United Press Sports EditorThose Cruel GunmenT'HE best laugh that baseball fans have had this season camewhen Flint Rhem told his story.Rhem for “Rhum” as someone put it) had been counted onto pitch for the St. Louis Cardinals in one of the games of theall important series with Brooklyn’s Robins, a series which brought the Cards from second place to first, and the Robinsfrom first to second.Anvwav, Rhern was missing from his room at the hour ofeheek-up, and he continued to be missing for hours on end. When, finally he did come back, he was carrying several things, not least of which was a tale of dastard deeds. It seems there were two men with no boat but with guns and liquor.The guns made Rhem afraid and made him drink the liquor.The liquor made him—well. In* drank it.Rhem told of warnings of what would happen to him if hedared to pitch against the Robins. Oh, it was a harrowing tale.with plenty of angles, ramifications and other things.From *Rhem’s point of view there was just one thing wrong with his narrative: Cabby Street, who is boss of the Cards, didn’t believe a word of it. 1 don't believe anyone else believed the story, either, especially President Hevdler of the National league, and Branch Rickey. Cards’ business manager, who talked the thing over.Professional barflies considered borrowing Cards uniforms. Clrover Cleveland Alexander in all his glory never told a story arrayed with the trappings of the Rhem tale.
