New York Yankees snj Detroit Lions, in that order The games have not always been close, so fsr as the final score is concerned, but they have always been interesting and played out to the final hilt.

TONIGHTS TROMISES to be no exception, as Browns snd Yanks meet before a crowd of 27,000 plus. Advance sales do not indicate a complete sellout, but they do promise a much larger turnout than the 19,414 crajwd which saw the Browns beat the Yankees. 28-21, on Aug. 26, 1949 That was the only small crowd of the Browns' annual visit here and it came close to putting an end to the visits. That game was hurt by a switch in baseball schedules which moved Indians and Yankees from afternoon to night, in strong competition.

Thousands of persons attending fit f-A I Hi If ika4daatawhiii i ii'ift t. -sagiaV Atifrii-tiiniwi-i Center Frank Gatski, Left Guard Bill Willis, Left Tackle Lou Groza and Left End Mac Speedie. In the backfield, it will be (left to right) Dub Jones at right half, Emerson Cole at fullback, Otto Graham at quarterback and Ken Carpenter at left half. Dressed in street clothes, the Cleveland Browns hardly look like they're about to play another rough football game. But, aa a change of pace, the world pro grid champs' starting lineup was posed in street clothes to give you an idea what they look like off the field.

On the line (from left) are Right End Dante Lavelli, Right Tackle Lou Rymkus, Right Guard Bob Gaudio, Hopes IX v'" iiA v. y-- a By JIM StULEMMER Cleveland Browns will try to best the New York Yanks tonight for their sixth consecutive Rubber Bowl victory in as many years 'We'll be out to win, of course," says Paul Brown, whose business is coaching winning football teams and who has seldom coached loser "We'll be out to win; but if we don't, so what? We simply must use our four pre-season games to find out how good some of our new boys are and how much some of our veterans may have slipped!" THIS ATTITUDE is not new. Brown has used the Rubber Bowl gams to try out new men and re-rate the old, every year since Brown's first visit here in 1946 when they made their debut by beating the Brooklyn Dodgers In subsequent years they have beaten the Baltimore Colts, Buf his stunts snd keep rules of baseball, too. within the VEECK had planned to put two of the amateur coaches on first and third bases for last night's game while the rest stayed In the stands and called the plays by raising placards. The two, Charles Hughes and Clark Mitze, had been signed by Veeck for the night.

But Harridge told the amateur coaches to get off the field and stay off. In a telephone conversation with Veeck, he told the Browns' owner: 1 He would not approve any "temporary" contracts for stunts. 2 -The only people on the play Lolotai, Left Tackle Paul Mitchell and Left End Bruce Alfprd. The Yank backfield will consist of (left to right) Buddy Young at halfback, Zollie Toth at fullback, Johnny Rauch at quarterback and George Taliaferro at the other halfback. And here in football sweat togs are the New York Yanks' probable starters for tonight's tussle ia Rubber Bowl.

GRANDSTAND MANAGERS TRIUMPH Harridge Bans Veectfs Amateur Coaches By JIM SCHLEMMER If the Yankee are washed up, somebody oughta tell Phil Rizzuto The JitUe shortstop, gtruggimg through one of his poorest seasons in the sunset of a brilliant career, played not like an old Yankee but as a Yankee of he ran all over the lakefront last nignt to score a 2-0 shutout over the Indians before 71,768 amazed and dismayed fang. Little Phil was aided tremendously on defense by Stubby Over-mire and Joe Ostrowski, a pair of portside castoffs from the St. Louis Browns; and on offense, by Akron-born Gene Woodling who homered as usual. THK LOSS was the first for the Indians in 17 games at home.

It cut their lead over the Yankees to two games and threw heavier pressure on them jn the series finale this afternoon: a duel between Mike Garcia and Ed Lopat. The defeat was charged to Early Phils9 oust anly Not On 'Mock' 111II.ADEM 111 A (I.VS) Report that the rhlllitV fireman, Jim Koiistaiilv, Is on the trailing block were spiked ahruptly today by team I'renldent Robert R.

Five of the losses have been to the Yankees and three of them have been directly traceable to Woodling homers. Woodling homered with Yogi Berra on base in the last inning to beat Wynn, 5-3, on June 24 He homered with Gil MaeDong-ald on base in the sixth inning, to beat Wynn, 3-2, on July 24 He homered with Ostrowski on base in the seventh Inning to beat Wynn, 2-0, on Aug. 24 The Indians have an open date on Sept, 24, thank goodness! IS ADDITION to these three decisions in favor of Woodllng's wood instrument, the former F.ast high school star helped beat Bob Lemon with a two-run homer on June 23; homered to beat Bob Feller, 1-0, on July 12 the night Allie Reynolds threw his no hitter And on June 22, Woodllng got two singles, a double and a walk, and scored three times as Reynolds blanked Feller and the Indians, 6-0 There is a growing- conviction in these parts that Eugene Richard Woodllng, who once wore an Indian uniform and a bright spot on the Cleveland bench, is one of the few Akronit.es pulling against the Indians to win the pennant BI HOW shout that Rizzuto! The Mighty Mite handled five put-outs and six assists last night as he put on a one-man show behind Overmire, who worked five and one-third innings, and Ostrowski, who finished The 0-0 twosoino produced the 0 In the Indians' run column while subbing for Reynolds who couldn't work Inst night because of an injured left elbow. -This was the Yankees' 18th shutout Kour of the 18 have been thrown against the Indians. Three of these four were by Reynolds.

Overmire snd Ostrowski thus simply carried on in stride, as the Yankees continued to win one game out of each series played in Cleveland RIZZl'TO'S best effort, and the one which had most vital bearing on the outcome of the game, was a running catch of Jim Hegan's fly to left field to close out the second inning Al Rosen had oiened the frame with a slni(le to right but was erased as Harry Simpson grounded to Rlruto fur a double play Bob Kennedy and Ray Boone then followed with singles off Overmire, and Hegan apparently did likewise Hegan's fly seemed destined to fall four or five feet inside the left field line, too deep for Third Baseman Bobby Brown; too shallow for Left Fielder Woodllng SOMEHOW Rizzuto, racing at full speed, managed to get close enough to tRke the ball over his left shoulder while running at top speed and so far overbalanced that he was already starting to fall He continued to Mugger across (lie foul line, then to crash and slide for half a rod on the cinder track while teammates came from all directions to see If he were still In one piece Had Rizzuto failed to hold the ball in his glove chances are he See WOODMNG, Page 11 Naw York Rlatuto.aa Manila. rl Raaar.rf Wnodllnf.lf IIIMaiila.ct Brra.e Mlfr.ln (alllna.lk a 0 A Tlefelanr Ml Mltrhell.ll 4 i Afiit.m ASS llohi el III Rmrn Sk til Mmnion.il 4 111 M'hapman IS I 0 A 4 A A Kit 5 1 11 A lilt 9 A A I A A A 4 4 A tr.i A A .1 1 A A A Aft III!

LOUIS CUR) Brown' Owner Bill Veeck, who keeps the American League office, open nights overruling his efforts to give the fans a little fun along with baseball, today termed his "amateur coaches night" a success. That despite one of the poorest crowds to turn out yet for one of Veeck's stunts.

Only 3,925 hardy Browns' fans paid their way into Sportsman's Park Friday night to watch 1.500 amateur coaches, the mad antics of Max Palkin snd a whopping display of fireworks. a a THE AMATF.l coaches performed In the stands behind third base, despite the frowning of League President Will Harridge, to help Ned Garver, the Browns' little right-hander, pitch his way to his 15th victory bv beating the Philadelphia Athletics, 5-3. Veeck said the crowd was a "little disappointing," but added, "Everybody sure had fun, though." He said he wasn't worried about Harridge's rulings that have stymied some of his plans to get crowds of paying customers Into Sportsman's Park. He said he had a stack of messages from Harridge "six Inches high" but he Intended to go right along with Bosox Stay Five Games Off AL Pact Beacon Jnaraal gerfire Cleveland's Indians lost a bit of ground to the New York Yankees Friday night in the torrid American League race but the Chicago White Sox kept the Boston Red Sox from creeping up by downing them, 3-2. Iou Kretlow pitched five-hit ball to win his fifth game and Eddie Robinson drove In two runs with a double and single at Chicago, Boston is now five games out of Ihe lead.

IN' OTHER American League games, the Browns topped the Athletics, 5-3, on the seven-hit pitching of Ned Garver and a key homer by Sherman Lnllar, while the Senators again drubbed the Tigers, 1.0-7, as Rddie Yost and Gil Coan collected three hits apiece and Mike McCormick hit a grand slam homerun. The Dodgers stayed 7 1-2 games ahead of the Giants In the National League with a brilliantly pitched three-hit, 1-0 victory for Ralph Branca over the Cuba after New York won Its 12th straight game, 6-5, on Bobby Thomson's daring slide home In the ninth Inning. The Braves twice topped the Reds, 5-1, and 2-1, as Warren Spnhn pilched his 16th victory and Rookie Chet Nichols his eighth. The Pirates won a 5-1 decision from the Thillies when Murry Dickson won his 1 7th game and Gus Bell hit the first grand slam homer of his career A SINGLE, by Peewee Reese, a Cub error and Jackie Robinson's double gave Brooklyn all the margin it needed as Branca struck out 10, walked none, and faced only 29 men in winning his 11th game. Thomson scored the deciding run for the (ilants on an Infield tap by Plnch-Hltter Dave Williams to Second Baseman Solly Hemus, who threw to the plate just as fleet Rohby crashed In and knocked the ball away from Catcher Rob Schefflng.

Thomson, Alvln Dark and Willie Mays got three hits apiece for the Giants. Spahn gave up nine hits as Sam Jethroe hit a first game Boston homer, and in the second rontesl, Nichols yielded only four hits as Sibhy Sistl tripled in the winning run in the ninth.
