BY JOE REICHLER,

While others have been stealing
the spotlight, the American League
Champion st. Louis Browns are
quietly going about playing the
brand of baseball that may gain
them their second straight flag.
With Detroit and Washington, the
only two teams ahead of the Browns
in the standings, apparently going
into nose-dives, the Sewellmen, as
a result Of last nights 81 triumph
over the Chicago White Sox, are
only four games out of first place.
and may sneak into the lead by
Labor Day.
Should st. Louis sweep the two
game series with the Tigers starting
today, they will stand a very good
chance to overtake the Bengals and
Mats. For while Detroit and WASH
ington tangle with the tough Cleve-
land Indians and New York Yankees
respectively, the Browns will have
comparatively easy pickings in
four-game set with the White Sox
from whom they've just concluded
f1ve-game sweep.
Browns Won 10 of "a.
Yesterdays victory over the Pale
Hose marked st. Louis 18th win in
it's last "a games, a 1872 pace, or
the best in the league during the
last three weeks. The Browns have
taken four straight from the Yam
KEGS and two out of three from the
Senators.
Although the air-tight pitching
which has featured their games in
the last two weeks finally fell off
the Browns came through with
some heavy hitting to pull out yes
terday's game. Trailing, ST, they
exploded for three runs in the last
OF the seventh to win.
AL Hollingsworth, fourth Brownie
pitcher of the night, received credit
for the victory, his sixth in row.
Vern Stephens helped with his 18th
homer in the fifth with one on. Oris
Hockett's grand slam homer for
the Sox in the seventh went to
waste
Dykes, Coaches Banished.
Manager Jimmy Dykes and
Coaches Mule Haas and Bing Miller
of the White Sox were banished
from the game in the seventh in
ming for arguing over called strikes.
The only other major league &C
ton was a twinight double header
between the New York Giants and
Philadelphia Phillies, won by the
Giants, 40 and 6-2. Bill Voiselle
fashioned a three hitter to shut
out the National League cellarites
in the opener. Sal Maglie gave up
nine hits to register his third win
in the nightcap. Nap Reyes loaded
bases triple started Charley Schanz
on the road to ruin in the first
contest, while Outfielder Leon
Treadway paced the Giants hitters
in the second, with three safeties
off Pitcher Dick Mauney, including
two runs batted in.

youth back to the national pastme.
There always is cry for catchers, especially
young ones, coming from the big leagues, but the
minors never appear to have enough to meet the
demands The young talent arriving in the lesser
leagues is ready and willing to do anything other
than work behind the bat it seems.
Even those lads who caught in high school
and on the sandlots prefer to try out as outfeld-
ers or infielders Some of the more ambitious
ones even hint that with their strong throwing
arms they might be available for pitching
The dearth of catchers has become appalling

Local Scouts To Aid In Drive 10
Rehabiliiaie Scouting In Europe

Boy members and adult leaders
of the Blue Mountain Council, Boy
Scouts of America, living in Is
counties in eastern Oregon and
southeast Washington will con-
tribute to "World Friendship
FUND.- to help reorganize Scouting
in allied countries devastated by
the war, it was announced today
by r. D. McDermott, scout ex-
ecutive of the council.
Each cub, scout and leader who
believes in the ideal of world
scout brotherhood will be given
an opportunity to contribute per-
sonally whatever he wishes. In
addition, troops and cub packs
will decide the method and extent
of their participation.
The World Friendship Fund was
launched by the National Council
of the Boy Scouts Of America
which has underwritten the cost
of the promotion and administra-
ton.
In outlining the program to the
local Boy Scout council, Gilbert
K. Fretwell, chief scout executive,
wrote, Through the fund we have
the opportunity to make a still
bigger contribution to world
friendship. The scouts in the ru-
ined countries have few resources.

They need cloth for uniforms,
equipment, handbooks, and help
in the reorganization of their
scout program.
He reported that scout associa-
tons of other lands are already
helping to rebuild scouting. Can
ada, he said, has printed scout
handbooks in foreign languages
through their "Chins Up Fund.-
and although many British scouts
lost their own homes they raised
a fund to help brother scouts in
liberated lands.
Parents whose son was former
Boy Scout and who has given
his life in the war may wish to
contribute to the World Friend
ship Fund in his name so that the
movement may continue to flour
ish and help promote peace
throughout the world.
Scout troops and Cub packs may
contribute from their units treas.
ury or money earned, such as
through the collection and sale
of waste paper, still sorely needed
in the war effort. Some units
plan special scout entertainments
to donate the proceeds. No sum
has been suggested as a contribu-
ion. The World Friendship Fund

Vacation Close 10
Home Is Plea

An appeal to Pacific Coast resi-
dents in large cities and rural
communities ito vacation close to
home and not travel except in
cases of absolute necessity" was
made today by the Office of De-
tense Transportation in remind
er that the end of the war in
Europe now means full redeploy-
ment of armies and war materials
to the Pacific"
ODT said that organizations, the
military, public and private
groups from Canada to the Next
can border are being asked to
acquaint "every man, woman and
child" with facts about West
Coast transportation requirements
(which clearly show the need
to preserve space for military and
essential travel"
For example, ODT cited that
while there has been ga slight
easing of coach space, which at
any time may be pushed suddenly
against the ceiling, sleeping Pull
man Accommodations are tighter
than ever in railroad history.
"Out of a total of. $3.50 Pull
man sleepers, the armed services
are using regularly over 4,O30
of these cars. As military needs
become greater, even regular line
Pullmans are taken. Of the $500
Pullman sleepers remaining in
regular line use, 1920 are held
for government or military reser-
vations up until train time. On
some western roads, the proper
ton is even greater. This means
that up to train time only 1880
Pullman sleepers are actually a.
valuable for civilian travel in the
entire United States as compared
with total of about 1000 before
the war.
"It is no WONDER" ODT declar-
ed, "that sleeping reservations are
hard to get. Everyone knows that
after three years hard work and
privations, folks now are getting
itchy feet to 60 places. But, we
frankly ask them to apply the
vacation salve by using local
transportation to nearby resorts
and recreation areas.
Success of the war effort to
beat the japs needs the help of
everyone in continuing to avoid
inter-city vacation travel"
