Unless some Of the recruit pitchers
display unusual form. the st. Louis
Browns will have difficulty in finish
ing in the first division this year.
Among the regulars Sisler and Shot
ten are the only players who might be
classed as stars, and Shotten is slip
ping. Groom had the highest percent
age of the pitchers, but he is a veteran
with very few years left in the big
leagues. The other experienced hurl-
ers are all unreliable, being brilliant
one day and rank the next, SO the re-
cruit pitchers are the hope of the st.
Louis Browns for the season of 1917.
By the way, in these days of reduced
expenses, the Browns are making
quite record by taking II recruits
down to the southern training camp.

ports are that Sloan, who hit 800 in

Other outfielders who will receive

Episcopal church of Rev. Clinton w.
Areson. which was made public late
yesterday, following closely upon a
similarly unexpected resignation from
the Kings Highway church of. Rev.
P. E. Matthias, has surprised religious
circles of this city. Mr.. Areson an
nounces that he will take up work in
connection with the soldiers and
sailors.
Rev. George o. Tanb1yn, pastor OF
Olivet church, resigned some months
ago for a purpose somewhat similar.
Three such designations within a year
are now known.
The present rector of Trinity
church came, to this city about six
years ago under his predecessor, Rev.
Charles M. Gomph. Upon the resig-
nation of Mr.. Gomph he was asked
to take the parish as rector. He has
been active in local ecclesiastical
circles, and has been identified with
civic affairs. He leaves this city on
Oct s. No steps thus far have been
taken towards obtaining a successor.
