There is one very important detail in which the Yankees hold a very strong advantage over the Browns— {and that is the matter of reserves. | The Yankees have a fine lot of extra| { hands. all ready to jump into the breach, but the Browns have practi- ! cally nobody. | The Browns generally are regarded as being weak at third base. N This was shown recently when, with El- lerbe on the ®ench, they tried first hertson, a recruit from Joplin, who iled. and then fell back on old Her- n Bronkie, who was in the old Connecticut League back in the days | when Grant was President. Herman | was a fair fielder in his day, but he's {no star to win a pennant wiih now. ON THE SIDE LINES Francis appeared to be in fine form vesterday. Two rather scratchy hits put the Browns in the way of scor- ing a run on a double play that{ jensued in the second. Ray fanned Sisler in the first inning, quite a rare feat. The Cleveland Indians, now pos- ssors of a winning streak of eight straight, arrive tomorrow for a set of four battles, with fifth place at To date this year the Tribe aken only one game of seven d with the Nationals. . nley Harris, who has been suf- g from a cold for more than a vesterday developed a fever and was ordered to bed by the club physician.

Cleveland. Chicago, St. Louis and Boston in that grder before returning August 13 to neet the Yankees. Dave Danforth, the highly touted comeback, has been unable to finish a game agaimst the Griffmen this season. He lasted three Innings here early in the sgeason, traveled meven rounds before being vanked in St. Louis last month and lingered for just one round yesterday. The Browns seem to have the luck essential to a pennant winner. The score when rain necessitated halting the game yvesterday was 5-1 in favor of the Nationals, with a man on sec- ond base, two out and the count of two-and-two on La Motte. The storm yesterday was & most inopportune thing, 8o far as Judge's personal record is concerned. After Danforth's wildness filled the bases with Griffmen in the opener Josephus walloped a ball far over the clock on the right fleld wall—four runs on one hit! In the third Judge got another hit, a single to left, but this and the bingles obtained by La Motte, Bush and Shanks will not get into the “lends an a mystically starched.
