Like all other finals in the tourna-
ment, it was quite scrap, particu-
larly in the second set which

With Brownies as
important Test

The spirited bid presently being
made by the st. Louis Browns for
their first American League pennant
in more than 40 years of competi-
ton is receiving the respectful at
tention of Ossie Bluege, among
others.

mitted that he is greatly impressed
by the 1914 Browns. who oppose the
Griffs in a War Relief game at
Griffith Stadium a week from to-
morrow night, July Z, under the
joint sponsorship of the District
Legion and the Touchdown Club.
Bluege, was coming up as a rookie
with the Mats in 1922 when the
Browns made their greatest bid for
the pennant and feels that Luke
SeWells present combination is every
bit as dangerous in present COM
pany as were the Browns Of that
day.
They may lack the heavy artillery
provided by George Sisler, Baby
Doll Jacobson, John Tobin and Ken
Williams" Os says, "but the "a
Browns are a well-rounded club for
. war year."
Boss Bluege also feels that his
Nationals are much better club
than they appear in spots, ana feels
that next week ends series with the
Browns. which opens with the War
Relief game, may prove most i'm
portant to both teams.
Meanwhile, tickets for the War

The balance of the team, consisting
