Yunks, Victims in Browns 10th
In Row, Fade as FLAG Threat
BY JACK HAND.

ASSOCIATED fTeSS 0pOTlS "TltcI.
Joe McCarthy's world cham
pions' rested in fourth place today
nine and one-half games back and
no longer a threat to st. Louis bid
for its first American League pen
nant unless the age of miracles is
just around the corner.
When Denny Galehouse shut out
the New Workers with six singles
yesterday, 80, allowing only one
man to reach second base, he
drained most of the hope from the
Yankee fans who had banked on a
clean sweep or at least three out of
four from the Brownies to put them
back in the running.
Browns Score 10th in Row.
1t was the Browns 10th straight
victory, the longest string in the
league this year, topping their SEN
sational opening squirt by one and
protected their six-and-one-h half
game margin on second-place Bos-
ton.
New York skeptics who had waited
for ST. Louis to pull the accordion
act were convinced Luke Sewell' S
talented crew was the most consist
ent club in the. circuit and headed
for a World Series cut. Talk was
that the series slices might not be as
generous as usual because of the
limited capacity of Sportsman
Park, but they will be juicy enough
for the Brownies. who never had a
taste.

will extend from November 2 to
January 20, an increase of 10 days.
The general bag limit for ducks
remains at 10, but an additional
bag of five mallards, widgeons and
pintails, singly or in the aggregate,
is allowed. Thus, if a hunter kills
five or more of those species a day,
his bag limit on all ducks is Is. The
Fish and Wildlife Service refused to
permit the taking of waterfowl by
means of bait or with the help of
live decoys as urged by many hunt
GERS. Regulations covering the
shooting hours and the number of
shells permitted are unchanged
from last year. Shooting is per-
mltted from one-half hour before
sunrise until sunset. Guns must be
plugged to hold no more than three
shells in the aggregate, including
the one in the chamber. DR.. Ira N.
Gabrielson, Fish and Wildlife di-
rector, said that this increase in
the bag limit and in shooting days
purely is a temporary expedient"
to help farmers and will not be con-
tlnued beyond this season unless
crop protection makes it necessary.
He said the increase in mallards,
Wldgeons and pitfalls has been not
able, and they are the species which
do the most damage to crops. The
daily bag limit on geese and brant
remains at two. Only one wood
duck may be included, but red
heads and buffleheals will be al
lowed in the daily limit and not
restricted to only three a day as
last year.

been kind to them this season. For

tough luck against the Tigers.
Johnny Niggeling had his share
OF misfortune last night as the
Tigers licked the Mats. 3 to O. over
a 10-inning stretch, what with los

Trout pitched f1ve-hitter, too, to

Hal NeWhouser, his clubmate, and
Tex Hughson Of Bostons Red Sox

The Mats last night never were
able to muster a sound punch for

An error by the third baseman put
Powell on at the start of the sixth,
but he was forced out by Boland

Some hope of tying run at least

18th extra-inning game for the Mats
and their 18th beating in overtime.
They have lost their last six ex-

1nfleld play by the Mats bordered
on the spectacular. Wyatt and Sui

Faces Same Struqq|e
American Baseball
League Survived
BY WHITNEY MARTIN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Pro foot
ball seems to be suffering from
growing pains, and it is to be hoped
1t comes through them as happily
as did the major baseball leagues.
The current ache involves the
question of whether or not Dean
McAdams, halfback, signed a con-
tract with the Seattle club of the
new West Coast American League
while he was supposed to be the
property of the Washington Red
skins of the National League.
Regardless of the merits or de-
merits of this case, it gives a clue to
what might happen through too
sudden expansion and cutthroat,
cthics-be-darned attitude toward
the signing of athletes.
The National League, firmly es-
tablished and with corner on the
name players currently available,
naturally would resent any tamper-
ing with its signed and sealed per-
formers, and its rules provide stern
punishment for any guilty parties.
Coast Loop in Tough Spot.
This puts the new Coast organ
ization in rather tough spot, since,
unless it can make contact with re-
turned servicemen who have no pro
league affiliations before the Ma
tional League clubs get around to it,
and can offer proper financial in
ducements, it must be content with
the scrapings of the bin.
However, the West Coast group,
possibly resenting the self-appoint-
ed authority of the older circuit,
might feel it is able to stand alone,
defying the National League. In
such case it would feel no qualms
about approaching players under
contract to National League teams
and offering them more juicy terms
And If the players were convinced
the new league was sound and would
provide steady employment for the
duration of their playing careers
they might shift their loyalty. 1t
might be an outlaw league so far
as the National League was con-
cerned, but the money would be
inlaw, you might say.
American League Makes Grade.
The American Baseball League
was founded in much the same
manner. Proceeding under the
theory that star players were more
important from the gate stand
point than well-balanced, starless
teams, the American League clubs
raided the National League, Turing
away stars SO that the new clubs
would have two or three name play
ers in their line-ups. even if the
rest of the line-ups were made up
of guys named Gus.
The American League prospered
and forced the recognition of the
National. Whether or not the West
Coast Football League could use
the same methods and force recog-
milton is problematical. Aside from
the player angle, there is no con-
flict. since at least for the present
there is no territory infringement.
In normal times league such as
