CLEVELAND is
ONLY ONE YET
TO BE beaten
Two st. Louis Clubs Are Running
Along Like Perfect Pair
of Twins.
RY John B. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, April 1S.-Of the 10
major clubs there was one survivor
today which had yet to bite the
dust. Cleveland, alone IN the glory
of reviYing baseball spring, stands
at the head OF the class-four games
won and none lost.
The St. Louis Cardinals went
overheard Monday when they we're
clawed by the Cubs. There is not
a team in the National league which
has not been defeated. The Cards
fought vigorously to escape the
choking dose, but the Cubs made
them swallow it, and now there are
those who wonder whether, after
all, the Chicagos have not been
dnder- estimated.
The two St. Louis clubs are run
ming like twins. When one loses
the other hastens to join it, or,
rather, seems to be Involuntary
fastened by some baseball ogre.
1t has been a most interesting study
all spring to note how much these
teams are alike. except that when
they met in a series of four games,
the st. Louis Americans won three
of them. 1t would have been Even
Steven to have kept the twin re-
semblance.
Possibly the New York Ameri-
cans just escaped a thrashing when
they faced the New Bostons for the
first time. The later were in the
lead when a typical Boston gray
rain began to fall and the game was
abandoned until another day. Bos-
ton might not have lasted, but the
Bostons who are the cudgel throw
ers Of their league were using the
ash with powerful effect.
Witt OF the Athletics has been
! added to the Yankees to prop a
palsied outfeld. The price is said
to be SIS, 900. A fine deal for Phil
adelphia
Washington fell upon the Ath-
letes and gave them a regular wife
beating. 1t had 10 come sooner OF
later. The Washington club has
been laying up a storehouse of pet
ulancy because of successive de-
feats by New York and the Athlet-
les which could result only in the
merciless trouncing of some team
to get even with the world.

Downey, candidate for second
base on the Islander team. is a real
veteran. He began his league play
ing way back in 1911 in the Ne
braska State league. He was in
that organization three seasons. In
1917 he was with Quincy in the
Three-Eye league. Ted Waring was
the manager. In 1918 he went to
Spokane in the Northwest league
and a part of the season he played
in \ sh;pyards league. In 1920 and

Downey has had peculiar ex-
perience with the professional
game. Each of the three leagues
in which he has seen service threw
up the sponge. The Nebraska Stats
league passed out in mid-season in
1914. The Three Eye yielded to the
war pressure in 1917 and quit aoout
the middle of July. The Northwest
league interrupted its schedule at
