WIN Finish Higher-Mack.

Special 20 The Washington Head
Philadelphia, April 19.-~By reason OF the
splendid finish made by the Washington
team last fan. and the strong talent Il;
has FOR most OF its positions, I expect 20
see Il finish high in the race this year.
In making this statement L realize that
a place in the first division win he quite
a feat for Washington. which has trailsd
In the second division for long time
washington deserves a winner. and / be-
lieve, Il the present management is con.
tinued. that the material viii eventually
be gathered together for a strong team.
Manager Cantillon has made some ad-
vantageous trades. and, still better. he
has picked up some sterling young play
ers who have not reached their prime.
Most or these youngsters who played last
year viii show additional promise this
season. This Is especially true Of his
pitchers, having in mind johnson and
BGrns. The former did not fully recover
from the effects OF his illness last year,
although he pitched good bali. This year,
however. his work should nearly prove
the sensation Of the American IsSsue.
Il never predict the position my own
team viii finish in, although I frequently
say we viii make some Of the other clubs
hustle. This is my attitude when asked
10 express an opinion on the Rennanl
possibilities of other teams. Just where
Washington may finish, or course. 1 can
not say. but the team looks pretty good
to ne. and while Il may not win the
championship, II may have something 10
say as TO the disposition Of the flag"

Chicago. April 1O.-President Charles 4.
Coniskey, Of the White sox, found time
recently TO express an opinion Of the abil-
ity Of Joe Cantillon's team comiskey
has a bad attack or pennantitis this year,
and while he refuses to concede the pen
nant to CantiEon's bunch. he believes
that the Nationals viii make a much bet

done for many seasons past. The pres

big asset to the Washington club, both IN
a batting and fielding way.
s"The Senators. as is well known, did rot
hit their pace until late in the season
last year" said Comlskey, but when
they did get started they played first
class ball see that few baseball critics
have picked Cleveland to win the pen
nant in 1903. but do not think so. The
White SOx viii beat them cut, and ! be-
Iieve that Cantinon's bunch wall prove
themselves a big factor in the race.
Cleveland always has been easy picking
for the Nationals. and last year Wash
ington nipped their penant hopes just as
the season was about 20 close. I see no
reason why. If they get to working to-
gether al an early stage OF the season,
the Nationals should not finish well up

SMITH PICKS The WINNERS
Manager of Bisons Predicts Outcome
in Three Leagues.
PbiIIIes in National, Cleveland In

Philadelphia in the National.

Philadelphia in the National
Cleveland in the American.
Buffalo in the Eastern.
H0ws that for a prediction Of the win
ners in the three biggest leagues OF the
United States? Looks pretty good. doesn't
il? Looks better. too. when you under
stand just why the choice was made.
These three clubs are said 10 be the
choice of Manager George Smith, Of the
Buffalo club. on the day that he left
for the West with his players he is said
TO have remarked during a private con-
versation. when he was asked 10 pick the
various pennant winners:
Those who know me, know that I am
not strong on making predictions. There
are too many elements OF chance in
guess on how the clubs will finish what
do you think Of this one: Philadelphia
IN the old league. Cleveland in Ban john
sons organization. and Buffalo for our
own.
Take first the National League Chicago
viii be without the great and only King
the best catcher in big league company.
This will weaken the team immensely.
New York, it seems, will be without
Donlin and Bresnahan. Philadelphia, on
the other hand. will have Covaleski. who
should this year prove the best pitcher
in the big league. and VIII have a hus-
Ting Seam behind him. Murray, who
cleaned up in the Eastern with Jersey
City, has the fastest playing team IN the
big leagues to-day. and he IS due for a
pennsnt. il not this year, at least next.
In the American, no team has ever won
the pennant more than twice IN success
sion, so il is time for Detroit 70 stop.
Chicago will be without Fielder Jones.
Cleveland viii be as strong as last year
in every department except the pitching
box. And there Il viii be stronger. The
great and only Cy Young should help a
lot II Cleveland had been able TO win
as many games from Washington as IL
won from the other clubs last year II
would have had the pennant cinched.
On the other hand. Young. playing with
Boston. had the Indian sign on the Sena-
tors all season long. Therefore with
Young 10 remove the hoodoo, there should
be nothing to it but the shouting.
And now for the Eastern. Every team
seems 10 have strengthened. There is
no logical reason why Baltimore should
repeat. With all men In condition, Buff
falO's infield is the strongest IN minor
league company. e outfeld is good and
the pitching stan very strong on paper.

They say that the turn-down by the
board OF LIQUOR license commissioners has
been reflected in the physical condition
OF the formerly great fighter
Cans has been keenly interested in the
success OF MS hotel venture. and the
work and worry connected with this haa
probably derracted from his ability as q
pugiIist. When training for his last fight
for the title with Battling Nelson It was
rumOred that ne was suffering from tu-
btfcuIOsis and the fact OF the rumor was
published Students Of the game fistic
know that Cans was not himself in that
battle and that the Cans Of cid would
have been a different proposition for
Nelson.
IN his recent battle in New York with
Jabez White. Cans was 50 slow that the
wise men there figure il out as frame
up, as they knew that Cans Of old could
have taken the measure OF the English
man at any time.
Charley White, that veteran of the ring
and a top-notcher as a referee. now
comes forward with the statement that
the white plague has the great fighter in
It's grip. This Is strenuously denied by
Mrs. Cans and Al Herford. who say
Cans is simply suffering from bad cold
and a rundown condition and that he
will need a rest in some quiet retreat and
liberal dose Of the simple life TO be
fully restored TO health Cans is in Pc
tersburg on a weeks theatrical engage
ment and Is to return TO his home in this
city Sunday. when his future plans win
be discussed. Mrs. Cans gives DR. John
G. Jay, Cans physician, as authority for
the statement that his ailments are no
worse than a heavy cold.

James j. Hill Is Optimistie.-James
]. Hill, the railroad magnate, called ON
President Taft last Saturday. he ex-
pressed the belief that If the tarin agi-
tation were cut off short, that II the
oratorial' steam in congress were shut
off, the country would begin great era
of prosperity at an early date.
"All eyes are turned on Washington,
said Mr.. Hill. Some people seem to
think that legislation will cure the
toothache, set a broken limb, or make
crops. Talk and agitation here In
Washington keep people in suspense,
make them forget their business ana
hope for some legislative cure all.
What we want is to have the tartn agi-
tation over with and let the people get
back to work and aid the great wheels
of progress to turn. Then things Will
begin to hum. The outlook is good In
all directions.
Speaking Of the possibilities of agri-
culture in the west and south, Mr.. Hill,
who. himself is a farmer, owning one
farm of 10000 acres and another OF o.
600, said that the two sections are COM
ing forward by leaps and bounds. he
declared that the south Is struggling
to restore the soils, which were ex-
hausted by her improvident methods OF
agriculture, before the war. He pre-
dicted a great future for the south.
