The st. Louis Cardinals dominated
baseball, winning their third
straight National League pennant
and humbling the Browns in SIX
games IN the first all-St. Louis
series.
Browns Provide Surprise.
The Red Birds won the bunting
by 14h-game margin. The
Browns, the surprise of the baseball
world, captured the American
League laurels by one game, win
ming out over the Detroit Tigers on
the last day of the 154-game cam
paign. They swept a four-game
series with the New York Yankees
to do it.
Jim Tobin Of the Boston Braves
turned in two no-hit, no-run games
while Clyde Shoun of the Cincin-
natl Reds had one. However, over
the season, the pitching of Detroit s
winningest pair, Hal Newhouser and
Paul Dizzy Trout, was outstanding
They accounted for 54 victories, the
first time that it has happened in
the American League since 1920
when Stan Coveleskie and Jim Bag
by, sr., of Cleveland collaborated in
taking IS. Newhouser's 20 triumphs
almost matched the 81 of Lefty
Grove OF the 1881 PHILADELPHIA
Athletics and the 30 Of Dizzy Dean

1857 to lead the majors. He de-
throned the Cards Stan Musial. who

Army Paced Football.
Collegiate football-and GIs-re-

Army, possibly one of the great
elevens of all time, and the team

game schedule without defeat. The
Cadets scored point a minute and
limited the opposition to four touch

High light of the campaign was
Army's surprising total of So points
against Notre Dame, the worst lick

season ended with Army beating

per cent in June, he said. This was
one of the smallest lags in critical
equipment and weapons.
The degree Of acceleration in pro-
curement that must be met for the
remainder Of 1914, he said, can be
gauged by the following:
Deliveries during the first six
months averaged only one-tenth of
l per cent more than the 1913
monthly average. -.
June Deliveries Declined.
June deliveries were rs per cent
less than the 1943 monthly average.
Forecasts for the next six months
call for average deliveries 14.5 per
cent above the 1943 monthly aver
age and ia per cent above June
production.
October, the forecast peak month
for 1914, calls for deliveries 2l5 per
cent larger than the 1913 monthly
average, and 24.6 per cent above
those in June, 1914.
Asked at one point of the con-
ference what was required of in

duction he shot back: We've got
to get greater sense Of urgency
He then added that Is per cent

Gen. Somervell declared the
requisite output Of munitions for
the need Of the Army air and
ground forces is becoming ''increas-
ingly difficult to obtain, not only
in the face Of failure to meet the
lprevious schedules, but because OF
