By Again Beating BROWNS, rs

ut. LOUIS, August 12.-This St
Lous ball club, for years plain
poison" to the Nationals, holds
~ no terrors for the Washington
band this season. BY beating the
Browns, to S, here yesterday, the Ma
tionals assured themselves of an even
break at least in the 22-game annual
series with Phil Balls hirelings, and
with six games to be played to complete
the set, at that.
To cop their second successive game
of this visit the Nationals got to George
Blaeholder for II safeties, one homer
by Joe Cronin, and six passes. Bob
Burke started against the Browns and
went along well until the ninth, when
he weakened and had to give way to
Myles Thomas after one was out. Bob
was found for nine hits and four walks
being yielded in the ninth.
The Browns had put three runs across
and had a runner on first base when
Thomas went to Burke'S rescue. Tommy
was somewhat wild, but managed to
check the rally quickly
Each side counted in the second in
ming. Myers double Vests sacrifice and
Cronin's single accounted for the Wash
1ngton marker. The st. Louis run re-
suited from a pass to Schultz, Melillo's
single and a one-base whack by Roetz
before any one was retired. Then Fer
rell fouled out. Burke famed BlaeholdeI
and Roetz was tagged in thieving at
tempt.
After the third round rain delayed
proceedings for nearly half hour, and
shortly after play was resumed the
Browns went to the front. Kress' dou-

Henry defeated Barnes, 81 to 16;;
Livingston, 81 to q, and Royston,
so to 20.
In the three big games the
champion chucked 40 ringers,
with 8 doubles in each.
Henry Is a muscular, vigorous CHAP,
and aggressive. He throws horseshoes
with a strong will to win and almost
utter confidence He literally slams the
shoe at the peg. 1t makes barely
perceptible arc and turns twice.
He looms as tough customer IN
the Fairfax County play-of, ana II
fortune favors him there he should
make 1t hot for somebody In the
Northern Virginia play-off.
The most talked-about player in The
Stars tournament and a leading can
didate for the Metropolitan district
crown is Earle Crane, who won the
Silver Spring title in the largest pre-
liminary of the entire event.
Crane picked what looked to be the
toughest spot to get started. Along
with several other Washingtonians he
chose to compete out of town. The
Plaza preliminary here was barred TO
him because he insisted on using shoes
that the director thought not regula-
ton. However, they later were declared
legitimate. No objection was raised to
them at Silver Spring. Several par
Elephants there borrowed them.
Crane has won distinction in big
time barnyard golf, but hadn't thrown
the slippers seriously for some time
until The Stars tournament was an
npunced.
Competition will be resumed today in
the divisional play-offs here, with the
runners-up and finalists of prelimi-
naries engaged. The divisional flnalists
wild start the struggle for east and
west sectional honors a week from next
Wednesday, with the east matches
scheduled at the Plaza and the west

ground.

The before-the-game peSsimiSm al
ways has been the foot ball coach's best
alibi. He intimates that his material is
none too good and that what there is OF
it is badly battered up. Then II the
team wins against apparently hopeless
odds the coach gets the reputation of
being one of those miracle men" OF
sports.
"Pessimism," Mr.. Rockne is quoted as
saying, has been worked to death. 1t
is time to swing back the other way and
accept our problems with a more cheer
full outlook"
It is hard to remember any time when
intercollegiate foot ball was not taken
with the utmost seriousness by all d.
rectly commemorative players, the UNI
dergraduates and the alumnt-and IL is
hardly probable that Mr.. Rockne's ad-
vice will change things. We might wait
to see just how far Mr.. Rockne Will go
in this direction himself. If, just in
advance of the season, Mr.. RocSne
comes out with statement to the Ell
feet that He expects Notre Dame to
come very close to winning all OF the
games in its hard schedule then the
coaches who listened to him and those
who read will begin to believe that there
is a change coming.
He insists that he intends 10 pre-
sent a more or less radiant picture"
of his prospects this year. He might
have started this some time back.
say, about the time he first started
coaching at Notre Dame. The 1e-
suits would have justified the most
radiant of predictions. But it is bet
ter late than never, and it will be in
teresting to see what the result OF
the radiancy on the part of this
coach will be on the team and TO
watch its effect on the other
coaches.
Then about some time next season we
may expect to read that Mr.. Gilmour
Dobie, when interviewed at Ithaca,
said: ''The squad which reported to
me this year comprises some Of the best
material ever have seen anywhere. I
will have great line and great back
field this year. I do not see how Cor

Mack's Box Staff Is Faltering,
But the A's Retain Huge Lead

I marked by the fall of the late Christy
MathewSon's lifetime winning record
or 372 games. Grover Cleveland Alex
ander held the Phillies to two hits in
the last four rounds of the thinning
second game on Saturday, and got credit
for the 11-to-9 victory as the 373d of
his 19-year career. The champion
Cards tied the game for Alex with one
in the ninth and won with two more in
the eleventh.

ing over foot ball.
The Base Ball Optimist.
loot BALL is the only sport, anna
L teur or professional, that has been
tinged with this pesSimiSm. At the start
of base ball season every manager in
the big league, with the possible eXcep-
ton of Mr.. Miller Higgins of the Yank-
ees, is an optimist. Mr.. Higgins is the
only one to take the Gildobian attitude,
even when he is provided with the most
expensive collection of ivory in the ma
| tional paStime.
Mr.. John Joseph McGraw always
seems to be positive optimist, and the
results attained by him since he started
managing the Giants have justified this
mental attitude. Mr.. Wilbert Robin
son, frequently starting with sad
looking collection of athletes, always
volunteers the statement that he will
be up there or Whereabouts. Mr.. Robin
sons average as manager has not been
too bad.
Mr.. Cornelius McGillicuddy of the
Athletics has been an optimist ever
since he scrapped the famous per
feet" base ball team and patiently
started to build another almost per-
feet base ball team. He had to be,
and it looks very much as though Mr..
McGillicuddy would once more be
participating in world series.
1t would be interesting to see what
happens If one of the base ball man
ayers took the positive attitude of pessi-
mism that is taken by most of the foot
ball coaches. Surprising that Mr.. John
Joseph McGraw, when pressed for a
prediction at the start Of the season,
should say: 1.-THE Giants of this year
are pretty poor looking lot. I do not
see how they figure to finish in the
first division. fact, think they will
wind up in the cellar"
wonder what effect that would have
on the players and-more important
on the customers.
Alexander's New Record.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, winning
his 373d game, breaks the lifetime rec
ord for the National League, which
was established by Christy Mathewson.
Mathewson's record was established
while he still was a member Of the
Giants, while the more or less vener-
able Mr.. Alexander has been some
thing Of a gypsy of the league.
Mr.. Alexander IS more or less coy
about telling his exact age, but his
soupbone has lasted beyond all the
Is the junior of John Picus Quinn, the
ancient splitter, but not by so many
years.
Probably the most spectacular
performance turned in by Alex
ander was during a world series
between the Yankees and the
Cardinals. It stretched to the last
game. Mr.. Alexander, who already
had won two games, concluded
that he was through working for
that particular series and was
present only as spectator, accord
ing to his line of reasoning.
He was not even an interested spec
tator. He figured that so far as he
was concerned the base ball season was
ever for the year. But the pinch
came and Mr.. Alexander was reused
from his day dreams and called into
action. He shufled into the box and
checked the heavy artillery Of the
Yankees.
Mr.. Alexander was not troubled by
nerves. The crucial game of a world
series was just ball game to him.

THE reported cracking Of the Ath-
letic pitching staff seems to be
gathering confirmation in the
l. West, but the crash will have tc
assume much louder tone be-
fore it becomes audible to the Yankees
across a chasm of 101a games. The
leaders and their pursuerS both broke
even over the week end as the Cubs
picked up one and one-half games on
the Pirates by winning twice while the
Buccaneers were dropping the odd
game in three.
The week end in the American
League was notable chiefly for Nose
Groves third failure within week to
spear that elusive eighteenth victory
and for Babe Ruth's 499th and 500th
home runs Of his major league career.
The Red Sox and the White Sox di-
