EXPECTS REMNANT
LajOie Thinks That Nothing but Ac-
cidents Can stop His Team.

Cleveland. Ohio March 1.-The great
est second baseman in the land, Larry
Lajoie. thinks nothing but the usual
hard luck will keep his Cleveland team
from winning the American League
pennant this season.
Ever since the Cleveland American
League team has been in the field it
has been a keen competitor for the
pennant, and each time some OF the
hardest kind Of luck has kept the team
from winning the much-coveted prize.
The fact that I.ajoie had the best bat
ting aggregation in the league last
year showed the ability of the team.
Lajoie is still Of the confirmed opinion
that in the long run the hard hitting
team has it on the "inside-ball" style
Of play, as taught by Comiskey. Last
year Bradleys accident was a severe
blow to the Maps.
This year LajOie says he viii not let
any accident stop his team. He intends
to supervise the training with greater
care than ever before. and unless he
wins the pennant he viii be sadly dis
appointed.

COUNTED ON CHESBRo.
Clarke Griffith Had Confidence I'm
Former star.

New York. March Clarke Griffith
received a hard jolt when Jack Chesbro
announced his determination TO quit
baseball for the year Grit has been
counting a great deal on ChesbTO's help
this season. and viii not let the big fell
low get out of the game without a
fight
There were times last season when il
looked as though ChesbrO had recovered
his 1904 form. but just as he seemed to
be going well he would blow up with
out any apparent reason Jack took
his defeats very much TO heart, and
evidently thinks that it is better to
stop now than TO come back and again
be a loser.
Griffith has great confidence in Ches-
bro. and will doubtless prevail on him
To go South with the team and try to
get back his speed and cunning. Ches-
bro will not be asked to do any work
until the hot weather sets in. and take
as much time as he wants before going
into a game.
There is no question OF salary in the
case. il is simply that ChesbTO does not
think that he can make good, and does
not want TO impose on GriH or Frank
Farrell when he can't deliver the goods.
