in Tiger Lineup
Detroit, April 15.—Despite the poor
showing of his men during the train
ing season, Manager Tyrtm R. Cobb
of the Detroit Tiger* thinks the fight
for the American league pennant this
year will be between Detroit and
New York with the Chicago White
Sox a* a third dangerous contender.
The Tiger outfield in the opening
game at Ht. J.ouis Wednesday may
find two youngster* replacing the vet
ornns, Veach and Hellmann. Manuah,
last year with the Omaha Weatern
league club, will play rigStfleld, and
Fotherglll will be In left, If Cobb's
present plan la carried out. Veach
wan benched last week because of in
different playing, and Hellmann ha*
proved disappointing at bat this
spring.

April 14. — The
possibility of a
15-rounil match at
Shelby, Mont.,
next July 4, be
tween Jack Demp

heavyweight
champion, and
Tom Olbbons are
declared to be ex
ceedingly bright
as a result of a
conference here
today between
Jack Kearnes and
Mike Colling, representing the Mon
tana American Legion.
Kearns, after a meeting with Col
lins at noon, left Salt Like City for
California And announced that he
would return to Salt Lake City next
week and again would take up pro
posals for the bout.
Helena, Mont., April 15.—Objection
to Jack Dempsey ever fighting in Mon
tana was telegraphed from Helena to
day by C. O. Lamport, state adjutant
of the American Legion, acting on
authority of the executive committee,
to Jack Kearns, manager for Jack
Dempsey; Mike O. Collins, manager
for Tom Gibbons, and Loy Molumby,
state commander of the legion, who
were scheduled to be in Salt Lake
City to negotiate for the proposed
fight between Dempsey and Gibbons
at Shelby, Mont., July 4.
The telegram follows:
"This Is to Inform you that the Ameri
can Irylon, department of Montana, Is
not now anil never ha* hern a party In
the negotiations wltlvh Commander toy d.
Molumby Is carrying on. which If success

the department of Montiina hae withheld
comment, striving to protect Its com

the promotion of ony price fight In Mon

Another Pennant
Scribe Says Champions Should
Win by Comfortable
Margin in
1923.
By THOMAS L. CIMMISKEV,
I'nirenial Hml« Nports F/dlt'V.
,EW YORK, A ;iril 15.
—Pleading innocence
of crystal gazing, nor
yet a d -earn, we
ladnch into the Job
of arranging the
Natl anal league
Htanding when next
October comes
around. Strange aa
It may seem to
some, particularly
arc>nt followers of
teams other than
our choices, we do
ot think it a very hard task regard
ing the first three.
Our predictions follow:
1—Giants.
S—Reds.
3— Pirates. ,
4— Cubs, Cardinals or Braves.
7— Brooklyn.
8— Phillies.
The Giants ought to win by a com
fortable margin, while the battle for
second and fourth place should be a
fierce one.
—
The Giants are a team of class.
They proved it indisputably by win
l ning though badly handicapped by a
shattered hurling staff last season,
end then upsetting the prevailing
dope by soundly licking the Yanks in
the world’s series. That class is still
there.
Some world's champions have suf
fered greatly in the succeeding year
by “cockiness,” over confidence. But
with a leader like John McOraw. this
Is not likely to happen to the Giants.
The players are masterfully handled
by “Mac," and there's no prima
donna stuff.
McOraw is going out to tie the rec
ord of the Cubs, under Frank Chance,
back In 1906, 1907 and 1908, of win
i ning three league titles In a row,
and, a fond dream, of making it three
world's championships in succession—
a new record. The players well know
it, they are treated finely, and they'll
play real ball.
The costly Bentley, for pitching,
and O'Connell, for outfielding, should
add much strength. It appears that
Ryan, Nehf, Scott. McQuillan and
Jonnard will do high-class hurling.
Frankly, the Oiants ought to run
along smoothly to win handily, but
not so as to rob the race of much in
terest.
Pat Moran has a real ball club
In the Reds, but It doesn't compare
with the Giants In all Ground strength,
barring posslblly, pitching. In Rixey,
Donohue, Couch and Rube Benton,
Don Patrick has four fine hurlera
The first three topped the league last
season.
Jake Daubert's Illness and Eddie
Roush holding out will weaken the
rluh. They may say In Cincinnati
that Roush won't be missed, but it
doesn’t seem so. Fonseca can hit
splendidly, but his fielding at first
Is not apt to be as good as Jake's,
old as the latter is.
A veteran of 38. the age of Daubert.
he Is likely to suffer long from the
effects of pneumonia.
Because of Benton's acquisition,
and on the chance Roush and Dau
bert will be in the play In 1923 style,
the Reds are ranked second.
Manager BUI Ni'KechnIe of the
Pirates has got team spirit Into the
club. He Is well liked, and the play
ers are behaving. Schmidt, A great
handler of catchers, and a brainy
I player. Is contented, and this will
give the Pirates much strength.
Schmidt held out for months last Rea

It had A bad effect all around. Reb
Russell, Who came In Inst midseason.
I bids fair to keep up his murderous

this doubt, and because Maranvtlle,
at *hort. does not assay a* good as

dined to place the Pirates third.
The Cubs, a young, fighting team,
from Manager Bill KUIIfer down, will
»t>e troublesome, but they do not ns
yet rank with the Olmita, Reds nnd
Pirates. A year or two. and they
ought to lie real pennant contenders
As It la. they have a i hnnee. but It

though. Is pitching Rirkey hopoa

The Cardinals, as of old, see llkrly
to play bang-up Imll In spurts, anil

They are not a pennant contender. In
our opinion, but only a first division
prospect.
Manager Fred Mitchell of the
Braves, saw his "dark horse" club go

does not expect auch n calamity, and,
furthermore, has many highly prom

They are a hustling, peppy tesm. and

Every Pitcher in American
Camping on Ruth's Trail
By THOMAS U CVMMI8KY.
New York, April 15.—B".l,e Ruth
may be pictured aH a Buffalo with a
pack of wolves after hhn.
The players of opposing teams, par
ticularly pitchers, are wolves snap
ping at his haunches. Up In the
stands and bleachers are thousand*
of wolves, yelping and howling.
They pursue him relentlessly, and
are only thwarted when he gets a
homer. This throws them back mo
mentarily, hut they are up and at
him In a twinkling.
Every game, the Babe has to face
it all over again, on a long trail of
154 games, reaching away from mid
April to early October.
Imagine Babe, the buffalo, facing
these menaces:
Every hurler trying with all cun
ning and strength to slay him.
Every outfielder playing far hack
trying to outgeneral him.
Every manager, leader of each par
ticular bunch of wolves, trying to out
guess him. s
Thousands and thousands of fans,
by some strange twist of nature,
ready to rend him limb from limb
if be fails.
It is a situation of surpassing in
terest.
Babe’s weapons against the pack
are:
Great shoulders and bulk, co-or
dination of mind and muscle in a
herculean follow-through swing, a
big bat, and confidence in himself.
He may be said to be lean and
primed for the race. He now weighs
205 pounds stripped, lighter than in
six years.
He says:
’’I feel confident I can get 60 hom
ers if they'll pitch to me.”
From inquiries at training camps.
In a recent tour down south. It strike*
ub that pitchers will pitch to Babe.
They do not fear him as of old, be
cause of his debacle last season.
Babe is now on the eve of his break
into the big league reservation, where
the wolves are, and whether he will
win or lose is about as great In inter
est as his wonder climb to the heights
In 1921 with 59 homers.
Great drama centers in the Babe and
his battle, and the lure of it reaches
country-wide. It would seem a safe
bet, from the talk we've heard in
towns and cities in the south, on Pull
man trains, and up here I t the north,
that the Ruth question ranks with
any in America today in general in
terest.
There is always drama in a man
achieving greatness and then falling
away, attempting to come back. Base
ball has never known such interest in
an individual before; only the prize
ring stirred people so.
We have marvelled often at a real
Ruthian homer, particularly a couple
of years or so back, when there was
novelty in them.
The bat met the bail, and it went
tip and up, far and away, a speck in
the vault of the sky. A great roar
swelled in the park. It was near
hysteria, if not actually hysteria.
The combination of primitive
strength and the nicety of timing, the
doing of things not done before, grip
ped the multitude, gathered from far
and near.
Ruth.'heard th<’ cheers in those
days; he was idolized. He fell from
the pinnacle, and the rabble were at
him. He was hurt, chagrined, woumfc
ed. But he is tenacious. Thats one
thing about him, and he seeks glory
again.
i Only time and ball games can Jell
how he will make out.
