Heurich Brewers again top the
sandlot baseball heap here after an
absence of several years following
yesterdays 80 victory over Head

advantage of Roberts speed and

The business of picking up games
in the National League at a given
point and playing them to COM
pletion at later dates still is causing
headaches for the figure filberts.
The senior circuit has had four
contests In this category, two of
them protested games involving the
Phillies and two others suspended
games which were halted because of
Sunday curfew laws in Boston and
Pittsburgh July 18.
The protested games were entered
in the standings at the time they
were played, but when league Presi-
dent Ford Frick ordered the contests
resumed later from the point of
argument, the Phillies won the game
they had been charged with losing
to the st. Louis Cardinals and lost
the game they had been credited
with winning from the New York
Giants.
Standings are Changed.
This called for corrections in the
standings. The suspended games
were not included in the standings
at the time, but one of them was
finished Yesterday and, as it turned
out, 1t might Just as we'll been
counted legal game at the time it
was recessed.
This contest was the second game
OF double e-header between the
Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates
which was halted after seven in
nings with the Redbirds leading. 6-5.
When the two final frames were run
off neither team made a move and
the July Is score became the Sep
tember l score.
What did happen was that Rip
Sewell of the Pirates, who had en-
tered the contest in the seventh in
ming in relief role and returned
to the mound to complete the game,
was charged with his seventh defeat
against 19 victories. This now raises
the question of whether Sewell had
an 1l-game winning streak in July,
or whether it was broken at seven
games on July 18.
Manager Billy Southworth, instead
of resuming the game with George
Munger, who was on the mound for
the Cards when play stopped. used
Mort Cooper to pitch the two final
innings and hold onto the margin
OF victory.

NeWSom always has admired the
presence of crowd when Newsom
pitches and one of his most en-
thusiastic fans is Clark Griffith,

the few men in baseball Newsom

been generous in dealing with Buck.
While seeking some help that
might enable the Mats to cling to
second place this season, Griffith
visions in Newsom a pitcher who

silver plate in his leg that probably
would cause rejection for the armed
forces.
Griffith probably will lose some

Coolidge is expected to make a
strong bid this season with the 40

with several more due later. John
Schullenberger, l60- pound back who
was one OF the city's best kickers
until he ran into book trouble last

Mats attributed it to lack of condi-

His arm is all right" says Ossie.
His legs are the reason he hasn't

been doing enough running to keep
his legs in shape. The reason Early
Wynn has been winning this year is
because he's kept his weight down
