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.
