NATIONAL LEAGUE (LUBS ARE BETTER Next Season's Race Should Be Humdinger New York. Jan. 23 UP—A win- ter season that saw some of the £ame's most prominent stars bought, - |sold or traded, apparently has set the stage for another free-for-all \scramble for National league pen- nant honors next summer. The sensational player shifts of the off-season have left four clube, and possibly six, to be reckoned with in any discussion of champion- ship potentialities. Heading the list are the Pitts- RollTer ONIGHT GAME CALLED 8:00 WATERBURY vs. NEW BRITAIN Admissios 500—T5¢ CALL 2644 FOR RESERVED SEATS Preliminary Game Called 8:00 ” d n _ jalthough both are etrengthened. nuiNDas, JANVARY &, lwa burgh Pirates, defending titieheld. ers, Donic Bush, secking his secend pennant ia a8 many years at the helm of the Corsair crew, probably will find chief opposition coming |trom the st. Louis, Chicago and New York clubs. Cincinnatl, on the strength’ of a fine 1927 finish and Boaton with Hornsby, alsq are con- sidered .in the running by bbservers. Brooklyn and Philadelphia, on the basis of their records last year and their presgnt “puper power,” seem slated “for second division Dberths, A month ago tho New York !Glants were conegded as good - a chance to win the tag as any of their rivals but the Hornsby trade has’ upset these calculations.

The Pirztes completed ouly- one| trade of importance but that one ' brought “Sparky” Adams, erack sec- | ond baseman ‘of the Chicago Cubs, | to Pittsburgh to solve Bush's infield worries. The loss of Xiki Cayler, leaves Bush with the same outfield that won the pennant last year.

Louis Cardinals, led by their new manager, Bill McKechnle, have high hopes of beating the field to the wire in 1928, Cardinal fans feel that Bob O'War- rell, untroubled by managerial wor. rvies, will return to form behind the bat and that the infleld, with Theve. now back, agsin will compare fav. orably with any in the circuit. The pitching staff needs to do mo better than it did last year, when'it out. shone all rivals. The Cubs, sensations for a time last year, appear fo have added strength in one spot only to take it from another. With the addition of jCuyler, Joe McCarthy's fly-chasers should compilc many base hits but the loss of Adams has weakened a none too strong infield. McCarthy is banking on I'reddy Maguire, Toledo star, to flll the hole. Jack Hendricks stands pat on his Cinecinnati lincup, which closed the season in 1927 with a fine brand of baseball. If the club gets off the right foot, Hendricks feels that he will be in the thick of the fight all year. The tans up Boston way are hop- |ing for another “miracle team,” un. der the Braves' new manager, Jack Slattery, with Hornaby to supply tha spark in the offensive and steady the infleld at the same time the Braves figure to be the “dark horse” of the pennant struggle. Strength needs to be added, however, in the outfield and in the recelving depart- ments, Brooklyn has gathered together some minor league stars and Dave Bancroft, former Braves' manager, to back up the superlative work of Wilbert Robinson's mound staff but the Robins probably will have a tough row to hoe to finish higher than sixth, s x Burt Shotton, who sfarts the. first year of a two-year contract as man+ tager of the Philadelphia Nationals, japparently is foretloomed to the sece jond division and perhaps the cellar position. Numerous recruits will make the trip to the Phils' training !quarters but it remains to be seen whether they ean enable the club ta climb out of the depths. ), 1 Boston Tourney Tonight Boston, Jan. 23 (P—Amateur box- ers from two countries and six cit- ies faced a long program here to. night in a tournament that was ex. | pected to go far toward determining | national and Olympic laurels.

Runners — New York, Jan. 23 (UP)—With engaging franknass, some members of the forcign relations committee of the Amateyr Athletic Union to- day went on record as feeling that perhaps it would be just as well it br, Otto Peltzer, German middle distance runaer, did not compete in | this country this year, after all. The attitude of these gantienien s no reflection upon Dr. Peltzer, it {8 rather a reflectian upon the ability of the A. A. U. tq governor amateur athletics. The forei, velations committes was to meet today to make up ita collective minda on the matter. Dr. Peltzer and the German athletic au- thorities, naturally, awalt the com- mittee’s decision with cousiderable interest, Germany, looking shead to the Olympic games, in which she hopes fo finish second or third, views her star middle distance runner as a delicate plece of point-making ma- chinery, and is properly perturbed Jest ything connected with Dr, | Peltzer's appoarnnces in the United States affect his chances at Amater- dam. i Dr. Peltzer, however, is anxious te eompete h Like a prize fighter, he feels that mere practice is mot aufficient to keep him on edge: over a long period without competition. 8o the German athletic authori. tiea reluctantly suthorized him to compete thrice in the United Statec, subject to the appreval of the A, AU ‘Whereupen Mr. Joseph B. Mae- Cabe and Mr. Gustavus Kirby spoke their minds in no uncertain terms. They, as mambers of the fereign relations committee, decidedly -did not approve Dr. Peltzer's comper- ing here. They wented, they sald, no repetition of such unpleasantness ! as accompanied the running’ ot Paavo Nurmi and the vaulting or Charley Hoff 3 couple of years ago. It seems surprising that spokes- man for the A. A, U. thus admit that sugust body's inability to offer the hospitality of our board tracks and cinders to a distinguished viait- ing athlete, without saying to him: “You'd better not run here in the United States. S8omeone will tag you as a professional.” As & matter of fact, thers is an- other, sounder reason, from the ofticial A. A. U. viewpoint, why per- mission to compete here may be denied the German champion. Although Dr. Peltger is an ama- | teur, just as Nurmi and Hoff and | in which the gentieman who weuld have the privilege of allotting the runmer's services would find theme ‘ selves. world'a record fer Paavo Nurmi and Charley Hoff | compete here, it i obvievsly came croppers over the muatter of | tunate that they spoke up in achodules and traveling expenses. | and sald so.
