/ Ss WEATHER MAN SMILES AMERICAN ASSOCIATION PENNANT RAGE LOOKS CLOSE AT THE START No Eivadies Show Up After Spring Spent at the Souther Training Camps; St. Paul Holds Edge on Strength of Last Year By DICK MEADE, Sport Editor, Toledo News-Bee. _ (Written for United Press.) TOLEDO, O., April 13.—No club in the American asso- ciation came up trom the south a favorite for the champion- ship honors. Unless there are radical changes made in the early season there will not be a first choice in the group. . , Naturally one looks for St. Paul, the runaway champion of 1920, to occupy a lofty niche in the race, but in spite of that fact that Manager Mike Kelly ,———————______ will receive player help in part pay- ment for some of the stars he sent up last fall, it is unlikely he will be able to replace Catcher Bubbles Hargrave, Third Baseman Goldie app and Pitcher Combe. Yet in spite of the loss of three such | P valuable players, the Saints have>a formidable lineup and are bound to frolic around the top, through the summer cam! ~ Louisville, which beat out Toledo for ‘second place by a half-gamé on} the day of lagt season, is practically the same aggregation that started so poorly and ended so ably last year. ‘The loss of Shortstop Wortman, who jumped to infependent baseball with the Fairbanks Morse club of Deloit, ‘Wis., is bound to injure the Colonels’ defense. Wortman is a weak hitter but a wonderful ball hawk. Roger Bresnahan, president of the Toledo club, and Manager Clymer say the Mud Hens are 50 per cent strong- er than in 1920, when they gaye St. Paul a bitter fight for two months. The addition of Fred Luderus, for- mer Philly for first baseman, will help the infield. Dyer at sécond, Derrick at short and Bauman at third will give a brainy group of inner workers. Tole- do had one of the best outfields in the association last year, but it will bet better this year with Jim Thorpe, ‘Wickland and Hill, a young phenom who hit .260 in 30 games last fall. Indianapolis is banking a great deal on its infield of Covington, Sicking Schreiber and Baird to keep it\ up in the race. Manager Hendricks has a good twirling force, but his outfield} J does not shape up particularly strong. The second division teams, Minne- apolis, Milwaukee, Columbus and Kansas City/are supposed to be great- ly improyed and may be able to break into the select circle. Minneapolis is talking success on 4 quartet of pitehers—James, Lowder- milk, Robertson and Schauer. Milwaukee was handicapped last year by accidents, the most harmtul being the broken jeg suffered by Del] Poms to be Ty Cobb, mow manager Joiner, first baseman.
