 Stuffy has proven the nightmare of the existence of every catcher in the league this season and his speed on the bases has resulted in many runs for the Barons that otherwise might not have been slipped across the home platter by the Barons.
 Stewards daring base running and his speed have enabled him to take the lead in base stealing this season Stewards 1922 base stealage mark will undoubtedly rest around the 75 mark this year, if he continues the pace he has set, as he still has more than twice as many games to play as he has already participated in.
 Schulte on Top
 Stuffy Stewards rise to the top in base stealing ranks featured the week in the Southern league. In the batting averages. Schulte, Mobiles slugging catcher, has increased his lead in the race somewhat. He is hit ting the ball a 400 clip, 2S points ahead of Pond, former Bruin back stop. now with Memphis.

from local standpoint, has been tho fact that practically everyone of the six defeats administered the To- calls during the past six days resulted from loose playing after the Barons had taken the lead. Had Moley's men played the jam 4up, tight game they played the week before, they would probably have won at least half of those six games they lost It is mighty poor baseball for a team to take the lead, then weaken and al- low the other team to forge to the front, and do 1t consistently. It is highly probable that the re- turn of Stewart to the lineup will strengthen not only the offensive and defensive strength of the team but also the morale of the Barons, and maybe comeback will be in order this week.
 The success of the Barons has cer- tainiy been varied this season. In second place at one weekend, Mo ley's men have found it surprisingly easy to drop back into the rut of carelessness, and are now entirely out of first division,
 Eleven straight victories were fol- lowed by seven straight losses. A week of success gave way to another of turmoil and defeat. If averages hold good, then the Barons are due q week of victories now.

St. Louis Clubs Are
 Giuing Fans Hopes
Cards and Browns Showing Power as Races in Two Ma jors Progress.
py JAMES J. coRBETT

1t begins to look as If St. Louis. after nearly a half century of wait ing, is to have pennant winner. The most optimistic of Mound City fans can see a brace of 1922 flags floating at the end of their particular rain- bow
 Each club has power, good pitching. fine defensive work. and terrific punch with the mace. Each is some notches back of the league leading outfit. But the rosy thing from the St. Louis viewpoint IS that both the Browns and he Cardinals have al- ways been great fnishers.
 lin most of the other years they have been so far out of 1t when they finally struck their stride that noth- ing but miracle baseball could win for them Again and again those clubs have come from mile behind with a spectacular mid summer rush and lifted themselves up to point where, far time at least, they men aced the potential champions.
 But always the task fo winning was a bit beyond them because they had too far to go.
 Different This Year
 l5Ot dlWayS the ldSk ol WluHihb ferent. Each club started off at n good clip and has been maintaining { it. If both hold to that pace until mid-July and then each can stage that spurt which has made St. Louis famous it may mean that both will jump out in front in their leagues and smash their way to the pennant heights St Louis has craved-and ever been denied.
 Back in the Chris Von Der Ahe days St. Louis did have flag winners But it wasn't a National league club that performed the trick. For Von Der Abe's Browns were in the Ameri can association.
 St. Louis has had representation In the National league for 35 years sl this marks it's twenty-first year m the American. Not only has it failed 10 produce a single pennant winner but, likewise. it has had but one sec ond place club in all those years. It's National American league outfits have played for a mark of .435.
 New Yorks Opposing
 Of course. If those Cards and Browns hope to win this year they'll have to dispose of some rather stern opposition in the makeup of the two New York clubs. Both the Tanks and the Giants have played good baseball ever since the race started and show no signs of cracking. And the Pirates furnish etxra oposition for the Cardinals
 But it is noted fact that both New York clubs and the Pirates also are better spring ball clubs than autumn finishers. If they get com manding lead into August they usual ly hold it. But it doesn't seem as If any Of that trio is going to romp very far ahead of the Cards and Browns--at least not for while.e
 And, if they don't. and the St. Louis clubs put on their usual cy- clonic stuff through the fading days of August and into September there'll be pennant waving from St. Louis flag pole after all

Criqui Gave English Fans Great Thrill in Fox

Special Correspondent of The Age-Heralu
 Copyright. 1928, by The Age-herAAdl
 New Pork, June 17.--Here Is good news for every red-bIooded man In thls country who holds brief for gameness, courage and real fighting ability-Eugene Criqui. the pale faced. war-torn pugilist, who fights with gassed lungs and the side of his face built up to replace bones crushed by piece of she'll Is com ing to this country.
 Criaui is that wonderful sort of fighter who, at the proper moment, sends for hls right and stakes his opponent to trip to dreamland. Kilbane wanted nice sum of $60,- coo for fighting him .n England. When the boy comes over here, ready to do battle. Kilbane will want sI60.0Go. For Criqui. battle scared and hero of the field of war, Is a real battling wifflngsak.
 The writer has Just received from England details of the French lads fight against Joe Fox. the English champion, red headed. thick cared, cruel and clever Englishmen wee strong for their man and bet small fortune upon the chances of Fox. Each man, too, had confidence In his own prowess, as witness that each put down 500 pounds--over 5000 as side bet.
 For ten rounds the British fans had the loveliest evening of their lives. Fox piled up points all the Way. His body was marked by the ed 1rxfr t.a1s sf. l,xf h.. lac aftt.t n punches. His mouth was bleeding and his thin hair was all mussed up. Upon his face was a look of pain nnd perplexity. Then rounds of unalloyed happiness for Fox and his friends He stopped the alleged deadly right of Criqui and himself chopped or stabbed lefts and rights to the Frenchmans head and body.
 Fox sent to Floor
 Then toward the end Of the elev- enth, with Fox stepping never so deftly and confidently-blam Griqui's right had gone across and landed not quite on the button. but near enough to send Fox to the floor. He arose at the count of nine and stood wao- bling. The bell saved him.
 lip came Fox for the twelfth his head cleared. but by no means the fighter he had been before he re- ceived the clip. Criqui immediately slashed out with his right and missed. Fox clinched. Criqui beat him about the body. They broke. Suddenly the FPenchman hooked Joe with his left to the chin. It was all ever. Curtain, lghtsl taps
 The English, who had hoped a lot about Fox, were down 1000 feet over the unexpected outcome of all o: Fox's good work, but they say any way Joe put up a good fight and had the. Frenchman beaten forty ways until he got that wallop
 Dempsey Is now going through what every champion experiences hen he has held the crown for more than year.
