ST. LOUIS, Sent. 30—The St. Louis Browns, who kept their place the championship race by defeating the New York Yankees in a ble-header yesterday, came to another crisis today in their bid for sir first American league pennant. } Sentimental favorites the country over—outside of Detroit—the owns were in a tie with the Tigers with only two more games
3f the season to go. _ They beat the world champions get back into the running, and sv showed the stuff of which ympions are made. With the chips down and a pospennant at stake, they fought heir hearts out yesterday to defeat the Yankees in both games f a double-header to tie Detroit. What has happened since the hilly rainy days of April can be iritten off the books. The “ifs” the background are meaningless : as the Tigers square off rainst the Washington Senators mn Detroit and the Browns tangle nce again with the Yanks. The pennant will be riding on y pitch in today's games and World Series opponent of the tional League Champion St. Cardinals will not be known
Only one thing was certain—that the Yanks will not be the opposing ‘team when the World Series opens here next Wednesday. They were sliminated from their bid for their h straight pennant yesterday, when Jack Kramer, one of the four ‘Brown heroes of the day, beat them in the first game, 4 to 1. That first game was a must for ger Luke Sewell’s boys. Early the game the scoreboard showed the Tigers had defeated the in the first contest of a puble-header. That meant that to téep their pennant hopes alive the Brownies had to win. Then they showed in the second ‘game how they could play when ¢ the pressure really gets tough,
Pitches Heart Out

& been posted than the Yanks came & up In the eighth inning. Potter was pitching his heart out. ~ It turned out to be good enough, but he needed some of the most spectacular fielding help that baseever has known. In the eighth with men on secpnd and first and two out, Mike Kreevich, running ‘with his back the plate, leaped up and snared
a line drive off Johnny Lindell's bat that was ticketed for extra bases all the way.
catching a ball in my life,” Kreevich said afterward, but he caught that one and it counted. But that wasn't all. In the ninth the Yamks threatened again—hoping to duplicate what they did in 1922 when they beat out the Browns by one game in St. Louis’ only ma jor = which the Browns never have forgotten. They had a man on second with two out and Paul Waner, one of the most dangerous batters the game has known, was at the plate, pinch-hitting.. He hit one. It looked like Etten was a cinch to score but he didn't for Don Gutteridge, the pepper man of the Browns, leaped high into the air and speared the ball to end the game, * It climaxed quite a day for Gutteridge and Kreevich. They had scored or batted in the tying and winning runs in the first game and the one and only run in the second game. Those victories and the Wash-ington-Detroit split made it a new Season as far as the Browns and Tigers were concerned, They figured that the pressure is on the Tigers, for although they will be working behind their left-handed ace, Hal Newhouser, the Detroit outlook will not be so bright Sunday. For pilot Steve O'Neill of the Bengals was expected to come back with Trout, his right-handed ace, Sunday, and the Browns figured that after being knocked out of the box by the Senators yesterday; and in view of the heavy duty firing which he has been doing for Detroit, perhaps 24 hours rest would not be enough. It may turn out to be bad reasoning but it was the Browns’ hope —along with. Denny Galehouse, the Browns’ hardluck hurler, whonf| Sewell nominated to pitch today. McCarthy was expected to call on his rookie ace, Mel Queen, who has won six while losing only two since
the Yanks called him in from thelr Newark farm in mid-August.

Soldier Wins in Feature Match
Pvt. Gene Mickens, Baer Field, Ft. Wayne heavyweight, slugged out an eight-round decision over Frank Androff, of Minneapolis, in the featured clash of six-tilt pro boxing bill last night at the Armory before a crowd of 1300. Mickens, who scaled 205 pounds, and the Northerner, who entered the ring at 200, fought three tame rounds before the fireworks started near the close of the fourth sesison when the soldier-boxer scored with a right hand wallop on Androff’s jaw. The Minneapolis product took 8 count of nine and regained his feet in a groggy condition as the bell ended the round. He never fully recovered from the blow but fought back gamely to last the distance as Mickens continued his attack to win the lop-sided verdict of the two judges and Referee Dick Patton,
The best supporting prelim on the bill was a five-round mil between Middleweights Mike Edwards, of Chicago, and Pvt. Jim Crowe, of Camp Atterbury, which was won by the latter, Arnold Deer, Indianapolis contender for the state middleweight crown, won a decision over Bob Linn, of Pt. Wayne, after six rounds. In other bouts, James Sherron, local welterweight, stopped Al Jackson, of Chicago, with a solid poke fo the solar plexus after 1:52 of the third round of a scheduled five; A C. Lee, Indianapolis lightweight, shaded Cpl. Billy Fisher, Camp Atterbury, in a four-rounder, and Raymond Glenn, Indianapolis, won a technical k. o. over Al Evans, another local lightweight, in the first round of the opening four,

Kingan Reliables and StewartWarner will clash at Victory field tomorrow in a city amateur baseball championship series game that will determine which of the two meets Gold Medal Beer for the championship the following Sunday. Both teams have lost one game, Kingans handing the Stewarts their initial defeat last Sunday. P. R.

to the Shortridge 15 as the period ended.

Ripple-Sheridan
The Broad Ripple Rockets again showed surprising strength in their second Victory in as many starts. The Rocket scorers were Phil Neff, Bill Flack, Don Hannah, Pem Cornelius and Jim Guyot. The second was the only scoreless period. Sheridan has lost five in a row and has yet to score a touchdown this season. :

Fred Cato, Reliables 3d baseman
Fans who witnessed last Sunday’s clash are singing praises for Harry Durham, Stewart pitcher. Durham, who previous to the Kingan game, had struck out 49 opposing batsmen, added five in last Sunday's game and although he lost the decision, he exhibited a world of speed and a fine assortment of curves. Some ragged fielding and faulty baserunning aided in his downfall. Durham will be on the hill again tomorrow and Lefty McGill will probably be his opponent. Kingan has defeated J. D. Adams Co. (forfeit), DeWolf News, P. R. Mallory and Stewarts in their march through the series. The Stewarts hold series victories over Armour Social Club, DeWolf News, Mitchel-Scott and U. 8. Tires.
