 New York, June 21-(UP)-The St. Louis Browns, lacking punch at the palte as usual, apparently tried to make up for 1t by throwing plen- ty of them in the Chicago White Sox dugout, giving new Baseball Commissioner, Sen. Albert B. (Hap- py) Chandler, one of his first major headaches today.
 The short-tempered Browns have dropped IA of their last 23 games, tumbling into sixth place last night with their latest defeat, to l, by the White Sox, during which the fracas took place All of which backs the belief of some experts who sized up the Brownies as "one-year-won- ders" about to round out double play of "rags-to o-riches-to-rags."
 Chandler, who t ook over formal ly as commissioner this week, prob- ably will want full report of the happenings at St. Louis, although details from both sides are little fuzzy.
 Relief pitcher George Caster, vic- tim with starter Al HollingsWorth of four-run outburst in the eighth inning which cost the Browns the game, was yanked by Manager Luke Sewell. Caster threw the ball toward the White Sox dugout in disgust. Manager Jimmy Dykes of the Sox protested to umpire Art Passarella, and while the argument grew white hot, the Browns stormed the Chi cago bench.
 Carl Scheel, ex-marine and bat ting practice pitcher for the White Sox, was singled out and reportedly suffered a terrific pummeling. The Browns complained he was guilty of "unccuth jockeying," almost pre- cisely the same charge which was leveled by the Washington Sena- tors against the Browns in base balls number one feud of 1914
 Ed Lopat, going the route for Chicago, also touched off the win- ming rally with a single in the eighth.
