ST. LOUIS FANS SEE LITTLE
HOPE FOR BROWNS NEXT YEAR
O'Connor's Team Sure to Be Weakest in
Race Again-ls Not Fortified
in Any Department.

ST. LOUIS, September 2S.-Cnless Man
ager O'C0nnor draws an almost entirely
new team from the talent yet to report,
the st. Louis Browns are destined to
again trail'in the American League race
next year. 1t is true that the manage
ment has secured two or three likely
looking young twirlers late this season,
but it is also q fact which cannot be
denied, present indications are that the
Johnsonian circuit will be far classier In
1911 than it has ever been before.
It Is not our disposition to WELD the
Manager O'Connor, or any player on the
team: that is, in the way Of a personal
knock, and our criticism is made purely
on judgment based on base ball ex-
perfence.
1t is unfair to the dear old public to
spring that stereotyped autumn song
about having stronger team next
year" Better, far. that We bury that
old gag deep among the moth balls and
let it remain there undisturbed for an
other twelve months. We truly hope
that some unexpected relief will come,
croft johnson will intercede with the
owners of the other clubs In the league
in behalf of the st. Louis club. This
really seems the only chance OF our
being saved from the humiliation OF an
other tail-end team next year.
To begin with, there are dozen, or
perhaps fifteen. players on the rowns'
reserve list who have yet to make their
debut in the uniform Of the st. Louis
club. There may be half dozen men
and then again OConnor may not draw
more than one or two real players from
the assortment.
Past experience has proved that only
one out of every ten or eleven minor
leaguers make good In the majors or
course. the exception to the rule may
manifest itself in favor Of the Browns:
let's hope chat 1t does.
Pitchers Are Promising.
An analysis Of the team as it stands at
present shows We have a fairly good
looking staff Of young pitchers. although
none OF these has had SUFFICIENT time as
yet to show what may be expected next
year.
The infield is, unauestionably. the weak
est In the league. and if there is
worse-looking outfield IN either OF the
big circuits we fail to remember of hav-
ing seen 1t. Our catchers are far from
being of the first class, and this is one
department which needs strengthening
badly.
Taking the team as II stands at present
we find Arthur Griggs at first base. We
have always held that this boy Griggs
has the makings of a corking good play
er. but he does not belong in the in1eid.
Time was when we believed he could
play second base sufficiently we'll to draw
a permanent assignment in the major
league, but that was when he was In the
minors. Griggs has been incapacitated
this year as the result Of the serious
injury he sustained late last fall. He
will make an Al out1elder and fairly
good catcher il given the proper chance.
Truesdale, at second base, has shown
a greater Improvement in a brief Pc
riod Of time than any ball player we
know Of. The Maplewood boy received
poor encouragement from the press and
public early in the season. but Hedges
and OConnor have stood by him with

Scranton won three games out Of five
from the Wilkesbarre champions Of the

Cleveland ought to draft Pitcher Penny

praising them to the skies.
Pitcher Coombs Of the Athletics has

for a company made up Of Boston peo-
pie. The foreign ownership Of the team
has not pleased some Of them. and they
have offered big bonus on the stock.
but John Dewey and John Harris have
refused to sell. for they figure that it is

improved the grounds. SO that good
sized crowd can get into the stands.
