'N the same ring in which he blasted the championship hopes of many other heavyweights, Jack Dillon, the light heavyweight champion, added Tom Cowler, the fast English} | heavyweight, who was brought to this country by Jim Corbett, to his list of victims, Cowler was com- pletely knocked out in the second round of a ten-round go at the Broad- way Sporting Club of Brooklyn. The finishing blow, an overhand right swing, flush to the Jaw, was one of the cleanest punches ever delivered fn a boxing contest in this vicinity. So accurate and effective was it that as soon as it landed the big English- man straightened out and fell flat on his back on the floor.

By Bozeman Bulger. we may rely on the official records as a basis of calculation, the St. Louis Browns, as a result of the consolidation with the Federal League \ team of St. Louis, will be the real |“hard boiled egg” of the American League next season. It will be tough picking for the boys who have been accustomed to dropping in St. Louis and cleaning up. The Browns appear to have reaped more actual benefit out of the consol- idation than any other club in either jleague. They, like the Cubs, take the ‘opposing team in its entirety and do not have to pick out stars here and there. As a result of this merger the Browns, under Fielder Jones, the new manager, will have as good a pitching staff as the league can show in any other city, Boston not excepted, In addition to getting a whole club the Browns get a whole manager. Fielder Jones once won the pennant and the World's Series for the White Sox in Chicago. He is the goods—all wool and a yard wide. As a direct result of the consolida- tion the butting average of the Browns will be increased from .245 to The fielding percentage is in- used in efficiency from .949 to .958. The St. Louls team of the Federal League finished one point behind the Cubs for the “outlaw” pennant and, by many, of the two clubs, doubt about the superiority of pitching staff.

It will be pretty hard to pick a pennant winner next season, espe- cially in the National League. Owing to the fact that the majors have absorbed many especially Browns, taken over Fed stars, the Cubs and the who have respectively the Whales and the Sloufeds intact, It is pretty hard to say who'll win the two flags. Boze Bulzer, The Evening World's baseball expert, has written a series of articles, the second of which appears on this page to- day, analyzing the clubs under re- organization, the infleld under the consolidation: HY Borton 289 $i 2b, Vaughn...

Chosing from Drake, Kirby, Miller and Marsans of the 1 from Clarence Walker, Walsh, E, Walker and Ja- cobson of the Browns, there ought to be something doing. Jones has indi- cated that he will offer a first string like this; Shotton .. Miller Tobin Cc. W. . 269 General avera, » 289 Then as substitutes they would have Drake, Kirby, 6. Walker and Marsans.

It is not certain, however, that Manager Jones will ine them up that way There is no question about Sisler being a bet- ter man at first than Borton, We ave seen Borton on the job for the nks and we have seen Sisier on » job for the Browns, At short, though, there is a serious doubt as to whether Jones would play Johnson over Lavan even with his better hit- ting. Lavan is a wonderful ficider, and for a while was the sensation of the American League. ‘Then, again, ft is a question if Charley Deal, the former Boston Brave, would the call over Jimmy Austin, as game a little flelder as ever drove a spike in the diamond. | From the lot there is no doubt but} that Jones can pick a wonderful com- | bination whether he depends up the better hitter or the faster fle It is breaking for him both ways: H |a free agent last fall. corking hitter in the National League, he fell down lamentably after his jump, He finished the season with the almost unbelievable batting aver- age of .177, and that against weak pitching. While the Browns have improved wonderfully in both the infield and outfield, it is in thelr pitching staff that they show real class. To begin with they will have Davenport, Her- bert, Suggs, Hamilton, Wellman, Koob, Perryman and Groom, to say nothing of Watson, Willett, Crandail and Sisler. Sisler, you will remember, is. the best all arotmd player in the game. He is not only a good pitcher, but a corking good first baseman and an outfielder. Rickey kept him in the game all the time last year, in one po- sition and then another, just to get the benefit of his batting. The Federal League team also had Eddie Plank, but he had no reserve lause in his contract and was made Davenport was one of the best pitchers in the Federal League, and others of the staff ranked high. In the catching department the new Browns will have Sam Agnew and In the outfield @he new Browns will be able to present a tough combina- over Hartley, formerly ‘st string men, with § {ams and Chapman in waiting.
