The St. Louis bogey has occasionally sent a thrill up the spines of McGraw of the Giants and Hug- gins of the Yankees ever since the '22 race} started. ' But until the recent sensational rush of | the Cardinals, the Giants apparently had a clear, if not wide, margin of superiority! and a safe lead over the Mound City | tionals. / The Browns have swapped the lead with | the Yankees, off and on, and have always waxed just as| os ca on the ball field, tho not so classy in the dope| ec!

If Leader stays at ‘Washington, he will stay as crew coach only. “We cannot compete with Yale, lines with uncanny accuracy.
