There was more tension than grass in the park as Walters wound up for tho next players and fans watched the pitch boom past then every eye shifted to the ball foul-: went slowly down to first.

Inevitably Leahy gets around to discussing the defeat Irish suffered, at the hands of Great Lakes last season: Says Leahy: was a tough one to lose, yet as I look back on it, I realize it was for the best.

15 CHURCH ST. TKL. 21574 The recent, downfall of ihc St. Louis Browns has caused n.larm- ist-s 10 seek frnniieally Uic I'easoa lor the downward trend. It is only too true that wo have been highly elated over ihe progress of ihc tirownies, and looked forward to the first pennant the club could claim in modern b.iscbal! bisto'ry.

But the recent slip has not caused us nny alarm, iilthough we will admit a. bit of disappointment. We have become, Ihrouph the years, quite accustomed to -ups and downs that the St. Louis 'Americans experience. So this is just another little "down" that we hope live through.

Red Hermans, who lalcly cannot put up with us, and has been giving us the ice-cold treatment, taunted us with the statement thai. Die "has-beens" arc returning to l.hc has-been-world, and that Yankee power is ajrain asserting il- sulf, and will RO on to win the eighth flag in the last nine 1 "That is something," the red- hcaa said, "with only the Detroit Tigers spoiling a record that probably forever. Imagine winning nine pennants in a row." "Yes," we said, "that would be some record. But if, my dear rcd- ncuued Inond, you will recall the closing days of. the '-10 season, it was a doublcheader in St.

Louis that the Ya.nlts lost which eventually gave the Tigers the flag." "How well do 1 remember that," Red Hermans said sadly. "We personally arc not fearful at. all concerning Uie outcome of the race this year. We feel that the Browns will come buck again, strong as ever. The Yanks close their season in St.

Loo with a four game scries. A clean sweep will put the Browns righl on top of the league, if they aren't there by that time, anyway." "Kow do you account for their slump?" the person with hair the color of a Naugntuclt Fire Dcpart- menl. truck asked. "Wo figure that these so-called has-beens have been playing 'way over their heads for the major part of the season, and they are entitled to ,1 let-down," we offered. 'Look at the games Ihoy blew in the post two weeks.

They can't do it all the time. They urc bound to win. This year, if any, the law of averages is completely with them. Thai- is what we pin our hopes law of averages." "Amen, Amen." the redhead said, and left us, for good, in search of better, greener fields. It was swell knowing Red (By United Moj-t Cooper and Bucky Walters both pitched their 20th victories of tho National league season the St.

Walker Cooper homered for the Cards in the first inning and Litwhiler added another homer in the ninth, driving.in the runs. Walters' win was his sixth in six starts against the Cards this year. Cincinnati two runs against Laniur in the first, one jn the second and another in the eighth, to down the Cards 4 to 0 the second game.

There wore no other games scheduled in the National league. The Detroit Tigers moved up on the idle St. Louis Browns And the New York Yankees by defeating the Chicago White Sox to 0.
