Twice in. all the history of the
American league have the Browns
finished in second place, their
highest achievement. In 1902
they finished five games behind
the Athletics. In 1922, twenty
years later, they lost out to the
Yankees by the slim margin of a
single game, or six points.
The Griffmen likewise have
finished second twice, in 1912 and
1913, largely through the great
pitching of Walter johnson and
the presence of Chick Gandil in
the batting order. I. The Red Sox
beat them by fourteen games In
1912 and a year later they finished
six and one-half games behind the
Philadelphia Athletics.
Once, in 1921, the Browns fin
ished third and they were fourth
in 1908 and 1920. In twenty
four years the Browns have fin
ished in the first division just
five times.
The Griffs have a better record.
They finished third in 1914 and
1918 and fourth in 1915, 1921 and
1928, making a total of seven
first division finishes.
Have Rabid Supporters.
THE Browns have as support
ers at home the most rabid
fans in the world. unless Gin
cinnati takes the prize.
We have gone into st. Louis
with the Washington club and
could actually count the fans in
the ball park. A small fringe
around the ancient wooden bleach
er and a few dots and dabs in the
stand, that's all. We have also
gone into st. Louis when the
Browns were in the race and had
to fight our way into the park
after grabbing a hot dog and
five beers at Jack Powell's on
the corner.
st. Louis fans know baseball.
The oldtimers bark back to the
glorious days Of Comiskey's four
time American Association cham
pions and the curious efforts of
Chris Won der Abe in the early
COS.
Sandlot baseball in St. Louis
is in a flourishing state. There
are diamonds everywhere, all clut-
Tered up with youngsters playing
the national game. It is from
such sandlot diamonds, too, that
such players have come as Muddy
Ruel, Johnny Tobin and Mickey
ONelll, just to name three upper
most In our mind at this moment.
Would Help, Not Hurt.
THOUGH no ball player is ex-
pected to agree, a victory for
the st. Louis Browns would
help the game because of the
small size Of Sportsmen's Park.
Paradoxical? No, not at all.
If you will turn to page 81 of
the Little Red Book" sold at all
sporting goods stores, you will
find the dope on the 1928 world
series in eight columns. The first
tells the date of each game, the
second the names of the contend
ing clubs, the third the scores and
the fourth the attendance. Then
come the receipts, the players

HARD LUCK AND PROSPERITY

The Almighty understood his busi-
ness when he made up the folks OF
this world and so constituted them
that a person can stand hard luck
better than prosperity. Adversely
comes to so many more than does
prosperity that it's well that the
down and outer can smile and keep on
trying You see evidence every day
of the fact that not one man in a
hundred can stand prosperity. And If
you will look closely enough you will
see plenty of evidence that the poor
man is a happy philosopher.
