St. Louis Brownies
Amt What They
Used To Be

A close observer of statistics
does not have to travel far to
discover that the 1922 Browns
are better than the 1921 club.
One little item explains the en-
tire story.
In 1921 the Browns won five
games and lost seventeen to the
Cleveland Indians.
So far this season the Browns
have played seven games with
the Indians and they have tied
their 1921 record for victories
by winning five from Iris
Speakers entry.
Although the Browns were
third placers the Indians won
more games from Lee Fohls
squad than any other club. The
seventh place White Sox lost
but eight to the Tribe.
However. this is new sea-
son, and the 1922 Browns are
not the 1921 Browns. Next
Monday the Browns will appear
here and the fans will have an
opportunity to see Ken Will
Jams.
