Sprr.at Despatch to Tim Xnv Vosk Hmsai.P. I
Sr. Louts, Mo., April 9.?I can see j
nothing lower than third place for the
Browns this season. And If any four or
my pitchers chow regular winning form
we'll sive any club in the league a
ijrand battle for the pennant. Cleve
land and Xew York are rated ahead of
us by the average fan arid expert. lr
ihcy are, they'll have a chance to prove
the same In the near future.
My team is well conditioned for a
mood start. On the training trip we
never missed a day's practice, and were
'ortuna:e enou.il: to run into good spring
weather in St. Louis, which has brought
added strength to the athletes. I have |
a recruit at second )n Bill Gleason who
will bear watching If he holds up that !
station while Karl f- nlth conies through '
at third base thf- Browns will need only
pitching to give them all a battle. Our
hitting ebility has bsen proved times
over. We have speed and a good de
fence ro ji'St give us the Ditching and
we'll be web fortifl?<l to mix crcdltably
with the cil.* of the league.
The Brt.wrs will take the fle'd opening
day. barring mishaps. In the following
manner: Uerber, ?s. ; Gles.son, 2b.:
