Thirty years is long time to walt
for St. Louis club to break into a
world championship series. And st.
Louis fans are still waiting. Most Of
the fans who saw the Browns Of 1888
compete i'm the last of their fOur-time
championship series are now wearing
long whiskers. II is strangely peculiar
however, that while ST. Louis has been
unable TO produce pennant-winning
club, the talent from which champions
are made .bobs up a-plenty in this
neighbOrhOOd, writes Clarence Lloyd in
st. Louis Star.
HoIIocher From ST. Louis.
For instance, Charley HollOcher, a
fwenty-One-year-Old kid who was the
bright, shining light of the Chicago
Cubs in the 1918 season, is a native of
the Mound City.
Save in 1914. when the Braves
sprung one Of the biggest surprises in
baseball history by beating the Athlet-
les in four straight games, st. Louis
has had one or more boys on the cham
piOnship contendlng teams.
For instance, Walter HOlke, the first
sacker Of the Giants, was the foremost
st. LOuisan in the 1917 series. st.
Louis also lays claim TO Art Fletcher,
the Giants shortstOp. who although a
native Of COllinsville, ILL.,, close by,
learned his baseball A B C'S in the old
st. Louis Trolley league.

ROSEBEN'S MARK STILL GOOD
Twelve Years Ago Shaw Rode Men,

FurloHqs in 1:22.

Many turf followers will remember
that it was II years ago that ROseben
made a new worlds record of 1.22 for
seven , furlOngs. Willie Shaw was
astride the gigantic gelding on that
memorable occasion. The Big Train
carried 126 pounds. and there was only
one other starter in the race. Rose

eannOnball and never faltered a sec
Ond until the wire was reached.
When the timekeeper certified %
as the time for the seven furlOngs a
wall Of woe went up from the bOOkies.
II had been conceded that the big geld
ing would win, but a lot of wise ones
had induced the bOOkmakers to put up
money against the proposition that
ROSeben would beat the track record
of % for the Belmont course, seven
furlongs, around one turn.
