Brooklyn show E DISAPPOINTING Where TW> Come rPitchers ?le?n ?? By JOHN' B. roerfKH mr-4. 1*24. M .tSew York, June 7.?-Sut for "le jSf.-inn Ot the Chicago Cuba lato VK first division, the 1924 race In the National League ?nlght be ?lmo? a replica ot the race of 1923. The Olants have not wo? quite as m?n> Barnes as they did la?' 5,ear; but V'T don't need them If the other clubs do no better than they have been do "Tjrooklyn, for Instance, has lost nine games to New York and won only two since the season began ilit year on May 5. Brooklyn had won 23 games and lost 19 To dat they have won 22 and lost 19. Tne Cubs, up in second place, are about five and a half games ahead of their last year's record, with a total of 25 games ahead of their last years record, with a total of 25 won and 18 lost Cincinnati's record is al most Identical with last year's, that club having lost the ground t sained early in the season, when It looked as If Cincinnati was going to be the challenger ot the Qlants. The Pittsburgh club Is crawling up a trifle, but the remainder of the league Is plodding along at the same old hum drum pace and there Is nothing but the remotest possibili ty that the other clubs will do any better the rest ot the season. There la nothing about the St. Louis, Phil adelphia and Boston clubs to warrant a prediction of speeding up. The showing of Brooklyn against the Olants Is bitterly disappointing at this stage of the race. A team with the pitchers possessed by Brook lyn may legitimately be figured on to hold the leaders where other teams fall, but the Brooklyn pitchers are as straws against New York. No matter from what team they come, aa soon as they have hibernated In Brooklyn awhile, they turn up their toes when they are asked tq face the Qlants. Two more victories by the Qlants will give them their half of the to tal number scheduled with Brooklyn this year. In 1923 the Olants and Brooklyn won 11 each out of 22 games played. This year It looks aa If the Manhattanltes would run away from their Brooklyn fellow townsmen. And the margin they win from Brooklyn, likely as not, will be Just about the margin with which they will finish the pennant race. Brooklyn has made a move that ahould help put it into the running as a National League pennant con tender. It has acquired Brown, the big centerflelder of the Indianapolis club. Brown was the best outfielder playing ball on liny minor league team In Florida last spring. and looked about as good as any fielder on any other team down there. Cin cinnati set a trap for him. but Brook lyn set a better one, and Indianapo lis finally has been prevailed upon to let him go In exchange for Jones, a shortstop .and Bailey, an outfield Jones played good bnll In Port land last year. But he failed to re port to Brooklyn on time, owing to a differenre over whether or not he should get a big slice of the money Brooklyn paid Portland for him. Consequently, he did not get into practice, did not round Into form, and did not get on the Brooklyn team. So it's back to the minors for Brooklyn gets a hitter In Brown. He can't throw much, but he does not need to. He can cover as much ground as a three ring circus anl la a sure catcher of fly bulls. , Thirteen left handed pitchers did duty In games played on Tuesday, Junn j.?There were eight contests. Including the double header In New York. Left handera got In the game ?on one side or both?In St. Detroit. New York. Philadelphia. Boston and Chicago. One of them, Zachnry, of \% ash lngton. pitched a two hit game against Detroit. Another. Mltchel of Philadelphia, did the same against St. Louis. It waa the biggest ftiuth paw day that major IWe basetaU has had In many a moon. SI* of the left-handers won their games. Two major league clubs have post ed a standing offer of a good round sum to anyone who will dialer for them consistent left-hand pitch em who look Ilk? 'tiyfrn.

(New York June 7.?Lee Fohl. manager of the Boston Americans, Is conducting a triumphal tour of the West, meeting old friends who are proud to shake his hand, and leav ing behind him a trail of baseball memories ef might-have-beens. He has Just been presented with a diamond ring at St. Louis, the cl-, ty which he quit as a baseball man ager last season, not altogether of his own violltlon. He also seized upon the opportunity to win for Bos ton a temporary leadership of the American League at the expense of the team he piloted last year. Thus' poetic Justice is served sometimes in baseball, as well as in the classics. Nothing could have been fitter than ' for him to take the league leader- [ ship?today reduced to second place New Millinery AT Mitchell's Shipment Every Week LADIES' HATS. 98.08, 85.00, $0.00 CHILDREN'S HATS, 81.08, 82.48, 82.08 Mitchell's bX* ?at th? hands of th eclub which last year turned htm down Just aa he had sot the outfit going. When Fohl gets to Cleveland, they are to give him a "Fohl Day." There is another city in which he was unfortunate. They thought in Cleveland that he guessed poorly with his pitchers, and it was the heritage of that opinion which fol lowed him to St. Louis, where he was criticized for changing pitchers in a tame against New York which had much to do with the pennant. Second guessers have done more to hurt Fohl's careers than any oth er thing. He has be?*n compelled to run a veritable obstacle race be cause of the attacks that have been made upon his judgment. Yet cold facts show that he has always brought forward the team he has been permitted to control. As the Boston Americans stand now, they must be reckoned with until they come an awful flop. They have not exactly fought their way to the top ol the league, because they have been in the neighborhood of the top all season. They are re taining their hold on first division because they are good and because their pltchera are doing better than anyone expected the? would.
