worse than firRt,
I the next time,
and the writer
can do no loss. The Now York Yan
kees, even with three consevutive
pennants and a world's title behind
i hem, should and probably will, can
ter Id the wire in the American
league race this season.
We might dope it one way and
hunch it another, thus arriving at
Hie conclusion that the Yankees
will be over-confident leaving the
field open for a sensational rush to
the front by some outsider. Hut
the fact Is ever preferable over fic
tion, and the fact of the matter Is
that the New York Yankees are
distinctly the class.
They have the pitching, they have
i he hitting, they have everything. In
brief, a foster-father couldn't look
better to an orphan.
It Is possible that Everett Scott,
our slightly spavined shortstop, msy
not stand up through the season, but
i he chances are that he will. If not
(he Yankees might find the going
none too smooth, even with their
laudable pitching.
If any club is to beat them, It Is
the Cleveland Indians, with their
punch, speed and improved pitching.
Speaker has revamped his passe
champions of 1920 with commendable
dispatch, and now has a white man's
— - —
chnnee for the pennant, Hide should
hnvs another great yenr. t'ovelsllll
Is said to have rome hark, and several
young pitcher* ar# about due. Ainu
th« hitting of Burns and Stephenson,
now a regular. Is certain to win many
games. Watch the Indian*.
The Tigers have Impressive lilt
ting, as always, and their pitching
has become Increasingly effective
with every season Cobh lias had the
club. Bill lie has sprung a leak al
second base and it Is our belief flint
|)cl Pratt Is not the man to stop it.
Voting Kignry at shortstop is also
said to he In a bud way. The Tigers
will not go (ar without any sus
picion of weakness around the all*
important keystone sector.
Anything may happen In the case
of the Athletics, a young club that
does not know it* strength or weak
ness. Tha pitching should be good
for the first time since 1314. and
Mack undoubtedly has nddeil a punch
to tha outfield by the addition of
Simmons and Strand, yet it is not a
championship club and only a fluke
will make It one. The Athletics need
more strength in the infield, mote
pep and hustle.
Much of the Browns' success de
pends on the ahllty of'Sisler to return
to his 1322 speed, and the develop
ment of a few pitchers to help
Shocker Otherwise the club is fool
proof. Wo cannot say the same for
the White Sox. They are short of
pitching, hlttlnK and outfield defense
The team has been weakened offen
slvely and defensively by the intro
auction of young outfielders, but the
general speed of the club has been
increased. The punch is not there,
however.
The Senator* are an old hall rluh
with a young manager, Stanley
Harris. He is one of the few young
men in the outfit, .fudge, Rire,
Pecklnpaugh and others being be
yond their prime. The team needs
pitching and a third baseman. It
will do well to finish out of the
cellar.
