    May 8th, a day off of sorts.

    The Browns did not play any American League opponents on May 8. However they were in action against a Naval Training Station team in Norfolk, VA. The Sailors beat the Browns, 9-4. Al La Macchia, one of the former players featured at the Browns' Fan Club Lunceon two weeks ago, was one of the victimized pitchers for the Browns.

    Browns' Catching Need Critical

    With Frank Mancuso and Red Hayworth both injured and Joe Schultz looking like he was less than a major league prospect, the cry from the preview of the game from the Post-Dispatch was urgent for a good third-string catcher.

    The Browns lost the first two games of the series to Washington and Bob Muncrief was in charge of righting the ship and salvaging a game on May 12.

    The Browns ended up winning, 6-4, over the Senators.
