OLD AND NEW PITCHERS

CayIor Looks for an Exceptionally
Successful Baseball Season.

The first week OF tho National Ieauge
season was full Of surprises and notable
Incidents. Surprise In painful form
struck the advocates Of the Boston, Chi
oaeo. Cleveland and New York clubs par
ticularly. Boston and Cleyeland's big
bunohes Of defeats right at the outset are
only additional proof that baseball Is
mighty uncertain. The four clubs named
above were selected by the wise ones 20
finish In the first division of the race, and,
IN spite OF their slowness In getting away,
A. is q pretty certain prediction - place
them oil In that section.
Boston Is supposed TO have a team
which will finish well up II 10 does not
annoy the winner. The teams trouble In
starting off has been weak batting. The
same cause can be assigned TO the poor
start Of the Clevelands. Chicagos and New
Yorks Weak batting does not always
mean a few base hits In the score, but
rather an inability of the hatsman TO
bunch the hits or to hit when hits mean
runs.
Several OF the pitchers OF these clubs,
on whom the main reliance will come
later, have been badly punished when
they faced their opposing batsmen. Es-
.pecially was II true of Meekin, Young,
Nichols, Griffith and Terry. These old
pitchers must "thaw out" In warm
weather before their arms become very
effective In the meantime the young
pitchers, like Hill. Fraser, Payne, Doheny,
Orth Hoffer and Donahue, are doing their
very best work in spite OF cold weather.
Again the cry goes up, Look out for
tho Phillies." 1t has for years been such
a cry as the legendary one Of "The wolf,
the wolfr' and 10 may result In the same
way, with final reality when least ex-
pected. But consider such a thing i'm
probable. The team Is stronger than It
was last year, especially at first base and
IN the outfleld, but its old, fatal weakness
lin the pitchers position-is likely to
loom up again almost any time. The
team has always been notoriously weak
on tho road, and the coming western trip
will show whether new manager and a
few young players TO replace the old will
remove this handicap of former seasons.
The team Is starting of as the Pittsburgs
began last spring.
Perhaps the event of the opening week
which attracted the most widespread at
tention was Rusie's temperance as n
pitcher with the New Yorks. The report
that his condition was excellent was not
generally believed by those who had no
