SPORTS. BROWNS SMOTHER GRIFFS , TO GAIN LEAD IN LEAGUE Williams Gets Sixteenth as His Team Hammers Out Eighteen Hits for Thirty-three Bases in Game Ending by 15 to 2. BY DENMAN in dropping their third straight wrested the league leadership S THOMPSON. T. LOUIS, June 17—The Nationals not only were swamped, 15 to 2, game to the Browns, who thereby from the Yanks as the Griffmen slumped into sixth place, but face the prospect of entering the final fray with Fohl's flock today minus two of their recently reinstated regulars through recurrence of injuries that h before the current series opened.

The story of yesterday's defeat may be summed up in the fact that the Browns exactly doubled the nine hits the visitors got off Vangilder, while they gained more than twice as many total bases, their two homers, three- triples and a trio of doubles, in addi- tion 1o ten singles off the combined efforts of Zachary, Turk, Youngblood and Phillips, aggregating thirt three sacks. In addition, the home talent benefited by seven passes, a hit batsman and an error in inflicts ing the second worst defeat suffered by the Washingtonians this season.

B rwer was left after getting a Texae league double with one down in the fourth, and in the following frame, the first in which they failed 1o register a safety, the Griffs failed 1o Improve on their best opportunity for some runs. Gharrity and Milan walked, with Turk whiffing in be- tween, ' and Harris' bunt advanced them, but they were left when Rice's liner traveled straight into waiting paws of Gerber. Browns Land on Turk. The Browns gave Turk no trouble in the fourth, but provided plenty the hext round, when he was pounded off the hill, 2 pass and four hits net- fing as many runs and bringing in Albert Youngblood for his first big Jeague appearance. Before the In- dlan could retire the side another Fohllan run materialized. making their total for the round, five. Turk first walked Gerber and after sisler popped McManus singled to center and reached second on Rice's poor throw to third. Gerber scored on Jacobson’s single to Peck. who atopred the ball, but fell in a twisted Teap and could not throw. Willlams Jined against the barrier in right, scoring McManus and being held to one base. Two runs accrued from Severcid's double to right center. Tere Turk, was given the gate and Teck retired in favor of La Motte. Youngblood would have gotten El- Jerbe, the first man to face him, but for Shanks’' low throw of his roller. Ja Motte then got under Vangilder's fiy in short left, but the ball filtered through his mitts and the bases were Joaded. Youngblood forced in a run v passing Tobin and the round ended when Gerber hit into a double play. Brower's Double Neta Run. Washington's first tally material- s7ed in the sixth, when Brower's dou- hle to left came ahead of Shanks' monosack to the same sector. La Motte's tap resulted in a double de- mise. Younzblood got through the sixth in good shape, despite issuing a pair of passes, but was nicked for a coun- ter in the seventh when Tobin tripled to left center and Gerber looped o single over Shanks' head. Singles by Sisler and McManus, Willlams' triple, two walks, a hit batsman and a sacrifice gave the Browns three runs and marked the retirement of Youngblood in the eighth. Tobin greeted Phillips with A single that registered another marker before Shanks got Gerber's liner to retire the side.

The fact that he probably will be opposed by the sensational young southpaw, Hubert Schuchmeister Pruett, is not particu- larly cheering. 4 in 1 23 innings Zachary had captured five straight games until he met the Browns yes- terday. There are no alibis for his downfall, as Jezebel was cuffed un- mercifully. The Browns uncovered two homers, a triple and a pair of singles in the third, when Zach made his departure. In only ome contest this season have the Nationals absorbed a more em- phatic licking than that of yesterday. This was inflicted on them by the Mackmen in Washington in the sixth game of the campaign, when Johnson, Francis, McGrew and Courtney were lambasted in a 17-to-2 affair. There are no strings attached to Joe Gleason, his sale to the Columbus Club_ of the American Association, run by our old friend, “Pants” Row- land, being outright. Rice twice was robbed of hits by Gerber. The shortstopper froze to Sam's hot smash in the fifth with Griffs on third and second, and in the eighth made a leaping backhand stab of a potential triple. Ken Williams contrives to keep just one step ahead of his fellow town man, Rogers Hornsby, in the race for the home-run leadership of the ma. jors. The Cardinals’ star got his fif- teenth circult swat yesterday, when the Browns recorded his sixteenth. Youngblood le a creditable show- ing in his first appearance in a major league battle. The Browns were on a hitting rampage, with first place in sight, vesterday, and it is doubtful if any hurler could have stopped them. The Indian's exhibition entitles him to a thorough trial.

WILL You TAKE A PRUETT HAS FADEAWAY THAT EXCELS MATTY’S ST. LOUIS. Mo, June. 17.—Her- bert “Shucks” Pruett, twenty-one- year ol University of Missouri pitcher for the St. Louis Browns, possesses the fhmous “fadeaway” ball that made Christy Mathewson the worl Kreatest pitcher, ac- cording to Lee Fohl, manager of the Hrowns. ger Fohl sald he belleved that Pruett’s “fade: y” meemed superior to that of the “old mas- ter,” because “Shucks” throws with his left hand, which gives the ball a peculiar reverse twist. [ TYGERS HAMMER HOYT; DRIVE YANKS FROM TOP Ousted unceremoniously from the lead they have held since the early days_of the American League race, the Yankees today were in_second place, truiling the speedy Browns. St. Louls had a margin of a half game at the top as a result of their crush- ing defeat of Washington, while D troit greeted Waite Hoyt with a fusil- lade of hits and humbled the Yankees, 9 to 4, for the third straight time. The Tygers, incidentally, who are playing flashy -ball under Cobb's in domitable - leadership, strengthened their hold on third place as Cleveland dropped another to. Boston, § to 6, and at least were within hailing dis- tance of the leading two clubs. The Glants Increased their lead to six and a half games, as they put Pittsburgh to rout again. 7 to 1, while Burleigh Grimes held St. Louis in check and the Dodgers rang up a 12-to-2 victory. These results left only a game difference in the stand- ing of the three clubs battling for second place. Hornsby of the Cardinals kept with- in one of his American League rival, Willlams, by hitting his fifteenth homer. Jimmy Ring pitched hitless ball for seven innings after relieving Meadows and the Phillles trimmed Cincinnati again, 7 to 2. Chicago's ninth inning rally handed the Athletics another setback, 9 to 8, while Roy Grimes' home run drive in the twelfth gave the Cubs & 7-to-6 victory over the Braves. —_—— THORPE HITTING NOW. NEW YORK, June 17.—Jim Thorpe 18 out after a few hitting records since he joined the Hartford, Conn., club of the Eastern League. The Indian star collected three doubles out of four trips to the plate yester- day and boosted his total for the three days he has been with the team to ten in fifteen times at bat, for a percentage of .667.

Endless pages have been written on what to do and what not to do n bait casting, but, boiled down, perfect casting Is simply a matter of how well you remember and how in- tensely you apply the four Ps—pa- tience, practice, precision and perse- verance. The art of casting, being able to 1 |cast a lure, light and fluffy. a bait heavy and unwieldly, as is the case with most forms of live bait, or to cast a non-resisting bait such as an artificlal minnow—to cast any of these against the wind, with the wind or diagonally into the wind—and to cast thirty, forty, eighty feet or more, is indeed an art. It should be understood, however, that the skill of the expert is not necessary for ordinary. pratical - fishing. ~ Nice strings have been caught by begin- every one wants to get out of the beginner's class as soon as possible. Casting consists of five distinct operations—the backward stroke, the forward stroke, a short period of shifting the rod to the other hand and, finally, retrieving. Too much stress cannot be laid on sitting down when fishing from a boat. A caster should never attempt to stand—it Is, above all, bad_form, it is awkward, it ie tiring and it is dangerous, because the general run of fishing boats were not built to stand in but to take a seat and be as_com?ortable as possible. In making the backward stroke do not leave too much line between the tip and the lure, as too much may permit of your bait looping the end of the rod. Watch this and it may save you the embarrassment of throwing your rod into the water. Go straight back with the rod over the shoulder, the hand at the shoul- der, elbow down close to the body. Let the rod go stralght back over your shoulder and then bring it for- ward with both wrist and forearm movement, pointing straight toward, but a little above, the spot you wish to hit. Try to make your movements smooth and easy, avold jerkiness and straining. Make your rod do the throwing rather than your arm, and, lastly, don't try so.much for distance, but to get accuraly. Distance will come gradually without any effort. ME FoR A ROD AND STREAM By C.
