By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, April 11.— New York’s two baseball clubs are going to the start- ing line as the favorites in a new pennant race that starts next Tuesday in the major leagues, It is the general opinion of the crities who Lave seen the clubs pre- paring down south that New York, Brooklyn and Pittsburgh will fight it out in the National league and that New York, Washington and De- troit will have the battle almost to themselves {n the American league. There is always the ‘possibility that some c » that has not been fi- gured will get into the running and there are only a few clubs lsted as helpless. Among them are the Bos- ton Braves, the Philadelphia Phillies and the Boston Red Sox. The Glants are no better than they were last year and they are no worse, assuming that the pitching staff will not fall entirely to pleces and that the club will have enough figyt and punch to bear the handi- cap of inferior pitching. While the Giants have not been strengthened materially during the off-season, none of the opposing teams have been improved greatly. Pittsburgh is taking a dangerous gamble with a rookie on first base in place of Charley Grimm and with a comparatively {inexperienced sec- ond ba: to fill for Rabbit Mar- anville. Crities who the Yankees have been watching ay that it is a greatly improved team with Earl Combs in center fle with Urban Shock- er on the pitc hing staff and that the morale and spirit of the team fs yast- ly better. The Washington Senatofs have added three experienced pitchers in : Gregg and Reuther and rve infielder in Mike Me- The the pennant away last year by play- ing during the early season with the Yankees practically kicked spirit that they were — invincible. When they had their eyes opened it was too late to start. It remains to be seen ff the Senators have the class to beat a team of Yankees that will pl ball from the first call of the umpire. Detroit is starting the race with the hope that the bad breaks that ruined the team last year may be avoided this year. In comparison, the Giants and the Senators have looked as evenly matched in their spring world’s series og they did Inst fall. The series now stands six to five in favor of the Glants with one more game to play. ee Once used—never refused—Auto- Strop. ELKS ALL-STAR BOXING CARD Al Webster ys. Tommy Commiskey, 10 rounds. Speedball Hayden v: Kid Ross Charley Long, Dynamite Murphy, 6 rounds, 8 rounds. Elmer Carey vs. Missou Pyle, 6 rounds Leonard Blaisdell ys. Earl Peck, 4 rounds. The Elk will stage an all-star boxing card at the Elks auditorium on Thursday evening, April 28, when Al Web- ster, the iron man of Billings, Mont., meets Tommy Com- miskey of Denver in a ten-round go, and Speedball Hayden tangles gloves with Charley Long of Omaha, one of the best colored fighters in the game. Dividing horors, eventers, and furnishing a world of local color and interest, will be the bout between Ernie Ross and Dyna- mite Murphy and the six-round en- counter. between Elmer Carey and Missou Pyle, the last two boys being turned out by the Elks’ tournament, and who have at last realized a cherished ambition to meet in the big ring and try out their skill and stamina over the long route. Leonard Blaisdell and Earl Peck two good local boys who met in the recent Elks’ tournament, want’ to settle their claims to supremacy for good, and have asked to go on at the Elks’ card on the 28d, and need- less to say they have been accommo- dated. Webster and Commiskey should prove an exceptional drawing card for Casper fans. They have met once before, and Webster was given the referee's decision by a shade, but many of the fans believed that it should have been a draw. Speedball Hayden and Charley Long of Omaha have fought twice before and each have a referee's di cision to their credit, Long outslu ged Speedball in Denver a few months ggo, and on the return match Speedball secured the best of an ex- ceptionally bloody encounter by a shade. The boys are particularly anx- fous to meet again and the fans. should witness one of the best bouts in recent years. ‘The go between Ernie Ross and Dynamite Murphy will also prove 2 topliner. Ross is in tip-top condition, as was proven by his fight with Benney Silva, the fighting Mexican, at Lavoye Friday night, when he forced the fighting at every stage and beat his man in every depart- ment. The boys have met once be- fére and Ross received the referee's decision by a shade. Ross claims that Murphy gave him one of the hard- est fights of his career, while Mur- phy is confident that the can stop the Kid on this trip. In local interest the battle between Elmer Carey and Missou Pyle should outshine the main eventers. These boys have been rivals since their school days and their street corner fights when they were kids furnish: ed many ao thrill for the kids and grown folks of the neighborhood. Carey outpointed Missou at the 1024 Elks’ tournament and received the judges’ decision. They were unable to meet at the 1925 tournament be- cause Missou had disqualified him- If by fighting professionally.

In the Arkeon bout Blaisdell received the decision, but Peck, claiming that the was out of condition at the time of the fights, asked for a return match, The bouts will be staged under the auspices of the athletic committee of the Elks’ lodge, the same committee which handled the recent amateur tournament.
