Browns Rough on Tribe.
Generally, the st. Louis Browns
are used as stepping stones by
Notwithstanding teams in the
American League. But that's not
the case when the Cleveland In

The Browns, in last place 40

the Indians out of the 1850 race
and last night they dealt them
a staggering blow in the current
flag chase.

Tom Fool and Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt's Cousin, leading con-
tenders for the 2-year-old cham
pionship. tangle again today in
the 47th running of the Hopeful
Stakes.
In all. seven colts are entered
for the 6l2-furlong event. which
closes the month-long meeting
here. However, most people here
abouts look for a two-horse duel
between Tom Fool and Cousin
in their second meeting. If all
start, the race will gross 500, 400
with $50 900 to the winner.
Had Weight Concession.
Last Saturday, Tom Fool took
command in the stretch during

wire. The Greentree colt had
only 122 pounds, however. COM
pared with 126 for Cousin, for
the three-fourths of a mile event
Both pack 122 today.
Cousin was closing fast in the
Grand Union and many observers
believe the half-furlong extra
in the Hopeful will be all the Van
derbilt colt needs.
Tom Fool will have a running
mate, Greentree's The Minor
while Cousin also goes as an entry
with another Vanderbilt juvenile
Color Guard. The Minor ran i'm
pressively in winning here earlier
