Whipping by AN-Stors Spurs
Redskins Against Packers

The Redskins feel they must win
this one, meaning the game tomor-
row at Baltimore's Municipal
Stadium against the Green Bay
Packers. Licked in the All-Star
game a Chicago, the world football
champs will go into tomorrow's
game ready to toss their Sunday
punch. One reason may be their
willingness to repeat their 1912
victory over Green Bay, which they
whipped, % to 7, in a game exactly
year ago. Like tomorrow's game,
it was an exhibition and meant
nothing in the league standings,
but the Redskins want to win this
one to condone for the All-Star
licking, and they'll use every weapon
they have, barring some of the plays
they are saving for the league
season.
Sammy Baugh, much improved
over the Baugh of San Diego and
the All-Star game, isn't yet ready
to kick with his usual accuracy
and speed, but Sam will be in there
tossing passes, an item which al
ways makes the Redskins dangerous.

Milwaukee Sneaks
Back Into Flag Lead
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MilWaukee's Brewers took ad-
vantage of double header feud be-
tween the other two top contenders
for the American Association lead
last night to sneak back into first
place-by mere half game.
The Brewers won two games from
st. Paul in spectacular fashion, 5 to
3 and 10 to 8. while Columbus and
Indianapolis were dividing a twin
bill. The Red Birds dropped the
opener, 9 to 2, and won the night
cap, ? to 0, to slip out of the lead,
with Indianapolis holding third
place game behind Milwaukee.
The Brewers annexed the seven
inning first game on Grey Clarke's
tWo-rm homer in the final stanza,
which broke a 3-to-3 tie. In the
second contest they we're leading,
4 to 2, going into the ninth and
added six more runs as a clincher.
They needed them, for st. Paul
came back in its half to pick up a
half dozen runs and fall only two
short of tying the score.

Buccaneers SeWeII
Becomes First TO
Land 10Th Win
BY TED MEIER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

SSSOCla leu Press SpOIIS NiIirI.
The New York Yankees and
the st. Louis Cardinals virtually
clinched the championships in the
American and National Leagues
yesterday as Rip Sewell of Pitts
burgh became the first major league
pitcher to win 20 games.
In polishing off Washington and
Cincinnati, their closest contenders,
the Yanks and Cards stretched their
leads to II and 1919 games, respec-
lively. Since the New Workers play
20 of their remaining % games at
home and the Cards have last bats
in "a of their remaining % contests
it is as safe as anything in baseball
to assume that they will meet again
in the World Series.
The Cards came from behind with
a three-run ninth-inning rally to
beat the Reds, 5 to 4. The Yankees
had comparatively easy sailing
against Washington, blanking the
Mats to O behind Hank Borowy's
flve-hit pitching.
Joe Mccarthy Injured.
Southpaw Johnny Wander Nicer
of the Reds had AZ edge as the
Cards came to bat in the ninth.
Whitley KuroWski was safe on an
error and Ray Sanders doubled.
Martin Marion singled home the
first run of the inning and Sanders
scored the tying tally on Debs
CAIRNS bunt. Harry Walker ended
the game by singing Marion home.
Handicapped by the loss of Har-
land Cliff, who was sent home with
the munps, Washington was stopped
cold by Borowy's twirling and the
hitting of Bud Metheny and Bill
Johnson.
Manager Joe Mccarthy of the
Yanks was hit by a thrown ball
while seated in the dugout before
the game. The injury was not seri-
Gus, but Dr. Emmett Walsh said
it would give Mccarthy a BLACK
eye" I*s:ak
Aided by five Chicago errors the
veteran Sewell experienced little
difficulty in gaining his long sought
goth triumph. He scattered eight
hits in beating the Cubs, 5 to l.
Dodgers Win 18th in Row.
Whit Wyatt's pitching and Luis
Olmo's hitting extended Brooklyns
winning streak to seven with a T.
to-l triumph over the Giants.
Wyatt hurled shutout ball after the
first inning to register his 10th win
of the year. Olmo doubled in the
winning runs.
Pinky Higgins connected for a
three-run ninth inning homer to
give Detroit an 8-to-5 victory over
the st. Louis Browns while the
Philadelphia Athletics beat the
Boston Red Sox, 5 to 4, for their
second win in 26 games. A double
steal by Jojo White and Bobby
Estallella, after Estalella's tWo-run
single with the bases loaded, gave
the AS the winning run in the
seventh.
The Boston Braves, Phillies,
White Sox and Indians were idle.

With George Woolf, one of Amer

Alorter goes to the post favored with
an excellent break in the weights.
carrying only 116 pounds.
Alorter's bid for the juvenile title
Is based on his victories in the Joliet
Stakes of the Lincoln Fields meet
ing and the Primer and Juvenile
Stakes of the co-ordinated Airing
ton washington Park meeting.
Hence a win today would dispel the
claims of any other contenders.
However John Marsch's Jezrahel
and Occupy were two in the field of

with Jezrahel bidding strongly for
the juvenile crown because of an
earlier triumph in the Arlington
Futurity. In that even he and his
stablemate, Occupy, ran one-two

Jezrahel is called on to carry 122
pounds today, and Occupy 113.
