On Second Place as
St. Paul Loafs
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AS the Kansas City Blues, current
kingpins of the American Associa-
ton, were idle last night, Milwaukee
seized the opportunity to improve
its second-place position.
Facing Louisville, the Brewers
found it no cinch and it took Left
fielder Bill Normsn's clout over the
Ieft-fleld fence to turn the trick. 4-3
In the only other contest, Toledo
and St. Paul. each just having sue
ceeded in breaking a couple of the
longest losing streaks in association
records, were thrown together in the
tussle to avoid going back into re-
verse. The Mudhens came out on

Cochrune Selects 13
Soldiers, 10 Sailors
For July 7 Tilt
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer

1t. Gordon Mickey Cochrane,
manager of the service all-stars,
has chosen 13 soldiers and 10 sailors
to make up his team for the bene-
fit game at Cleveland July against
the winner of the annual American
League National League all-star
contest.
Furthermore, Manager Mickey Is
serious about winning the Cleve-
land classic. He has asked that his
players be relieved of their military
duties in time to report TO him at
the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station 10 days before the game for
hard practice.
Powerful Squad Picked.
1t is a powerful squad that Coch-
rane has picked, comprising the
cream of big league talent that has
answered the colors-Bobby Feller,
Hank Greenberg, Cecil Travis, Don
Padgett, Johnny Rigney and the
others. Providing they can reach
anything like top playing condition
in 10 days of practice they should
give their former compatriots a
stiff argument in Clevelands big
stadium.
AS his coaches. Cochrane named
Hank Gowdy of the Cincinnati
Reds, who was the first big Lacquer
to enlist in the other World War,
and George Earnshaw. former great
pitcher with the Philadelphia Ath-
letics and other clubs, now in the
Navy.
If they still are within reach, all
the players Mickey asked for will
report to him on the date requested.
The military wants to win this
game as much as Cochrane does.
Pitcher Mickey Harris, formerly with
the Boston Red Sox. will be flown up
from the Canal Zone, and clear
ance will be granted every other
player as soon as possible.
July Clash Likely.
AS a warmup for the Cleveland
game, Cochrane's stars probably will
participate in a contest at Detroit
July between Great Lakes and
Camp Custer. the Navy men play

Army men with Custer This would

A protest by Manager Larry Pizza
of Pizza's Grocery nine concerning
the defeat of his team by Washing
ton Flour in the junior division of
the National City League last Sun
day has been upheld by President
Vic Gauzza and the game will be
replayed.
Pizza's team was charged with a
6-2 defeat when the playing limit
time expired at 3 o'clock. when it
should have been credited with a
tie as a result of rally in the
previous inning.
Gauzza decided the umpire mis-
interpreted the ruling regarding the
outcome of games interrupted by
the expiration of time. The game
will be replayed at later date.

outs Clary has been no bust in
his brief trial at second, anyway,
and Manager Bucky Harris may
prefer to examine him more thor
oughly.
Cullenbine Too Ambitious.
Treated by the same specialist
who cured Pitcher Tex Hughson
of the Red SoX of a similar all
ment, Croucher's damaged arm re-
covered its effectiveness in four
days. Croucher reports the arm
was "deadened," then baked and
manipulated for four days. The
doctor then instructed Frankie to
60 out and throw as hard as he
could from any position. Croucher
says the arm responded nicely and
he has felt no pain.
So, at long last, the Mats will be
obtaining some service from
Croucher. His smooth fielding was
one of the reasons the Mats opti-
mistically were rated f1rst-division
threat when they emerged from the
South. With Bob RepaSs at short
stop and Croucher at second the
Mats seemingly had an acceptable
second-base combination, but
| Croucher came up with that sore
arm and Repass begged down after
his build-up.
Meanwhile local fans alternately
are praising and condemning Out
fielder Roy Cullenbine, who made
his debut with the Mats last night
after being obtained from the St
Louis Browns in a deal Sunday
Some 5000 Griffith Stadium GUS
toners relished his hitting, but are
hoping he henceforth will display
less zeal in his base running
Cullenbine contributed three sin
giles and walked twice, but in the
10th inning, when he represented
the potential winning run, he at
tempted to scoot from first to third
on Repass' smash off Pitcher Red
Embree's leg and easily was thrown
out by Shortstop Lou Boudreau.
In the 18th inning, when he
represented the potential tying run
on first base with one out, he sought
to streak from first to third on a
passed ball and again was whipped
out easily.
Mats Fight to Finish.
Washington was losing its eighth
game of the season by a margin Of
one run, but there was little dis
grace attached to the loss. Buck
Newsom entered the ninth inning
with 20, Shit victory in his grasp
but jeff Heath delivered triple
with two out and two on to lock
the score and Heath then scored
on Les Fleming's single off Short
stop Jimmy Pofahls glove.
The Mats bounced back with 9
run in their portion Of the ninth
however, as Clary reached first wher
Boudreau muffed his grounder. He
stole second as Pinch-hitter Bobby
Estalella famed and George Case
looped a single to center of En-
bree, who had been summoned tc
the mound to replace Southpaw A
Milnar, scoring Clary.
That situation existed until the
18th, when Ray Mack and Otto
Denning nicked Alexandra Car
rasquel for successive singles with
one out. Mack slid under Car
