HE spot which really put my ball club on its feet was St. Louls, for we caught some fine weather there and the warm days set all the Players on edge, so we tore through Miller Hugegins's Cardinals, Of course, no team would look good against lh with the Giants going the way they Cardinals as very strong. To my mind, the best term in the West this season is the Cubs. The pennant will be won again by an Eastern club in the Nationat} League, and I don't look to see Pat Moran and his Phillies repeat. He | just hasn't got the stuff to put It over with the strong league he faces this season, Alexander won the flag for him last year, backed up by some strong playing and good, heady man- aging by Moran, for he is a cagey leader, But the league is much stronger this season and the winner will have to travel faster. Now, we come down to the con- tenders as near as I can pick them this early in the race after having been al the way around the circuit. They are the Giants, Braves and Brooklyns, Some dark horse may slip in, but I doubt it, Many other ball clubs will make trouble from time to time, But it looks to me like the Braves, Giants and Robins. If the Giants could keep going anything like the way the ball club was travelling | on the Western trip we would have the race practically ruined by the first of August. Said George Stallings to | a friend of mine in Cincinnati when | his Braves were there: “The team that wins the National | League pennant this year will have my team to beat.” And I think he is right at that, although George is always a little] optimistic and boastful at this season | of the year, He has @ strong ball t n, however, and one will} fight all the way, and I fear it more| than any other club in the league. MORE AFRAID OF STALLINGS THAN ROBINSON OF DODGERS. The Brooklyn Club has been going good, and Robbie certainly has a look in for the flag. If I can't win it my- self, | would rather see Wilbert Rob- inson take it than any other manager, but 1am going to make him hustle to breeze in. I am mo afraid of Stallings, however.
