Sisler is a great ballplayer. He
is a great batsman, a great first
sacker and a great baserunner.
But he is only one man in a
game calling for the combined
skill of nine men each and every
day. He may 90 his best, but
he is helpless unless he receives
aid from the other eight men in
the lineup.
The principal reasons for the
utter failure of the Browns to get
started this season are the abb
sence of Urban Shocker, the slow
rounding into condition of Elan
Van Glider and the light hitting
of Ken Williams and McManus.
Shocker is the only really hon.
est-to goodness hurler with the
Browns. Van Glider has his good
days when in shape. Dave Dam
forth used to be good, but he is
now not so good. The remainder
of the staff might as well be
back in the bushes. Their COM
pany is too fast for them.
A year ago Ken Williams was
busting home runs everywhere
and every day. This season he
has not been in good shape. In
deed, he has been out of the
lineup at times. When playing
he has not shown his former abil.
ity to clout the ball.
A year ago Marty McManus
was making his bid for Eddie
Collins title of being the best
secondsacker in the league. He
was proving himself a demon
hitter with runners on the bases.
This year he has failed to get
started.
The Browns do not belong in
last place, but they are doomed
to remain in the ruck until
Shocker and Van Glider are avail
able and their best batsmen are
finding the ball.
However, with a two-man pitch
ing staff, it is going to be a
superhuman task for the Browns
to hang on in the pennant fight.
Few believe they can succeed,
even with George Sisler shining
IN the field and numbering the
ball.

Of the season, will oppose Herb
Pennock, Miller Higgins slender
southpaw, in today's game at the

game Of the series and was leading,

Bucky Harris decided quickly that
the aged hurler would look much
better under the showers and called
upon Fred Marberry, who resembles
Jack Dempsey somewhat In size
and visage.
Marberry came in with Scott on
third and nobody out. Prothro
threw out Schang, letting Scott
tally. Hendrick, up for Jones,
singled and Witt got away with
safe bunt. Qugan failed utterly to
solve Marberry's stuff and whitfield.
