Cubs Are Surely Cocky.

Manager Frank Chance. of the Chi
cago Cubs, has that fifth pennant
tucked away. He says:
Put a bet on those Cubs for the
coming championship race, for we will
be safely rooted to the upper rung of
the ladder when the end of the season
arrives. We will get away with fly
ing start this year and 1 predict the
fifth pennant for the Cubs
President Charles Murphy, of the
Cubs, backs up his manager, He says
If Dreyfus or Hermann think for an
instant that either of their respective
clubs is going to run away with the
pennant this year they are in for
rude awakening Mr.. Dreyfus will sing
a different tune at the close of this
season, for the Cubs will win back the
championship, if given square deal"
Clark Griffith of the Cincinnati Reds,
once more has the pennant bee buzzing
in his bonnet He is quoted as saying
that no other club in the league has
anything on the Reds. He figures that
the Chicago Cubs are going back and
that he has a better club than New
York, even with Christy MatheWson at
his best Little Tommy Mcmillan, OF
the Brooklyns, got Griffith's goat at
Hot Springs. The Midget saw the Bos-
ton Reds trim the Cincinnati Reds and
said: $50 this is the team touted TO

Big League Teams
Ready for Battle

While the fans are anxiously count
ing the days before the National and
American league pennant races will be
on. declarations of managers, magnates
and players as to the ability of their
teams come floating up from training
camps. Some managers like Hughey
Jennings, Frank Chance and Hughey
Duffy are very optimistic. Others are
cautious in their offerings.
Following is a consensus of what
the sixteen big team managers claim
for their teams for the coming season.
Manager John McGraw, of the Giants
who never has been given to making
great claims before the battle begins,
says:
McGraw Modest In Prediction.

of what his chances for success will

going to work harder than ever this
year.
"They will be on the job all the time
and if they do not bring back the
pennant to the Polo grounds it will not
be for want of trying. and trying hard.
l don't think there is shirker on the
team If there is he will get off in a
hurry. Give me until July 10 to make
a prediction and maybe ] won't be
ready then"
Manager Fred Clarke of the Pitts

make any predictions. I'VE will do the

have no reason to think that the men
VII not work for me to the vera best
of their ability. That is all that 1 can
ask"
Manager Roger Bresnahan, of the
st. Louis Cardinals, has hopes. He
says: Il am well pleased with the out
look for a good year l think we have
strengthened the pitching staff mate
rally and that was our weakest point
last year. With Cakes added to the
oufield, as we'll as O'Hara. we will be
complete there. The infield was COM
pleted when We got Miller Higgins,
though we have two promising re-
cruits for the second base job. If Now
rey comes around all right and plays
third, I'll have the best infield in the
league.
Il would not venture a prediction
where we will finish this year. / do
believe We'll win more games than
last year and play a whole lot better
baseball Before the season is over we
should have team that works like a
good machine
Manager Fred Lake, of the Boston
Doves, is inclined to be optimistic, but
it is evident this feeling is built on
expectations rather than on the pres
ent makeup of his team. GIVE me a
third sacker and a first sacker," says
Lake, land 1 will put a team on the
field worthy of holding a place in the
first division"

the Boston Americans, has so far re-
