JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. HE 8t. Louis Browns, who T have proved annoying op- ponents for Philadelphia’s | Athletics all season, have | deprived Lefty Grove, the A's | southpaw ace, of a chance to set !a new American League récord. Grove won 16 successive games, !tylng the mark set in 1912 by Smoky Joe Wood and Walter Johnson, before he ran into the 16 games. This time they have | 5" won only six games while losing eight. And there are only three more games to play. Last year it was the West that kept the Nationals out of first place. Their record against the inland clubs then was extremely poor. They gave the game—2 hours and 17 minutes. RAY STEELE DOES | Browns and Dick Coffman yester- day in the first game of a_double- | header. He pitched another good | game, giving only seven hits and | one run, the result of a misjudged | ball, which went for a double in | the third inning, but Coffman was ment. He held the first position on squad one, an honor he has been ac- | corded for fcur consecutive years. The first grand American handicap | at clay tatgets was held in New York | City tn 1900, and R.

East a good slamming, but they couldn’t do a thing against the West out in the West's own territory. This year the going has not been so good for them along the Atlantic seaboard, with the exception of Ferway Park, in Boston. In the New York and Philadelphia parks the Nationals have been lament- ably weak. They have won but one game in the Quaker City and only one game in Yankec Stadium. Unless in their remaining nine games with the Yankees the Nationals make a decided spurt, the holding of seccnd place will be a difficult matter, indeed. The Tigers furnish the opposition in the last tnree games in the West, and right now Bucky Harris has his crew playing bang-up base ball. Since re-| turning from the East the Bengals have won 11 of their last 20 starts, and only once have they been really overpowered. Never has a Tiger team finished in the | basement and now Harris has his men keyed to a fighting pitch in a deter- mined effort to get out of last place.
