Picks the Tiges
for Third Place

Baseball men In attendance at the
New York meeting were quizzed In
regard to the probable outcome OF the
American league race next season,
and they were OF the most unanimous
opinion that the Philadelphia Ath-
letics would repeat their victory, not
only In the American league, but
would also triumph in the contest for
the worlds championship. The ma
tority OF them had 1t doped out that
they would not make such a runaway
rnce OF ii in the American as last
season, but they could not figure how
any team in the league could beat
them TO the wire or how a National
league club could show sufficiently i'm
proved strength TO beat them in the
playoff
These same authorities on the dia-
mond sport expressed themselves that
three western clubs would occupy the
other first division berths, and,
strange to say, a goodly number Of
them likes the Maps chances better
than Detroit's. Chicago was picked
to run fourth.
The deal whereby Harry Lord and
Ambrose Mcconnell went to Chicago
and the emphatic statement from
] Ike Stahl that he is through with the
game for all time are two of the argu.
ments advanced by the baseball lights
that Boston's star has set, and they
cant see anything better than sixth
place for the Red Sox.
They figure the Highlanders to run
fifth, as poorly as ffth, notwithstand-
ing that they were runners-up to the
pennant winners last season. The
argument advanced by several is that
the Yankees will find Cleveland and
Chicago much tougher propositions
than last season.
Washington Is slated for seventh
and the poor ST. Louis Browns for last
position. according to a majority OF the
wise men OF the game. Ed Grillo

mond roost. The American associa-

they want the major leagues TO go no
