Browns Contend for Pennant as 1922 Echoes Seen
By Joe I Williams in New York the St Louis Browns are hailed as flag contenders. They press the pace, depend on pitching and hitting, and face the draft impact if Steve Sanders departs. Manager Luke Sewell built a strong lineup, with Stevens back and a youthful, power-filled batting order. A look back recalls the 1922 Browns, led by George Harold Sister, who hit .401 with 246 hits and 51 steals, a season that defined the franchise’s early heroics.

Free Scoring Games in Two Eastern Parks
Diamond followers who like to watch the boys wheel round the bases had the runnings in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton last night as a total of 38 runs were scored in two Eastern League games. The wildest contest was at Scranton where the Williamsport Grays used a four-run ninth inning to take a 16 to 3 verdict from the Red Sox after the home club had shoved across 10 in the sixth. The Grays pounded four Scranton hurlers for 22 hits while the Red Sox collected 13 off two Williamsport moundsmen. At Wilkes-Barre, Elma beat the Barons by scoring 11 runs on 15 hits off four pitchers, aided by the four Wilkes-Barre miscues. The Pioneers, who used three pitchers to hold their foes to eight base hits, trailed 10 to 0 going into the fourth frame but staged a comeback before the Barons pulled away late. The total tally was 17 to 10. The opposite style was used by the Hartford Laurels as they manufactured just three singles to score twice as many runs and defeated Binghamton 6 to 1, Bill Marshall holding the Triplets to five hits as he beat Johnny Malinowski. In the Albany Senators’ home tilt Wilbur Reeser pitched the Utica Braves to a 5 to 3 decision.
