Browns hold 2–1 edge in Series
St. Louis, Missouri (UP) –
The St. Louis Browns, holding a 2–1 edge, picked on Sigmund Jakucki, big righthander, to pitch them to another triumph today in the “streetcar” World Series with their intracity opponents, the St. Louis Cardinals.
Manager Luke Sewell’s hurling choice for the fourth game won 13 and lost nine the past season, his first in the major leagues.
Southpaw Harry Brecheen, who won 16 and lost five games in the regular season, was Manager Billy Southworth’s choice to bring the Cardinals back on an equal footing with the American Leaguers.
Jack Kramer, Browns’ righthander, held the Cards to seven scattered hits yesterday as his teammates shelled Ted Wilks from the box in the third inning and went on to notch a 6–2 triumph.
