Ha! The secret Is out.

Now we know why the Browns have been winning In spite of the heat: They're spending their nights at Sportsman's Park. When the late, but Intense heat wave started from the "High Bermudas" on its blazed trail to the "Michigan flats," the Brownies detected their respective domiciles and began to camp out. Eddlo Vlank and Armando Marsans started it. They Invested in army cots and carried them to top deck of the grand stand eight days ago, and there they slept every night. Tho news spread, and the open-air colony increased.

Heat sufferers began to invest in cots and a majority of the players applied for "rooms" In the upper deck. "The only danger attached to this," said Plank yesterday, "is the possibility of being blown away. Sleep? Why, you can pass away on compression up there." Visiting clubs are complaining of the heat. Trn coming back with Big I aid Manager Jones today, "and It will take a lot of pitching to beat him. Davenport has Just found himself.

He was the best pitcher In the Federal League, last season, and I knew he had It In him to win In the American. However, he and the rest us were Blow to get going." The Browns sure were slow, but they finally have put the right foot forward. Their victory yesterday, 42, over the Yanks was their eleventh straight conquest, a record for the American League this season riaveland won eight straight in May. four from Chicago and four from Detroit. Boston terminated this drive by beating the Indians, 6 1, on May 9.

Yesterday, the Browns looked even better than they have at any previous time during this long-delayed offensive. There was visible evidence of a punch. For instance: Slsler singled In the second frame and Pratt followed with a double. Marsans sin gled and two runs were over. Slsler and Pratt Repeat.

In the fourth Slsler again opened with a single. Again Pratt doubled and Marsans "sacked" him to third. Severeld singled and two more runs were over. That was enough. Hamilton, away to a bum start, righted himself in the second frame and went along swimmingly until the ninth.

Then a walk, a double and an Infield single, congested traffic on the tow-paths. Jones promptly called for Davenport. If there is one thing above all others that has maintained the popularity of the Browns, even during Davenport, Cool anil RwifiTkiMritHfT4Ttnmti nm i Mimm 1 1 1 urn i li i i in tn i i i nu 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i fi i nn mi 1 1 i iiiiu SEtBg SSmmimirnilHIlTllTTTTIIIIM'IMIIII lmnwummimniimiiiimnmiiiTMi 1 Team Out of a Tight Place in Ninth Help the Poor Rich!

Kumagae's defeat probably marks the failure of his only chance to get Into the final of a major tournament In this country, this season.

Two years ago, "Nick" was track coach st that institution, but last year took a position as director of athletics at the University of the South, Sewanee.

John P. did well as a track mentor, but showed that he has either gone back or is In woeful condition as an athlete by his exhibition in the annual summer track and field games at Columbia, last week. "Nick" finished third in tha high hurdles, the winner being caught in 16 3-5 seconds. He also entered the high jump and again took third position.

Adams was the hero of the Detroit-Pittsburg series for the world's title in TJ09. As an almost untried twirler he won three games, foiling the Tigers' attempt to capture the world'B championship. "Babe" is not the last remaining player of that famous team now the game.

Chief Wilson and Jack Miller of the the Phillies' third baseman, and Catcher Gibson and Hans Wagner of the Pi rates are still playing in the major leagues. Adams has won only TWO games for the Pirates this year. Dreyfuss has some good twirlers and need not try to nurse the once great propeller back to form. Adams is still under 35 years of age and ought to have some good service In his wing. Last year, with a weak club, he won 14 and lost 14 games.

His best year was in 1909, when he won 12 and lost three games. In 1913 he won 21 games and lost 10, and two years before that his record was 1212.

FEATURE Kelley and Selmar Proved in Pre vious Bout to Be Rough-House Battlers. Resounding thumps and plenty of the old school fight stuff are looked for at the Future City Athletic Club tonight, where Leo Kelly of St. Louis will oppose Jack Selmar of Pittsburg in a 12-round contest. The bout is one substituted for the original feature between Bantamweights Harry Atwood and Jack Douglass, called oir when the former was summoned home by reported Illness in his family. Kelly Is one of the toughest bits of timber ever developed in this city.

At least he was, prior to a period of decline which set in some months ago. selmar nas appeared in on bout here. That was against his opponent of tonight, and the fight was a part of the program of the Coliseum show when Levinsky fought Tom Burke. The first Selmar-Kelly contest was a rough affair; very carelessly boxed with regard to tne rules. There is reason to expect that the additional four rounds of tonight's mill will maks their second meeting even rougher than their previous encounter.

The men meet at catch weights, which will mean pomewhere in the neighborhood of 145 pounds. Other bouts on tonight's card are: Happy Howard vs. Pete White, 6 rounds, 115 pounds. Mickey Kelly vs. Joe Murphy, 6 rounds, at 140 pounds.

Jimmy Macklin vs. Jimmy Sweeney, 4 rounds at 110 pounds. Kabakoff Willing to Wager. Leo Schneider, the Kaston avenue bantamweight, is confident of being able to defeat Harry Kabakoff In their 12-round bout at the Motordrome, Thursday night, but declined to make a wager at even money that he could turn the trick. When Schneider and Kabakoff signed for the match, each rosted a $50 forfeit for weight and appearance.

"I'll et my forfeit money ride for a bet on myself." said Kabby to Schneider. Schneider was unwilling to accept the wager at even money, as he believes that Kabby will be a favorite In the betting when they crawl through the ropes Thursday. I'll bet on myself, and a good chunk, too," said Schneider, "but it will be at ringside odds." The boys have agreed to make tl6 pounds at 3 o'clock on the day of tho bout. Murphy to Box Douglass.

The hitting of Pratt and Slsler was the biggest feature of yesterday's game. These men carry the punch.

If they hit the offensive will continue ad lib because the pitching is there and the defense Is tighter than a miser's purse strings. Marsans can be depended upon to do his share, although few hits will be needed if the infield and outfield continue to oppress the enemy by fielding feats such as we have seen for a week at Sportsman's Park. This is getting to be a typical Jones team, a tight, Intelligent club working behind a one-run margin. It's getting to that stage where given "a pitcher and a run, he winning a lot of games."

BOSTON, July 31. Miller Huggins and his squad of Cardinals have found the weather In this far eastern city of the National League, altogether too severe on them. Ninety-three degrees here, and a double-header on the tapis, was something even worse than the most torrid days of the home city. The players sweltered throughout oth conflicts, yesterday, and it wax regretted that Bob Steels, who twirled the final game, ran against a three-bagger in the eighth, after he actually stood the Braves on their heads.

Louis, eleari 6:80 iff Opposite Globe Democrat EARL. HAMTLTON pitched a pretty pert ball game yesterday for the Browns. even though he did get In trouble In the last round. And furthermore Hamilton has pitched good ball ever since he was returned by Detroit, after Jennings and Navin weakened on their proposition of buying Earl for $10,000. On July 12, Hamilton beat Boston, 2 1.

On July 19 ho lost a tough gams to New York. 6 4. On July 87 hs defeated the Athletics 8 whlis yesterday's victory accrues to him, 4 2 He has won three out of his last four games and looks better with each out. Detroit needs pitchers badly and their refusal to retain Hamilton rna go down In history as one pf ths famous "barrys" pulled by the Junra-leers. this season.
