 New York, Aug. 20-(UR) -In 1914 the Browns won the American league pennant because they could whip the Tigers; in 1945 the baue ner may go to the Tigers because they can beat the Browns.
 Maybe it is revenge that mos tivates the Tigers, but so far this season they have done better against the Browns than any other club in the league. They won their 18th game in IT starts with the Browns last night and they did t easily, Hal Newhouser pitching hisl 21st victory behind a home run barrage which netted Q 10 to ! Tiger triumph at St. Louis. Last year St. Louis won 13 of 22 games with Detroit
 It was an important gane for Detroit to win, coming after three straight losses to the nondescript Indians at Cleveland. Moreover. it cooled of the Browns who had swept back into the pennant picture with 19 victories in 24 games. Newhouser got of to a 3 to 2 lead in the first inning on Roy Culz lenbine's three-run homer. Tn the third inning Hank Greenberg and Bob Maier made it ' to 0 with S pair of two-run round trip wallopz. The Tigers were hard on the Brownie pitching staff, four men working the game with Jack Kramer, the loser.
 l Small Margin
 The victory kept Detroit a game and half ahead of Washington which put on a late drive to top the last place Athletics at PhiIa- delphia, 6 to 5. Rick Terrell won the game in the ninth with his first homer of the year after John
 (Buddy) Lewis tripled and scored on long fly to tie the score for the Senators in the eighth. Dick Sie- bert had put Philadelphia ahead 5 to 1 with sixth inning homer.
 The rapidly rejuvenating Yankees won their fifth straight game to stay in contention, beating Boston at New York, 9 to 2. Home rllns which provided the margin of vic- tory in recent Yankee victories al- most beat them yesterday. Johnny Lazor, Eddie Lake and Lamar NeW~ some hit round trippers for the Red Sox to account for five runs. Only one of the Yankee hits was for ex-
 tra bases, but they were punched
 opportunely to give Walt Dubiel hiz
 eighth win.
 Bobby Teller won his second
 straight game since leaving tho
 Navy. coasting to an 8 to vict1ry
 for the Indians over the White Son
 at Chicago. He allowed eight hitl
 and struck out six but obviously wa
 under no pressure and elected te
 take it easy. Homers by Lamberl
 (Dutch) Meyer and Les FIeminl
 gave him an early lead and Q folIl run rally in the fifth clinched tn issue.
 , Cubs Comeback The Cubs used Harry K0EFzgl 7 three run homer to beat the Pir1te at Pittsburgh, to 3 and increasI , their lead over the second pIac Cardinals to three and 8 half game in the National. The victor. ; Snapped five game Chicago l0sinl streak. Hank Borowy chalked l1I
 his fifth win since leaving tn , Yankees.
