All but four OF the rs participated
in the summer practice which end
ed two weeks ago, the outstanding
newcomer being Jack Weisenbur-

candidate.
Weisenburger passed up the sum-

A capable runner and excellent
punter, Weisenburger will probably
handle most of the kicking for the

fll the spot left by the departure
OF Don Lund and Bob Wiese.

Browns Have
Title Chance

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, apparent.
ly going into nose-dives, the SewelI.
men, 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 De-
troit and Washington tangle with
the tough Cleveland Indians and
New York Yankees respectively,
the Browns will have comparative
ly easy pickings in a four-game set
with the White Sox from whom
they've just concluded a five-game
sweep.
Yesterdays victory over the
Pale Hose marked St. Louis 18th
win in its last "a games, a 1872 pace,
or the best in the league during
the past three weeks. The Browns
have taken four straight from the
Yankees and two out OF three from
the Senators.
Although the air-tight pitching
which has featured their games in
the pas. two weeks finally fell off.
the Browns came through with
some heavy hitting to pull out yes
terday's game. Trailing rs, they
exploded for three runs in the last
of the seventh to win.
Al Hollingsworth, fourth Brown
lie pitcher Of the night, received
credit for the victory, his sixth in
a 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.
Manager Jimmy Dykes and
Coaches Mule Haas and Bing Mil
Ter OF the White Sox were banished
from the game in the seventh inn
ing for arguing over called strikes.
The only other major league &C
ton was a twi-night double header
between the New York Giants and
Philadelphia Phillies, won by the
Giants 40 and So.
