World Results ¥ t 4 three-game series which is scheduled to begin here today lead of half a game, meet the owns in the final contests of the son. Many years have passed since the tons showed such interest in baseball here, ag the Browns have a chance of winning their first pennant since Late last night fans began to gather in front of the park, many with fold- « seats and camp chairs. Nearly a thousand fans had taken up seats on the sidewalk before dawn. The entire lower deck of the grand- nd has been reserved for the three es while only general admissions 1 be given to the upper deck, the pavilion and the b’-achers. Scalpers, it has been report.d w.te profiteering the advance Jickets) «nd tickets which had been sold by the manage- nt at $1.26 and $1.50 were being. (fered for sale by scalpers at $15. Temporary bax seats have been erected between the grandstand and the povillon back of the third base ne, adding more than 1,000 to the park's capacity. It is expected that 00,000 fans will seo the three games. The largest previous crowd witnessed a game between the Cardinals and trowns in the last city spring series, en 29,500 persons passed through the turnstiles. If the Brewns take two games they will have a half game margin on the Yankees while the latter would leave he city with a game and a half leac n the “event they take two of the hree games. Upon Urban Shocker, spitball pitch- er apd the Browns leading hurler, protubly will fall the burden of pitch- ng the first game it the heavy siuggers of New York, while Hubert Pruett, former Missouri university estar southpaw, who has the habit of striking out Babe Ruth ana othe- heavy hitters of the Ysakees, will work in another game. Although jfanager Fohl has not decided which one of these two to send to the mcund in the first game, he made kno that they would start the first two gumes. As for the pitching assignment for the third game, Fob] had not made any definite plans. Whether George Sisler who was injured in last Monday's game would pe in the lineup was « question still ‘undecided just before game time. He was anxious to get into the crucia? series, despite the physiclans’ advice to the contrary. Manager Huggins on the other hand brought to the city = lineup which had proved its pennaat claims in the last two weeks. As to pitching talent, Huggins had Bush, Shawkey, Mays, Jon» and Hoyt to send to the hill. In addition, he had some of the lead- ing hitters of the league to face the Brown's pitching staff. Ruth versus Williams, last year’s home run king and this year’s pre mier four basa slugger will furnish another feature during this series. While, Willams is sharing honors with Rogers Hornsby of the Cardin- als, each having 37, Ruth is trailing the two by five home runs. fie Set BER Is .

Just a ittle over a montn ago Tier- ney launched his drive for batting honors, but it was thought this was only a flash in the pan. However he has been improving his average each week and the latest figures which in- clude games of Wednesday show him hitting .280 compared with .345 four weeks ago. In his last six games ‘Tierney has made 11 hits which added four points to his mark of a week ago. Tierney has bagged 211 hits in 104 games, ‘ls drives including 24 doubles, 13 triples and 7 homers. Max Carey of the Pirates has in- creased his lead in’ stolen bases to 42 and his record of runs scored to 124. ‘Hornsby, however, ts leading the regulars with an average of .397 and has increased his home run string eo 37. ‘The Pirates in the race to overtake the Giants are out in front in team batting with an average of 811. The Giants are hitting .308, while the Car- dinals are third with .303. Other leading batters for 100 or more games: -Grimes, Chicago, .353; Bigbee, Pittsburgh, .350; Miller, Chi- cago, .349; Hollocher, Chicago, .345; Daubert. Cincinnati, .343; Harper, league tucked in his hip pocket, today has cause to worry over the prospects of bagging the 1922 honors. Jimmy Tierney, the Pirate star second baseman, has been to win the American league pennant. The Browns were going strong in the sizzling race‘for the flag but the unfortunate injury to the St. Louis phenom has thrown a wrench into the workings of tho team. If Sisler is not able to get back in ihe yame his batting average of .424 appéars to be high enough to insure his position as leading hitter for the 1922 season. His closest rival, Ty Cobb, is, 21 points behind and the chances of his catching up are re- mote. Cobb's average is .393. Sisler has the edge for stolen base honors with 47, with Ken “Williams, a team- mate lagging along with 33. The race of Babe Ruth to overtake Williams and Tillle Walker of the Athletics for the home run honors is becoming more exciting, Walker smashed out threo during the past Week and run his string to 35, while Williams begged two for a total of 37 and the Babe crashed out three for @ total of 32.
