LEAGUE LEADERS BOAST BOTH SPEED AND POWER Sisler and Williams Comprise Powerful Combina- tion, and McManus Is Furnishing Unexpected Aid—Final With Fohls Here Today. “] the Browns could engineer a deal to obtain the services of Dick Kerr all speculation regarding the American League race would be ended.” This was the observation of a base ball veteran following the storm that halted yesterday's game between the Fohls and Griffs in the third inning, much to the chagrin of all Milan's men, who were lead- ing. 3 to 1. and Judge particularly, Josephus having whaled one of Dan- forth's offerings over the right field wall with the bases loaded in the first innmg and collected a single just before the downpour. \ Kerr has turned to independent ball as a means of livelihood, because O ner Comiskey refused to meet his demands for a $2,000 raise in salafy, aithough the Old Roman has obtained oodles of publicity through his an- nouncement of the purchase for $100,000 of Willie Kamm, an untried minor league mhelder with the San Francisco club, for delivery next season. The d tive White Sox southpaw would, of course, prove a handy periormer for any club, and be especially useful to the Browns, but they contend they do not need Kerr or any other athlete not already on the roster to give the Mound city its first American League pennant, and there | are many en vers who are inclined to string along with them in this belief whic ve put they disc mach which b department.

In the second inning of yesterday’s abbrevisted game between Browns and Griffs McManus, on first by virtue of a slow roller that refused to roll foul, sprinted for third when Jacobson shot a single to center and arrived there safely, as the above snap shows, when Rice heaved high to Bush. Donie broke all altitude records for midgets when he went into the air for this one, and it is remarkable that he was able to check the flight of the ball sufficiently to hold McManus on third.
