ST. LOUIS BROWNS
LOOK DANGEROUS,
SAYS FULLERTON
May Be Toughest Aggregation
in Loop for Boston, Chicago
and New York; Strong
Lineup on Paper.
By HUGH S. FULLERTON.
St. Louis Browns (please don't
laugh) this year threaten to be one
of the touehest nrooc&itions in the
leaguea team that is hable to come
strong, upset the calculations of Bos
ton, Chicago and New York and mess
up the whole league standing.
Just how strong this team will
"dope" when, we get to actual figures
is a problem, but, i. it looks as strong
then as it does now, we are going to
have a big X to figure: in the algebra
of the American league.
First, the Browns last season were
a much stronger team thah they
proved to be on the ball field.
second, the Browns are stronger
in the vital departments now than
they were a year ago.
Third, the big problem of the team
(internal dissension) seems solved.
When one figures the Browns, it is
necessary to know conditions. Last
spring the team, formed half and half
of American league and Federal
leaeue stars, looked strong. Jones
is undoubtedly the best manager of,
his kind in the world, the most scien
tific run getter and one of the great
field generals. But Jones failed be
cause he could not weld the two ele
ments into one team. From the start
there were cliques. The Federal and
American league players refused to
associate with each other. Often they
refused to room together, even to
ride in the same sleeping cars. Jeal
ousies and ill feeling resulted. Many
of the high-class fellows became dis
gusted. The owner got mad and said
things that made players sore; they
sued him and general trouble resulted.
On top of this, the pitching staff, the
weakest department on the team, was
shot all to pieces. Earl Hamilton,
who was a star, exploded and went
to the minors. Carl Weilman, one
of the best pitchers in the league,
became ill, was operated on and a
kidney was removed, ruining him as
a pitcher and ending his base ball
career. Eddie Plank, the veteran,
racked his body so badly in a 14-in-ning
game against Washington that
he could not pitch again last season,
if he ever can. Pratt and Lavan, hav
ing sued Owner Ball, practically were
6ut of it, and Jacobson and Sloan en
listed. , The team, which figured to be well
up in the race, had a hard time keep
ing out of the last position.
Will Be Great Machine
Durfhg this winter the team has
been rebuilt, the factional trouble
appears to have been eliminated, an i
it looks like a great anda coming ball
club,
Severoid, Nunamaker and Hale a
corking trio of catchersmake that
department ttrong. The infield prob
ably will be Sisler, Gedeon, or Johns,
Gerber and Maisel, with Austin,
Magee and Ernie Johnson in the re
serves. Johns may be disposed of
before this is printed, as Salt Lake
wants him and the team owes Salt
Lake players. .
The outfield does not look as
stroiiir as it ought to be for a team
with peniwt aspirations and first
division hopts. John Tobin comes
back from Salt Lake; Demmett. who
has been m and out; Earl Smith,
wlio was bought from Omaha, and
Kenneth-Williams, purchased from
Portland, yviU fill in the jobs.
There is a lot of punch in that

quartet, and Ray Demmett is touted
as being much improved.
The trades of the winter have
been aimed at strengthening the
pitching department. The success
of these trades remains in doubt,
but m the Browns certainly have
strengthened that department with
out great loss to the infield. Having
Pratt and Lavan to dispose of, they
had little trouble in picking the men
they wanted and from Jones' selec
tions it is evident that he was choos
ing pitchers to beat Chicago and
New York. There was one bit of
tough luck: Ernie Koob, the cork
ing little ieft-hander, probably will
not be with the team. He is trying
for the aviation service, and is of
draft age and in the first call.
Shocker and Cullop, secured from
New York, Loudermilk, the long
string beau who has promised so
much and done so little, comes back
from Columbus, and with Sotheron,
Rogers and Davenport, will form the
first line of defense. Gallia, secured
from Washington in the Lavan deal,
may help. There is a fellow named
Houck, dralted from the Coast
league, who is highly touted,, and
Wright and Molyneaux, two college
pitchers' who were tried out by the
Browns last fallmay be of some as
sistance. Leifield Back Again.
Let us not forget either that Lefty
Leifield is with us once more due to
stage a comeback. Lefty is a vet
eran, but onef the wisest old heads
in the business. He was supposed to
be all through, but he went into the
association and, even in that "two
league" (meaning two games per
day), he pitched excellent ball and
showed a lot of stuff he was sup
posed to have lost. He will pot be
able to pitch a great number of
games, but he will win a number, and
he will be of immense help in two
ways in assisting Jones with the
younger pitchers and in helping to
maintain the harmony on the team.
Leifield is a good man to have on a
tean for the 'good influence he will
exert and for his wide experience.
The team must develop additional
pitching strength if it expects con
sistent winning and Jones must, with
that pitching staff, average' more runs
per game than his team seems capa
ble of doing. Jones is a-scientific
run getter a . "one run at a time"
manager and his teams usually make
more runs per hit than any rival.
With airtight pitching, Jones could
hold the Browns up in the race all
the way by such tactics, but he does
not appear to have the airtight pitch
ers. Shocker is noted for his ability
to beat, Cleveland and so is Gallia,
whose specialty with Washington was
to beat the Ohio outfit. Koob was
the one man on Jones' staff who ap
peared to have something on the
White Sox. Htf troubled the cham
pions a lot last year and probably
will again. Davenpoct is a glutton
for work and really a top pitcher.
The team did not score runs enough
back of him last season to win many
and he scattered his victories.
The promise lies in Cullop. This
fellow really ought to be a great
pitcher yet he wasn't with the Yan
kees. There are reports that he was
nor skillfully handled there and, in
fact, the Yank pitchers all complained
of Donovan's system of working
pitchers.
That is the team a team that ought
to average close to three runs a game
on his hitting and base running and
which does not. at present, figure to
hold the opposing teams below three
and a quarter runs a game. It 4s
plainly up to Jones either to make
his defense stronger or to change
methods and send his team out after
runs in bunches instead of playing
the qne-at-a-time game.
In the next we'll take up a couple
of the less threatening teams.
