CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-st. Louis
Brawling Browns might find them
selves too full Of fight to carry on
to their first American League
championship. The spirit they dis
play in other activities excels that
they show in the baseball game and
it easily could throw them of the
championship track-if they are not
already of it, despite that they still
are running at the heels of the
leading Detroit Tigers.
That pregame f1stic furore be-
tween Bob Ortiz Of the Mats and
Tom Turner, third-string catcher
Of the Browns, last night in st.
Louis wasn't the result of any nerv-
Gus tension that might be expected
to affect players on a club in a
torrid pennant race. 1t merely was
the result Of display of personal
animosity by Turner.
A valiant show of determination
by a baseball club under pressure
is highly commendable when 1t oc-
ours on the ball field. A hare-up Of
tempers leading to exchanges of
blows in the heat Of a game calls
Tor no censure. But there Is no
excuse for what Turner did to pre-
cipitate the clash with Ortiz.
1t all stemmed back to what

Stage Genuine BrawI.
While Ortiz was at batting prac-
tice last night, many uncomplimen-
tary remarks were directed at him
from the Browns bench. Finally
Bob heard one of particularly vile
type shouted by Turner. 1t was too
much for Bob to take. The Cuban
threw his bat aside, strobe to the
Browns dugout and called to Turner
to come on out"
Turner did and about the liveliest
baseball brawl ever enSued. With
the Browns coming of their bench
to form circle, Turner and Ortiz
threw fists freely. The fight lasted
perhaps two minutes before Umpire
Hal Weafer came on the field and
attempted to break it up. Mistaken
for fan from the stands, Weafer
was roughly tossed aside by one of
the st. Louis players, but the UNI

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The 1914

adorned the same National League
flagpole three straight seasons.
After losing II of their last IA

The last club to win three or more
pennants in q row was John Nc
Graw's Giants. who COPIED four

clubs, the Pirates OF 1901 1908, the
Cubs Of 1906-19O8 and the Giants OF
l911-l9l3, won three straight since
1900.
Southworth, first Card manager
to win three pennants, also should
become the first National League
pilot to win over 100 games for three
successive years. The Cards won
LOG in 1912, los in 43 and have al
ready won 90 this season.
Except at the start when the
Giants won six of the first seven
games, the Cards dominated the
league. They took the lead April

club bordering on supergreatness,
