Cochrane and Dykes Find
Managing Is Arduous.
MICROSCOPIC view of

A MICROSCOPIC view of the
" major league pennant
~ races indicates that races
is the right word. There's
been nothing like it in many
years. Only two and one-half
games separate the first five
teams in the National, while
three and one-half blanket the
first five in the American.
The Boston Braves have come up
to make it a rougher battle in the
National and the American easily
could have siX-club scrap, for the
Boston Red Sox are only four and
one-haf games behind; and that's
nothing at this stage of the season.
Wesley Ferrell may be the pitcher
who will catapult the Red Sox into
the middle of the pennant fight. 1t
is said that Tom Yawkey bought Fer
rell from Cleveland at the vigorous
behest of "Bucky" Harris. Ferrell
pitched to the Red Sox in batting
practice before an exhibition game,
early in the Spring, and showed so
much stuff that Harris was sold on
the condition of the big hurler's arm.
II Grove and Ferrell can start win
ming the Red Sox will be a tough
team, for Johnny WEIGH and Gordon
Rhodes ere supplying some fine pitch
ing of the right-handed variety.
Goose Goslin of the Tigers has hit
safely in % games and Billy Herman
of the Cubs in 20. Goslin and Geh-
ringer are the only Tigers batting
over 300, although Mickey Cochrane
is close to that mark If Cochrane
had two good outfielders to help Cos
lin, the Tigers would be a good bet
for the pennant. But with White hit
ting .246 and Fox 1873, Detroit is
short on power.
Managerial worries had Cochrane

Possibly his players are good enough
to win a pennant and it will be his

be sure of that until Joe is given
a chance to do a solo job through

losing streaks. If he fails to cop the

He has been no wonder with the

to understand. Perhaps the young

THERE'S nothing new in
base ball. Not even a
brother battery on a
n major league club.
Old time followers of the
game are straining their voices
and getting writer's cramp in
announcing to the world there
is nothing unique in the busi-
ness of Wes Ferrell pitching to
brother Rick in Red SoX games.
Only last week f1ocks of experts
rushed to their typewriters and
pounded out pieces proclaiming the
union of the pitching Yves and the
catching Rick in a common cause, a
base ball innovation. But this time
the experts were all wrong.
No less than four other instances
of brothers forming a battery for
big league club have been brought to
light. And the way the reports are
coming in from the old-timers more
seem likely to be uncovered.
Most of the veteran fans cite only
one other case of big league bat
terry composed of brothers, that Of the
ONeill battery with the Cardinals Of
st. Louis.

AS MIRACLE MAN
Browns Proving Real Sen
sation in Tight American
League Race.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,

TIME miracle man of the
major league campaign
is none other than your
L old friend, Rogers Horns
by, base balls stormy petrol
extraordinary.
He started the American League
season with a bunch of fellows named
Joe. Today, perhaps by sheer force
of the Rajah's indomitable spirit. the
St. Louis Browns are the big league
sensations of the year.
A complete lull in activities yester-
day gave base ball observers an excel
lent chance to check up on Hornsby's
accomplishments with a team almost
universally consigned to the lower re-
gions of the standing in preseason
forecasts.
The "hitless Browns" of year ago
are walloping the ball to fine effect;
the fielding has held up remarkably
well despite some infield tinkering
necessitated by the failure of young
Alan Strange to hit and the presence
of an untried rookie, Harland Cliff, at
third, and the pitching has been good
enough to allow the club to cash in
on its increased power at the plate.
Perhaps the Rajah's greatest single
feat has been his handling Of Rollie
Hemsley. who 'playboy-ed" himself
out Of jobs with Pittsburgh, Cincin-
natl and Chicago in the National
League. He has been the Browns
regular catcher from the start and
now is leading the league in hitting
with his healthy Ala average.
Three Other 800 Hitters.
TINE last batch of averages show
i three other members of the club
over the $50 mark. Deb Garns,
who recently has supplanted Bruce
Campbell in the outfield, is around
400, and Ray Pepper. slugging fly
chaser, and Frank Bejma, now in
stalled at shortstop, are in the .350's
AS a team, the Browns are hitting
| 282 compared with their .253 mark
Of a year ago when Sam West, al
| 300 led the regulars. More important
however, has been the teams run
scoring ability. They have tailed 215
runs in SO games. II that sort oi
run-production continues the Browns
will score around $50 runs this year as
against only 669 last year.
Today HornsbyS men are in fourth
place, only three games out of the
lead. Since May 8 when they had
| won only 5 of their first 16 pames
they have captured Is decisions in 2;
games, just under a .667 gait.
The rise Of the Browns, and the
fine showing so far made by both De-
trolt and Cleveland, incidentally calls
attention to the fact that for the first
time in years the American League
apparently will enjoy a wide-open
race such as has come to be the
custom in the National.

Solution to PreUiOuS
Contract Problem
BY w. r. MKENNEY

Secretary American Bridge League
THE first important factor in
= contract bridge is to know how
to bid your hand correctly. Even
though you are a good player, if you
do not arrive at the proper contract,
your good play avails you nothing.
I want to advise my readers to
pay more attention to defensive
play. just because your opponents
arrive at a game contract is no rea-
son why you should give up. Always
be on the alert to execute some play
that may defeat the contract.
This is what was done by S. Gar
ton Churchill of Brooklyn. N. Y, in
the first round of the recent ma
tiOnal contract team-Of -four cham
pionship at Cincinnati.
He and his teammates won
twenty out of twenty-eigh matches
in this session. They were the de-
Tending champions, and defense is
their strongest point.
