Latest Dope on II y Alun l, Gould, AsmmuUcU PreMi 8Mrts Kditor NEW YOltK, March 20. lP) Professor Miller Hugglns expects the American Jx-ugue race this season to be a three-cornered af fair, while his metropolitan rival.", Dr. John McOraw, who holds by ; popular aMent the degree of mas ter mind, believes that five clubs , wilt be in the thick of the Na-j tlonal League scramble. Two such weighty opinions , command a proper amount of rec J ognition but they do not dovetail j with the gerenal views. These, are that it will be no more than a double-barreled joust in tho American with the Athletics as the main menace to the Yanks and that probably six clubs will fight It out In the National melee. Hugglns looks for Washington as well as the Mackmen to fur nish the Yanks some real trouble. Some of the other observers in clude Detroit in their pennant reckoning. , j In the comparative safety of, predictions this far in advance of the actual season, however, lt looks as though the Athletics will! be the contedners-ln-chief. I The little Yunkee pilot has' never been prone, to over-confidence. Not even when his mighty maulers had upwards of a ten game lead, which they were Meadlly lengthennlg last season, did Hugglns permit himself to appear optimistic. Like the an cient crack about "Stagg fearing Purdue," Hugglns Was always "fearing;" some rival uprising that never materialized. In an un guarded moment toward the close when only a train wreck could have stopped the Yanks, Hugglns did yield to the extent of re- marking that "I looks as though' the club will win if it keeps up' its present pace." f Afterward he was said to have regretted this. McOraw figures on the five clubs that battled It out in 1927 to dominate the National League race again. The veteran Cliaut chieftain does not include the Boston llraves In this reckon ing. Like most of the other ob servers, ho dismisses Brooklyn and Philadelphia as a real pen nant threat. p.rooklyn, even if it has nothing more than a powerful pitching staff, will be troublesome, the Johnny lilsko of the league: apt to upset any well-laid rival plans. But. the. Braves .are shaping up like real contenders. H happens thnt the Boston club is gathering strength at a time when the Na tional League has as powerful a pet of clubs as It has ever known. But the team will have driving iff Hornsby is up to his usual stand- j ard nnd plenty of sharpshootlng from the pitching corps. At the pace they have been hitting, Oeorge Sister of tho Sen ators and Kikl Cuyler of tho Cubs may be back among the con tenders for batting- championship honors this year. The switch to j new fields seems to have Inspired the two. Should either or bothi cWnb to the top of the hitting haep, it would be among the sea-, son's most dramatic turns. j Cuyler. nt odds with tho Pi rate management last year, dropped to the lowest figure of E STATE it as our honest the tobaccos used in Chesterfield cigarettes are of fiuer quulity uud hence of better taste than iu any other cigarette at the price.

In the wholesale shakeup of the Browns, was sold for a mere $15,000 to Washington. In his first year as a Pirate regular in 124, Cuyler was among the five best hitters of the National League, with a mark of .35, and boosted this three points the next year. SUler has never been the same at bat since he was stricken by Mnus trouble after burning up the American League with a mark of .420 in 1922. It would be a miraculous comeback for him to club his way anywhere near the top. LOS ANOEI.KS, March S6.
