NEW YORK, April 81. tUP' -
The St. Louis Browns. with seven
straight victories, earned a revis-
ed ranking as definite eontenders
for their first American league
pennant ThudSday after being over
looked and moderated in pre-sea-
son reckonings.
They can set q new league record
fer consecutive games won from
the start of the season by winning
again Thursday from the Cleveland
Indians. They tied the mark held
by the New York Yankees Of 1888
yesterday. downing the Indians 5
to . and providing right handler
Steve Sundra with his second win.
The victory was typical of others
they have won to date and on
analysis indicated they have the
right combination, provided their
remarkably good pitching holds
out. Held to a scratch hit for five
innings by Allie Reynolds. Cleve-
land strikeout artist, the Browns
broke a scoreless tie with a four run
rally in the sixth on a triple by
Don Gutteridge, a walk to Hal
Epps. a single by George McQuinn
scoring Gutteridge. a double by
Vernon Stephens scoring Epps, and
a single by Gene Moore which
scored both McQuinn and Stephens.
The Browns got only one more
hit after that but TIE damage was
done.
Despite their winning ways, the
Browns havn't awakened the der
mant spirit of their home fans
yet. Only 900 turned out to see
them in their record-tying perfor-
nance.
