weather won't last very long though
and will hardly check the onward
march of spring.

lead at present should prove a
barrier to Boston's success. The
Athletics have proven that they
are as strong against the first di-
vision teams as they are against
the second division clubs.
Up to date this season the Ath-
letics have beaten Boston, New
York and Detroit % times out
of AZ games. They have won
eleven games each from Boston
and New York and six from De-
Itroit, losing four to Boston, five
to New York and five to Detroit.
This gives them only "a more
games to play with the three 9TH
Ter first division teams, and judg-
ing by past performances their
rivals are not likely to gain much
ION them.
Boston has pitching staff SUI
Eperior to that of Detroit, and this
advantage should be sufficient to
hold the Tigers back of second
place, although each team is
lstrong on smuggling batsmen and
very speedy on the bases.

REMNANT WINNERS AND WHY" BY ". c. WEART
BY VIM. G. Weert.
NATIONAL LEAGUE.

Western clubs should land the
first two places in the National
league. The battle for the cham
pionship in this organization is
between Chicago, Pittsburg and
New York, and the two western
teams should finish ahead of their
eastern rival. OF the western
teams, l pick Chicago to beat out
Pittsburg, but the latter should
give the Cubs stiff argument
and should make up some of the
ground which separates them
from Chances men at present.
No other teams but these three
have any chances for the cham
pionship. Neither Cincinnati nor
Philadelphia has displayed the
steadiness to keep up such a win
ming streak that they can get into
the fight for first or second place.
Give either one more first-class
pitcher and 1t would make trou-
BILE for the leaders, but they are
too far behind now to consider
for anything higher than third
place, and one of the three leaders
must take a big slump to give
them an opportunity to get into
the first trio.
While the Chicago Cubs are not
the wonderful machine that won
the championship in 1906, 1907
and 1908, nevertheless the team
work is superior to that of any
of it's rivals, and this is a factor
which has secured many victories
for the club this year and will
land many more before the race
ends. Individually, the Chicago
players have gone back, but col
lectively they are the brainiest
players in the league.
The New York Giants, although
strong on team work, have not
got the pitching staff to stand the
strain of hard campaign at the
finish.
Pittsburg's greatest strengt in
the past has been in hard hitting
and first-class pitching. Neither
has been SO prominent this sea-
son as in 1909, but the worlds
champions have been steadily i'm
proving, and 1 look for them to
make a great finish; finish
which should enable them to beat
out New York, but not Chicago.
The Cubs depend mostly upon
collective strength, both physical
and mental, and this should cause
them, with their present excel
lent lead, to keep in front of a
team which wins largely on indi-
vidual proves, like the batting
of a Wagner or the twirling of al
Camnitz, Phillippi or an Adams.

AMERICAN LEAGUE.

The pendulum of success in the
American league has swung from
the west to the east. After hav-
ing had monopoly on the cham
lpionship for four years, the west
must now give way to eastern
clubs.
l pick the Athletics of Phila-
delphia to win the American
league flag and Boston to finish
isecond. New York, which has
furnished the surprise of the sea-
son, and which is already begin
ming to show the signs of the long
strain, is more likely to finish
fourth than to trouble the lead
ing clubs at the finish. New
York's pitchers were the most
potent factor in keeping the
Highlanders near the front, and
Ford, WARRIOR, Quinn and Others
should not be nearly so effective
during. the last two months of
the race as they were in the first
four. Detroit is the one team
which the Athletics and the Bos-
ton "Speed Boys" have to fear.
Detroit's pitching staff has not
come up to the mark this year
and there is no reason to expect
that the twirlers will do anything
wonderful in the final third OF
the race. In addition, the Tigers,
lit is said, have troubles among
themselves and no team can look
/ for success that is troubled by
internal dissensions.

Boston to fight it out for first and
second place. The Athletics good
