I hereby offer you $30,000 and all expenses for Lewis to accompany Carpentier on a ten weeks tour, you to approve of every engagement in which Lewis appears.” ‘When Lewis was shown the tele- | gram he expressed his eagerness to! accept, and declared that it was an, added ‘incentive to him to wrest the title from Stecher. “I did not need any added stimu- lus,” said Lewis, “but all these things have their psychological effect, and| this offer is bound to be of assist- nee to me.

Business office baseball with its muckraking stories during the long winter months passes into obilvion the minute the players step out on the diamond. Tiile is the only spec- tacle really wanted by millions of rooters, especially this season when the outlook is particularly for the two major leagues to crash all records. i From now until the russet days of October wilespread interest will be focused on the two pennant races not only by hundreds of thousands who view the games but by count- less others who eagerly utilize the newspapers to follow the exploite of their favorites. Soon after the last world’s series managers started to recast positions on their teams. Trading was brisk during the winter. With the ac- quisition of “Babe Ruth for §1%,- 000 the Yankees annexed the distinc- tion of being the first million dollar club, This shifting about stirs up intense interest and Indications point to remarkable races in both leagues. Form players already dope it out that Cleveland should come near winning the American League bunt- ing while five clubs in the esenior organization all appear evenly bal- anced and qualified for lead-off position in the long campaign. In the preliminary series down Yankees Will pa tomers Scott Perry Will Be’ Given Pitching Assignment by » Manager Mack To-Day. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 14.—A loyal engineer and a loyai crew safely carried Miller Huggins, his Yankees, and Babe Ruth's dozen or more highly polished bats to this city for the ofen- ing game of the American League season to-day against the Athletics at Shibe Park. They needed a good night's sleep, for to-day they will have to face the great speed and elusive curves of one Scott Perry, Connie Mack's best bet. According to reports, Perry trained faithfully on the Southern trip and is pitci.ing his 1918 form. Behind Perry will be a team of young- sters—youngsters whom Connie Mack hopes will win a sufficient number of games to keep him out of last place. On the eve of a new pennant race, Hugging is contident of his team's suc- cess. He is not predicting a pennant for his players. Neither ix he predict- ing the American League championship for any other club in the Ban Johnson organization. The little manager is well awa. that the coming ball scray is going to be a long and hard one, an that it will take a mighty good club to finish first. Huggins also knows that his team packs a great punch, and that his staff of pitchers can hold its own with any other staff in the American League. ‘ll that he asks is a fair share of luck. With a little luck ‘and no more acei dents, the midget leader thinks he can bring the Yankees e in front. ‘All New. York fandom wishes him well, fop the Yahkees have yet to win their first American League pennant.

South the National League nosed out ite younger rival, 42 games to 40. The Giants of all teams make the most impressive showing. Manager McGraw has cleverly bolstered the old playing machine with several new parts and his 1920 model is said to be one of the strongest Giant combination that ever began a sea- son, Frank Frisch, a youngster from Fordham who underwent a course of bench instruction last season, has replaced Zimmerman at third base. Frisch, wonderfully fast and a good hitter, has starred in most of the pre-season games, Statz and King, two newcomers in the outfield, will bear watching. They are rogarded as real finds. Kelly at first base is another new member. For opponents in the opening game the Giants drew Boston, whioh suc- ceeded in winning a series from De- troit. Any club George Sta‘lings manages is always dangerous and the Polo Grounds crew must swing the whole works to get off to a flying start this afternoon. The Dodgers with their fine pitch- ing staff, rated the strongest in the league, should be a consistent tender this season. Brooklyn will ruin sev- eral pennant hopes if Manager Rob- ingon insists on aggressive playing throughout the race. The Yankees with “Babe” Ruth their prize home run kind, Carl Mays who many believe is the premier pitcher on the American League bir- cuit and several other luminaries encounter the lowly Athletics in thetr opening contest this afterndon. Cou- nie Mack has assembled a veritable “kid” aggregation and unless the shrewd leader has a string of phenoms on his payroll the gallant Yanks should gallop off with the first game. Conditions out West arg pretty much of a puzzle. For that matter most any team is until near the first of July when a good line can then he had on its chances. The world champions are about the same bunch that surprised the baseball world last October when the White Sox were defeated for the big title. The Sox, by the way, are not favored to repeat this year in their own or- ganization. The wise ones flock to Cleveland with its wonderfully wet! balanced lineup. It is difficult to see how the Yankees even with Ruth and Mays can lead the proces- sion ahead of the Blues, but some- times strange things happen in base- ball. For many years Cleveland has been a notorious near champion, accidents usually developing just when the team was about to top the field. But no matter what hap- pens the season that opens this af- ternoon should be replete with thrills and a record breaker for attendance —_—_—_—— It’s a long line that knows no turning to our comfortable *“Composite’”’ Derby.
