The exhibition game yesterday to have been played between the Brook- lyn Nationals and New. .York Ameri- cans, was called off on account of snow. None of the three ante-sea- son games scheduled between these two teams could be played owing to unfavorable weather. Secretary John B. Foster, of the Giants, announced today that a spring series of twelve games will be played next year between the New York and Detroit clubs. This an- nouncement sets at rest the rumor that because of the Cobb-Herzog un- pleasantness the Chicago White Sox i would replace the Tigers as appo- nents for the Giants next spring.

We Are Catering to - Afternoon Bowling Pin Men Always on Hand AETNA ALLEYS, Church Street | the strongest team in New York, April 10.—Manager McGraw of the Giants thinks he has the National league and says that, barring acci- dents to his players, he surely will win the pennant. In the accompanying illustration are three of the stars o the McGraw aggregation. They are. Herzog, McCarty and Zimmerman. ‘These players went to the Giants late in the season last year and cut a big figure in the remarkable stretch of victories which caused some wise baseball sharps to hold that the Gants were the strongest National league team at the close of the season. Mc- Carty came to the Giants from Brook- lyn, Zimmerman from the Cubs and Herzog from Cincinnati. That Mc- Graw greatly strengthened his team by this trio of players was proved by the box scores at the end . of the COBB OPTIMISTIC Crack American Leaguer Predicts Trouble For McGraw Because of Internal Dissension. Ty Cobb thinks very highly of the Giants' chances, The mighty Tyrus season, £ ! thinks so well of the New York team that he says “talk about the Giants winning a peanant is a laugh.”” In a Cincinnati interview Cobb declares that “instead of being sure champions the Giants constitute a joke team.” He predicts that before the season is three weeks old Zimmerman, Fletcher and Herzog will fight harder with each other than with any other National League team. “There will be one riot after another on that team,” continues Ty. *Internal riots will ruin all the prospects of the Giants.” It may be added, however, that Cobb was such a harmonious factor in Detroit shortly after he joined the team that It was a dally habit of every member of the Detroit club to take Ty out in the woodshed and give him a good hammering. Yet in spite of that Detroit won the pen- nant in 1907, 1908 and 1909. Europe until fall. Meanwhile, he | explained, the public would need recreation in order to partially relieve the great tension which has been caused by the present international situation. “In my opinion a great baseball season is about to begin,” the gov- ernor continued. rivalry and more energetic playing in the major leagues than for several years. In Greater New York, for in- stance, the fans will be entertained by three powerful tearzz—the Gilants, Yankees and Brookiras, If New York enthuses, the rest of the coun- try will follow suit, Baseball has been rejuvenated in the last six months. The wiping out .of the Players’ Fraternity . has praduced splendid results. The Federal league opposition has been forgatten. The ! sport has been cleansed and all the teams that will compete in the pen- nant race have been strengthened. “It would be impolitic for me to predict the outcome of the National league struggle. As president of the league, it is my duty to remain neu- tral. But I think that the public is well aware of the fact that the Giants, Brooklyns, Phillies and Braves are Just as strong as they were last year. i The Cardinals have been improved, too, and the Reds, under Mathewson, should give an excellent account of themselves. Fred Mitchell should obtain better results with the Cubs and Jimmy Callahan may surprise the baseball world with his new Pirates. ‘Indications from all of the major league citles point to a big revival. The fans all over the country are eager for the campaign to begin next ‘Wednesday, and I firmly belleve that the attendance figures, In some in- stances, will be broken. Of course, this feeling of optimism is based on the belief that the war with Germany will not produce serious results until after the baseball season ends. But if real trouble comes, players, olub owners and fans will quickly ehow their loyalty to the American flag.” “There will be more | | The battle was for the championship .and a $2,5600 purse. | stated that he would be unfit for ser- I vice for at least six months, ‘The purchase price, $1,600, was ordered refunded by Portsmouth to the De- troit club.
