be a lot of old players who would not
be able TO bat as they did. The lively
ball was a good alibi for the pitchers
who were slipping and they try to
use 1t yet, but any experienced catcher
who stood day after day and watched
some of the pitching that IA going
up to the plate in 1921 knew mighty
well why there was SO much batting
in the big leagues"
One afternoon in June, 1921. they
made 1874 base hits in the major leagues
and on three afternoons they made
over $50. The biggest day they have
had this season is 1865. On four days
only have the batters been able TO get
over 16O.
On four afternoons in 1921. the home
runs went into double figures. Fifteen
was the highest total. Not a single
instance of double figures in 1922 once
last season when June roses were at
their best the batters busted 10 three
baggers but IA is their limit this year.
Game after game was pitched in
1921 with base hits in double figures.
They went as high as % for one team.
This year game after game shows that
the players can't get double figures
of their total of base hits. There are
plenty of SKIES and sevens.
The batters were hitting harder in
May. 1922. than they have been hit
ting in June, 1922, and that's another
indication that the pitchers are getting
their grip, not only on the ball but on
the batters.

1t begins to look as If st. Louis,
after nearly a hall a century of wait
ing, is to have a pennant winner. The
most optimistic Of Mound City fans
can see a brace of 1922 flags floating
at the end of their particular rainbow.
Each club has power, good pitching,
fine defensive wo.k, and E terrific
punch with the mace. The rosy thing
from the st. Louis viewpoint is that
both the Browns and the Cardinals
have always been great %finishers.
In most of the other years they have
been as far out of it when they finally
struck their stride that nothing but
miracle baseball could win for them.
Again and again these clubs have come
from a mile behind with a spectacular
mid summer rush and lifted themselves
up to a point where, for q time at
least, they menaced the potential
champions. But always the task of
winning was a bit beyond them because
they had too far to go.
But this year it is somewhat differ
ent. Each club started off at a good
clip and has been maintaining it. If
both hold to that pace until mid-July
and then each can stage that squirt
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 crayed-and ever has been denied.

Fox clinched Criqui beat him about ths
body. They broke. Suddenly the
Frenchman hooked Joe with his left
to the chin. 1t was all over. Curtain!
Lights! Taps!
Britain's Hopes Fall
The English who had hoped a lot
for Fox were down 1000 feet over
the unexpected outcome of all of Fox's
good work, but they said anyway Joe
put up q good fight and had the frog
beaten 40 ways until he got into that
wallop.
Dempsey is now going through what
every champion experiences when he
has held the crown for more than a
year. So-called experts among the old
timers are bringing up lists of names
of former champions who N their day
were so much better than Jack that
they make the present title holder look
sick by comparison. One paresis guy
for instance, that John L. Sulli-
van would have faded Jack in two
rounds. Yet no one has laughed.
Where has all the alleged American
sense of humor gone?

Lead at Finish.

st. Louis did have flag winners. But
it wasn't a National league club that
performed the trick, for Won Der Ahe's
Browns were in the American ~associa-
ton.
st. Louis has had representation in
the National league for 35 years and
this marks its twenty-first year in the
American. Not only has it failed to
produce a single spennant winner, but.
likewise. it has had but one second
place club in all those years. Its
National league club, in "a complete
seasons, have averaged All while the
American league outfits have played
for a mark of .435.
OF course, if the Cards and Browns
hope to win this year they'll have to
dispose of some rather stern opposition
in the market of the two New York
clubs. Both the Yanks and the Giants
have played good baseball evei since
the race started. An the Pirates fur
nish extra opposition for the Cardinals.
But 1t is a noted fact that both New
York clubs and the Pirates also are
better spring ball clubs than autumn
finishers. If they get a commanding
lead into August they usually 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 a while.
And, if they don't, and the st. Louis
