BROWNIES IN UNDERCOVER TITLE STALK 1944 Junidrroop Champs| Now Only Four Games 0ff Pennant Pace By Joe Reichler (Associated Press Sports Writer) While others have been stealing the spotlight, the American League Champion St. Louis Browns are quietly going about playing prand of baseball that may gair them their second straight flag With Detroit and Washington, the only two teams ahead of the Browns in the \gs, appar- ently going into nose-dives, the Brownies, as a result of last night’s 8-7 triumph over the Chicago White Sox, are only four games out of first place, n and may sneak into the lead by Labor Day Should St. Louis sweep the two-| game series with the Tigers star ing today, they will stand a very good chance to overtake the Ben- gals and Nats. For while Detroit and Washington tangle with the| tough Cleveland Indians and New York - Yankees, respectively, the Browns will have comparatively easy pickings in a four-game set with the White Sox, from whom they've just concluded a five-game sweep Yesterday's victory over the Pale Hose marked St. Louis’ nineteenth win in its last 24 games, a .792 pace, or the best in the league during the past three weeks. The Browns have taken four straight from the Yankees and two out of three from the Senators. The only other scheduled major league action - yesterday was a double-header between the New York Giants and Phillies, won by the Giants. Bill Voiselle fashioned a three-hitter to shut out the National League cel-| larites in the opener. Sal Maglie gave up nine hits to register hjs third win in the nightcap.
