BAN THINKS WELL
OF THE NATIONALS
Does Not Share Belief That
Detroit Can Make Runaway
Race for Pennant.
By B. B. JOHNSON,
President of the American League.

/ might write a novel about the COM
ing American League race, but won't.
l look for another spirited struggle for
our gonfalon. There are many persons
who seem inclined to the belief that the
DetrOits will make runaway race of 1t.
/ do not share in this opinion. There is
no disputing the fact that Detroit will
take the field this spring much i'm
proved club, but there are other teams
in the American League that have been
strengthened. Cleveland, st. Louis and
Philadelphia are sure to be prominent
competitors for the pennant. The loss
of Fielder Jones Is a severe handicap to
the Chicago club. and may result in
! much harm to its pennant chances. Mr..
Comiskey Is firmly convinced that he has
added much excellent material to his
team and is confident that the White
Sox will be attracting much attention
| throughout the year. =
While it Is hardly possible for the
Washington club to win pennant. still
firmly believe the Nationals will play
quite an important part in the coming
| championship race. President Noyes.
| with the aid of Manager Cantillon, has
constructed splendid club at the CAPT.
tai.
1t is a difficult matter to place a cor
rect estimate on the merits of our New
York club. There have been many
changes. and time alone can demonstrate
the value of the team. We all hope
! that Mr.. Farrell will accomplish much
| with the Highlanders. He has certainly
| made an effort to give New York a rep
| resentative team In the American
League.
We hope for good results in Boston.
The team showed splendid form in the
south. but since its return north the
players do not seem to be in the best
| condition. Jake Stahl wrote a friend in
Chicago the other day that Boston would
surely be a contender.
The American League will keep
abreast Of the times by having the dou-
BILE umpire system. Our club owners
will provide electrical score boards for
their patrons, and will see that score
| cards which are purchased will be much
more correct than heretofore.
The American League umpires will be
Instructed to allow Of no protests against
their decisions, and to make the players
| move quickly in exchanging their turns
at the bat and in the field.
Four million persons annually see our
championship battles. and we intend TO
conserve their interests. There is no
chance in the world that our club owners
will be able to provide seat for every

but Stallings says he will hit good enough
to take care Of the short field.
'Kid" at Home.
Elberfeld at third base seems to be
right at home. and his work in the south
makes him look as good as any third
sacker in the business He has been
schooling himself in getting the hunts
that the scientific men of the American
League will be laying down this summer.
Elberfeld felt kind of strange upon his
first appearance in the third sack, but
it was not long before he got acquainted
with his new job. The kid has been
working hard and Is the same old tabasco
ball player, and is going to do his best
for Manager Stallings.
In young Austin the Yankees look to
have the fastest infielder who has broken
into the big league in some time. He
will be carried along, and will be a good
one to have around in case of injuries.
He is a good base runner and good
hitter. Then there is Gardner. who can
play second base in pretty nifty style.
It's up to the manager to decide who to
keep, and he has hard task.
The hilltop team seems to be we'll

it has been in some time. OF the new

Keeiey and Gray did the twirling for
Washington and each one took things
easy. with the result that Columbus hit
the ball hard.
The game was started with the agree

Washington to catch an early train for

plenty OF time to get into their street

Engle, left.
Jack Knight turned his ankle in running

he will be out of the game for a week,

the latter will be a good substitute. Willie
Keller has not lost particle of his old

work has impressed the Yankees man

Charlie Hemphill is showing the form
