As for the Pirates, they have been putting up a hard fight for tlie honors each season now for the past three years. That is the dub, it will lie remembered, we had to malic a clean sweep with last year in the'final series at the Polo grounds in order to win the pennant.” "If the changes Pittsburgh has made in its lineup sine* last season give the club the final punch it ha* heretofore lacked, the Piraies will be more dangerous than ever 1 e-foce. “J do not figure that the lo-« of Ttablilt’ Maranville will handicap the Ghicago Cul>s as much as some people ihink. .Maranville i" pretty far along in years as a haseliall player, “I believe the Washington Senator* will start tlie season a strong pennant contender, despite the rather mediocre showing they have made so far in 1 lie spring series with us.
