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

But. the. Braves .are shaping up
