LOOKING AT MAL® PTY SEATS, NE PRE : mMsece INTO ONE OCCUPIED BY A Cady, mM TO HER ANNOYANCES Ups me Py DON'T i I THIS LEADER IN BY PAUL PURMAN is Byron Bancroft Johnson, of the American league. Daseball strategist, perhaps, @ financial strategist who brings crowds to the gates of his parks. Johnson so takes care of his ball that every year six or seven are clamoring for admission the select circle and there is ly more than one or two out ¢lubs in the entire league. Kineteen-eighteen will be no excep- in this respect. The American this year presents six ball Of wonderful strength and bal- f any one of which would climb the first division at the least Of weakness on the part of any the others. From the standpoint of presea form and probabilities of warm ther development I have ar the clubs in the order given from the White Sox. Row Aggregation was not touched the war and three or four poten stars have been developed from Fookies, The club should be bet than last year and should lead Feat to the wire |.

ONLY WANT TO MAKE PRACTICES AS EmMe AMERICAN E THIS SEASON jand third and a wonderful outfield } The Indians are a club which manu | facture many runs thru clever work on the bases backed up by good hit | ting—a finished ball club. For third place the rejuvenated | Yankees look the best. The Yanks \ have the best balanced infield in the league, an infield which can hit, field and run bases, an infield of exper |ienced veterans. The pep injected makes the club look much better than last year, despite the loss of | several good pitchers. | The hard-hitting Detroit Tigers | should finish fourth. The Tigers will be out in front in batting this year, jas they have been for several sea |sons, The only weakness is the | pitchers, and the terrific Tiger of fense will, as usual, overcome much Jot the weakness in the pitching de | partment. According to my reckoning the Red Sox should be the disappoint ment of the year. Unless I am greatly mistaken Barrow will be shifting his infield continually this season to get the best results and the club will suffer greatly. The attack of the Red Sox this year should be as | strong as in 1917, the pitching prob Jably will be about as good, but the defense both in the outfield and in field has fallen down. Lam a little dubious about placing the Washington club in sixth place. | Some ways of figuring they should be higher in the lineup. Griffith's |club has improved over last year. | Lavan, who will take the place of | the slipping McBride, will strengthen |the infiekt and the addition of Shot }ten to the outfield will heip the l club's attack. Griff will have some of the best pitching in the league The Athletics will come out of the | cellar this season. Mack has traded |and dug around in the minors until jhe has got the nucleus of another | great ball club, his main problern this | year being his pitchers. The Athlet ies are going to prove a hard club to | beat this season | On the strength of the latest re ports from the Browns I am placing | this club tn last pla Injur dur ing the trai detri mental to the clu a rath er poor looking ag at left Shreveport for the Jones has failed to develop much of an attack jand his defense is not particularly bimnpreast KING SECURES RETURN FIGHT WITH FARMER Mickey King is going to get a chance next week to snatch the coast heavyweight crown from Frank Parmer, Kapowsin logger, to whom hhe lost the jewels recently in Ta coma.

This firm exerts every effort to make its Bock especially rich and superior—for the custom is that the Spring offering of Bock shall convey the appreciation of the manufacturer for his customer's patronage. The supply of Rainier Bock this Spring is limited—very limited—because of the shortage of many materials. But the smallness of the run has per- mitted unusual care and attention for each detail of production. So we are inclined to believe that you will confirm our opinion that Rainier Bock this Spring surpasses any of our famous past offerings. Now, hurry, hurry, hurry!

The Fable of the Bock Once upon a time in Holland, an intense rivalry developed between two neighboring towns over the manufacture of beverage. The one town claimed that the product of its rival lacked body, while the town whose product was attacked charged that the product of the town attempting the belittle ment was the one lacking in body. To settle the dispute, which finally assumed an hos- tile aspect, a square was cleared midway be- tween the two towns. In this square two large olled fabric receptacles were erected. During the period of construction each town set to manufacture a beverage bearing the heaviest body of which It could conceive. ‘Then, on a certain day, the inhabitants of the two towns journeyed to the cleared square, bearing their beverages with them. At the square, the beverage from one town was placed In one receptacle, and the bever- age from the rival town in its twin. For three days the receptacles were guarded, after which the inhabitants of the two towns returned, The appointed judges then made a public examination and found the bever- age from one tow» had. been so light that it had all seeped tarough the fabric, while the beverage from the cther.tewn was so heavy that practically no particle had escaped. At the announcement of the result, the Mayor of the losing town exclaimed that a Bock (a Holland word for goat) had broken into the square and with its horn had ripped a tear in the rece cle holding their beverage, and thus had it come to be spilled over the ground. To this, the Mayor of the winning town replied that the only Bock making way into the square was in thelr bever - it yet remained in the receptacle. This wit tcism shattered the alibi of the losing town and distinguished the product of the winner as the beverage of the Boc After the decision was y subsided somewhat, th ade and the jocu- beverage of the ted amon 88 T lished a custom. Now, in the Spring of each year, leading manufacturers of beverage produce an espe ly fine, dark, heavy body beverage —a k beverage, and distribute it as an ap preciation of the patronage extended them 500 Mn. or) 1,600 11 2.00 1! morteas thing p Orienta: £0 T- act 709 Ind eral Seral pri ae.
