 New York, July 13-(UP)-King | for day at least, Louis (Bobo) l Newsom of the Athletics mustered | temporarily sympathetic listeners today for his claims that Louis (Bobo) Newsom is the greatest pitcher he ever saw.
 Folks will listen to Bobo as long 1 as he is winning, but they haven't l been bothered much of late because l until yesterday he had dropped 12 games in row. It's an ordeal to | listen, especially when he starts | talking about himself in the third | person, coming up with such fam tastic claims as now watch OF Bobo pitch the oP Athletics to the | pennant' He still insists he can do it, and fans can't deny that he wasn't on the right track yesterday.
 Big Bobo finally won ball game, a four-hit, 4 to 0 shutout over the | Browns, and it was 8 mighty sweet victory over ex-team mates whom he dislikes thoroughly. Coupled with second game, Il to 0 three hitter by Jess Flores, the Browns were provided with the worst one day humiliation suffered in many l a season by a pennant defending 1 club. The double shutout at the hands of the tail-enders, who are 19 1-2 games off the pace, dropped the Browns into seventh place tie with the impotent Indians. An dit came after the As limped home from road trip in which they won just two out of 9 games. Personal embarrassment came to Sigmund Janucki, lower to Newsom, who was stopped after six straight victories. Although it isn't hard for Newsom to beat former colleagues, the i Browns are his special hate. They have let him go three different times and he is contemptuous of their status as defending cham pions.
 Wyse Stopped Holmes
 For the ending of streaks the Braves double bill at Chicago was an even better proposition. Tommy Holmes of the Braves, who had gone 37 games without failing to get at least one hit, had the mis- fortune to encounter crafty Hank Wyse of the Cubs on one of his best days. Wyse gave up only three hits fin all in beating the Braves, 6 to l, and Holmes didn't get any of them. That gave the Cubs a string ot H. straight victories, but Boston promptly put stop to that and to a 1O-game winning streak by Hur- Ter Claude Passeau in winning the | second game, to 1, behind the five-hit pitching of Nate Andrews.
 The Dodgers kept pace with the Cubs by splitting at Cincinnati beating the Reds, Il to 5, with barrage of unearned runs after los- ing the opener, to 3. The Reds made all their first game runs 1n the seventh inning to give Joe Bow man his seventh victory in eight | starts since being waived out of | the American league. Art Herring | won the second game for the Dodg- CTS.
 Detroit's lead in the American was reduced to three and half | games when Tiger Ace Hal New houser last a to 1 duel to rookie Jim Wilson at Boston. It was Will sons third win over the Tigers ana second over Newhouser.
 Emil Dutch) Leonard won his 10th game for the Senators, A 4 to | 2 homecoming triumph over White | Sox southpaw ace Thorton Lee that gave the Senators undisputed sec- ond place.
 A three-run homer by Jeff Heath of the Indans beat the Yankees at | New York, ' to 4, and dropped them to third. Relief pitcher Marvin | Center beat hard-luck Ernie Bon- ham, who dropped his eighth game. Mickey Rocco and Frankie Hayes also hit Cleveland homers and ] George Stirnweiss got one for New York.
 Nick Good Night Man
 The Pirates, after a disastrous | road trip, got off to good start at home as Nick Strincevich shut out the Phillies, to 0, on five hits for his ninth win. It was his sixth straight victory and his fourth straight at night.
 The Giants upset the Cards in 10 | innings at St. Louis, g to T, when Danny Gardella scored two runs with a double after Mel Ott hit three-run homer as a pinch hitter to keep the New Workers in the running. The Cards tied it in the ninth when Johnny Hopp singled home Debs GarnIs. Relief pitcher Ace Adams win his sixth game.
