John Garrels. OF Detroit. who re-
Gently enlisted under the banner OF
the Chicago Athletic club team, won
two events in the dual meet which
his team contested against the Unit
versity OF Chicago Saturday, running
the high hurdles in 16 seconds and
putting the shot AZ feet 10 IA inches.
In the latter event he beat Burroughs,
the big Chicagoan who was thought TO

champion. He ran the 100 in even

The western clubs or the American
league have buried the Ratchet for
the time being and viii today begin a
mighty, concerted effort 10 pull down
the Athletics and New York from their
present elevated positions in the
standings. on the side there will
also be a demonstration designed TO
still further confirm Boston and
Washington in the tail-end role.
When the clash is over We will
know lot more about the pennan
prospects of the Tigers and others.
OF recent years the American
league has seemingly strengthened
much more In the west than in the
east. The western clubs have been
making better and better campaigns
each season and last year one of them
won the pennant, while two others
finished third and fourth.
This year the one western club that
inhabited the second division has
been holding its own with the other
three in the annual spring throat-cut.
ting and promises to be just as form
liable a. any of them in the eastern
campaign.
IL looks as II the eastern clubs will
be hard to put TO il 10 hold the west
even, even though playing on their
own grounds.
Whether or not the western hosts
succeed in pulling down New York
and the Athletics, all four OF them
ought TO show all the class at Bos-
ton and Washington. Both these
clubs made disappointing finishes last
season and both have changed their
lineup very materially. Both have
very competent battery members.

Burchell, Cicotte and Morgan, while
Washington is strong too. with
Burns and Patten. The rank and file
OF each team is prone 10 panic. how

FROM PRESENT INDICATIONS.
THE CLUB MOST TO BE FEARED
AS A FIGURE IN THE PENNANT
RACE IS CLEVELAND and this in
spite OF the fact that the Maps will
start their eastern campaign without
the services of Flick. Turner and
Bradley The last two mentioned
will get back into the game shortly,
however. and, as the club is enjoying
its annual spring orgy Of victory, it
is as likely 70 win without them as
with them.
There is no certainty thta the Tig-
ers can overcome Cleveland's present
lead before the return of the west
ern clubs TO their home fields, in
which case the Maps are likely 10 re-

Magistrate House, In the Harlem po-

who lives In Brooklyn and drinks hard
cider should not drink beer when he
comes to New York. In support OF his
decision he pointed out that George f.
Sawyer. of Brooklyn, would not have
spent last night in a cell If he hadn't
committed that error.
Sawyer visited Walter L. Smith last
night at Smiths home, No, 526 West
