In the American league Boston and
New York highlanders are picked as
favorites. D.z Philadelphia and Cleve-l

race, while Chicago and st. Louis are
given an outside chance to finish in
the first division. Detroit is an I'M
known quantity, but has hardly been
strengthened enough to be in the
hunt. Washington is not seriously re-
garded.
In the National league most critics
think the race lies between Pittsburg
and New York. Chicago and st.
Louis are picked as first division
teams, while Cincinnati should lead
the second division. Boston. Phila-
delphia and Brooklyn are considered
rank outsiders.

dropped from tho rolls.
Resolutions we're also adopted declaring
that enlisted bands are at present main
talned BY unjust competition, despite an
appeal by the federation to tho President
Of tho United Stntcs. 1t was resolved
to appropriate $500, TO DO used IN getting
legislation that would increase the re-
