Ban Johnson, president Of the American
League, who is making flying trip
around the circuit, reached Washington
yesterday.
L am simply going the rounds to dis
cuss several matters with the different
magnates." said the league official at the
New Willard last night And I find
everything in good shape The majority
of the clubs have been so evenly matched
in past years that We have had some in
teresting races, but unless 1 miss lhy
guess the fight for the pennant this sea-
son viii be the greatest ever.
The clubs that were weakest last year
have been strengthened. and the league
looks so we'll balanced that it is inpossl-
bic to pick the winner. Detroit can be
depended upon to improve on the show
ing made thus far. and I think Washing
ton viii cut a bigger figure in the race
than ever before"
