Braves Upset Bruins As Borowy Loses, 2 Cards Win and Gain Hank Borowy, whose purchase by the Chicago Cubs from the New York Yankees a couple of weeks ago stirred so much excitement, received his first setback yesterday since joining the National League, when the Boston Braves handed the league leading Bruins a 2 1 defeat. me Chicago defeat, accom plished almost singlehandedly by the Loop's top batter, Tommy Holmes, who drove in both Bos ton runs with a single and home run, coupled with the St. Louis Cardinals' victory over the New York Giants narrowed the Cubs' lead over the Redbirds to four and a half games. As in Thursday's game, 'the Cards needed one big inning to down the Giants, 4 2. Bill Voiselle suffered his eleventh loss against 12 triumphs, Curt Davis, who had lost his last four starts, returned to winning form and pitched Brooklyn to a 9 4 victory over Cincinnati.

New York Yankees gained valuable ground in the American League race by knocking over the Cleveland Indians, 10 4, while both the Tigers of Detroit and Washington's Senators were beaten. The Yankees pounded four Tribe hurlers for 15 hits, including homers by Hershel Martin and Wick Etten to make it easy for Allen Gettel to register his sixth win. Allie Reynolds suffered his eleventh loss for the Indians against 12 victories. The red hot White Sox of Chicago made it two out of three from the Nats, 6 3, with Thornton Lee pitching six hit ball. It was the seventh win nine starts for the Dykesmen, all against the Tigers and Senators.

Wlnninc nitchr Losing pitcher Berry, Catcher Walker Cooper Predicts Bob Feller Will Reach New Heights in Post War Era By Jerry Liska Great Lakes, 111., Aug. 11, (JP) Strikeout king Bob Feller, who was on the threshold of pitching immortality before the war, will climb to even greater mound heights when he sheds his Navy blue.

That prediction comes from one of baseball's finest receivers, Walker Cooper of the St. Louis Cardinals, now a mate of the former Cleveland star at Great Lakes Naval Training Sta tion. "I won't say Bob will be as fast as ever," drawls Cooper. "Some of the hop seems to be missinff from that "terrific fast ball he used to have. "But he'll be back to the In dians still a great pitcher more mature and able to offset any loss of speed with control and clever ness.

Hes ony 27 ana neu im Drove with each season back in harness." Lest anybody get the impress sion that Rapid Robert no longer rates that monicker, Cooper quickly points out that Feller "definitely" is faster right now than any pitchers currently doing business in the majors. "I caught Bob in an exhibition game back in 1941 and of course, he was blazing fast then," recalls Walker. "He still burns that ball across, out irom wnai i Know of his prewar speed, I'd say a little of the daring hop is missing now." Navy routine, which makes baseball secondary, Cooper explains, may be the reason. "Don't forget, you don't leave any morn ing calls in the Navy. You're up and around at dawn, and by the time baseball is squeezed into the.

daily schedule, the day is almost over." Yes, Feller is faster than Mort Cooper, Walker's brother, who recently was traded by the Cardinals to the Boston Braves a Grid Drills Will Open August 19 The Pennsylvania Interscholas tic Athletic Association announced yesterday that preliminary practice for the 1945 scholastic football season will open August 19, a week earlier than in the past, under a new rule. "Teams are prohibited under the new ruling from playing games prior to Friday of the third full week of practice," said Executive Secretary Edmund Wicht," but this section will not be enforced this year, due to some teams having already signed contracts for early games.

"Mort, of course, has splendid control and is equally effective in the clutch," Walker suggests with pardonable family pride. And Bob Praises Walker Chief Specialist Feller, who is quick to credit Cooper's arrival with saving his Bluejacket nine from an unimpressive season, has ungrudging admiration for waller's all around skill.

"It's a real thrill to be throwing to a smart catcher again." With Cooper behind the plate, Feller pitched a no hitter against the Ford All Stars of Dearborn, and blanked the National League leading Chicago Cubs late in July. Cubs On A String "In that no hitter, Walker just let me throw anything I wanted," recounts Feller.

"Before the Cub game, we got in a huddle and Cooper gave me the lowdown on the Cub hitters and we had them on a string."

The rest of the outdoor fight card reads like a page from the books on fighters who have never been knocked out and so evenly matched are the contestants in each of the six round preliminaries that spectators are in for a real thrill.

I Golden Gloves champ in 1942, Johnny Ruth, Harrisburg, will meet Sammy Jetson, Philadelphia, who has won every fight since he turned pro. Ruth fought in five professional bouts, winning them all, before he entered the Army several years ago. During his overseas service, he met 51 opponents in England, chalking up 46 wins. Recently' discharged on the Army point system with 115 points, he has taken up where he left off and his record is just as good as ever.

"At least, I'm not bearing down on every batter," he explains. "That means throwing maybe six pitches to each hitter under pressure. Good hitters will foul off a couple of pitches most of the time." Cooper, who came to Great Lakes early in May and in his first 100 times at bat averaged .327 and drove across 29 runs, thinks that, like Feller, most of the large St. Louis Cardinal pitching contingent in the armed forces will find a place in baseball's postwar "I don't think such pitchers as Johnny Beazley, Howie Pollet, Howie Krist, Ernie White, Murry Dickson, Freddy Schmidt or Al Brazle will find it hard to pick up where they left off," Cooper declares. "They'll be in shape and it'll be only a matter of time before they get back the old touch." Cooper, incidentally, provides Feller with his tallest receiver since the Iowa farm boy meteored to fame 1936.

Walker stands 6 feet, 3 inches, a head taller than the 5 foot, 7 inch Frankie Pytlak who caught Feller when the Tribe fireballer set a modern ma jor league record of 18 strikeouts against the Tigers, Oct. 2, 1938. Browns' Baseball Owner Steps Out St. Louis, Aug. 11, () The leadership of the St.

Louis Browns was relinquished by Don Barnes, ruddy faced president of the American League baseball club yesterday in a surprise move which elevated Richard C. JMuck erman, St. Louis businessman from the vice presidency to At a meeting of the board of directors Barnes announced sale of his stock to Muckerman, who now holds shares representing 56 per cent, of the total, or control ling interest. "I went into baseball, not as a business enterprise, but to give St. Louis an American League pennant," Barnes said "and now that the Browns have won it and the club's financial position is favorable I feel my purpose has been accomplished." He asserted the Browns' pres ent poor showing in the American League race did not prompt his decision to leave the club.

He said he has no future plans in the sports field except to continue as an enthusiastic supporter of the Browns and "take a rest and stand on the sidelines for awhile." He mentioned a trip to Europe when war conditions improve. Rumors Discounted Both Muckerman and Barnes discounted rumors of any dissen sion on the board of directors. Muckerman, although never active in baseball as a player, has been 'interested in the Browns for many years, even before 1936 when Barnes acquired the club's ranchise or a reported $350,000 Since that time he has ac quired blocks of Brown stock on the open market and finally ap proached Barnes to open the transaction announced today. Barnes reportedly held about 50,000 shares with a value of ap proximately $200,000. "I have too many other In terests to give the Browns a lot of my time, so there won't be any changes the management, and "I'm well satisfied also with Manager Luke Sewell and he def initely will be retained for 1946," Muckerman said.

Sewell led the Browns to their first American League pennant last year, the St. Louis Cardinals defeating them the World Series, four games to two. Today the Browns were in seventh place, nine games behind the league leading Tigers. The transaction included the Browns' interests In the Toledo Club of the American Association; San Antonio of the Texas League; Springfield, 111., of the Three Eye League, and Youngs town of the Ohio State League. Sports to Share Post War Boom Portland, Aug.

11, UP) Postwar baseball, football and swimming rather than boxing will be first to share in the greatest boom in sports' history, Navy Commander James J. (Gene) Tunney, former heavyweight champion, predicted yesterday during a visit with Rear Admiral Oliver M. Read, commander of destroyers, North Atlantic Fleet, "Baseball, football and swim ming will get the most benefit from the hard training and refr reational opportunities the serv ices have given their men," Tun. ney explained. "Those sports have been stressed because more men can participate in them," he continued "Boxing, on the other hand, could not be given as much time by the armed services.

I haven seen a single service boxing pros pect one could call outstanding. But two years after the war, veterans will spring up and give boxing many atari, just as after the first World War."

Mont Alto at Fayetteville. Pet .727 .545 .363 .363 Handicap Race Has Crack Field Boston, Aug. 11, Iff). A pair of star six year olds, who gave blistering performances the last time they raced for New Ens land's richest pot of racing gold, appear to dominate today's 11 th running of the $50,000 Massachusetts Handicap at Suffolk Downs. They are Mrs.

Edward Mul rennan's First Fiddle, last year's winner, and William G. Helis' Irish bred Rounders, who forced mighty Whirlaway to set the Massachusetts' mile and an eighth record of 1.481 5 as a three year old. Rounders drew the top weight of 122 pounds in the 11 horse field, one more than First although the latter ran ahead of Helis' powerful chestnut while placing behind Stymie in the recent Butler Handicap. With Johnny Longden aboard, First Fiddle wound up his campaign to become this race's only repeater by galloping two miles this morning while Rounders was breezing five furlongs in 1.05 4 5. Both, according to their stables, are "as fit as hands can make them." With the comparatively light impost of 113, the four year old Spangled Game, who will run with Castleman as a Metcalf Marmorstein entry, appears to rate serious consideration.

Another speedy threat is the Nor walk Stables' Bold Salture, second lightest with 106. Also down to start are Arcand and Laurin's Valdina Craft, the Sandy Lane Farm's Dinner Party, C. F. Herrmann's Float Me. the Christiana Stables' Megogo, the Long Champs Farms' Professor EE and M.

Belasco's Easy Chance. The Massachusetts' list closed. about two months ago with 81 nominations and if all named today through the entry box go, the winner's share will total $44,740. Cameron A. C.
