BROWNS APPEAR TO BE DIFFERENT BALL CLUB Manager Dan Howley Injects New Spirit Into St. Louis Team —Promises to Set Fast Pace.

By Billy Evans American League Umpire and NEA Service, Sports Expert TARPON SPRINGS, Fla., March 11.—The St. Louis Browns, training here, are going to be a much improved baseball machine over the 1926 model. You ask why, as you remind me it is much the same team that failed so dismally last season. True! It is much the same team, but you would never recognize them as the athletes go through their spring training to fit themselves for the long grind. As I watched Manager Howley—they call him “Howling Dan,” and I might add that his voice is already in mid .season foijm—put h:A players over the jumps for two hours, three things impressed me most forcibly. First, the spirit of the club. Nol in years have I seen a Brownie team sli.ow so much interest in its work. Every player on the field seemed to be taking his task seriously, intent upon fitting himself to win a regular berth. In Fine Condition Second, the fine condition of the team for’ so early in the year. It seemed the players realized the new manager must be shown and, with that in mind, only one or two reported overweight. Third, the fact that Howley ap pears to have added considerable strength to his lineup through the acquisition of several veterans of known ability and a. number of mighty promising recruits. Dan Howley, who Is to lead the Browns this year as the successor of the popular George Sisler, is a hustler himself and fairly exudes the old fighting spirit. He insists hi£ players show the same stuff. Last year he won a pennant for Toronto, dethroning Jack Dunn at Baltmiore, after Dunn had reigned supreme for seven consecutive years. He followed'’ this by defeating Louisville, champions of the American Association, in five straight games. The Toronto club of 1926 was a colorful, hustling aggregation that produced results. Howley intends that the Browns of this year have color as well as hustle. He insists those two assets invariably bring winning results. Sisler on First It strikes me that his infield will be made up of Sisler at first, Melillo at second, Gerber at short and Mullen at third. In reserve he lias Frank O'Rourke, a great defensive player and one of the smartest in the majors. He also has Shortstop Otis Miller, of Toronto. Sisler and Gerber are regulars of last year. Melillo, who played every position in the infield except first, will be used at his regular position, second. Mullen, who had a brief trial with the Detroit Tigers last spring, will play third. He had a big year at Toronto under Howley. In addition to his holdover outfielders of last season, Harry Rice, Bennett, Ken Williams and Bing Miller, Howley has the highly-touted Fred Schulte. Schulte is a big husky fellow,' built along the lines of Harry Hellmann, except that he is perhaps twenty pounds lighter. He hits right-handed and takes a mean cut at the ball. In the field he is surprisingly fast, a fine performer. It will be mighty hard to keep this young man out of the lineup. The pitching will be much the same, plus Sam Jones, veteran star from the New York Yankees, and Walter Stewart, a snappy looking and acting left-hander, another Howley protege from Toronto. The veteran Steve O’Neill is the

only addition to the catching department. His experience and ability should help the Browns. Much the same material, I admit, but anew model that promises to hit on all eight and set a fast pace.

BAMBINO IS INJURED Bu United Press ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., March 11.—Babe Ruth’s injury, while not serious enough to keep him out of the game for more than three or four days, is causing concern to the paying party of his $210,000 contract. In his first real effort of the season Thursday at Orlando the Babe broke too quickly for first base and picked up a nice charley-horse and a slight back sprain. The Yankee officials haven’t a horror af charley-horses. but In the case of the Babe they look upon the Injury as an Indication that his legs are not any sounder than they have been in recent years, and he always has had trouble with his locomotive apparatus. "There’s no use to get worried about this thing,” the Babe said. “Most any ball player can pull up with a charley-horse in training camp. I’ll be all right In a few days.” WALTER ALSO OUT Bu United Press WASHINGTON, March 11.—The Captital today mourned the prospective loss of an annual Rite-Waiter
