What May Come.

Jones Is expected to find some
risht-hand pitchers this fall. He
may pick up capable young CATCH
er. He may find a shortstop or a
third-sacker OF real merit. II he
does watch out.
The Browns have thoroughly de-
monstrated this season their possi-
bilities. For the first two months,
being an swalgamated organization.
they showed weak places In their
machine play. Hits were wasted by
faulty base running. Runners lack
ed cooperation with batsmen, pitch
ers with catchers, outfielders with
infielders or catchers.
But onces Jones got his machine
running along smoothly. they went
out and upset all calculations. They
trimmed opponent after opponent
until their victorious march had
alarmed the whole league and made
It seven instead OF six clubs battling
for supremacy.
II the Browns get away to q good
start In 1917. no matter where they
finish this season. they may pro-
vide the baseball world with another
sensation. an American League PEN
nant going to the Mound City for the
first time In history.
Don't belittle these Brownies. They
have the real goods.

who may improve with experience.

No use comparing the batteries.
The Griffs have 1t all over the

this Is far from being a joke.

His Brownies were q nondescript col
