BROWNS BELT JOE M'CARTHY'S TANKS
 OUT OF FLAG RACE
BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Stan CorrespondenO

HEtSS Stuh
 New York, June 23-(UP)-The won their way into sports page head lines whenever they held the Yam kees to close score, have just about sounded the death knell on New York's 1881 American League pen nant hopes.
 Of course, the championship as- pirations of Joe McCarthy's club haven't been taken seriously by any one except members of the team since the Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Senators began climb ing out in front a month ago, and when the Yankees started on their current western invasion they hoped to start a winning streak that would enable them to move within striking distance of the Athletics and Sena- tors.
 Three in a Row
 But the Yankees rolled into Chi cago to-day, feeling none too well after taking three consecutive trim mings from the Browns.
 The Browns sent the Yankees away with 14 to 10 facing. Five Yankee hurlers were in effective and the Browns collected 20 hits. The Yankees did well enough at bar. rapping out 15 blows. including Gehrig's fifteenth and sixteenth homers of the season, but after kgocking three pitchers from the box they were stopped by kimsey
 The defeat cost New York an op- portunity to gain lost ground, for the Athletics dropped an to ? verdict to Chicago. Connie Mack attempted to get by with his second string hurl- CTS, but the White SoX would have none of that. They polished off Shores in the fifth inning and con- tinued their assault on Mahaffey while Frasier, rookie, was scatter ing the six hits he allowed the Ath- letics. The defeat cost the Athletics half game of their leadership for the Washington club now three and one-half games behind Philadelphia, was idle because of rain at CleVe- land.
 Boston defeated Detroit. ' to 2, in the other American League encoun- ter. MacFayden was effective in the pinches while the Red Sox ham, mered Bridges almost at will.
 Slipping Bit
 The St Louis Cardinals met their fourth defeat in the games played thus far on their current eastern in vasion, dropping to 3 decision to Philadelphia. Big Jim Elliott hurled good ball except in the sixth inning when the Cardinals scored all of their runs. Chuck Klein's eighteenth home run of the season was one of the 13 hits the Phillies got off Syl- vester Johnson.
 The defeat did not cost the Car dipals any of their two and one half game leadership margin in the Ma tional League, however, for the second place New York Giants were pounded into submission by Chica- go. II to 4. Homee runs by Will son, HerS sley and Hornsby featured the Cubs attack on three Giant hurlers as Guy Bush coasted to vic- tory.
 Ray for Robins
 Babe HeHnap and William Wat son Clark combined their talents to give Brooklyn 3 to ? ten-inninS victory over Pittsburgh. Clark al- lowed nine scattered hits while Her mann batted in two of the runs and scored the other himself.
 Cincinnati and Boston in the Ma tional League were not scheduled.

HERO ASPUTSIC FRIARS
 LOSE TO VIKINGS

Shorty" Petroccione assumed the hero role in the Vikings-Putsic Friars ball game last night at Brassco Park where the former aggregation handed the red-gowned boys their first setback since the Central Y. M. c. A. Baseball league was organized two summers past, by a 3 to score in a regulation seven inning twilight contest.
 Vcrdct Fatal.
 Howie FinkenZellar opened the fatal seventh popping out to Captain Andy Stavnitsky with the score knotted at two-all. "Whiske 4" Whitaker grounded to Stavnitsky who erred allowing the Vikings shortstop to rest on first. Then the mite Petroccione selected his Louis vile, stepped to the plate and faced Big John Kulman with broad grin on his phizog. On the first pitch Petroccone caught one and sent a high fly to left field which appar- ently landed foul George Holloway sensing he could not make the catch allowed the ball to remain untouch- ed. Umpire Bud Davis ruled the ball fair and before anyone realized it the game was over. as Whitaker crossed the plate with the deciding marker.
 Dcspins Hits Hard.
 George Lasky pitched mastertul ball for the winners holding the Friars to five hits. one a double, another triple, both being gar nered by Soup Despins. Kulman was nicked for eight safeties, two being doubles by Finkenzelar and PetrOccione.
 The loss was the Friars first in eight starts in the Y league to date and their second this season in twelve contests With weather per hitting the Frairs will cross bets with the Web Shop tonight at the athletic field at o'clock.

 YALE NINE TO-DAY

New Haven, June 23.-Johnny Walker whose base hit sent Yale in- to the lead in the deciding game of the Yale Princeton series last Satur- day, has sailed for Europe, because of trip plans laid several months ago causing an outfield change in Yale's alignment in the third game of the series with Harvard here this after noon. Aloysius McGowan will be removed from center to left field and either Garfield Mckenzie or Charley Helm will be tried in center. Possibly both will get into the game. Both are exceptional base runners and Mckenzie is a remarkable fielder. Head Coach Joe Wood had not last night decided whether to start Pitcher Ned Wheeler, who held Princeton scoreless for several in nings Saturday or Bill Newton, who held Harvard to one run until ninth inning in Cambridge last week. Billy MacHale or Page will be nominated by Coach Fred Mitchell for Harvard.

 Hennie Darlington decisiveIy prov- ed he is still valuable man on any teams roster by the enviabIe man. neR he upheld "Hefty" Michigan Sunday against the Tribes. To add to his honor the gray-tOpped re- ceiver touched Joe Doyle for five safeties in as many official trips to tho plate. Darlington replaced Jackie Mahaney who handed in his uniform Friday evening and who later enrolled with Hal Brennan's Connecticut Yankees in the Public Parks circuit.
 "Skeets" Carroll has also joined the Connecticut Yankees, favoring them over AIS Washington Hills. Earl Lewis and Red" Crichton have crossed their names from the Tribunes roster to play in the Public Parks loop with the Washington Hill All-Stars and Colts. respectively.
 The fans greeted "Hefty" Michi- gan with a series of royal Bronx cheers Sunday when the Italian hurler attempted to bunt but missed the leather by inches. The cheers were increased a few seconds later when Umpire Bill stanton waved Mich hack to the bench on strikes. following series of protests from tho whipped victim.
 The Brooklyn's board of strategy tn xuip Mariana deliberately walked Eddie Lyons, Tribes first sacker, in the seventh inning with two outs and Doyle on first base to get Mickey Bowen. The Irisher greeted "Hefty' with a single past Bobby Tucker scoring Doyle with the tying run.
 "BrasscO Joe" Brennan. Tribune utility man and coach de luxe. had Michigan biting gas all afternoon. It seems Joe delighted in herald ing Mich as Angelo much to the dis gust of the latter. It may also be said that Joe is one of the handicst men in the league as he certainly can coach and Is also caDablc of playing any position on the field.
 At the present writing no one de- lights In being called pllot or the Sacred Hearts, but then you can't blame them. It appears that the Hearts think too much of Fay Vim cent and not enough of the others One man can't win every ball game but he can certainly hold in losing many of them.
