Fortunately for the home town promoter the guarantees were more than realized everywhere. The record so far was set yester- day at Winston-Salem, N. C,, when ree xX thousand fans turned out to see perform, They saw both wishes ful- filled to their hearts desire. Ruth delivered three of the very longest clouts of his brilliant career. Vor two of them the Babe got credit for doubles. For the other he got it in the neck, nothing but a long foul, and afterward he had to suffer the ignominy of striking out. Tt was Shore day, and as such Ernie, the elongated pitcher of the Yankees, had the honor of pitching the first half of the game for New York. He pitched wonderfully fine ball in the pinches, and was in th hole very often, sc far as that go because of faulty support. The many errors might easily be excused in view of the fact that the diamond was made in a hurry and on very uneven ground.

HOW NATIONAL LEAGUE TEAMS COMPARE. By Hugh 8. Fullerton. xXGain since spring training s.arted. * Loss since ENTLEMEN and Fans: Here is where I throw up both hands. The Dope—the Infailible DOPE—refuses to tell which team will win the National League pen- nant. With six teams ranking so closely together in the figures that it ie with- in the province of luck to turn the sixth place team into the leader, and with the tw@ tail enders strong enough in individua) pitching talent to upset the leaders regularly, it is impossible to forecast with any degree of certainty which team will win, The situation is unprecedented, in my time at least. [ have seen three strong teams some years, four in a few, once five, but never before six that ranked so closely together. Cincinnati leads on the dope, but I have a horrible suspicion that the figures are a trifle misleading, some being a little high because of the fact that some of the Reds went faster than their normal gait last year. Besldes that, it is natural for every team in the league to save pitchers and beat the champions, which makes it harder for the title holder to win than for some team not so fa- vored. Remember, too, that there are two teams—Chicago and Brooklyn— with better pitching staffs than the Reds possess and one almost as good, and every other team in the inague has at least one pitcher who is good enough to make his team favorite against the Reds, unless he is pitted against one of Moran's stars. Also it is still a big problem as to how the new pitching rules will affect the work of Eller, and tt is certain that Dutch Reuther will not be as good this year as he was last. Altogether, while the Reds now show the best balanced team in the circle it is ® parlous thing to pre- dict a pennant for them, and even to ity néendous surprise to me to find Chicago second in the figures. Mitchell has been quietly conjident this spring and the dope shows that he is justified in it. His great strength, of course, is in pitchers, ind he figures his pitchers can gather in the Reds often enough to turn the series and the championship in his favor. The Cubs have had a strange ex- perience this spring, losing trength in two positions and gaining in four since they started training. Herzog’s serious rupture is a heavy blow to the team. Should he recover entirely the team will figure closer to the Reds even than they do now. Hol- lacher’ injured hand, which delayed him in ge.ting ready for the season, cuts more points of. ‘The Giants, due largely to speed and attacking power and some pitch- ing strength, rank third. The de- velopment of Frisch and Staaty helps the team's chances, I fully expected both Pirates and Cards to show stronger in the dope than they do, although both figure well enough to be pennant possibilities. If Terry re- turns to his team the Pirate chances will be further increased. In fact, if I were depending upon opinion rather than cold figures, I would move the Pirate team higher up in the stand- ing. It is : dangerous and speedy ball club. Gibson, of course, Is un- tried as a manager, but the team will stir up 4he league badly. All that remains to do with the dope is to figure the | final standings. ABOUT OTHER BIG LEAGUERS.
