Pep worked nine rounds, includ- ing floor drills, bag punching and boxing. He boxed five rounds with Jackie Leamus and Benny Singleton and was in such fine fettle that Trainer Bill Gore was compelled to admit he never knew Willie to be as sharp.

 Pep. at the end of his training routine yesterday, weighed so close to the featherweight limit of l26 pounds that he will be pound or so from that figure when the fighters weigh in tomorrow.
 A good guess is that Pep will weigh within a half pound of the l27 IA pounds he hit for his bout with Willie Joyce and Manuel Ortiz.

St. Louis Fans Come To Life
CReg. U. S. Pat. Office) BY JACK CUDDY
Limited Press Staff COFrespOndentl

United Press Staff COrrespondentD
 New York, August 3. - CUP) - While there are still enough leaves on the trees to provide protective cover from snipers, we're moving out on a limb today to predict that Bob Muncrief of the Browns is go- ing to pitch against Morton Cooper of the Cardinals in the first game of an All-St. Louis World Series.
 Knowing full we'll that the trees shed their leaves by World Series time, we're still willing to stake out a claim on our branch (not Branch Rickey) and Park there until the Yankees. Red Sox. Indians or Tigers come along and prove we're wrong.
 There1l be company on the limb, too. The St. Louis Random - at long last-is waking up to the fact that the long denied Brownies are on their way to their first pennant.
 They've been skeptical and with good reason. Year after year they have watched the team either tot- ter and dodder in the second divis- ion or fold up after a good front run and yield the top spot to some other club.
 The rest of the nation accepted the Browns this year before their own fans did. Disappointments born of too many failures made them the poorest drawing club in either league until their recent home stand when the fans finally began to take them seriously.
 Now, our St. Louis operative in- forms us, they are getting ready to go wild. The team is five and a half games in front, readying itself for the last trip east which will make or break its chances. If, after in- vading the parks of the eastern contenders, the Yankees and the Red Sox, they are able to come home still in front, the fans will tear down the ball park. And there is precedent for that, too.
 "St. Louis has always been an American League town" our in- formant says. "In 1922 on Labor Day when they drew a full house for a double header, the fans got SO excited they ripped up the seats and tore the wooden sides off the park. After that they put up con- crete sides, but there is no telling what the fans will do if the Browns come home in front"
 He emphasizes that St. Louisans, by nature cautious. have been walt ing to see what happens. but that they will swing over to the support of the Browns in favor of the cards if the teams meet in the series.
 The fans of 1922 had their spree for nothing, because the Tanks went on to nose them out for the pennant, but they don't believe that will happen this time. There is no less an authority for that than Mike Gonzales, the canny Cuban coach of the currently neutral cards.
 "The Browns they will win" he sputtered. Their infield eet ees wonderful almost as good as the Cardinals, no? The Yankees, they are not the Yankees any more. The Red Sox, good hit, no pitch"
