BROWNS READY
 AS REAL FLAG
 DRIVE BEGINS
By GLEN PERKINS

 Limited Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 New York, June 26 - CU.P) - The St. Louis Browns today en- trained for the east to undertake what may prove to be the crucial three weeks of the season in their quest for their first American League pennant.
 The time has come to take the Browns seriously in the tight junior circuit race and if they can continue any semblance of their current pace they will return home on July IS with an old baseball axiom on their side: The team In first place through July 4, is the team to beat for the pennant."
 If frame of mind has anything to do with winning games on this trip, St. Louis should be in. Yesterday the Browns swept twin bill from the Detroit Tigers.
 The double victory, 5-4 in the 10 inning opener, and 5-2 in the second increased the Browns league lead to four games. Gene Moore's single and Milt Byrne's double produced the marginal tally in the first game and gave Tex Shirley the triumph. They continued where they had left of by counting three runs in the first inning of the nightcap to give Al Hollingsworth enough working mari gin.
 The Chicago White Sox climbed into second place with a twin victory over the Cleveland Indians. Bill Dietrich scattered six hits for an ll-0 shuout. The second game was cut to seven innings by rain and the Sox eked out @ 4-3 decision.
 A four run first inning proved to be just the margin Hank Borowy needed to gain a 4-3 victory for the New York Yankees in the opener and Ernie Bonham scattered 90 hits for a 5-2 win in the finale.
 Tex Was ''HOt"
 Washington and Boston split a pair, the Senators winning the first Game, 5-4 with strong offensive in the last three innings. Tex Hugh son saved the day for the Bo-Sox, however, with a masterful three hit performance in the nightcap for a 40 shutout.
 In the National League the St Louis Cardinals stretched their league lead to nine and a half games over the second place Pitts burgh Pirates with a 2-l victory in the first game and the second was called after nine innings with the score tied at 5-5. Truett (Rip) Sew ell lost his own game in the opener when he walked Whitey Kurowski with the bases loaded to force home the marginal run.
 The Brooklyn Dodgers regained the first division with a double vic- tory over the hapless Philadelphia Phillies. Veteran Curt Davis held the Phiilies to seven hits to win the opener. Al and Rube Melton an- nexed the afterpiece, 2-l in 10 in- nings.
 Buncky Walters won his 18th game as Cincinnati took the first of two games from the Chicago Cubs 4-3. Clauee Passeau pitched four hit ball in the nightcap to gain 5-0 shutout for the Cubs.
 New York and Boston split. Two errors and three singles in the first inning of the opener gave Boston's Charley Barrett three run working margin and he went on to win, 5-l. Rookie Bill Voiselle won the night cap for the Giants, 4-l, with three hit performance. his 10th of the season.
 YESTERDAYS STAR Tex Hughson, whose three hit shutout performance was the best pitching chore of the day and gave the Bos- ton Red Sox split with the Wash- ington Senators.

France and be there at the time of
his nomination. The rumor has not
been confirmed. however.
Anti-fourth term Democrats had
already given up any hope of block
ing the denomination of the Presi-
dent. Their only hope was that at
the l1th hour he would decline to
run.
The only contests which may
arise in the convention will come
over the vice presidential nomina-
tion-particularly If the President
insists on the denomination of
Henry A. Wallace-and over the
platform as it relates to racial
issues.
The state of the Presidents health
undoubtedly will play a role in the
campaign.
About a month ago Vice Admiral
Ross T. McIntire, the Presidents
personal physician, told newsmen
Mr.. Roosevelt Is In excellent health.
He described him as being in better
shape than the average man of his
age-62 years.
During the winter Mr.. Roosevelt
suffered from colds, Influenza, sinus
infections and bronchial disorder,
but Admiral McIntire said his rest
in the South and a subsequent take
it-easy ONCE schedule has erased
all signs of these ailments.
He said the President Is as we'll
now as he was a year ago and OBJ
served that year ago he was in
good shape.

he said he had two letters to
read. copies Of which would be
available. He began with Chairman
Hannegan's letter, and then read
his own reply.
After saying he would accept the
nomination the President wrote Mr.
Hannegan: o."

For myself I do not want to run

the personal point of view, then

tenn of the country was on sounder

at the. time OF his entry into the
White House It
"All that is within me-" he said,

In brief sentence, the President
set forth a personal platform: to win

way there will be no future wars,
to provide occupations and q decent
standard of living after the war for
the men in the armed forces, and for
all Americans.

The announcement to all intents
and purposes makes Mr.. Roosevelt's S
denomination q fact. A tabulation
by the Associated Press shows $50
of the 1,176 delegates to the Demo-
cratic National Convention have
been pledged to or are claimed for
the President. Only 589 are needed
to nominate.
The Presidents sudden announce
ment was made eight days in ad-
vance of the convention, opening
in Chicago July 10. When he ac-
cepted third-term nomination the
President waited until the delegates
had acted. At that time, too, he
said he did not wish to run, but
would accept if the convention de-
manded it of him.
Having written his letter, virtually
a message of acceptance of the
nomination, it remains to be seen
whether the President will make an
acceptance speech after the dele
gates have cast their votes for him.
It is expected that Mr.. Hannegan,
at the convention, will read the
letter to the delegates which he
has now received from the Chief
Executive.
