BROWNIES PUT
REALBRA|NS IN
THEIR GAMES
Mania for Home Runs and Use
Of Lively Ball Not Enough
For ST. Louis.

One of the reasons why the
Browns are perched on the highest
peak Of the American League per-
centage table is because they have
reasoned that even with the lively
ball and the mania for home runs a
team can still put brains in its play
ing.
The Browns use their domes for
something besides a piece Of anat-
omy TO stick under a shower after a
ball game. Both in attack and de-
fense they tap the deeper springs Of
baseball knowledge and perception.
st. Looey employs the run-and-hit
device as well as cold .blooded, brute
force hitting. Sisler, nonparen OF
hitters, would just as soon draw a
pass as make a base hit. All the
Browns can bunt.
They have such a varied attack
that the opposition. especially the
pitcher and catcher, is always under
high nervous strain.
II the Browns stepped up to the
pate with the sole idea of hitting
home runs, they would not be In
first place today. They make their
share of homers, and in Ken VIII
liams they have one of the four
sack specialists Of our strike-af'
feCted nation.
On the defense the Browns are
not afraid to shift. They wear no
bare patches in the outfield by
playing for every batsman alike
The outfiefders and infielders shift
with each batsman.
II the Browns this year fetch
the first American League pennant
in history to the banks of the
Mississippi. 1t will be a tribute ia
the integrity and patience Of Lee
Fohl in teaching his men inside
play and, moreover, requiring them
to stick to such a policy, and not
letting them forget lessons of the
morning in the game in the after
noon.
Fohl, a manager with no pres:
agents, must get every credit fol
the showing Of the Browns this

PINCH HITTER
Of OTHER DAYS
FOLLOWS CAME
Harry Mccormick Rejoices in
Kind Of Contests Put Up
BY St. Louis Browns.

Harry Mccormick. famed pinch
hitter OF the Giants, still follows
major league current events close
ly. He has seen the decline in
scientific team play. and rejoiced
in the occasional examples OF teams
like the Browns. where the best
side OF baseball is still practiced.
When I played with the Giants. -
said Mccormick the other day. INC.
Graw always played what was called
a closed outfield.
"McGraw made the pitcher serve
the opposing batsman the kind OF
ball he wanted to hit. Then he
dressed his field accordingly. II
the batsman were a dead left.f
hitter. McGraw would move the left
fielder over near the line and the
center fielder over toward left and
the right fielder over toward center
THE third baseman and short.
stop and second baseman also
shifted. Sometimes we were crossed
and the batsman would slip one
into a vacant zone, but the per.
centage always favored McGraw's
plan.
How often I've seen Konetchy
whang the ball he liked to hit
! The crowed yelled as the ball flew
out into left field a mile a minute
Then you would see our left fielder
go hack eight yards and wait for
the drive to fall in his glove, when
the cheers would suddenly stop.
Perhaps that system might not
altogether do in the present day
of the lively ball, but II can help t.

Columbia Work rkmen
Shoot For Par
AT Noon

Workmen on the Columbia
Country Club course are on the
fairways and in the bunkers
most of the day, raking, cut
ting, scraping, trimming and
moving. They are right on the
job and show little interest in
passing players. Promptly at
noon, when the lunch hour ar
rives, they put down their tools
and attack their lunches with
vigor. In flash the lunch
pals are emptied. Almost mi
raculously clubs and balls ap-
pear. For the remainder of
the lunch hour many of them
shoot around the fairway or
on the greens while others lie
under convenient trees and
watch the impromptu matches.
And, it is reported, some of
them shoot a mean pill.

Spend Vacations In
Trying To Swim
Channel

OF all the many ways for a
man to spend his vacation the
most peculiar is in attempting
to swim the English channel.
1t seems to be a midsummer
mania, sort Of hot-weather
affliction. Several swimmers,
including some Americans, have
already signified their intention
Of attempting the swim this
month.
If they all carry out their In
tentions the channel will be so
cluttered up with swimmers that
steamboat traffic will have TO
be suspended.

| "THO are the ten best golfers
" in the District? With all
w sorts Of competition offered
in the spring tournaments.
monthly affairs, club champion
ships and inter-club matches,
there is considerable discussion
as to the relative merits Of the
various club players. Columbia,
it seems, Leads in the number
of so-called star performers.
While Columbia has been knocked
off twice in club competition
there are more ranking players
there than in any other organiza-
ton. Chevy Chase, Washington,
Bannockburn, and the public
course offer many cracks for
consideration.
An attempt to line UP the ten
| leaders in the District, based upon
competitive play, reveals the fact
that at this time Washington Is able
to muster greater golfing strength
than at any time in its history.
The unprecedented entry listed in
all spring tournaments, the popular
| ity Of club matches each month and
on holidays and the closeness of
competition this year shows without
question that no single player has
the call for first, second or third
honors.
Donald Woodward, Of Columbia,
made the best showing In the
tournaments this spring. He won
the Washington affair, was put out
| I'm the semi.final at Columbia and
Chevy Chase and was runner.mp
to, Thomas Sesscer In the Middle
Atlantic titular engagement at
Wilmington.
! Premier honors go to Guy NJ
Standifer, District champion. He
won the championship last fall and
while his play this spring has been
below his usual standard he still
holds top position.
Miller b. STEVENSON, Of Columbia
Is perhaps third in the rating. Stew
inson tied for medal honors In the
big Columbia tournament and later
made history in winning the affair
from Chris. J. Dunphy.
In order to start and continue the
discussion, the first ten players In
the District as listed without rank
are Guy NJ. Standifer, Donald Wood
ward, Miller B. STEVENSON, Chris J
Dunphy, Walter r. Tuckerman, Wal
ter r. McCallum, Marshall Whit
latch, Albert r, Mackenzie, George
II. Gbasmar and r. Cliff Mckimmie
,.Dunphy was winner of the second
sixteen at Chevy Chase. He defeated
Frank Thompson, the Canadian title
holder. He was runner.up at Colum

Jean Brayton, versatile star. once
more comes forward and delivers
In crisis for the Roamers. Fans
we'll remember his iron-man per
formances in the 1921 campaign,
which carried the Roamers to a
championship. He toed the slab
against the Aztecs yesterday and
won after a struggle. 1t was his
first effort as a pitcher in the pres
ent series.
Nick Pinella pitched six in
Lefty Mcintyre took his place.
Both did we'll enough. Both teams
mixed hits and errors to make
runs. Union Park was well filled
with fans and the mob LED well
satisfied at having seen q real
ball game.
Tomorrow the big series attrac-
tion, in fact. the only one, will be
q contest between the Dominican
Lyceum and Knickerbocker teams
in fierce Section A of the unlimited
class, at Washington barracks. A
victory for either will be Of ex-
treme Importance.
Should Dominican Lyceum win the
Southwest team will look mighty good
with five victories and one defeat.
The Shamrock, Sherwood and Knick-
erbocker teams, though, have lost
only one game, and each has a chance
to equal the Dominican Lyceum
standing.
Costello Post forfeited to War
Finance In Section b of the un-
limited class. 1t was not expected.
The Mohawk club, without loss In
five starts, is conceded the section
title by many fans, but several
teams in Section G are far from
giving up.
Trinity takes another tumble. This
time the Warwicks are on top. The
two crack Junior teams clashed yes
terday and the Warwicks won by the
surprisingly heavy margin Of 16 to 4.
Believe II or not, perhaps the
best game played yesterday was
between midget teams, the Mid
lands trimming the Liberty Cubs,
3 tO2.
The Union Printers triumphed over
Mercury for the second time, score,
10 to 3. 1t was an exciting battle
until the last inning, the seventh,
when the Printers shot over seven
tallies.
No games are scheduled for today.

=. MdIntdHn tne ringer grip 1HlS
Is one of the most important injunc-
tions in golf. The finger grip ac.
quaints the player with the touch
sense of the game. Golf is not a
game of strength, but of touch. The
longest drivers. the hardest OF hit.
ters, like George Duncan, Harrison
Johnston and others, seem to apply
a terrific power to their swings. but
If you could observe closely enough
you would see that their clubs were
gripped with the fingers only. Some
players learn to use the finger grip
at the tee only to lose 1t OIL the fair
way. They think the iron club,
being heavier. must be swung harder
and. therefore, held tighter. Its own
weight, when swung with the
fingers, imparts the distance to the
ball. 1t is held somewhat tighter,
but tighter with the fingers.

right mental attitude in this depart

difference between two puts to the
