THE OREGON DAILY-JOURNAL, PORTLAND FRIDAYl EVENING, FEBRUARY -13, 1914. L3 SENATORS ANQ . LOOK NAPS RUNNERSUP THE AMERICAN GIRGUIT Federal Leaguers Make Some ' Little Difference irt; Doping Out Junior Pennant Race. Ily Frank G. Menke. Ne w York, Feb. 13. One of the toutrh- ft little tanks that confront sporting scribblers just now Is the "doping" out of the 1914 battles In the American and National leagues. In years gone by it was something of., a cinch. All that was necessary was to-find the combined batting aver age of a team. Its combined fielding and pitching average, make allowances for one or two recruits to bolster up the team, and thpn award the pennant to the team that looked strongest on paper. . Second place .was given to the team that looked second best, tnir place to the third best, etcetera. But there is a difference this year, Those Federad leaguers constitute the difference. Ever so often they grab off one or two players from the major leaguers, and their grabbing business to date has been of such nature as to make "doping" a bit hazardous. were it not for the Federals one might say In discussing American league affairs that the Athletics look healthy enough to repeat the winning of the flag, with Washington and Cleveland acting as runners up. But the Federals have horned their way in according to reports, and dealt the Naps an awful wallop by grabbing off Messrs. Falkenberg, Blandlng and Kah ler, three seasoned and dependable fllngers. Can't Hart Connie. Such a happening seems to dim whatever pennant chances the Naps had, unless one or two of their young fllngers come to the fore with a rush and perform stunts that will make grieving Napland forget the faithless trio. It is unlikely that the Federals will be able to snare any of Connie's stars, and such being the case, it Is unlikel that -any team will stop Connie from grabbing the bunting once again. His team this season ought to be better than last. He had some young twlrlers on his roster last year, and he warn' sure whether they would "pan." But they did; and panned almost pure. Bush, Shawkey, Brown and one or two of his other youthful moundraen, aided and abetted by Bender, Plank and pos slbly Coombs, will give Connie a big . erga in pitching. As to what his bat ting and fielding strength Is well, ask John McUraw, a New York person, Washington may furnish the Ath letlcs a merry little battle, but It doesn look, from this distance, as If th Senators carry a heavy enough wallop to beat Connie's crowd to the tape line. The Red Sox can be figured as "dark horses." Carrigan may be able to send them breezing along at the gait that landed them at the top of the globe In iv iz, ana maybe he cant. Chicago doesn;t look overly strotig, oui may spring a surprise by making a right for a neating place in first division. The White Sox harpooned few good looking recruits, and these bushers may develop Into real ball players, and give . the - Comiskeyites enough driving power to furnish a lot of trouble. - r -' ' The Yankees didn't loom up . any too strong at the end of the 1913 season, and the fact that several of their best men have gone over to the! Federals makes them - look much weaker. The New Yorkers may, show unexpected strength, but it seems that the best they'll have happen to them; this sea son Is a merry little battle; with the Browns for last place. It doesn't look as if Ty Cobb will finish better than sixth. Of course. Ty will have the grand mace support of Old Sam Crawford and he is assured that Bush and a few others In-his In field will catch most of the balls swatted or thrown In their j direction, ut Ty Is a bit shy on pitchers and tls said that a team is Just as strong as its pitching staff. i Of course, later events may change the situation entirely, but the "dope Just now points thusly for the 1914 American league season,: j Philadelphia first, Washington sec ond, Cleveland, Boston and Chicago in a battle for third place, Detroit sixth.
