Club owners and players alike will' start this season with confi dence. The feeling of uncertainty In some quarters that prevailed at this time last season has been blot ted out, for 1919 saw base ball do p. remarkable comeback from war time conditions.' But l9-( holds forth the brightest promises ever. . The Red and White Sox. cham pions of the National and Ameri can leagues, will start the season with their backs to the wall, so to speak, fighting to retain the honors they won last year.

' Moran's reds will have no cake walk down the National league trait. They will be pressed by the Cubs, Giants, Pirates, Dodders and Cardi nals, if present indications count, And that will be some pressing. Champ Hitters Back. In the American league the 1 1 disns,' Yankees, and Browns, not to mention Detroit, will start out to feed heel dust td the White Sox from the tapping of the gong The Speak erites look like a great ball club on paper. The Yankees ought to make a barrel nf trouble for all comers, and the Browns and Tigers will be heard from. Washington, too, may surprise her rivals. The Red Sox and Athletics are not keeping rival man agers awake nights. With the starting of the pennant faces the champion batsmen Ty Cobb and Eddie Roush will take toeholds at the platter determined to defend their laurels. Cobb, unless he breaks a leg rr something, will probably be dusting along at the head of the procession in mid-season as usual. Of course, there is al ways a chance that some batsman will go crazv and gum up the works for Cobb. But anybody who does that trick will havef to get up early o' mornings. Roush will have more opposition. The race for the National league batting championship should i?e just as hot as the pennant race.

V nau; K yXrs V ; t4vv ;M " The unerring ability of John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, to pick future big league greats was again illustrated when the' manager took south this year Frank Frisch of Fordhani college, New York. The youthful college player has been covering third base for the Giants in the exhibition games with the Red Sox and his playing has marked him as one bf the sensational "finds" of the year. Frisch turned in two long home runs during the series, which both tinies practically clinched the game for the Giants. His fielding has been sensational. The youngster, according to critics, will efficiently fill the shoes 6f the veteran Heinie Zimmerman-, who has' retired from the game. Here Frisch is shown in two poses. He throws right-handed and slams 'era out from the south paw side of the plate. ' Many Years of Practice Make 'Dad' A Good Bowler Veteran Pin Tumbler Is fast 60 Years of Age and , Ranks Among the Top-Notchers. ." When Rip Van Winkle awoke that afternoon on the mountain top (or was it morning?) after his 20 years' of blissful slumber, he saw a gang of little elves bolwing. Well, "Dad" Huntington was one cf the elves. Since then he has grown quite big and strong. He wasn't .much of a bowler then, but now he's a mem ber of the Beau Brummel team, champions of the city. And he's the oldest bowler in Omaha. "Dad" denies that he was one of the bowlers Rip Van" Winkle met that day; he also denies that he was the little man carrying the keg up the mountain side, but he' admits frankly, yea proudly, that he' has been knocking down lO-pins for 18 years. Many Omaha bowlers attribute the popularity of the gaifie today in' a great measure to ."Dad." He is' al ways boosting bowling. He takes in every tournament he can. possibly .attend and always infuses glee and companionship mtc otlier howlers. '.
