teams have outstanding pitching staffs, Ochell Tuck and Lefty McGill are Kingan hurlers, while Ralph Gatti and Carl Rearick are the Mallory dependables. Beermen Face Test Gold. Medals, who turned in the most impressive victory in first tourney games last Sunday, will have to bear down if they expect to continue as one of the favorites. Their opponents, U.S. Tires, are rated a strong contender and proved it last Sunday through a 12-2 victory over a strong 40 & 8 nine. De Wolf has plenty to worry about if pitcher Harold Durham of the Stewarts is right. Durham set down a favored Armour Social club with five hits last week, as his mates drove out 15. However, Bob Elliott's Newsmen won the Municipal league championship and that /rates them as one of the \yney favorites. Their ability to | e from behind aided them

certainly will prove helpful in the short city series.
