fond desire TO return to Virginia and help
them to turn out another winning foot

positively decided to go to Oxford to
complete his education.
II is probable that nowhere in this
favored land did this announcement

Of battle TO alternate between the two
parks.
The Cardinals won the spring series,
four games TO one. but the claim Is set
up that the Browns at that time had
not settled into their normal stride.
Hickey used several substitute players.
but the Browns manager intends TO send
his full squad of regulars against the
Cardinals in the fall championships
Games should BE Interesting.
If the Cardinals succeed in attaining
second place and the Browns can nose
out the White Sox for fifth place, the
series here will be the most attractive
inter-league clash on the fall program.
worlds series excepted. This is quite
different from the situation a year ago
when both local clubs were tail-enders
and the fall series was 'Joshed" as the
joke championship of Christendom.
Even though the Cardinals do finish
well up in their league race they will
not be an odds-on choice over the
Browns. There are many sanguine sup
porters Of Rickey's team who claim that
the Browns would be a pennant con-
tender in the older league and these
same persons almost are willing to favor
the local American leaguers in the bet
ting this fall. The Browns have more
hitting strength, II is said. while the
pitching OF James, Hoch. .WeiIman, and
Leverenz of late would indicate that
there will be little TO choose between the
hurlers.
Browns After Fifth Place.
Hickey intends to keep his regular
team intact so long as there Is a pos
sible chance OF finishing fifth. His
schedule calls for four games with Bos-
ton, two with, Philadelphia, three with
Detroit and four with Chicago. thirteen
in all It's barely possible that fifth
place will be at stake when the Browns
go to Chicago to close the season with
the SoK.
One Of the big features OF the fall
series will be a field day, which will
bring together Chief Wilson and Clar-
ence- Walker in an all-around throwing
contest Walkers arm has not been in
