TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1925 World Results By Leased Wire IATEEN MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS SWING INTO LONG AACE TODAY Optimism Expressed by Managers in Spite of Long List of Casualties Forced to Hold Down Bench for Time CHICAGO, April 14.—(By The Associated Press.) — Baseball fandom today started its annual pilgrimage to National and American lea gue arenas for the national battes of a six months’ campaign for baseball leadership. Fresh from weeks of limbering up in southern ern training camps, capped of injured players, sixteen major league teams were prepared for the opening affray that will bring the national game back into the lime- light after months of partial eclipse by winter sports. A quarter million enthusiasts wel- comed the return to baseball nor- malcy. Good playing weather was in prospect in most 6f the eight open- ing cities predictions of unsettled weather however came from Cincin- nat!, Detroit and Boston. With many major aggregations strengthened by infusion of new blood with encouraging pre-season records in training games, managers of each team expressed optimism on the season's outlook, but aleardy close followers of the sport have been picking the probable winners. The New York Yankees, Washing ton Senators and Detroit Tigers, ac cording to these dopesters, appear to have an ‘edge in the fight for the American league bunting, although the St. Lopis Browns, with George Sisler at the helm, are looked on as possible contenders. Ty Cobb, De- troit pilot has not been backward in predicting that his team would gar- ner the honors, In the National league, which in- cidentally is celebrating its golden anniverrary, the nts, the Pitts- burgh Pirates and the Brooklyn Dod- gets are touted as possible winners, with the St. Louls Cardinals a likely competitor in the neck and neck showing. The Senators, last year's world champions, led by Stanley Harris invade New York for an opening try out with the Yankees, three times champions of the American league and of the world in 1923, The Giants, National league cham- pions, battle the Braves at Boston. The opening series was arranged on & basis of enst against east and west against west. Perhaps the most sorely disap- pointed among baseball's followers and players was Babe Ruth, mighty Wankee slugger whose plea to be per- mitted to play in the opener was met with a cold reception from his physicians who ordered him back to bed when hig temperature still reg- istered at the century mark. ‘Training season Injuries especially hit the Chicago Cubs, so that Walter “Rabbit Maranville and Denver Grigsby watched the play from the grandstands. Maranville has» a broken ankle and Grigsby a frac- tured collar bone. Among other cas- ualtfes are Joe Hauser, first base- man of the Athletics and Fred Hel- mach of the same team. Bill Jacob- son, star center fielder of the St. Louis Browns, is a holdout, while Doak of the Brooklyn Robins has gone into business. On the very eve of the opener the Boston “Braves announced the un- conditional rejease of Stuffy McIn- nis, for refusal to accept a salary eut and for failure to report at the training camp. New faces include Jim Poole, who takes Hauser’s place for the Mack men after a slugging career with the Portland club of the Pacific Const league. The Phillies have ndded Chicken Hawks, once a substitute first baseman for the Yankees and Brooklyn is looking for results from Jess Petty who moyed up from the American asrociation. At St. Louls pitches The ANVIL chorus is loud in its praises of this hat, designed especially for yc men and displaying the lively spring col One of many new Gordon styles. The smart style and becoming contours of this hat cannot be washed away by the first rain-storm—the quality protects you.
