JONES SURPRISE
Browns We're Not Hope
less; Won Pennant in 1906
With ''Hitless Wonders"

The resignation Of Fielder Jones
as manager Of the St Louis Browns
came as a surprise.
The Browns were not conducting
themselves like prospective pennant
winners when he quit, but neverthe-
less they had been showing signs Of
a club with prospects as a winner.
and the baseball fans believed that
Jones had gathered in the nucleus Of
a good ball club.
out Of eight or nine regulars who
were with the club in 1917 only one
or two remained, and with Tobin-
former Federal Lacquer. Maisel and
Gedeon, secured from the Hanks. and
Gerber and Demmitt brought back
from the minors, the Browns proved
themselves a club capable o. winning
many ball games on their first East
ern road trip when they climbed into
the first division.
Compared TO other major league
clubs the Browns, as they stand to-
day, have probably as good prospects
for the future as any wartime team.
and so far this season they have
shown TO better advantage than had
been expected
Jones explained that he did not feel
equal 70 the strain Of managing a
major league club when he handed in
his resignation He doesn't have to
depend on baseball for a living, as
he has extensive lumber interests in
the Northwest.
