Giants, Cubs and Reds and Two
Sox Teams Should Fight It
Out, Says Corbett.
ity
By James J. Corbett.
N the eve of the haseball cam-
O paign of 1918 the experts have
made the White Sox and the
Giants favorites to repeat.” Both
; w aggregations look
R i llke the class in
:r ’d;é& f: 7 their respective
¢ %\;l2;}% b 7 circuits, but noth-
S ¥ 2 ing is more uncer
& i Be®s 7 tain than baseball,
Rl e 7 1t wouldn't be at
| AN E g 58 ¢ all surprising to
AT RSR see the Cubs or
{8 N aes A Reds nose out the
%fi AR New Yorkers, or
R S g 8 7 for the Red Sox
T AR 2 (o show the way to
Bt 7%y 7 the world cham
pions.
The clansmen of McGraw go into
the fight this year carrying practical
ly as much power as in 1917. But the
opposition they will face in two sec
tions, at least, will be far stiffer than
any offered in 1917. And so the Giants
who were a 6 to 5 shot in the pre-sea
son wagering of 1917 are only quoted
at 13 to 5 in betting circles now.
The Cubg this year look better than
any since the halcyon days of Tinker
to-Evers-to-Chance. The addition of
Grover Alexander and Bill Killifer has
given to them a pennant look. The
great right-handed hurler turned in 30
victories, or better, for the 1915, 1916
and 1917 Phillies. Glven even fair
support, he ought to repeat with the
Cubs of 1918. If that comes to pass
and the associate hurlers do even fair
work, those Cubg must be regarded as
the most dangerous Giant rivals.
The Reds loom up powerfully. Mat
ty has welded together a team that
looks really great. It has great hit
ting power, superb fielding, skill, speed,
fighting spirit—and youth! The pitch
ing department tutored by the canny
Mathewson may be expected to do its
share—and perhaps a little more.
e
The other five clubs in the Tener
circuit do not figure right now as pen
nant contenders. Drafts, enlistments
and retirements have shot most of
them to pieces. The Dodgers look
weak, and even their most optimistic
supporters do not predict better than a
top section of second division for
them. The Phillies, without Alexan
der, look at least 30 per cent weaker
than in 1917. The Cardinals may land
in fourth place, but even such a high
ranking for them is doubtful. The
Braves appear mediocre. Second divi
sion seems to be their certain lot.
George Stallings is building a new
machine and until it is completed it
can not travel at a pennant clip. The
Pirates have been improved and seem
sure to furnish a far stronger argu
ment than they have for several years.
g o P
The White Sox have been extremely
fortunate. They haven't lost a real
star through draft or enlistment and
the team that Clarence Rowland will
pilot in 1918 will be almost the same
that swept through to the crest of the
baseball world in 1917. It's a great
ball club—a marvelous one—and any
team that heads it to the October
wire certainly must be wonderful.
The. entries for the American
League race show but one club that
ean be considered as a really power
ful rival of Comiskey's juggernaut.
And that is the Boston Red Sox. The
very fact that Ed Barrow is at the
helm of the Bostonian machine is a
menace in itself for every rival. Bar
row is one of the best versed men
identified with the national game, a
great leader, a wonderful strategist—
a baseball genius.
The many gaps made in the Red
Sox ranks by war calls disheartened
the Boston rooters at first. But each
and every hole has been plugged in a
most satisfactory way. Bush prom

Sewanee Expects Griffin Boy to
Succeed Howard Berry as Great
est All-Around Athlete.
By C. W. Underwood.
EWANEE, TENN.,, April 15—
S Sewanece expects to make Chars
lie Hammond, of Griffin, the
champion of the United States inter
collegiate world in April. The cap
tain-elect of the track team will en
ter the Pentathlon, the classic event
of the Penn relays, and Coach Nichol
son, a member of the 1914 Olympic
team, believes that he will be returned
a victor,
The coach hag given young Ham
mond much of his attention during
the past month, aund declares him to
‘be positively better than Howard
Berry in three of the five contests.
Berry carried _ off the championship
‘three years in a row and would have
in all probability been a contender
}again, were not his efforts directed
toward bringing down a few boche
birdmen instead.
In the daily practices Hammond has
been tested and can easily better Ber
ry's time of 23.2 seconds in the 220-
‘yard dash. In the running broad
jump the All-American quarterback
;leaped 20 feet and 6 inches; the 19-
vear-old Tiger has come nearer to
'Thorpe’s jump of 23 feet. The Penn
sylvania star’s best effort with the
‘discus netted him 100 feet and 6
inches; his ambitious rival has ire
quently hurled it 112 feet, and has
over two weeks in which to improve
‘his mark.
~ Berry’s endurance powers will prob
ably cause his time of 4:29 in the
'1,500-meter run to remain untouched,
as distance racing is a novelty to the
Sewanee boy Ned Harris, beyond a
doubt thg best long-winded man in
‘the South last year, has been pacing
Captain Hammond and the trainers
find his progress very satisfactory.
Last week he started on the javelin
throw, which comprises the fifth
event, and experienced no trouble in
handling this modification of the
weapon of the ancients. Saturday his
farthest throw measured 138 feet 7
inches, and compared with Berry’s
was just 6 feet shy of the champion’s
best. Hammond seems to have a
natural affinity for any kind of out
door sport and requires very little
drilling before he masters the form.
Coach Nicholson is highly elated
over his protege’'s showing and ex
presses confidence in the outcome. He
declares his stiffest opposition will be
Gillfallin, of Notre Dame, and Robe
son, of Rutgers, who scored second
and third places, respectively, last
year in the Pentathlon. If anyone’s
judgment is to be relied upon, it ought
to be Nicholson's. He himself held
the world's record of 15 seconds flat
in the 120-yard high hurdles and was
Uncle Sam'’s representative hurdler in
the 1914 Olympic games at Stock
holm. Nor were his track propensi
ties confined to the hurdles alone. In
1913 he was runner-up to Thorpe in
the Decathlon, which consists of ten
events and taxes one's stamina to the
utmost in the two days that are given ‘
to run them off. |
ises to fill Ernie Shore's shoes. “Stuf.
fy” Meclnnis is a far greater player
than was Dick Hoblitzel or Del Gain
or, and Wallie Schang and Amos
Strunk are sure to star in the other
vacancies. These players, together
with tke veteran Red Sox, all directed
by the fighting Barrow—well, that's
a grand combination and one that
surely should be in the fight all the
way.
The Yankees look good. The acqui
sition of Miller Huggins as manager
was a master stroke. The several
deals put through by the new leader
hate strengthened the team—and it
has some new-found and much-need
ed “pep.” Offensively and afield, the
Yankees have power. If their pitch
ers come through, they may spring a
bulky surprise.
The Indians, which furnished such a
strong argument in 1917, have been
weakened by drafts and enlistments.
The 1917 team would have had a
chance in the battling this season. But
the new team looks weaker. The Ti
gers, despite the presence of Ty Cobb
and Bobby Veach, look fair—and no
more. The trouble is the same—weak
pitching staff. If two or three young
sters come through, why—but the
chances are that they won’t. The
Browns have a second-division ap
pearance. So have the Senators. And
the Athletics do not look any better
than in 1917, when they finished last.
. B op e
So, in the National, it looks like the
Giants, Cubs or Reds, while the Amer
ican battle promises to be between the
White and Red Sox, with the Yankees
having an outside chance—unless an.
other haseball miracle' is wrought, as
was the case of 1914,

Feds Use Four of Frank’s Hurl
ers—Only One Is Effective.
Leaguers Win, 9to 1,
HREE out of four Cracker pitch-
I ers had nothing that puzzled
their teammates Sunday at the
Federal Prison. Charley Frank al
lowed the Commodore Feds to use
four of his moundsmen, namely, Ad
Brennan, Gene Weston, Minor Jones
and Adrian Lynch. The last named
was the only one who held the
leaguers runless, while Elliott was
twirling superb ball for Atlanta, and
won easily, 9 to 1.
Brennan started for the Feds and
was found for three runs, though two'
| were not earned.” Weston then wentl
‘ in, filled the bases and departed in fa
| vor of Jones, who made his debut with
| the Crackers. Young Jones was easy
for’ the Cracker batsmen. Lynch
pitched the last three innings for the
Feds and stood the Crackers on their
| heads.
| Elliott hurled the entire game for
the Frankmen, and showed an abun
dance of stuff, Carl Eubanks, the At-
I lanta boy, who was signed the other
| day, caught Elliott.
s s
With the bases full in the fifth, Roy‘
Moran slammed out a homer off Jones,
Roy also swiped two bases and se-‘
lcured a two-bagger. Sammy Mayer
{ had his balting to g on, too, garnering
!two doubles and a single. Walter
| Shay got a single and a triple and
i played a great fielding game. Starnes
jand Reynolds did the best hitting for
{ the Feds. |
s W
In the second, McDowell's single
iand Mayer's double scored one. A
: single and a steal by Strait, a bobble
i by Bailey and Shay’s safety counted
another In the third. Boman's error
on McDowell's drive and Mayer's sec
| ond double gave Atlanta its third run.
| Moran'’s homer netted the next four
{ runs, while Elliott's single, Shay's
i triple and Cozart’'s error gave the vie
tors their other two in the sixth.
In the sixth, Starnes’ double, Rey
nolds’ single and Bailey’s biff gave the
losers their only tally.

Can't Agree on Alex
(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, April 15.—Whether Alex
ander will go in the next draft guota
or not depends on who is running the
draft board at St. Paul, Nebr., his home
town. Sheriff Willlam H. Atwood,
chairman of the board, in a telegram
received here had this to say:
“Grover Cleveland Alexander is called
to go in the next quota, but he is not
officially notified, as we are not yet
informed just when they will entrain
for Camp Funston.”
On the other hand, Clerk Bahenskl,
of the exemption board, wires this:
‘““Alexander has not yet been drafted.
County board has recelved no official
notice for his call. It is doubtful wheth.
er he will be called in view of the fact
that he i 3 the sole support of his
mother, sister and her children.”

Ellam Lacks Southpaw and Strong
Second Baseman—Fans Expect
First Division for Vols.
ASHVILLE, TENN,, April ib.—
N It looks like first division for
the Vols. Manager Roy Ellam
has gathered a likely-looking bunch
of athletes and his team will prove
hard to beat for a high place in the
Dixie Derpy. In the outfield the two
hard-hitting fly chasers of last year
are -back, namely, Mike Burke and
Pete Knisley. The former, although a
dangerous slugger, failed to get up
high in the averages, while the latter
held fifth place with a mark of .320.
Wickman, a recrult from out West,
has been given the other outfield po
sition, while Ray O’Brian is held on
the bench. The infield is a cracker
jack except for second base. With
Kaufman on first, Baker on third and
Ellam at short it will be difficult to
get a hit through that bunch. Marty
Nye, from the Western League, has
been given the preference on second,
but Ellam is looking out for a better
man.
In the catching department there is
Moose Marshall and Nippy O'Neil
Both are young and promising and
would make excelient second-string
recelvers, but neither is hardly expe
rienced enough to have the regular
work. However, it scems as though
Marshall will be given an opportunity
to make good, while O'Nei) is held in
reserve, =
One essential is lacking in the
pitching corps and that is a south
paw. Up to this time Manager Ellam
has been unable to land a dependable
portsider, but hopes to have one when
the season opens, Decatur, Hoyt and
Frock should* make a good steady
trio. while Helfrick and Barnhardt are
promising.
Three Vols are likely to be lost at
any time because of the draft. Burke,
Decatur and O'Brien have all passed
the examination and pronounced in
perfect condition.
The Ellamites will again pry off the
Ilid in Birmingham, the same as last
‘year. The probable line-up is:
Wickman, If.
Nye, 2b.
Baker, 3b.
Kaufman, Ib.
Burke, cf.
Knisley, rs.
Ellam, ss.
Marshall, c.
Decatur, p.

PELS HAVE ¢
Schepner and Hemingway Added
to 1917 New Orleans Club.
Edmondson Is Absent. 3
EW ORLEANS, April 15.—Herg
is a tolerably close guess as to
how the New Orleans Pelicans
will line up and bat in their opening
game at Mobile next Thursday:
Gilbert, es.
Schepner, 2b.
Hemingway, 3b.
Edmondson or Stansbury, rs.
Barbare, ss.
Bluhm, Ib.
Compton, 1f
Kitchens, o,
Bailey, p.
Smith, p.
Perdue, p.
Robertson, p.
The Pels play their first game in th;
Gals City and then return to pla
Mobile on the home grounds Fridav.
Edmondson has not arrived, but is
expected daily. All the others have
been in training since the first cail
in March, and every'man is in condi
tion. Perdue and Robertson have
worked very little in the exhibitioa
games, but are considered ready. A~
thur Johnson is a pitching possibility
for one of the opening games, as he
has shown good form in the exhibx'd
tions.
Schepner, late of Rochester and the
Giants, takes Knaupp's place at/ sev
cnd,. Hemingway succeeds Howard
Baker, now with Nashville, at third,
Kitchens and Peters succeed Bob Hig
gins behind the bat.
Another pitcher's name is .in the
pot, his identity to be revealed in very
short order, :
WHERE THEY PLAY TODAY.
Ame;lcan League.
Philadelphia at Boston.
New York at Washington.
