w in, Lose or Draw By BURTON HAWKINS Short Tempers in Style in Majors This Year There is no great degree of sweet companionship among the Pt. Louis Browns these days. They’ve taken to punching each other tn the dugout. all of which should illustrate that Manager Ossie Bluege of the Nats isn't the only pilot plagued by player squabbles. Short Hurt on Hawkins. tempers are the style this season. When Outfielder Walt Judnich returned to the Browns’ bench after the ninth inning of Sunday's tussle at Griffith Stadium he was greeted with no display of fondness by Pitcher Tex Shirley, who didn't relish the idea of Judnich’s throw to third base trickling into the St. Louis dugout. That permitted Mickey Vernon to score and dispatched Cecil Travis to third base with what represented the tying run, which ultimately scored. Shirley was in a high state of disgust and wasn't reluctant to convey his impressions to Judnich. who actually had unleashed an accurate throw' that took a bad hop past Third Baseman Bob Dlllinger, who was charged with the error. Anyway, one word led to others and the climax came when Judnich planted an emphatic left hook on Mr. Shirley's nose, temporarily transforming his i ea lures. It was a lusty wallop—authoritative enough to necessitate Shirley’s exit, although he had pitched a six-hit game to that point. Tex’s pitching was all right, but his catching of Judnich’s curve was faulty and so he was swatted from the game, not by the Nats but by his own centerfielder. Intra-Club Bickering No Novelty Ball players are wearing their tempers thin this year. No novelty now is intra-club bickering. It has popped out among the Nats, Tigers, Yankees and Browns and some of the St. Louis players are saying Shortstop Vernon Stephens is a gilt-edged certainty to be traded. He and Manager Luke Sewell aren't chums. Getting players to perform adequately merely is one problem confronting managers. The peevishness in the industry reached some sort of peak the other day when Pitcher Frank Biscan of the Browns refused to catch a train. He had been assigned to an upper berth and didn’t like it, which is proof positive the war is over. There have been other episodes this season. Pitcher Dizzy Trout and First Baseman Hank Greenberg mixed in a scuffle on the Detroit bench. Gerry Priddy and Bluege exchanged uncomplimentary remarks and when Gil Torres was benched he threatened to head for his Havana home. up in New York, Infielder Joe Gordon felt it necessary to summon reporters to a press conference in which he stated there was no friction between himself and Manager Bill Dickey. That was taken with what amounted to a shaker of salt by most scribes because while Gordon's motive may have been noble the facts of his denial don’t jibe with facts which poured out of the Pacific when Dickey was Lt. Dickey of the Navy and Gordon was an Army enlisted man. Those former roomies didn't hit it off. Every Team in Mood to Talk Trade Stephens and Gordon are two of the big baseball names who will figure prominently in trade talk this winter—a winter which Clark Griffith says probably will be marked by the most swapping of talent in baseball history. Every team in the league, including the first-place Boston Red Sox, will be in a mood to talk trade. Boston, despite its comfortable lead, isn't a balanced club. The Red Sox will need a first baseman, a third baseman and an outfielder for next season. The Yankees require a first baseman, plus pitching strength. Washington will dicker for a shortstop, a third baseman and a catcher. Detroit is set at third base and shortstop, but at first and second base and in the outfield the Tigers will want replacements. Bill Veeck, who has stirred Cleveland's fans with his showmanship, will be anxious to fortify the Indians and if the White Sox, Browns and Athletics don’t trade it won’t be for lack of effort. The American League is going to be submitted to a wholesale shakeup among its players. The arguing among executives at the winter meeting at Los Angeles, where most of the trade talk will develop, may rival the players’ squabble sessions. It won’t be a dull winter for baseball fans. Talk at G. W. Turns to Victories As 134 Report for Grid Drills By George Huber The football talk at George Wash ington University already is turning from how few games they might win to how few games they might lose after the unexpectedly large tumous of candidates at yester days initial drill. Coach Skip Stahley was bowled over by 134 would-be gridders who showed up on the Lincoln Memorial gridiron. Uni forms were issued to four more, and an additional 50 or so are expected before the week is out. The Colonials thus follow the pat tern already in evidence at George town and University of Maryland, where squads twice the anticipated size showed up. It's evident that collegiate gridiron machines here* abouts this season will be heftier and more rugged and experienced than had been hoped. In the crowd yesterday were 11 Colonials from the 1942 team, last outfit fielded by G. W., plus Mike Monslovich, 1941 center. Right away there looms a battle for the center position because also on hand was Ed Gustafson, Monslovich’s 1941 understudy and regular center in 1942. Both were better than good. Other old hands were John Cam barbis and Clark Butka, -tackles; Bill Mahon. Mat Mauriello and Hank Augiesewicz, guards; Nick Bubonovitch, end, and Frank Kiev, Pete Labukas. Alex Chronis and Curley Kuldell, backs. The team lost no time in getting down to serious work, with Assistant Coaches TufTy Leemans and Duke Jacobs handiing the backs, Ray Hanken the ends and A1 Sadusky the linemen. More good news for G. W. back ers is that Ted Hapanow'icz, hefty 1942 tackle, who in 1943 played at both Penn and Penn State, is re turning after all. Earlier he had decided to continue his education at Penn State, but reversed his field again and will return to the Colon ials this week. Out at the University of Mary land yesterday two more promising candidates showed up in Ralph Coleman and Jim Ostendarp. Cole man really is a tremendous boy, a 215-pound, 6-foot-l tackle from Baden, Pa , and Ostendark is a 165 pound scatback from Baltimore Poly, who played on the Terp fresh man outfit in 1942. Yesterday's drills at Maryland were devoted to extensive blocking practice for linemen and passing practice for the backs. Tommy Mont and Vic Turyn did most of the passing, and that boy Turyn is looking better every day. The battle i these two ate putting up for No. 1 quarterback position is getting hot. Examination of X-ray pictures taken of two players injured in last Saturday’s hard scrimmage resulted in no good news for the Old Liners. Halfback Hubie Werner, who figured largely in Coach Clark Shaugh nessys plans, has a broken boneiin his foot, and the cast can’t be re moved for six weeks at least. Full back Don Shipley, who had a dislo cated shoulder, is out of the hospital, but it will be several weeks before he can work again and then a spe- j cial brace and pad will be needed. Football Call Is Answered By 3 More School Squads Three more high school football teams have their fall practice under way, but the real turnout will not be until next Tuesday when District public high and nearby Virginia squads turn out. Additions to the list yesterday were made by St. John's, Montgom ery Blair and Bethesda-Chevy Chase. Gonzaga has been drilling for a week. Coach Gene Augusterfer greeted more than 50 candidates yesterday 1 at St. Johns, with Knute Flanery, j ace back, heading the list. Parker i Kirby, another talented back, and Olaf Brockdorf, end. were among the more than 70 boys reporting to Coach Reno Continetti at Blair for the start of the Silver Spring school's second season. Bill Briggs and Bill Stahr, both i | veteran backs, were on hand with 1 about 50 others at Bethesda. 24 VA Bowling Teams , To Open League Sept. 3 Twenty-four teams will open the ; Veterans Administration bowling league on September 3 at Lafayette Alleys at 5:30 p.m. Plans for opening ceremonies an nounced by President Elmer Gusack call for a girl sponsor to roll the first ball for each team.

L. Lead —i. .i ■ mi. • - Ex-Bullpen Worker Forces Dodgers Into Tough Spot in Race By Jock Hond Anociated Pre»» Sportj Writer Murry Dickson, once an obscure bullpen worker, but now one of the top pitchers in the league, Is the most important single reason why the St. Louis Marry Diskroa. Cardinals have wrested the Na tional League lead from the Brooklyn Dodg ers. Dickson was overlooked last spring when Manager Eddie Dyer still thought he could count on Max Lanier, now in Mexico, and Rookie Red Martin to take their regular turns, nut ne began to click and last night he turned back the Dodg ers, 2-1, in a victory that restored the Red Birds to first place by a full game. Dickson now boasts an impressive 12-4 win record. Dickson’s success last night put heavy pressure on the Brooklyn club, which has to win today's series final or move on to Chicago trailing by two games. Each team has 33 games to play and the Dodgers will be playing 20 of them at Ebbets Field as compared to only 15 home dates for the Cardinals. Cubs Shut Out Giants. Chicago’s Cubs, a distant third, but still an outside factor in the race, shut out New York, 1-0, to remain nine games off the pace. Hank Wyse earned the nod over Rookie Monte Kennedy, allowing no Giant runners to reach second base. Pittsburgh put a crimp in Boston s third-place ambitions with a 3-2 vic tory that left the Braves five lengths back of the Cubs. Elbie Fletcher’s double with the bases loaded in the ninth provided the winning margin for Ken Heintzel man over Johnny Niggeling. Dick Mauney of the Phillies blanked Cincinnati, 5-0, on four hits as his mates climbed on Starter Johnny Hetki and Bob Malloy for 11 blows. In the American League, Boston calmly continued to eliminate clubs mathematically from the pennant race, knocking out Cleveland with a 5-1 loss. Any combination of 15 Boston wins or New York defeats now would assure the Sox of no worse than a tie. Hughson Back In Form. Tex Hughson's five-hit perfor mance probably was of more impor tance that the elimination of the Indians because it showed Manager Joe Cronin that Tex is regaining his midseason form for the World Series. New York boosted its second place margin over Detroit to four games 3y walloping the Tigers. 10-6. on a seven-run eighth inning. Clarence Marshal, who threw only one ball, received credit for the win over Re liefer Stubby Overmire. Dick Fowler turned in another fine pitching job for Philadelphia shut-’ ting out Chicago, 3-0, with eight singles. The A's pecked away at Ralph Hammer for runs in the sec ond, third and fourth.

Brownell Capital's Main Hope In Trials for National Golf By Merrell Whittlesey Star Staff Correspondent BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 27.— Washington hasn’t placed a golfer past the second round of the Na tional Amateur championship since 1936 and the District hopefuls here for today’s sectional qualifying rounds at Baltimore Country Club's Five Farms course think it’s time for a change. The 36-hole qualifying round to day is the first step in a long climb for any District or Maryland am ateurs who have ambitions of mov ing up in the company of Bud Ward or Frank Stranahan, the current standouts among the Nation’s top amateur golfers. The six low scorers of the field of 38 will go to Baltusrol September 9-15 where they face another 36-hole test over the famed New Jersey course. If among the low 64 there, then they start match play rounds. Toss out two players, Manor Club's Bobby Brownell and Maryland State Champion Otto Greiner, and the scrap for the National berths today figures to be as unpredictable as a battle royal. Brownell, who qualified for match play and won a first round encounter in 1938 and 1939, hopes to better those performances. The slender FBI agent has been playing what he terms spotty golf, but that’s if you call an occasional 73 and 74 spotty. Usually, he's a par threat every time out. D. C. Golfers Scored Upsets. Brownell, who played a practice round between showers yesterday with a delegation from Columbia Country Club, Martin McCarthy, Earle Skinker and Tommy Webb, agreed that Washington’s amateur golf prestige has hit a new low. He Intends to do something about it. Levi Yoder, who won a pair of matches when the National Amateur was an all-match play affair in 1936. was the last local qualifier to go three rounds. Roger Peacock went four rounds before defeat the pre vious year and when you go past 1936 you’re into the days of Roland Mackenzie and George Voigt, the latter a transplanted New Yorker at the time. MacKenzie was semifinalist in 1927, medalist in 1925. Voigt went to the semifinals in 1935, an all Best Hurlers Victims Of Williams' Swing •y tho Associated Prest NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Nobody can point an accusing finger at Ted Williams and say the Boston Red Sox's slugging outfielder has picked on second rate pitchers to build up his remarkable life-time batting mark of .354, third highest in the history of major league baseball. On the contrary, Williams, in five big league years, has enjoyed some of his best days at the plate against the finest pitchers in baseball. Bis batting average against 16 of the American League's best pitchers, in cluding such top flight moundsmen as Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser, Spud Chandler and Bobo Newsom, is a cool .351, only three points below his percentage against all types of pitching. Although Feller, Clevelahd's great righthander, has beaten the Red Sox 19 tftnes in 30 meetings, he holds no terror for the Boston bomber, in 71 trips to the plate against blazing Bob, Williams has connected for 24 hits for a neat .338* batting average. Eleven hits went for extra bases, four of them home runs. BASEBALL TONITE-8:30 P.M.

Voigt also reached the semifinals in 1928 and the quarter-finals in '29 Washington golfers have scored some notable triumphs in the Na tional Amateur, however. Brownell s defeat of Texas’ Walker Cup player Reynolds Smith, in 1938 at Oakmont was the biggest surprise of the first round. Claude Rippy bounced pres ent Champion Bud Ward in 1936 and Yoder ousted Francis Ouimet in 1935. Golfers Get Cold Shoulder. The District divoters who showed up for practice yesterday found e cool reception. The Maryland State Golf Association, in charge of the trials, had been told by the host clut that practice rounds would not be allowed, but the association did not announce the fact. Thus Brownell's foursome. Gene Pittman of Congressional, Roy Smitt of Manor and a trio from Indiar Spring, Alan Weisberg, George Thornton and Gren Gabrielson, were forced to round up a member, and pay greens fees as guests, a situation that proved embarrassing to all. The USGA advocates free practice days, but Five Farms chose to ignore the request. U. S. Amateur Berths Eyed by 892 Golfers iy th» Associated Press NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—The field for the National Amateur golf tournament opening at Springfield, N. J., September 9, will be com pleted today, when 892 golfers swing for the remaining 141 starting berths in qualifying tests on 29 courses throughout the country. Defending Champion Bud Ward and seven other well-known golfers will relax on the sidelines while the rest of the third largest group of entrants in tournament history strive to make the championship field in 36-hole trials. The eight are exempt by virtue of having won United States or British amateur titles. A ninth player who has qualified for the week-long championship grind at Springfield's Baltusrol Golf Club is John L. Ukauka, winner of the lone berth awarded to Hawaii in a sectional test at Honolulu two weeks ago. He bested six other Ha waiian entrants. Although 28 sectional fields will fire both their 18-hole rounds to day, the Minneapolis 'group started yesterday with the initial round at the Minikahda Club, where a dozen golfers are shooting for two starting berths.

Nats Looking to Wynn, Victor Over Browns, As '47 Slab Leader The nucleus of Washington’s 1947 pitching staff is the talented trio of Bobo Newsom, Mickey Haefner and Early Wynn and If the Nats can come up with two more starters as fully proficient they'll have a sizeable start toward a vastly im proved club. Newsom, since joining the Nats in June, has won nine games and lost four. Haefner has taken 11 games and dropped eight, while Wynn has won five and lost two, all of which adds to a combined .841 record for that threesome, despite pitching for a club which has slumped hor ribly in hitting. Washington twice has won pennants with less re spectable percentages. Manager Ossie Bluege is equipped with six pitchers who could plug the two starting berths and estab lish the Nats’ staff as a potent weapon next season, but they haven’t displayed the consistency of Newsom, Haefner and Wynn. In Roger Wolff, Dutch Leonard, Sid Hudson, Ray Scarborough and Milo Candini, the Nats have hurlers who have shown flashes of brilliance, then lapsed into streaks of in efficiency. Wynn is Most promising. If Clark Griffith were forced to choose one pitcher around which to construct a staff, the selection doubtless would be Wynn. Newsom, at an admitted 37 years of age, and Haefner, who soon will be 34, would be tossed out on age and the 26 year-old Wynn would get the nod. Since being discharged from the Army last month, Wynn has started seven games and finished six. His 5-2 record is highly creditable, for all of his pitching has been per formed at. a time when the Nats have been bothered by infield trouble and lack of hitting. One of Wynn’s defeats, incidentally, was a 1-0 loss to Chicago. The husky right-hander limited St. Louis to six hits last night in registering a 5-2 victory as the Nats unloaded five of their nine hits in the third inning to collect all their runs. Aided by a walk and two errors, the Nats poured five singles into that hectic third inning. I Wynn was nicked for two runs in the fifth when Bob Dillinger walked, Jeff Heath rapped a triple off the right field fence and Walt Judnich singled, but Early then braced to restrict the Browns to one hit in the final four innings.
