CHOULD you have any doubts as
to the excitement in St. Louis
over the wonderful strides the
Browns are making in the American
league pennant race, take a look at
a St. Louis paper the day after the
Browns have won a game. The st.
Louis Globe-Democrat devoted half
a page to the victory of the Browns
over Washington last Monday. A
seven-column scream" head carried
the story and the box score was set
in heavy, black type across three
columns. A Brown victory makes
the st. Louis newspaperman forget
the high price Of white paper.
EDDIE PLANK got bumped by
IL Washington on Wednesday but
then the veteran cannot be expected

Browns hit Walter johnson almost
as hard as the Senators clouted the
offerings of Plank.
BOSTON RED SOX got a better
grip on the American league
leadership on Wednesday when the
White Sox and Indians were both
defeated.
WHAT is good ball player
w worth? Roger HOrnsby, Of the
Cardinals. is one Of the "finds" Of
the season and the Dodgers offered
the Cardinals $4,000 for him this
week. And then the Cubs came
along with a request that the st.
Louis club name a price for the
sensational youngster.

Since Jake Dsubert has been out OF

playing the best defensive ball Of his

stituting for the injured Jake, is a bit
inexperienced and slow. So Cutshaw
has been covering much of the ground
