Major league teams are either deep
in or getting ready to plunge into the
work of training their clubs for the
work OF the coming season that VIII
he wonder indeed Il 1t Is more ex-
citing Than the last one.
Each boss Processes to think that
his club will do something worth
while. Even Clark Griffith says that
his iCincinanti Reds will make a
noise and Connie Mack AYERS that
first division places in the American
league will not be monopolized again
by Western clubs as was the case
last year.
pThey can't beat us out OF this
years flag" pipes John McGraw from
the Giant camp at Marlin. Tex. 'lts.
a long hard pull from the bottom to
the top" declares Roger Bresnahan,
pbut the Cardinals will beat out more
than one club Frank Chance con-
tends that the Cubs will get their
fourth flag.
American leagues are watching
Cleveland closer than ever, now that
Cy Young is a Nap. That is they all
are except Joe Cantillon, manager OF
the Washington club, who tosses rid
icule at I.ajoies club.
Hist TO what the ex-NIilwaukee war
rior says: Some of the dopesters
have started giving Cleveland the
pennant again What the Washing
tons did TO Cleveland last year was q
sin, and we will be right after them
again. We have II on that bunch
and will continue TO trim them next
season. Cleveland won't win any
pennant and you can make that as
strong as you like. | only wish that
all our 154 games were with Cleve-
land. !"
President Navin of the Detroit
championship club processes his be-
lief that the Tigers will get the third
flag and opines that It Is the Chicago
club that must be dreaded most.
