st. Louis, July 9 UP) =
American League umpires today
were accused of favoritism toward:
the league-leading New York
Yankees by usually conservative
Luke Sewell, manager Of the st
Louis Browns.
THE umpires in the American
League are certainly New York con-
scious Sewell said as his Browns
snapped back after four straight
losses to the Yankees by whipping
the Red Sox yesterday.

was finally made in the first game

The Play
SeWell's beef" was brought about
when Milt Byrnes singled with Don
Gutteridge on first. Gutteridge slid
into third ahead of OutfieldeI
Johnny Lindells throw, which
wound up in the Browns dugout
During the scramble, Guteeridge
scored and Byrnes reached third
Catcher frankie Hayes of st. Louis
apparently convinced Sewell thai
Byrnes should be permitted to score
too, and Luke convinced Umpire
Bill Summers, who waved Byrne,
across.
Long Delay
The Yankees cited a ground rule
stating that a runner is entitled
to the base he is running for anc
one more on a wild throw. Summers
finally returned Byrnes to thiro

John Whitlow' Wyatt, the senti-
mental gentleman from Georgia,
shapes up today as baseball's hard
luck player of the year, for bur-
sits has stolen the speed from his
blazing fast ball and put both him
and the Dodger pennant hopes on
the shelf
Whit was one of the key men in
the attack as the battling Brooks
drove to second place in 1910 and
to the pennant in 1941. He won %
games two years ago to help nail
the flag to the Ebbets field pole and
turned in 10 victories last season as
the Dodgers fell short by two
games.
A conscientious workman who
loves the game. the soft-spoken
Wyatt had ambitions for the club
this season. He trained at Hot
Springs, Ark, two weeks on his own
hook before spring training got
under way and was in good shape
when the club reported at Bear
Mountain, N. Y. His fast one never
had more smoke, and the Dodgers
day dreamed. But then things be-
gan to break badly shortly after
the season opened.
His father was i'll and Whit rush
ed back to Buchanan, Ga, losing
week of play-and much OF his
control. On his return he made sew
eral starts but some of the zing
was missing from the high, hard
one and the arm was a little rusty.
Wyatt began rounding into shape
again until his father-in-laW, who
manages WAITS cotton farm, SUI
fered stroke. Once again the big
pitcher was off on the night train
to Georgia. Another week passed
before his return and this time he
didn't look like the Wyatt of old.
Manager Leo Durocher tried rest
ing him longer between turns on
the hill and then sent him to DR..
Bob Hyland in st. Louis. while the
club continued in Chicago.
Couldn't Make 1t
On his return Wyatt demanded
his share of mound duty, and Du-
rocher, thinking he was ready, sent
him to the hill. Although the
Dodgers have been referred to as
the nine old men, Durocher knew
that with such men as Billy Her.
man, Arky Vaughan and Augie
Galan playing good ball, the sue
cessful return of Wyatt would be
an inspiration to the team. But
Whit couldn't come through. That
old fast one still rolled up there
like a slow freight, and men that
should have been tanning were
cutting Wits legs with liners.
Meanwhile, the arm had started
to pain and once again Wyatt
headed for the infirmary. He had
won only three games against four
defeats, at point where he had
scored eight triumphs against two
losses a year ago.
DR.. Michael DeddiSh diagnosed
the ailment as bursitis and ordered
two weeks of rest. He said he be-
lieved the condition would clear UP
completely under diathermic treat
ment, but the statement didn't raise
hopes too high in the Dodger camp.
camp.
Dem Buns" however, haven't
given up hope altogether either.
They know that Wyatt came back
once before after being forced out
of the American League by a sore
arm. So they're keeping their fin
gers crossed in Flatbush because
the Whit Wyatt of old-with his
fast one blowing them down
would be a great asset in the hot.

for the next five years waiting for remarkable arm
