Louis Browns, the Chicago White battle for the fourth notch in the The Philadelphia Athletics can hardly finish better than sixth or seventh, while the Boston Red Sox “dope” to be last. That's the prediction as the teams, troop In from the South and West after their six weeks of preparation. The good old second guess will come n or about October 1 I have seen most of the teams in| training this Spring: added strength nere and there has been carefully weighed: past performances have been considered and on all these ihings my prediction is based. American League Race. Far different from the outlook in the American League in 142¢ are the prospects for 1925. Then it was an open race, seven clubs fighting to have a chance_for the pennant. Two or three appéared more dangerous than the others, but there Wis no Out of the hurly burly eame th: TWashington Nationals to their sensa- | tlonal triumph over the Yankees and | the Detroit Tygers. Thelr victor and the improvement made in their combination this Spring point 10 them as contenders again this year. The known strength of the Yankees and the Tygers also make them contenders. But there the competi- tion for the American League pen- pant probably will stop. There should not be last vear's oven race. The St. Louls Browns, the Chicago White Sox and the Cleve- land Indlans ought to comprise a + mecond flight of clubs striving for the honor of fourth place, while there appears little chancs for the Philadelphia Atheltics and ths Bos- ton Red Sox to do better than the tail of the second division. Why Detroit Is Picked. Of the threa teams named in the first flight. 1 belleve that the Detroit! team has the best chanc: of winning over the Yankees and the Among the three clubs there to choose, however, anl the should be one of the closest in vears. The “dope” in favor of the Tygers| is that they have the same offensive | punch they showed last year in run- | ning first in team batting, an im- proved fielding in 1924 and 2n im- proved pitching staff. Their ‘pitchers rate generally vounger than those of the Yankees| and the Nationals and they should| be able to stand the wear and tear of a hard campalgn better. They ve three left-handers in Whitehili, “Wells and Leonard, who rank higher any three on any other team n the league, and a quartet of able right-handers to back them up. The Tygers scored more runs than any other team in 1924, made the most hits and stood third in base stealing, showing that there is speed to back up the hitting. They lost many games last season through a weakness in the infield, which has been cured—in fact, which was cured toward the close of the 1924 race. To beat the Tygers and the Na- tionals the Yankees must have fine pitching all the time, must have Ruth hitting the ball as hard as he did last season and must have no weak- ening in the infield defense. I do not belleve the New York pitching staff is strong enough in numbers to be as effective over 154 games as the Tygers or the Nation- als, and if Scott should fail to cover the ground at shortsop that he did ast season the pitching will have a further burden to carry. As to the Champions. The Natlonals have added pitching strength this year, but it comes from three veterans discarded by other temams. Whether they will hold up 5 a question of vital importance. Granted that they win 20 games among them—that is, Reuther, Cove- leskie and Gregg—it would be easy to figure that if the other Washing- ton pitchers do as well as they did in the last campalgn the Nationals should repeat. But Walter Johnson will continue his meteoric success, nor do Mogridge and Zachary “dope” to The Nationals have as good a fielding defense as any team in the circuit, but they haven’t the hit- ting power of the Tygers, the Cleve- and Indlans or the St. Louis Browns, nor the long-hitting power of the Yankees. Almost all of their games promise to be close-scoring and low-scoring af- fairs, a terrific strain to put on any team two vears in succession. Summing up the case between the three leading contenders, it is my be- lief that the team which can beat the other two will be the winners n October. Last vear we find that the Nationals won 65 games from the t. Louts, Chicago, Cleveland, Phila- tdelphia and Boston clubs. The Yan- kees won 71 games from the same quintet and Detroit won 65. The Nationals won their flag by being able to beat the Yankees 13 zames out of 22, and the Tygers 15 out of 21 That, it appears to me, an be the situation again. The best team In the three-cornered serles of the leaders ought to triumph. St. Louix May Be Dangerous. If there is to be a team which will come to the front and upset things as the Senators did last year, I be- lieve the . Louis Browns have the! best chance of the three clubs which | “dope” to fight it out for the fourth, fifth and sixth places. George Sisler has bis array of vet- erans in line, a hard hitting and| strong flelding combination; and the pitching, long the weak spot of the| organization, has been bolstered. ' Sisler himself has improved over | last vear, and if he gets his batting form of 1922 there is no telling how far he can go. However, I do not Dbelleve the Browns have quite enough good pitching to put them in the class of the three leaders. The Chicago White Sox, with a new manager, Eddie Collins, seem to be destined to far better things than in 1924 when they sank to the bottom. As the prize fight manager says when his boxer puts up an indifferent fight: “We can throw that one out. The White Sox weren't right last vear. They lost thelr manager, Frank Chance, and while Johnny Evers worked heroically, injuries to his pitchers, the collapse of his shortstop ‘and the injuries to his star catcher kept the team down in the race. There's a different spirit this Spring. The pitching has been improved, the ibdeld Ras been.bolstersd—hardly up hardly | hander in HOW “DOPE” POINTS Barring accldents, here ix the way the teams in the National and Ameri- can Leagues should fin next Oc- tober: National League. 1925, 1—New York. 1924, | 2—Pittsburgh . 3—Brooklyn .. d{—Cincinnati . 5—St. Louls ...

S—Boston ..... to champlonship standards, however —and Schalk will -be back in_ the battle line. I believe that the White Sox may jump to the top of the second dlvision, but hardly any further. Indis Hitting Hard. Tris Speaker has his Cleveland In- dians hitting the ball as hard as ever. They stood second to the Tygers in team batting. but won only one more game than the tail end White Sox and lost only one less, which indicates that there was something wrong with the pitching and fielding. There was. Whether or not it has been corrected this Spring is the big question in northern Ohio. Speaker has one great young left- Shaute, but the other top- notchers among his pitchers are few. If he can show some improvement in box work the Indlans may climb above the notch they held last year, sixth place, but that is problematical. The Philaelphia Athletics appear to have been strengthened in pitching by the acquisition of Lefty Groves of the Baltimore Orioles, bought for $106,000, but whether this strengthen- ing will offset the loss of Joe Hauser, the regular first baseman, is another thing due to recelve serious con- sideration, Connie Mack, an astute leader, has a flock of southpaw pitching talent and some redoubtable sluggers, but as a whole his team is slow and apt to make errors in tight games. A's have beén promising great things for three years, but have always failed in the pinch. Judging the future by the past, the club can hardly be rated any better than seventh, though it seems possible that just as in last years race, mighty few games will separate the second division clubs. - The Boston Red Sox are in the same boat as the Cleveland Indians. They have one really championship pitcher, Howard Ehmke. The rest of the staff is good and bad in spots. Lee Fohl did well with his team | last vear, winning more games than tail-end clubs had in vears, and did it with an array which stood last in team batting and with only one reg- ular pitcher who won more games than he lost. He has injected somec new blood this Spring, but it is hard to see where he can pick up any more games than in 1924 with the material he has in hand. e UMPIRES ARE ASSIGNED FOR N. L.

On this moot point you wi all shades of opinfon. A few on predict another pennant for the Bucky Harris gang; others comcede the champions an even chance, but an amasingly Jarge number of experts e already counted the Nationals out. Outxide Washington the con. querors of the Glants held in surprisingly low csteem. By many they are accounted an ordinary tenm which had miraculous luck, which got all the break and suf- fered no nccldents, which blun- dered through to victory becamse of the inspired leadership of Har- ris. However, such an estimate of the Nationals Is a rank injustice. In fact, the Washington team was conxistently underestimated all 1a mom, was underestimated during the world series i being held too cheaply this Spring as it prepares for a new campalgn. atlonals may not win an- ag, but, if they lose, it will be because the Yankees or the Tygers realize the atrength of the <hampions and play accordingy. Anything may happen in ball, but from an April viewpoint the champlons stack up as a clean- hitting, strong-fielding, well rounded, versatile, fast and sprightly outfit, with the will-to- win spirit developed to the fever point. Although champions of the world, the Nationals ean be de- pended upon to fight for every point, and they will repeat it the Tygers and . Yankees also do met flight every step of the way. A doughty foe, the Nationals. A start eatcher in Muddy Ruel. The best infleld in the league in Judge, Marrix, Peckinpaugh and Bluege.

N pion’s manager, few seem to realize present contract endures. EW YORK, April 13—Amid all the talk of Jack Dempsey propos- ing a 35 per cent cut for Jack Kearns instead of 50-50 under the present arrangement if Dapper Jacques is to continue as the cham- that nothing can be done while the But this condition will not fast for long, as the understanding among friends of the two men is that the contract between the two men expires next month. This is the writer's idea of it, too. So remarks attributed to Dempsey in Los Angeles relative to the proposed change in his financial agreement with Kearns 1s looking forward to that time. Those In New York, who know both men, well belleve that affairs have been approaching a break ever since Jack got engaged, and they are certain that it Dempsey is really serious in hand- ing Kearns the small ends of future splits, the break will be effected. If this happens, the whole ques- tion of the debt of gratitude that a fighter owes a manager will be thor- oughly overhauled. Kearns made Dempsey without any doubt. When Tommy Simpson of Oakland sent Dempsey to Jack in the early days, the present title holder was & third rater. But Kearns was keen enough to sec the promise of the young fellow and brought him along, keeping Dempsey In the game at times when Jack was pretty well discouraged with his outlook. Kearns secured purses for him such as no previous champlon ever dreamed, having first won Tex Rickard's interest as a promoter. Between the two they have made $1,000,000 and by careful {nvestment both ‘are well fixed. Whether as a result of all that is gone, Dempsey is obligated to Kearns for as long a time as he remains In the ring is a matter that will be argued pro and con. As for Dempsey, his life has pretty much changed with his marriage. Mrs, Dempsey Is credited with hav- ing a good business head of her own and there is talk that she and Kearns are not wo friendly as one might expect in the case of the best friend of a husband. Still, this may be only the gossip that is bound to travel among fighting ocircles.

CENTLY I read an editorial in a Minnesota paper which so im- pressed me that I am going to pass it on. It has three points that First, it shows that even such States as Minnesota, which has a wealth of wild life, are beginning to see not only the superficial regula- tions of game and fish administration, but are becoming concerned with fundamentals, Second, it indicates a general public interest in such things, other- T. pape; i wise it would not have appeared as the leading editorial in a large news- Third, it shows knowledge of conditions on the part of the men who wrote it. It is from the St. Press, and here it is: From the East westward in the wake of the wave has come a sol- emn warning. Conserve is the word. - Conserve the remnants of game and fish. Conserve what is left of the forests. Conserve the land. g States of the East have learned their lesson. They know that they cannot take all without fam- ine. They are conserving their game, restocking their streams, replanting their forests, replen- ishing the soil. But what of the West and the Middle West? We call ourselves conservationists. We have game and fish laws. We are looking into the matter of forestry. We, too, have learwed that land gan be exhausted. ' Meanwhils we continue te ex- ploit. What {s left of thae timber is fallivg.

The upright half swing, which is the best of swings for a fixed method with golfers 50 years or mo of age, will not yield the distance on full shots that other swings get, but it yields plenty. This swing will easily dellver 200 ya from the tee, with now and then a ball well timed rhythmie that will earry 25 yards more.

The team had the rather unustal experience of outroll- ing its opponents, 1530 to 1,465, for the set, with every man doing 300 or Detter, and still dropping two of the three games. Bowling is certainly a great gamble. Cooper was the best man for Roads, with 314, while Nairn, with 306, was the only teammate to cross the 300 line.
