REMNANT GERM

Mound City in Restless State
as Two Teams Fight for
Flag.

By United NetoS
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 8.-A strange and
potent little germ infests this town.
causing people to remain out late
leaning on the cigar counters study
ing the score cards. The Browns and
Cardinals brought this bug home
from the more prosperous baseball
cities. People can't sleep for remain
ing awake to wonder if one OF the
st. Louis ball team mightnt win a
pennant this year. st. Louis hasn't
had a pennant since 1888, when the
town was about half its present size
and all saloons had two drinking
compartments.
Chamber Of Commerce Protests.
1t wGs not the normal business Of
the St Louis Chamber of Commerce
to address Commissioner X. NJ. Lam
dis as 1t did, protesting against a
transaction in polished ivory between
the New York Yanks and the Bos-
ton Red Sox which gave the Yanks
Joe Dugan and Elmer Smith, but this
protest was a manifestation Of the
baseball bug which the people of
st. Louis now inhale with their very
breath Of life.
The stands are not large at Sports
mems park. but until this season they
have usually been quite large enough
to accommodate the joint following
OF the two clubs.
Attendance, $4,000" at the end of
the box score is no longer a figure at
which to marvel.
Cards and Browns Divide Favor
The Browns have always been
slightly more popular than the Cardi-
mails, but baseball enthusiasm has be-
come a sort OF fetishism this year.
with George Sisler and Rogers Horns
by as idols of equal influence.
Perhaps the Cardinals pitching
staff is all shot. as 1t has appeared to
be at times OF late. but st. Louis
will not believe 1t yet.
Neither do the Browns concede the
Yanks any more chance TO the pen
nant because OF Dugan's coming.
Such hopes only aggravate the rest
lessness. the worriment and the sleep
lessness of a population in whose
veins the worlds series virus flows.
