NEW YORK. March 28.-The spring
that brings out the crocus and the
robin also has brought out the Browns.
Perennial doormats OF the American
League, the Brownies are riding high
in first place in the grapefruit circuit
with spotless record of eight straight
victories.
The Yankees needn't be. alarmed.
The Browns have been beating Texas
League teams. They have yet to play
a major league ball club, but it's great,
not to say surprising, while it lasts.
Giants Are Runners-Up.
The Giants are in second place with
IL wins and three defeats, and are
up in the firing against American
League teams.
Thus far, the National holds q to
20 edge in interleague combat. The
Reds, who are fourth, lead in knock
ing over the American Leaguers. The
Reds have won six out of seven starts
against junior circuit clubs. The
Yanks have won six games from
National League opponents, but they
have lost five.
The Cubs rank third with seven VIC
tories in 10 games. while the Pirates
are fifth. The Athletics have played
the most games, II; have scored the
most runs, 13l. and have been scored
on the most, 139 times. The AS have
won eight.
The Giants and the Tigers have the
best records against teams of their
respective leagues. The Giants have
won all three of their intraleague
games while the Tigers have taken
their two games against American
Leaguers.

STENCIL BELIEVES
BEES HAVE CHANCE
His Pennant Hope Is Only
Funny Thing About Once
Comic Casey.
BY GALE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

BRADENTON, Fla. March s28.--
It's q tragic announcement to have
to make, but Casey Stengel has joined
up with the conservative Boston set
and isn't funny any more The only
comic crack he made in half hours
earnest conversation was that his Bees
might win the National League pen
nant.
The man who used to WOW them
over in Brooklyn sits there now as
dignif1ed as kid wearing his first
stiff collar and insists upon discussing
such trivial items as batting and
fielding averages and pitching posi-
biliies. He even made a point OF
having names pronounced correctly.
Once he said, mistily:
Il can't tell you how much / ap-
preciate the way these folks have
treated me since I took over the club.
I haven't got lot Of background like
some managers"
He referred. no doubt, to such old
line. rock-ribbed landed gentry as
Burleigh Grimes of the Missouri
Grimeses and to frankie Frisch, the
Bronx boulevardier. In time. Of
course, Casey will learn that Burleigh
and frankie are just as democratic
as anybody.
Shuns Coaching Lines.
During the Bees exhibition games
Casey doesn't even get out on the
coaching lines, but sits back sedately
in the dugout and makes motions, just
like Connie Mack. except that he
doesn't use a score card, yet. Only
once in the course of game did he
60 out and argue modestly with the
base umpire. He said he was feeling
all right. too.
Contributing to the new gravity I'M
doubtedly is the fact that Casey is
more or less on the spot in taking
over the Bees after the miracles they
performed under Bill McKechnie last
year. With an old-folks pitching staff
and not .300-hitter in the lineup,
they finished fifth.
Now Casey has the same club, ex-
SCpO IAIdt II . year OlOCl, anu lie .
bound to feel the strain. If the Bees
finish worse than fifth. Boston fans
won't be pleased with Casey. And If
they do finish as high as fifth again,
this writer, for one, will be greatly
astonished.
West Promising Newcomer.
Owner Robert Quinn doesn't appear
to have come up with any help to
speak Of Max West. a young out
fielder who hit 1871 for the Missions
in the Coast League last year, is the
only newcomer with a chance of
breaking into the regular lineup He
might replace either Gene Moore or
Roy johnson.
THAT looks to be our best chance
of getting q little more punch" STEM
gel admitted. Il have hopes, though,
that some Of the regulars will hit
better this year. With the kind OF
pitching and defense we've got we
don't need lot of hitting to have a
good chance at the pennant."
Which works around to the vital
question of whether those two magni-
f1cent minor leaguers. Lou Fette and
Jim Turner. possibly can have another
such season as last year, when each
won 20 games. Casey thinks they can
and will.

Joe Krakauskas. the left-hander

after the Columbus game last Friday
and tried vainly to pitch out the kink

Chief HogSett was another casualty
yesterday in the pre-game workout at

hole and turned his ankle. 1t isn't
serious, however.

strike.

Melo Almada made the best out
field play of the spring so far when
he ran country mile to snag Woody

third inning. It was triple. at least,
and with a runner on first base at the
time.

He struck out Roy johnson, Tony

AL simmons did not snow much arm
in the Bees fifth, when they broke the
scoreless deadlock and pushed across
what proved to be the winning run.
With the bases loaded and one down,
English lifted a short fly to left. SIM
mons caught the ball in deep short
and should have thrown out Elbie
Fletcher. who ran with the catch.
AIS heave, however, had nothing on
it. When it hit the infield on first
bounce it seemed to have the back
spin of chip shot.
Giuliani made his first appearance

Vince Di Maggie promptly decided to
try his fellow countryman's arm.
Giuliani threw him out with ease.
