BROWNIES BACK ON TOP AS N. Y.
 YANKEES SKID
BY GLEN PERKINS IInitAd Press Staff COrreannnder

United Press Staff correspondent
 New York, May 20. (UP)-That old familiar tune of "break up the Yankees" droned with consistency by practically every American league club since 1926, had changed today, so far as New York's Amer ican League fans were concerned, to wake up the Yankees"
 The once nearly irvincable dynasty of baseball, winner of seven pennants in the last eight years, II since 1926, and never lower than third in that span of IS seasons. has lost four straight games and looked bad in all of them. The Tanks have lost four and more straight in other years, but they seldom looked bad.
 Losing three to the Chicago White Sox, all by four or more runs, and another yesterday to the St. Louis Browns, 6-5, the World Champions were in second place by scant .006 percentage points and appeared to be on the way down. The Browns moved into first place with the triumph.
 The power of the American League was supposed to lie in the east, and since the invasion of the western clubs, the Tanks have dropped six of Il games and of the five they have won, two were from seventh place Detroit and three from sixth place Cleveland.
 Time was when swapping homers with the Tanks was death but that's what the Browns did and came out on the long end. Each of team clubbed two four-masters, Bud Metheny and Ed Levy dropping them in the stands for the New Workers, and All zarilla and Mark Christman for St. Louis. Christ mans blow proved to be the decid- ing factor and handed Nelson Pot ter his fourth victory. Alley Donald stumbled through seven innings and was charged with the loss.
 Washington blew g. chance to move into the top spot ahead of the Browns when They kicked away 9 long game to the Detroit Tigers. TWO Wllu CILUW0 HI JAlC bAlALb AIAAA- ing allowed the Bengals two runs and all the margin they needed to support Johnny Gorsicas seven hitter. Early Wynn was the loser.
 The Cleveland Indians clouted three Philadelphia pitchers for r hits to trounce the Athletics g to 1. Al Smith, assisted by three singles and a double from the bat of Oris Hockett and a two run homer by Russ Peters, recorded his first win. Luke Hamlin was the loser.
 Mike Ryba won his own ball game with a 18th inning, run scoring single which gave the Boston Red Sox 3-2 edge over the Chicago White Sox. Boston tied the count at 2-2 in the ninth when Hal Wag- ner pinch hit a run producing single. Gordon Maltzberger was the loser.
 The hard charging Boston Braves, who have won seven out of their Il games on the road, made it two out of three against the National League leading St. Louis Cardinals. Jim Tobin, who spaced nine hits, was credited with 4-3 decision as he protected a four run lead which his mate gave him in the first four ir-

Mochoj To Face Army SIuqqers

New Haven, Conn, May 19-Yale Coach Robert A. (Red) Rolfe will put forward his best arm the sturdy right one of Ed Machaj - here tomorrow in an attempt to halt the sizzling winning streak of the United States Military Academy nine. The game will get under way at 800 at Yale Field.
 The Cadets have won their last six engagements, and in all have captured nine contests while losing only one. Yale's team, probably the besst to represent the University in more than a decade, also has an irn- pressive record of six wins and a lone loss.
 Hard Hitters
 The prolific bats of the West Pointers have pounded home a total of 81 runs and in four of the con- tests the Army has totaled 10 runs or more. The biggest outbreak was a few weeks back when they piled up IS against Pittsburgh.
 Other Academy victims include such top-ranking teams as Villinova N. Y. U., Princeton and Columbia, the latter the only team to defeat Yale.
 Army's recision over the Lions was by a decisive to 0 count, but the Yale picture is frightened by the fact that Machaj stopped Dart mouth, the sole team to nick the

THOMAS CLUB AND B. A. 6. TO
 MEET AT 1:45

Play Tn the City Amateur League will be resumed tomorrow after noon with a double e-header program at Hamilton Park starting at l:45 wit Ina clash between the undefeat- ed Thomas Club and Brooklyn A.C. hines, while at 4 o'clock, the feature tilt of the day will see the Tri- bune A. c. in action against the fighting Avielianese A. c. The Washington Hills will lbe idle to- morrow due to the fact that the Meriden Endees failed to make known their intention following their whipping at the hands of the Tolnmies in an exhibition last Sum- day.
 Victorious in their initial start twa weeks ago when they upset the Tribunes, Otto McCann and his North End Thomas Club Zephyrs from Naugatuck will endeavor to make 1t two in 6 row tomorrow when they take on the youthful Brooklyn A. 0. aggregation coached by Skid" Dumscott and Phil Sacco. The BAG. are expected to offer little opposition for the Naugatuck crew which bids fair to be strong contender for championship hon. ors.
 Manager McCann will again call upon the veteran Johnny Harden berg to do the hurling with George Allen on the receiving end. The rest of the borough lineup will be the same as that which worked so successfully on opening day when they handed the cocky Tribes an unexpected licking. Bill Stanton will call the balls and strikes with Joe OConnor handling the decis- ions on the bases.
 May Get Even
 Although beaten In their first time out against the Washington Hills last Sunday, Tony Romaniel- los hard-luck Aviglianese are fav- ored to break into the win column when they come to grips with Larry Mullen and his veteran Tribune array in the headliner at 4 o'clock. Gerry Flood will be Coach Mullen's choice for mound duty against the Italians. with Teddy "Sailorboy" Grabeck serving them up for the Italian outfit from the north end. Leno Castaldo will umpire at the plate while Jim Mobile officiates on the bases.
 Brooklyn fans who journeyed to the park last Sunday to SC the Drmschott-Sacco coached combine in action were sadly disappointed when their favorites were handed a one-sided beating. It is reported that the BAG, although always willing to give youngsters break" will eventually turn to signing players who will give the city's old est athletic and social club a real pennant contender.
 The Alfone brothers, Joe and Johnny, who comprise the keystone pair for the Aviglianese, turned in nice exhibitions against the Hills. Both boys are in the Navy.

 Frank Laboon, who is unbeaten in four mound starts, will get the pitching assignment for the visitors, which is no comfort to the Ellis. La- boon has a fast ball that is fast. a curve that really curves and uncan- ny control.
 Johnny Nance, home-run clout- ing outfielder, paces the visitors batting attack, while Dick McCon- nell and Bryan Leeper, his pasture patrolling mates, have no noticeable willow weaknesses.
 To offset some of this power the Yale camp is hopeful that Gordy Davis, leading the team with .435 average, will be able to return to his second base post. The peppery Mar inc trainee was shelved on Monday with an ankle sprain.
