Mobridge in prosperous a condition when so
much wealth was created monthly from labor and the
rich soil adjacent to Mobhdge

That's why Nate figures he carries the
largest wager on the battle.
We asked him why Harry Pollok, the
manager Of Welsh. could not be classed
in a similar position. But Nate shook
his head and replied: Pollok has had
his inning. If his man loses, he is
financially well fixed because he has
been reaping harvest for the past
two years. With me it is quite differ

ST. LOUIS SFILLED WITH HOPE
SINCE BROWNS BEGAN TOCL|MB
The City Has the Pennant Fever in Very Pronounced
Form, and Fielder Jones, Who Was Formerly I'm
popular, is Now the P opular IDOL "We'll Win
Sure" is Confident reelection of Browns.
BY Frank G. MENKE.

Jew YORK. Aug. 23.-The fren-
zied rush Of the Browns has
= changed St Louis from a gloom
stricken city to one Of baseball mad
ness. from baseball sorrow to such
baseball joy as the Mississippi river
town hasn't known for many, many
moons
Everything else there seems to be
forgotten excepting that the amazing
dash Of the Brownies has lifted them TO
within q few notches Of the apex of the
American league and created the pos
sibility of a St Louis team morning
into the 1915 world series doings-
The ST. Louis fan this season has ex-
perienced a rapid succession Of base
ball emotions; enthusiasm first then
pessimism, then utter disgust and
anger. then the reminding of that
earlier enthusiasm which burned and
glowed until now il has increased to a
flame Of baseball fever.
When the American league race be-
gan. the fans were enthusiastically
confident. They figured that the ANAL
gamation Of the Browns and St Louis
Feds had given fielder Jones an IN
beatable team. But when the first
month of battling was done, with the
Browns anchored near the awful ath-
letic craft, the st. Louis confidence
oozed-and was gonei
Hope-Despair-An Hope Again.
By mid-June. when the Jones outfit
had floundered its way into seventh
place. a feeling of bitterness surged
through fandom: optimism TO extreme
pessimism and the earlier worlds of
praise were recalled TO be substituted
with speeches Of condemnation
Fielder Jones, hailed in the spring
time as the Moses who was to lead St
Louis TO the promised land of pennant.
became the target for the verbal and
printed shafts Of St Louis fans and
writers; Jones. in short, was just
about as popular in St Louis along
about June Is, as Kaiser Bill would be
in the house of lords in London.
And then came the form reversal of
the Browns. the sudden and startling
transformation that upset the baseball
world in general and has afflicted St |
Louis with the most malignant case
OF baseballitis with which it has been
afflicted since back in 1908 when the

Browns became absolute in st. Louis
The Jones crew still is several
notches from the top-and the path

reach the rest, but even if they do it
isn't IN any way certain that they'll
hold it indefinitely. The Red Sox,

in ST Louis the townfolk cannot agree
