NEW YORK, April 21? (1. N. S,) Somewhat the worse for
wear, but still the idol of the American public, baseball
comes back to us this week .with' the opening of the pennant
races in the major leagues. f
The grand old sport has proved its stability beyond the ques
tion of a doubt by surviving two recent wars- Federal and inter
nationaland the prospects for a brilliant comeback are altogether
; optimistic. . j;-;V- -' v" ..V-:--:.:-r ' - '- f -'v: -;'
, Big crowds at exhibition games in the southland, reports that
baseball enthusiasm is running high throughout the country and
-the auspicious opening day crowd that greeted the Braves and
Dodgers at Boston are harbingers of a banner season.
Major ;league baseball comes back changed in some respects.
More than 25 big league payers haveVbeen traded around by the
10 clubs and their advent in new uniforms will enliven interest.

THE CLUBS TO WATCH ; C
Despite the fact that, the line ups
' of several clubs are uncertain today
there Is prospect of hot pennant
races In both j major leagues. The
clubs to watch, as the writer sees
them.' are: .. . -
National league: Chicago. Brook
lyn. New York and Pittsburg.
American league : Boston. New
. Tork. Cleveland and Philadelphia
According t our figures the Cubs
should win the pennant again. The
big reasons why Chicago looks so
good are easily set forth, as to-
, lows; . I :: .

' The Giants present a big question.
McGraw has the best outfield in the
league in Burns. Kauf f and Young.
He has capable catchers and a good
though aged infield. But the Giant
pitching is too uncertain. Barnes,
Benton, Schupp, Steel and Winter
are the pitchers McGraw Is banking
on at present. Toney and Perritt may
and may not join the chib. Even If
they do. there ia no sign they will be
world beaters.
: The Dodgers look even better than
the Giants. Uncle Robby has 'an un
certain line up at present. But with
Ed Konetehy on first, Magee on sec
ond. Olson at short and O'Mara or
Ward at third, the infield problem
has been solved at last. The Dodg
ers have a great outfield In Wheat,
Myers. Griffith and Hickman, and
pitching second only to the Cubs on
paper. Pf ef fer. Grimes.: Mamaux,
Marquard, Cadore. Smith and Cheney
form a staff with a World of de
fensive power and versatility, f
-- BUCCANEERS DARK BCT&SES ,
The Pirates stand out as the real
dark horses in the National league
this year. Bexdek has a great out
field in Stengel, Carey and South
worth. He may get Davey Robert
son yet. The infield is fairly strong
with Saier. Cutahaw, Caton and
Boeckel working regularly. The
-catching is mediocre but there-are
possibilities in the Pirate pitchers
among whom Cooper, Hamilton,
Mayer. Sanders. Carlson, Pender
and Adams stand out prominently.
I The Reds might cut some figure if
Pat Moran can tune them up in time,
which seems doubtful. The Reds also
have weak pitching, likewise the
Phillies can scarcely, be counted as
pennant contenders. .The Cardinals '
are much like the Pirates when fig
ured on paper.' That is. much de
pends on Branch Rickey's pitchers
and the Braves lack the proper bal
ance to rank as a first division club.
THREE HOS8E RACE
-i The race for the American league
gonfalon is going to be at least a
three club, affair most of the way.
Once again Ed Barrows' Red Sox
stand out as the likely pennant wi
. Iters. - . .
Bush, Mays, Jones, Fennock and
Ruth form a great pitching staff.
The Sox as a team will be a great
defensive club and as usual a smooth
working, though not too sensational
club on offensive. Barrow has bal
ance in every department. - '
j The Yanks lack a right fielder,
though fhey are strong elsewhere,
and Miller Huggins has a great staff
of pitchers in Shore. Shawkey, Mog- .
irid. Quinn, Schneider and Thor
mahlen. j The Yanks will be in the race all
I the way if the dope holds up.
GARDNER AIDS INDIANS
j The Cleveland Indians, second
i place winners last year, wil be just
as strong as ever, and their punch,
has been augmented by the addition
of Larry Gardner, who will play
third base.
watching. After a long period, as a
wall flower, Connie Mack has come
back with a likely looking bunch of
young players. The White Sox ap
pear to lack the pitching necessary
to make them pennant-contenders.
Washington, Detroit and St. Louis
are surrounded- with i uncertainties
and look like second division clubs.

time and made two of the runs scored
by Salt Lake. The score:
The batting rally in the eighth that
ruined Oldham was helped along by a
double by Rumler and a three-base hit
by Sands.

of a scrap between Dick Cox and Ernie
Johnson. Cox slid into Johnson at sec
ond base and spread Ernie over the land
scape. After the game theymet In the

Biff Schaller made memorable, but this
time somebody remembered to turn on

Sunday, winning the morning go 7 'to
3 and the afternoon contest 2 to 1.
