BROWNS ONLY MAJOR CLUB WITHOUT A FLAG Browns, purchased by a group of St Louisiana from the Phil Ball estate, is the only club in either major baseball league which has never won a pennant. It almost won in 1922. That year the team, managed by Lee Fohl, finished one game behind the pennant winning Yankees.

St Louis entered the American league, in 1902. Henry Killl-lea of Milwaukee was then president of the club, but Ralph L. Orthwein took control in 1903. In 1904 Robert Lee Hedges bought the franchise, and was president until Phil Ball bought the club in the winter of '15-16.

Credited with one of the best managerial performances In the majors as he jockeyed hla bargain counter Senators into fourth place this year, less than a half game behind the runnerup Detroit Tigers, Harris shied away from a forecast for 1937.

Coach Pop Klein is anything but cheerful as he prepares his Kearney State Antelopes for their invasion of Mc-Pherson, Friday night. Each team has won five games and lost two, but McPherson is in better physical and mental condition. Game Capt Norman Harris, John Marrow, Dick Hale, Ben Taylor, Glen Bartunek and Joe Elliott are In poor physical condition, and may not be able to play their best brands of ball, while several players are threatened with ineligibility. Overconfidence following their lopsided victory over Regis also may hamper the Kearney gridders.

McPherson has exceptional running backs in Harold Zuhars, 10 second sprinter, and Lee Haun, a shifty hipped senior; while Mike Vasquez and Clayton Rock are among the finest linemen playing college ball in Kansas. nut in IINClAlt.llO'OIAMI MO ORAM WOW 9:30 (C.8.T.)

Arriving in New York with cash assets of about $17, the first thing ha did was to buy a $4.40 seat for the Zieefeld Follies. It was a cold winter, too. He began haunting the newspaper offices but it was not until he had wornea as a sud-' wav sruard. a sandwich cutter and any number of other odd jobs that he finally landed with the United Press in 1930.

"I've taken more punishment than I did in my sop year, and Solem has been screaming at me.

He doesnt scream at the other boys that way." Simmons said "all the boys" have co-operated with him, and "I believe they have done their best all season." "I guess we are both at fault, but I will not go back and apologize," he said. "Both Solem and mvself are to Droud."

Football to Johnny is more man game. It's an obsession. He hasn't missed an Ohio State game at home or abroad since 1918 when he gained such a reputation as cheer leader at East high that the Buckeyes Invited him to be a guest shouter. And Johnny's been marching and yelling for the glory of the Scarlet ever since. Johnny's got a room fun oi iooi-ball relics but his most priaed pos session is a numeral 7 stolen irom the Illinois scoreboard in 1920 at the cost of two black eyes and numerous bumps and bruises.

That was the year Ohio State defeated powerful Illinois at Urttena, to 0. Immediately after the game, 135 pound Johnny battled his way to the top of the score board and swiped the numeral.

Hager, a traveling salesman, came west in '96 and since that time, informs John Bentley of the Nebraska State Journal, has missed but 14 Nebraska games. Hager, says Bentley, arranged his trips in the fall to permit him to stop wherever the Huskers happen to be playing. He declines to name the out standing Nebraska player he has seen in 40 years of watching the Cornhuskers rise from a football pushover to a gridiron power, btu the first in a list that comes to his mind is the late Johnny Bender, one of the most elusive backs Nebraska ever had.

IOWA CITY, la. (UP); Oze Simmons, swtvel-hipped Negro fullback, Thursday withdrew his second "resignation" from the University of Iowa football team. Simmons, frequently hailed as a "one man team" to the dissatisfac tion of other players, agreed to forget his quarrel with Coac i Ossie Solem and report ror practice as usual. "I knoW weH get along fine now." Simmons said alter a mid night conference with Solem and M. UpdegraH, chairman or tne board of athletics.
