CARDINALS NOW THINK
BROWNS GREATEST TEAM

Who will win the pennant in
the American league?
A neutral party speaks and says
the st. Louis Browns.
The neutral party is composed
OF the members Of the St. Louis
Cardinals Of the National league.
The Cardinals have met four OF
the American League teams in
spring training games, namely the
Yankees, Browns, Athletics and
Cleveland.
The consensus Of the team is
that the Browns are the best club
In the American league. They
Insist the club that beats out Lee
Fohl's aggregation will win the
pennant.
They dope the Yankees as fence
busters, but that let's them out.
The Cards say that not once in
their series with the Yankees. did
the New York club try to play any
real baseball, no sacrifice. no
smart base running.
They rate tho Cleveland team as
the smartest bail club, but cannot
see Speakers pitching staff. They
claim 1t much inferior to the
Browns. They also feel that
Speakers bad legs will affect his
play.
The Cardinals beat Connie
Mack's club FIVE straight games,
so Of course the Athletics get no
consideration as pennant contend
ers.
AS a matter OF fact most OF the
Cardinals seem to think that Mack
has another tail-end aggregation
on his hands.
The Browns are rated a much
better club than last year. The
outtleld is considered strong, the
catching steady, the infleld much
improved and the pitching fairly
good.
Since the Cardinals expect to
win the National league pennant,
they have the world series doped
