Tribesmen Divide Twin Bill With Blues, but Gain Ground

As Brewers Lose Decision

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 17-By splitting last night's doubleheader with the Blues out at Ruppert stadium, the Indianapolis Indians picked up ground over the runnerup Milwaukee Brewers and increased | their American association lead to three games, a gain over Milwaukee| of a game and a half since the Tribesters departed the home grounds. : The Brewers lost to Louisville in Milwaukee last night and saw]

their pennant chances receive another jolt.

[

The Redskins and Blues are to

conclude their long seven-game series in a single tilt tonight, after, which the Tribesters will shove off for Minneapolis to engage the Mil-

Jers in five games in three days pes

starting off with a double-header| at ancient Nicollet park tomorrow. Ira Hutchinson is slated to pitch

It was a parade of pitchers on both sides in the second game and it was one for the book. The Indians collected 18 hits to eight by the Blues and Tribe Skipper Bill Burwell “suffered” no end as the Kansas City pastimers touched off a rally in the seventh which wasn} checked until the home team had chalked up eight markers—and that was the ball game. The Blues belted two three-run homers in their big inning. Manager Burwell was banished in the eighth for prolonging an argument over a close decision against his team. The Indians got away to a 4-to-0 lead before the Blues found the key to “the situation” in the fourth, registered three runs on Serafini’s home run with two on and batted George Jeffcoat out of the box. Other Tribe pitchers used were Mike Roscoe, Pedro Jiminez and Wes Flowers. :

Already, Charley (Red) Ruffing, the 42-year-old right hander who has won three out of four games and catcher Aaron Robinson have returned from the service to bolster the Yankee lineup. The club now eight and a half games back of the Tigers but the distance might not be insurmountable with a powerful attack to back up a fairly good, though not brilliant pitching staff. Brownies Win

But the help will have to be forthcoming in a hurry, That was made plain at St. Louis last night as the Brownies came from behind to win, 7 to 2. The Browns pulled into a fifth place tie with the Yankees, winning with a six-run rally in the sixth. Bob Muncrief went the distance to gain his seventh victory against one defeat as his mates made 13 hits. = Vern Stephens led the attaek with two doules and a single. "Hal" Newhouser of the Tigers was an ample antiddter for Emil (Dutch) Leonard of the Senators at Detroit. Newhouser beat Washington for his 11th straight time, 9 to 2, to gain his 19th ‘win of the season and put Detroit three and a half games in front. On the day before, Leonard won his fourth straight from the Tigers. Paced by Roy Cullenbine, who had a triple and two singles to drive in three runs, the Tigers made it easy for Newhouser with a 14-hit attack yesterday.

Chicago's National league lead was reduced to flve games at Brooklyn when the Dodgers evened the series with a 2 to 1 victory. Rookie Tom Seats, slated for the Dodger discard ranks earlier in the season, turned in a steady seven-hitter in which the only Cub run was unearned. Moreover, he beat the league's leading pitcher, Hank Wyse, who was trying for win number 19 and had to settle for his seventh loss. Seats singled in Tom Brown, who had doubled with the deciding run in the fourth. Ken Burkhardt's two-hit pitching gave the Cardinals a 4 to 0 victory at Philadelphia. Buster Adams with his 17th homer and Floyd Young with his first gave Burkhardt all the offensive support he needed. Cincinnati snapped its 13-game losing streak with a twin win at Boston, 5 to 3 and 8 to 3. Al Unser’s two-run homer gave Joe Bowman his ninth victory in the opener. Vern Kennedy managed to strand 13 Braves on base to win the second game easily. Boston's Tommy Holmes boosted his major league leading homer total to 23 with three for the day. Ace Adams saved Van Lingle Mungo’s 2 to 1 Giant victory over the Pirates at New York by retiring the side with the bases filled in the ninth. It was Mungp’s 13th} win and Mel Ott started him off with his, 17th homer. That blow in the fourth stopped Elwyn Roe’s string of scoreless innings at 22%,

Charley Keller NEW YORK, Aug. 17 (U, P.).—

Charley (King Kong) Keller of the Yankees, revealed last night that he had been released from his post as an ensign in the U, 8. Maritime service and that he would rejoin the team today in Chicago, L 2

Keller, who has been working out for several months during shore leave between trips to Europe, was a key player on four Yankee pennant winning teams, 1939, 1941, 1942 and 1943, leaving to go into the Merchant marine in December of 1943. During his five years with the club, he hit 122 homers and batted in 492 runs, ranking second only to Joe DiMaggio as an effective long distance hitter. Although the Yanks are eight and a half games behind the leading Tigers in the pennant race and have dropped to fifth place in the standIngs, thesaddition of Keller might put them back into, the pennant picture. One of the principal needs of the team for the past two seasons has been a long distance hitter.
