L_— 4 Today's Sports Parade By JACK CUDDY (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) New York. July 13. —tl'Pl Luke Sewell's "mystery team” of St. Mm!* Browns resumes its pennant campaign today, utmost monopolizing the baseball spotlight. Rarely hae any club commanded such attention at this stage of the race. I'nusual Interest Is focused upon it because: <l* the Browns are the surprise leadere of the Am I erlcan league; (3) their consist -I ency, us compared with rival clubs, ■ won the lads from St. Loo new re-1 sped during the first half of the season. However, many expert* and fans still regard them as a question! mark that inay not Im- able to fight j off a menacing challenge should any of their rivals suddenly stage a winning splurge. The Browns' lead Is small and the race I* tight, the margin from top to bottom being only nine games, and their span over the second place Boston Red Sox Is but a scant two and a half games. Meanwhile, their city rivals, the St la.uls Cardinals, boast a 10*4 game lead tn the National league.l a fact which add* interest to the Browns' campaign because of the possibility of an Intra-city series. The pre-season odds were against the Brown* winning the iwnnant for two reaMotis: (1) They have never copped the American league flag, and (2> they were a sixth place club last year. On the other hand, the Brown* have had an uphill fight thus far during the campaign and have man i aged to rise to most occasions to fight off blds to unseat them at the top of the circuit. Since opening day. April 18. St. Louis ha* been out of first place only 17 days and has been at the top steadily UTnce June 2. The Browns never have been below third. With 79 game* already in th ebooks, they have won

I 45 and lost 34 for a percentage of I j .570 — not a remarkable or even good record on the basis of other years- but currently it's the best i in the loop and that's what they > pay off on. The schedule also favors St. Ismis. So far this season the' Brownies have displayed a decided j preference for their own park, winning a greater percentage of home ' Kame* than they have won on the! road. Os the 75 games left to play. St. Loui* is scheduled for 44 in ' Sportsman* Park. Moreover, they i conclude the season with a 17-game I home stand, a real break and one i they probably will need if they are ! to capture their first pennant. Sewell's surprises have shown no signs of coming apart at the seains. After a record breaking start in i which they captured nine successive games, the Browns have maintained a splendid fighting spirit that undoubtedly has won games for them. They have bounced back from a four or five game losing I string to win an equal number and! balance the budget. The pitching staff iNiasts no outstanding perf6rmers but is composed of a bunch of hard working guys who bear down on every ! pitch. The Infield probably is the best In the league and the outfield has proved capable. Sewell makes no predictions regarding the club’s chances but in reply to a query as to whether the Browns were going to win the pennan'. he said: “Who's goiny to heat u*7" It's a moot question. p. — Polio Cases Mount In North Carolina Raleigh.
