portance of home-front support in

It's difficult to figure the sale of

the Reds forte is pitching. In sell

pennant winner.

distinction on the Browns by refer

plays 154 games year"

scrambling American League race

The ex-football coach of the Chi
cago Cardinals said today what
the club does on its next road trip
is going to decide pretty much its
pennant future, adding II think
the Browns will be in there for the
rest of the season."
''.The club has been doing all
right so far and we don't have a
300 hitter to serve as a bellwether
or do we have any outstanding
pitchers.
We've had some good fielding
and opportune hitting and if there
