After paying what was believed to have been an exorbitant price, they turned over another bank roll to Bill Donovan and the scout-ing staff wtih orders to "go the lim A 1 i 1 i Roderick John "Bob" Wallace, former shortstop and manager of the Browns, today signed a contract with the St. Louis club and will (serve in the role of utility inflelder for the remainder of the season. It was generally understood that Wallace was still a member of Ban Johnson's American League staff of umpires, but with the announcement of his signing with the Browns, also came the Information that several weeks ago Wallace was discontinued as an arbiter. For the last ten days, Wallace has been working out each morning with the Brown players.

Although not active as a player since the spring of 1915, he has not taken on any surplus flesh and his play In the morning practice convinced Manager Fielder Jones that Wallace might be of some aid to his club. Ernie Johnson, one of the Browns' shortstops, was injured in the first game of Sunday's double-header and according to a physician who treated him, the Swede will not be able to put on a uniform for three weeks. Johnson strained a nerve in his neck. While Wallace may not appear in the lineup, he was signed to guard against injury or illness to Jim Austin, Johnny Lavan and Del Pratt.

In 1911, Wallace assumed the management of the Browns, succeeding Jack O'Connor and led the Sportsman's team until June of the following year when George Htovall replaced him. Wallace continued as a player, however, until about May, 1915. He made the spring training trip in 1915, but when Johnny Lavan proved his ability to succeed the once wonderful Scot, Wallace drew his release. Plans had been made for him to take a position as umpire on the American League staff. On July 17, last year, when he made his first appearance in St.

Louis as an umpire, his friends here arranged a "Wallace Day." Friends and fans presented a handsome gold watch and chain to the former shortstop, while his former fellow players gave him a silver set. Wallace was the American League umpire in the spring series between the Browns and Cardinals this year, but hasn't officiated In a championship game.

Fred Josties and Ted Drewes won their first championship cup yester dav flfttrnnnn Billy Manhardt and' Gene Meyers, 6 6 6 1. The title which accompanied the victory was the O'Fallon Park doubles championship and the right to play in the elimination matches for the Munici-pay title. The lads who tumbled Jones and lloerr from their exalted perch earlier in the season, played like such champions yesterday and rubbed their opponents completely off the slate. Giving the runners up only four games in three sets is no mean feat. The defeated pair started off well by grabbing the first game of the first set, but that's all the further thev did ret.

Jostip and Drewes ran right down the line, taking six straight games. The sec- ond opened like the first, with Man- hardt winning the first game and the second as well. They halted and saw their opponents catch them and pass them up Just like old shoes. The third set was 1 up and then a walk away. Another Doubles Title.
