Manager Hickey of the Brouuns
Picks Sox or Tigers to Win FLAG

Manager Branch Hickey, of the St.
Louis Browns. was hardly in a pleas
ant frame of mind last night to grant
an interview. Two successive defeats
at the hands of the Nationals and
other things has caused Mr.. Hickey
to do a lot of thinking.
My club is going rotten. I don't
know what's the matter with it, Early
in the season our pitchers were not
effective, we lost games on that &C
count When the pitchers got going
properly figured we would climb-we
have had good pitching the past two
weeks, but the team is not hitting
as il should.
TT is just barely possible that l

hope not. but unless we win some
games pretty soon ! shall have to do
little shifting. No radical changes.
mind you! hut shift here and there.
Mr.. Hickey figured the Browns a

better than remai ming at Blacksburg,
so Griff wired him to come. Bruce will

has an alibi. He claims that the high
mound at the Polo Grounds affects
| his twirling. The mound is SO high
that it is called Mount Fabian, for
the groundkeeper The batsmen have
| been complaining about the height of
the mound. which they claimed gave
the pitchers an undue advantage.
| Where WARRIOR has a grievance is
| that he throws an underhand ball
| and it is claimed by him that too
| much elevation is a detriment to his
| control and effectiveness. The rules
| require that the pitchers plate shall
| not be more than fifteen inches higher
| than the base lines or the home plate
/ so that unless WARRIOR can prove that
| the mound is higher than the legal
limit he will have to worry along with
: the handicap.
Says Joe Villa in the New York Sun.
."When the Yankees were losing games
\ last year because they were unable tn
hit the ball Frank Chance was blamed
| by persons who thought that thew
knew something about baseball. It was
charged that Chance did not build I'D
his team: that he should have instruct
! ed the Yankees how to use their bats
| with successful results. Chance main
, tanned that he had inferior material
and that he could do nothing without
first class men. Donovan now finds
himself in the same predicament. He
cannot make the Yankees hit good
pitching and the team is slowly drop-
ping back among the also rams Dono-
van is powerless to check them in their
slump. He knows where the weak
spots are, but he is at a loss to find
new players that will add the desired
| strength to the team For that reason,
as in Chances case. it is unfair to
, blame Donovan"
Benny Kauff. who tried to play with
the Giants contrary to the rules of
| organized baseball. threatens to bring
: suit for $1,000. which he insists the
New York clubs officials promised to
pay him for signing a contract on
April 20. 1t seems that the New
York club before opening negotiations
with Kauff consulted a lawyer. who
decided that the Brookfeds center
fielder was not under contract to the
Wards or any other Federal League
club. But the fact that Kaufs was
the property of the Indianapolis As

Griffmen Beat Browns
In Second of Series
Johnson Touched Up Lively, but Given Good Support
Which Is Denied His Young Rival, Harry Hoch.
Final Score, s to z.
Ky WILLIAM PEEvH

Smart base running. the ability to take
advantage of opponents errors, together
with a few weIl-sprinkled timely wallops
gave the Griffmen the second game of
the series against Branch Hickey s
Browns yesterday afternoon by to ,.
Walter johnson was in the box for the
Nationals and was batted harder than
Harry Hoch the Brownies college slab
man. Johnson's teammates backed him
I'D finely, while Hoch was forced to
trudge along in the face of the most dis
coura cling support imaginable. That he
did not quit cold. as we have seen more
experienced slabmen do. speaks well for
young Mr.. Hoch.
Behind Hoch the st. L0uisians compiled
seven errors-errors of every description.
bum heaves." boots and kicks -
Most of the miscues came at critical
stages and helped the Griffmcn in their
hunt for runs.
Errors Costly to Browns.
Manager Hickey probably knows that
errors are just as much part of the
National pastmc as base hits so is not
kicking over the traces. but, just for fun
though. We wish the Browns errors
might have been eliminated yesterday
The fans would have witnessed a red hot
battle. close enough to warrant the crowd
sticking around until the final half of the
ninth.
Howard Shanks pulled off brilliant
base stealing stunt in the fourth, while
Danny Moeller also ran wild on the
paths, and Chick Gandil watched his hat
ting average grow to the extent of a
couple of safe slams out of four times up.
The Browns got away to an early
start, scoring a run in the first inning
when Shotton tripled and came home on
Pratt's single to right, Mr. Pratt picking
the ball off his ear with the business end
of his war club.
Nationals Score Two Runs,
Hoch had our young men guessing
until the fourth. when Washington
jumped into the lead. After Foster had
persisted in this chapter. Shanks singled
to center and raced to second when
Clarence Walker fumbled the ball Milan
grounded to Hoch. who tossed to Austin
for the purpose of heading off Shanks
Howard by some hook or crook eluded
Austin by diving into the dirt and dashed
madly to third. Discovering that he had
failed to tag his man. Austin made a
hurried peg to Hoch. who was guarding
third base. The ball rolled half way to
the stands and Shanks scored. Milan be-
ing able to reach the hot corner before a
PLAY could lie made on him. Gandirs
sigle to left scored Milan.
The Browns cut this one-run lead down
in the first half of the fifth when Lavan
tripled to deep left and scored on
Agnew's single.
Washington made the crowd happy by
once more assuming the lead. sending
