Ti|ts Last Two Days
Draw 31,361 After
Plea for Support !,
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

1
st. Louis had an answer to its
attendance problem today in the
81 1851 paid customers for the first
two games of the Yankee-Browns
series for the American League lead.
Although 81 1851 represents a fair
Sunday crowd in some big league
towns. 1t Is roughly 20 per cent of
the Browns total home draw and is
calculated to ease the pain of last
nights 6-5 setback by the New
Yorkers. a
Only last week the st. Louis
Americans were sending out ques-
tionnaires to the fans asking why
don't you support the Browns?"
Joe McCarthy's champs came to
town trailing by two games and the
fans started to flock through the
turnstiles.
Last nights fray could have been
the key to the race although the
season does not end until October /.
If the Brownies had won, their lead
would have measured four games in
the early stages Of long home
stand.
Lindell Hits 3-Run Homer.
Johnny Lindell's 3-run homer was
the big blow in a Yankee four-run
rally booming Sig Jakucki and CIV
ing Ernie Bonham his fourth
straight.
Detroit continued to come on
strong since the return of Dick
Wakefield, taking six of eight starts
and going into fourth-place tie by
yesterdays 81 nod over Washington
as stubby Overmire outelbowed
Dutch Leonard in 10 heats.
Chicago finally cracked Boston's
"hex" after dropping II straight to
the Red Sox and captured a 5-4
game on five runs in the fifth.
Orval Grove got credit for his eighth
victory, swapping Joe Bowman's FIVE
game win streak
Ken Keltner paced Cleveland to
a II slaughter of Philadelphia with
four hits for a perfect day, while
Specs Klieman chucked his seventh
victory at Bobo Newsom's expense.
Walters Keeps Streak Intact.
Bucky Walters failed to go the
route in a night game for the first
time this season, but kept intact his
|seven-game win streak as Reliever
Arnie Carter took the loss in a 1915
shellacking by Brooklyn. Les Web
Der. the second of three Brook
hurlers, came up with the win that
moved the Dodgers back into sixth
place.
Ken Raffensberger missed a shut
out by one inning, but held on for
Philadelphia's 40 edge over Pitts
burgh's Nick Strincevich IN a Shibe
Park night outing. Nate Andrews
graduated into the 10-win class by
hurting Boston to a 6-l nod over
Chicago with Bob Chapman suffer-

Grid Leaders See Big Season
With Relaxed Co||eqe Code

A rosy atmosphere hung over the
convention of football commission
ers at the Statler Hotel, as the
solons, predicting a bigger -and-bet-
ter -than-ever 1914 grid season, to-
day pondered the easing of the COL
lege eligibility code and changes in
rules to put the collegiate game on
a level with the professionals in
showmanship.
The representatives of the coun-
try's leading conferences predicted
bigger crows and faster action and
indicated that every effort would be
made to stage the contests in areas
where "the most people can see
them" Possibility of night games
also is under discussion.
Asa S. Bushnell of the Eastern
Intercollegiate Athletic Association
said that with the return of Syra-
cuse and New York University to
active play, the East will see a far
better brand of football than last

James w. st. Clair of the South

from some of the schools, he said,

DETROIT, Mich, July 20.-Some-
where along their rocky trail the
Mats have lost the knack Of winning
extra-inning ball games. They
never were particularly good At this

rounds have been dropped by them.
With its generally good pitching
the Washington club Is likely at
any time to force the opposition
beyond the usual span Of play and
it seems that with its general weak
ness at bat it Is more likely to lose
than win in extra-inning tussling.
Although the Mats ohthit De-

Errors Beat the Dutch.
1t was q cluster Of three errors
all the Mats committed-that beat
Dutch Leonard in the extra round,
although he contributed to his
downfall by issuing his only pass
OF the game at the outset of
the 10th.
Stubby Overmire, portside pitch
er, drew the walk. Joe Hoover laid
down a sacrificia1 bunt, but Joe
kuhel skidded and fell as he was
about to field the ball and there
were two Tigers on the runway.
Here Eddie Mayo shot a double
play grounder toward George Myatt.
The second baseman fumbled and
the sacks were jammed with Tigers.
Then Kuhel nabbed Doc Cramer's
bounder and tossed to the plate for
what should have been a force-out,
but Rick Ferrell dropped the ball
and the Tigers had the game.
