ST. LOUIS IS WILD
OVER THE BROWNS

II the st. Louis Brownies can win
the American League pennant they will
be rewarded with probably a greater
share of money than any heretofore
baseball champion team. The recent
success OF the Brownies when they
arose from the obscurity Of seventh
place to a pennant contender by win
ming twenty-five out of their last
twenty-nine games has so aroused the
business men of st. Louis that a purse
Of $4,000 is now being raised to
present TO the team il they win the
American League title. St. Louis is
baseball crazy, and before the Browns
came East for their last long road trip
the daily attendance in St. Louis ran
close to $4,000 per game. On Saturdays
and Sundays the gates had to be closed
long before game time.
II the Browns should happen to win
the $4,000 along with their worlds
series share of the receipts it would
give the players a most tidy sum for q
! long winters vacation. They would
be pulling down more coin than any
other blue-ribbon performer.
