The Browns broke loose with a seven-run barrage in the fifth in- ning at St. Louis Monday after- noon to set the Red Sox back 9-5. The Boston loss. coupled with Chicago White Box 9-5 win over Philadelphia Athletics, nar- rowed the margin between the two teams to a single game.

In Detroit, the Yankees once again demonstrated their ability to ou-tscore their opponents while be- ing outhit by a wide margin. Tig- ers blasted a trio of New York pitchers for 15 hits but the world champions managed to stagger through with the help of some timely blows - particularly Yogi Berra's two-run homer and one by Joe Collins with none aboard.

LONDON, July 16 - (AP) - Randy Turpin, who never has been more than 300 miles away from his English home in his life, will leave for New York in mid- August to defend the world mid- dleweight title he won from Sugar Ray Robinson last week.

The shy, quiet, 23-year-old Ne- gro will give Robinson a shot at the title at New York's Polo Grounds Sept. 12.

The international Boxing Club in New York said the Sept 12 date was not definite, as three September dates were being con- sidered.

Each fighter will get 30 per cent of the net gate, radio and television proceeds.

Jack Solomons, who promoted the first Turpin-Robinson bout, estimated 'I'urpin's share of the New York show at from 385,000 to 3110.000.

Robinson got 884.000 here when Turpin beat him on points in the biggest boxing upset in 36 years. Randy got &tl,000, his largest purse and the biggest ever paid anywhere to a British middle- wcight.

Turpin will take with him to New York his two brothers. Dick and Jackie; his manager George Middleton and his assistant train- er, Billy Hyam. Solomons will act as his personal representative.

Dick Turpin. one-time British middleweight champ. is Randy's trainer. Brother Jackie, a feath- erweight, has been promised a preliminary bout the Polo Grounds card. runs and a like doubles to ovnrpnwer Cubs 9-4. It was the their three-game series.

Local ball players of midget age who are interested in competing in an organized City Midget Lear gue should make a point of being at the Old Diamond in Victoria Park this evening at 6.30. A spe- cial mceting will be held there at

that time to line up teams and organize things for a regular scho- dule during the remainder of the season before school term com- mences again.

As in the past. the Department of Physical Fitness will sponsor the loop with the voluntary as- sistance of older players who will manage and handle the various clubs. Always willing to assist the youngsters in all types of sport, the Department is primarily inter- ested in giving every kid a chance to play. As far as they are con- cerned "the more the merrier" is their motto, and the size and suc- cess of the league will depend en- tirely on how many players turn out tonight and show the neces- sary keenness to take part

0 O 0

Present plans are for the forma- tion of a three-team loop, but if enough players of bsniam age turn out to warrant four or even five teams, then the Department will see that a league big enough to accommodate all players will be formed. All those qualified to play in the baniam group are in- riled lo attend tonight's meeting and the future success of the lea- gue will largely depend on the sort of turnout in evidence there this evening.

C O I

The Department also plans to develop a similar league for those youngsters in the bantam age division and it is expected that a meeting will be held for them to- morrow evening to lay plans and determine the number of players interested so that teams may be formed to get a league rolling at lne earliest possible date in the same manner as tonight's gather- ing will be conducted for the mid- gets. In their case, too, the De- partmcnt will carry out the or- ganizaiional work but it is en- tirely up to the players them- selves as to whether it will be a small league or one with three or four teams that will make for good competition.

Local harness racing fans should see some close, thrilling track duals tomorrow afternoon when Cove- head's "Parlor Track" holds its of- ficial opening of the season with a very promising program of four. well-filled classified events that will be run off on the three-heat plan. making a total of 12 races on the day's card, Close to fifty horses will line up behind the starting gate ready to take the word "go" from the official starter and will constitute some of the smoothest pacers and trotters from local and mainland stables.

Credited with having the fastest half-mile track in the Island rac- ing circuit owner-manager Charlie Willis says that his track is faster and better this year than it has ever been before. and if that be the case. there are likely to be a few horses lowering their track records before the day's racing is finished. a feature that is charact- eristic of racing programs at the Parlor Track. But whether they do or not. rail birds can plan on see- ing some top-notch racing enter- tainment if the lineup of starters proves to be as good on the track as it does on paper.

O O O

The leadoff a feature of the card will be the classified trot with an even dozen starters including such entries as Feather Duster. Sunny- meade. Lusticia. Baron. Rutherta, Wait 14' See. Bonnie Dale and oth- er leading entries that will make picking winners no easy task for the keenest rail authorities. The classified pace with a large entry list of 17 will also call for some head-scratching to pick the horse that will hit the wire first in the final dash down the stretch.

Highlighting the card will be the junior free-for-all with eight top- notch starters. Fans will see Man- nlstcr Direct, Argot Pointer, Col- onel Dooker. Prince Budlong, Jen- nie Kalmuck. Time Table. Jose- riale Clipper and Miss Donna Mae battle it. out in the feature event that will be a natural in much jockayirw for positions over avery inch of the mile distance. Adding the final touch to the card will be the number two classified pace that will bring together such en- tries as Quick Lick, Rosalie Hoop- er, Lela Budlong. Silk Hal. Ilean- or 0..

, combe led in strikeouts with 84.
