42 Browns Take Last of Series on Six-Hitter Defeat Costs Bengals Chance at Fourth; Benton Routed By Charles P. Ward Loud Louie Newsom walked Into the visitors' clubhouse at Brigg Stadium at the conclusion of the game between the Tigers and the Little Brownies Sunday. Tossing his glove into a packing trunk, he plumped himself on a stool and let out a sigh of satisfaction. "Nice goln'," said Manager Gabby Street to his big pitcher. "You sure stopped Buck looked up in surprise and said, "Who, me?" Then he grinned.

always do," he said. "That's the fourth time this year and they haven't beaten me once. Mr. Briggs may think he owns this ball club but he doesn't. Old Buck owns those Tigers." Loud Loole Is Pleased Newsom was pleased with him self as usual because he not only trounced the Tigers, 9 to 4, but ended a winning streak that had been extended to six successive games.

He probably didn't realize that the setback had tossed the Tigers back into the second division, Washington having won sole possession of fourth place by splitting a double-header with Boston's plutocratic Red Stockings. But if he had that probably wouldn have made any difference either. The game was entirely a New som affair, for Loud Louie kept up a running fire of verbal chat ter on the Tigers for the entire nine innings. Most of this was di rected at Big Henry Greenberg, who finds the offerings of Mr. Newsom unusually deceptive.

The crowd of 9,500 let out an exultant shout in the seventh, however, when Big Henry lifted his forty- second home run of the season into the upper deck of the left field shooting gallery. Nobody waj aboard at the time. Hank's homer was hit with 24 hours of premeditation. Before Saturday's game Loud Louie met Big Hank In the runway leading to the clubhouse and allowed as how Hank was lucky he wasn't batting against him every day. "you would be trying to set a record for loud fouls instead of home runs if you were," he said modestly.

Hank Starts Slowly "I'll bet you 1 hit a homer oft you in this series," said Big Henry, bristling, Loud Louie promised Greenberg he would shake hands with him at home plate if he did. Hank had a little trouble work ing up to that homer yesterday. He filed out with Gehringer on base in the first and hit a double play ball with the bases filled in the third after Newsom had passed Gehringer in order to pitch to him. Fortunately for him, how ever, Heffner dropped Clif t's throw, messing up the twin killing and letting in two runs. The next Inning Hank hit into a force plcy that retired the side, and Loud Louie laughed derisively.

So Hank was naturally peeved when he went to bat in the seventh. He got Loud Louie into a hole by letting the first two pitches go by for balls. But he swung on the third and it sailed into the pavilion as Loud Louie gazed sadly after it. True to his word, however, Loud Louie walked to the plate and shook Green-berg's hand.

Blanked for seven innings, Chicago drove Johnny Allen from the mound with a four-run rally in the eighth inning of the first game. While the defeat was chalked against Allen, a balk by Relief Pitcher Johnny Humphries sent the winning run across- the plate. The Tribe trailed, 1 to 2, going into the ninth Inning of the second game, but a single by Jeff Heath drove in the tying run and Heath scored the winning marker on Hal Trosky's single.

Denny Galehouse, who relieved Willis Hudlin, got credit for the victory.

Buhl, Detroit socialite sports man, is ready to name a two-year-old colt in his racing stable at the Fair Grounds. Two Across is the name Buhl has chosen, Mutucl clerks or bookies aides usually don't care what names owners pick for their horses. They were as interested as any one else recently when thousands of fans helped pick the name Sky Raider for the two-year-old son of Man O'War and Top Flight, owned by Sonny Whitney. But they weren't shocked into doing any handstands on the City Hall stens. The Buhl case is airrerent.

r-ven the comparatively uninitiated (those who have lost only a little money on the horses) know that "two across is a Deuing ierm, Indicating a wager of $2 across the board to win, place and show on a horse.

A race track patron runs up to a mutuel window comoinaiion ticket as the horses go to the post. He pushes a $10 bill through the wicket. "Give me two across." The seller tries to be patient "On what horse, please." "Two Across." "Yes, I got that the first time On what horse, please.

"TWO ACROSS." "Stnn ahoutine. for heaven's sake. Now you're holding up the whole line. I ll give you one more chance. You want two across on what horse?" "TWO DOLLARS ACROSS on THR HORSE TWO ACROSS." The ticket seller looks relieved fcnf hia natience is tried to the hreakine notnt.

"Why didn't you say so the first time?" he snaps. Then ignoring the fact that the customer is then perhaps trying to break down the! mutuel cage, ne reacnes iur uir tickets. More trouble tnen resuii3 as the closing bell rings. The fan is unable to get his twoacrosson-twoacrnss and 30 fans behiivi him also are shut out. The track loses establish some kind of a track rec ord, records that still stand.

In 1935 he captured the 100-mile Labor Day classic at Syracuse and in doing it established 75 and 100-mile records for unbanked dirt tracks. Banked and unbanked tracks also have seen his cars fly over them for records. Never Won the '500 Despite his color, his skill and his cars, Winn never got the breaks necessary to win the '500' at Indianapolis. He has been called the greatest of all dirt track drivers. A 500-mile victory would have meant more to Winn than any other driver.

Not only would he have won the $30,000 or so that goes with the classic but he would have earned himself at least more on dirt tracks the rest of the season. As it was, he was the leading money maker of the dirt tracks. His name on a card meant a packed race track. Records Are Scattered Winn, at his death, held state tracks records in New Jersey, Vermont and Virginia and unofficial records in at least a half dozen states. He held world records on tracks from five to 15 miles on half-mile tracks and national records for 50-mile and 100-mile races.

Winn was born in Kansas City in 1907. When still a youngster he moved to Detroit and his rise to dirt track fame began. After his spectacular feats on dirt tracks he headed for the Indianapolis classic in 1932 and participated in seven of them. In 1935 he finished with his own car in sixth place, the best he ever was able to do. Loses Wheel at 110 M.P.H.

One of his most spectacular ac cidents occurred in 1933 at Indianapolis while he was driving relief for Frank Brisko. It was an accident similar to the one that caused his death. His left wheel came oft and at a speed of 11U miles an hour he kept his car upright for 50 yards. He finally crashed the inside wall and his car shot Into the air, two other cars passing under him. He was uninjured.

"Those two cars souaded like box cars roaring under me, was Winn's description the experience. Winn's racing crew was as colorful as his driving. He outfitted them in flaming red shirts and wore a crash helmet just as blazing. An Expert Horseman In Detroit. Winn was an executive of a furniture firm and a member of the Detroit Riding and Hunt Club.

He was an expert horseman. Tony Wiliman, ot Milwaukee, widely-known Detroit midget rarer, won the 100-mile event that cost Wujn his hit. Bill Winn, Detroit veteran of the Indianapolis speedway, had given his life to automobile racing. He died late Saturday night of injuries received in the 100-mile race at Springfield, 111., a feature of the Illinois State Fair. The colorful Detroiter, who had escaped serious injuries in a half dozen major crackups, was among the leaders Saturday at Springfield when his car threw a tire.

The car overturned. His skull was fractured and he was Injured internally. Winn, despite his 31 years, possessed more individual dirt track records than any other driver. Hardly an important dirt track exists that has not seen Winn Crash Victim BILLY WIXX NATIONAL LEAGUE Pet. G.B.

ANGLERS who complain about the lousy bluegill fishing in Whitmore Lake are not merely giving the usual alibis of disappointed fishermen. Where there used to be a fleet of a half a hundred boats, there are only a half dozen craft now. This is proof enough that either the blue-gills are not there or else they are so full of natural food that they don't need to cruise about for it. Bass fishermen also are reporting poor fishing in Whitmore Lake, but make the interesting statement that the fish are either very laiee or very small.
