Sluggish Indians Edge
Browns, 2-1, in Spite
OF Feeble Hitting
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

CLEVELAND. Sept. /. - Still

dians managed to win theil first
game in four tries tonight. defeat

pulled them to within game OF
the first-place Yankees.

two runs off wild Tommy Byrne.
In the first inning, Luke didn't
touch the ball, but walked with
the bases loaded to force n the
first run. Again, with the DaSes
loaded in the seventh, Luke tapped
feebly and was out at first, but
Bob Avila scored on the play.
Still in sort of Elream-like
trance at the plate, the Indians
could figure out Byrne for only
six hits and couldn't take advan-
tage of his Wildness. Byrne walked
10, but the Indians left II men
on bases.
The Browns were ineffective in
the clutch. too. They got nine
hits, but left 10 men on base
Their one run was scored in the
second inning when Freddie Marsh
singled to center, scoring Cliff
Mapes from third.
1t was Early Wynn's 10th vic
tory. He was the last Cleveland
pitcher to win a game before the
Indians started their losing streak
of three.

The idea was to re-enact the

Eventually, Muddy Ruel crossed
the plate but not precisely under

from second base on Earl Nc

1924. There were tears of JOY shed
then; yesterday, laughter.

Crippled Savitt Wins
Stirring Net Victory;

BY the Associated Press

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. l..
Dick Savitt scored one of the
greatest victories of his meteoric

Savitt's Slams Foil Patty.
The day was gloomy one and
the entire Sayitt-Patty match was
played in semidarkness. This
proved to be to Savitt's advan-
tage as he had much the harder
service and his ability to slam
his bullets past Patty in the tense
fifth set probably proved the ul-
innate difference.
Patty, who preceded Savitt as
Wimbledon champion. put up a
great fight and never surrendered
even when he trailed by Ia in
the final set. But he couldn't quite
match Savitt's big game, best in
the amateur world today.

and almost took the second set.
He ran off the third set with
ease.
Then Seixas suddenly cut loose
and began blasting with every
thing he had. He ripped through
six straight games for the third
set and the final set merely was
more of the same.
