By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sporting Editor. NEW YORK, March 16.—The §St. Jouis Browns have had ups and downs—mostly downs--since the or ganization of the American league At times they have bloomed forth in earlv season looking and acting jike world beaters. Thev have played their part in upsetting the pennant hopes of a number of clubs in sea gons _gone by, but they have yet to annex a championship pennant. # St. louis fans have heen longing to see the Browns come into their own for many vears., This spring they are watching the proteges of Manager Jimmy Burke in a more hopeful mood, and not without reason. A lang and critical slant at the Browns from an early trainmg sea son angle leaves the impression that they will bear close watching next summer. Jimmy Burke's strong -st rivals in the American League admit that he has a sweet-looking ball club. This should be enough to convince the average fan that the Browns huve reason to look ahead to the coming campaign with a good deal of optimism. 1 FOUR 300 HITTERS. Numbered among the plavers who are working the winter kinks out of arms and ‘legs at the Brown's training camp, Tavlor. Texas, are several ball plavers who could not be separated from Jimmy Burke for love nor money. For one thirg Burke has a quartet of .200 hitters In his line-up, and several other members of the team may hit their stride with the bat this year and enter the se lect set. ‘ George Rigler, the best first bhase man in either mafjor league, and a 352 hitter last season, is the out standing star of the Burke machine. Johnny Tobin, who hit ,§27: “Baby Doll” Jacobson, who ha)nmerod the sphere for an average of 323, and Kenneth Willlams, who hit an even 300 are all stickers of the first water, Karl Bmith, another outfielder, and Joe Gedeon are batsmen of promise, and, like all other major league clubs, the Browns are trving out a handfil of youngsters in the hope of uncov ering some more good batsmen. The Bt. Louis outfield, with Tobin, Jacobson and Earl Bmith or Williams cavorting in the gardens, is one of the best in the American League. It| has hitting ability and it has speed. And the Brownie outfielders can hold their own in the mattey of collecting skyscrapers and line drives. The infield will be bullt with &is ler on first; Joe Gedeon at second; Gierber at short, and Jimmy Austin, the “youthful-spirited” wveteran, or one of three recruit third basemen, at the hot corner, Joe Schepner, from Mobile; Frank Thompson, from Jop lin, and Bill Dudley, a Denver semi pro, are the players seeking old Jimmy's spurs. Johnny Shovlin, from C‘olumbus, and Gene Robertson, a St lL.ouis amateur, will fight for the util ity job, while Walter Strong, a semii pro from Minneapolis, who has been playing first base, will probably try out for some other =osition in face of the fact that George Sisler is h..nwn‘ around. NEWCOMER WINS PLACE. The catching department will be headed by Hank Severeid, a .250 hit ter, with Josh Billings acting as the second-string catcher, Pat Collins, newcomer from Joplin, is =aid to have already won a place on the (-au;hmg staff. The pitchers whe will be depended on to bear the brunt of the box work are Allan Sothoron, Urban, Shocer, Bert Gallia, Carl Welilman, “Lefty" Laeifield, the “comeback,” and Frank Davis from Indianapolis, who 1= touted as a sure-fire future star, In addition to ithese hurlers, the Browns mjve Ray Richmond KEarl Van Gilder, 1 Burwell, Horace Leverett, Harry Rush and Harry Schneider, right handers, and Rolla Maple and Bill Bavne, Southern recruits. Burke's biggest problem will be settling the question at third base. The veteran Austin probably will set tle it for him. Jimmy wrote to Burke gvv to reporting that he never felt ter and defied all comers to take his job. If he shows any of his old time ginger, well and good. Other wise, Burke will have to try his va rious recruits out earefully or engi neer a deal for a third-sacker, al though Shovlin, from the Columbus club, can play that position. The Browns will play exhibition mnu in the Lone Star State up to roh 21, when they are siated to wind up their Texas schedule at San Antonio and start North for their spring series with the Cards, which begins April 3. The Browns and Oards will play six games, The Texas schedulé of the Brownies follows: March 6 and 7, at Fort Worth; 10 and 11, at Taylor, vs. San Antonio; 13 and 14, at Houston, va. Houston; 17 and 18, at Taylor, vs. Fort Worth, and 80 and 21, at San Antonio. . . Industrial Association .

The weather was a big drawback to the game, and at the end of the sixth inning it became so chilly that play was discontinued. Jesse Young, the young Camp Gor don hurler, starred. He gave up only two hits in the six i{nnings, and none of the opposing players reached sec ond base. His bat brought in two of the five runs. Kearny of the Camp Gordon team also was in the lime light. He scored one run and brought in two more with a two-base clout. Brown, who hurled for McPherson, { had hard luck. He fanned nine men and ‘'walked three. Both teams played a good game, jand the form of the players at this stage of the season is very ecours= aging to the coaches of both teams. Fort McPherson will play a return game at Camp Gordon next Sunday. - .

By W. E. GEORGE. The annual cross country run that has for years been one of the biggest athletic features of spring sports at Georgih Tech wiil be held next Sat urday afternoon=at 2:30. This an nouncement brings hack memories of the many exciting races of the past of this kind and is sure to be of interest to scores of the local sport colony. The race is over the historic course from Grant Field to the waterworks out t 7, the northwest of the park and, of course a return on the same trail. The distance covered is slightly over three and one-half mi.es, but trav erses so many ravines, hills, jungles and terraces that the nmbitious as pirants invariably swear that they have to cover anywhere from five to ten miles of the rugged way. The c¢ross country wiil be run un der the supervision of the Kosema Society of the college and it is to this society that a large share of the credit. for the successes of the bygone yeals must be given. The men are lined up across Grant Field, facing north, in a line that usually stretches from the stadium to the far side of the cinder track. At th 2 crack of the gun the two or three hundred entrants ad- . vance at some considerable speed in srder to gain the vantage Jof uass ing through the singie, narrow exit on. the north side of the field, somewhere among the 500. Once through, they hasten to the aforesaid waterworks, where their entrance tags are punched, their time of arrival being recorded. On their return twenty odd minutes later they come back through the same gate and down a narrow lane to the end of the long, long trail. Many a man has won a better place in the contests by a burst of speed that carried him to the entrance of this lane ahcad of some of his fellow collegians. , At just one-half hour after the J#- ing of the gun the gates are locked and the weary, wayworn travelers that arrive tardily are refused admit tance. Numbered amcng those who completad the route last year in the given time were 170 men.
