Sacramento Sells
Pitcher, Baseman

SACRAMENTO, Aug 26 up
Second Baseman Bob Blattner and
Pitcher George Munger of the Sac
ramento Baseball club today were
sold to the st. Louis Cardinals for
future delivery in a trade which
will bring Catcher Charles Marshall
from Syracuse Immediately and
Pitcher Herschell Lyons of Ro-
chester next spring.
The purchase of Blattner and
Munger by st. Louis from its Sac
ramento farm club will keep the
young stars out of the baseball
draft, to which both were eligible.
Blattner is hitting 81 and field
ing spectacularly. while Munger has
won 16 games and lost y this sea-
son.
Marshall played with Sacramento
earlier this year and will be flown
to Sacramento this week to plug the
gap left by Clyde Kluttz, who was
spiked severely last week.

St. Louis Browns. who may finish
sixth for the second time in seven
years. tightened their grip on that
spot by defeating the Washington
Senators. 6-3. in the first game of a
doubleheader. The victory, insured
by homers hit in the first inning
by Chet Laabs and Wally Judnich,
ran their record TO 13 victories in
20 starts.
Darkness stopped the nightcap
after 10 innings with the score tied
at 3-3 Laabs singled pinch-runner
Elden Auker home from third with
two out in the ninth to tie the
score for the Browns. Sid Hudson
went the route for the Senators
and allowed II hits while the
Browns called on four pitchers to
hold Washington to a 10 hit total.
Philadelphia at Detroit and all
three National League games were
rained out. The senior league will
put on four doubleheaders today,
the tWin-bill between the runner
up ST. Louis Cardinals and league

Alexander's eyes are SO bad that
he was deferred in the draft, but
yesterday he polished his spectacles
and took the tough Field Club
course apart with a five under par

A stroke behind was John p.
Burke of Chicago, former George

National Intercollegiate title in
1898 and lost to Dick Chapman. the
defending champion, in the Ma
tional Quarter finals last year.
The rest of the field was five or
more strokes back of Alexander in
