to get them in fairly good shape for

JACKSONVILLE FRIDAY

Second Basealan Thomas, regarded
as the classiest infielder in the Cen
trail association, arrived from his
home in Altoona, Pa, this morning, af-
ter his long trip, and will likely don
Ia uniform in the. game against Jack
sonville tomorrow. His work around
the midway station during the last
few weeks of last season stamped him
as one of the greatest fielding second
basemen the Central association has
had for several years. He and Brand
OF Ottumwa are distinctly in class
by themselves, although Manager
Prout of Hannibal was clever.
Jumping into the league late as he
did last season Thomas did not hit
the ball as he is expected to this sea
son. What he lacks, however, in hit
ting ability is made UP in his work as
a sacrifice hitter and in running bases.
He will again be placed second in the
lineup. unless Belt sees fit to make
some changes.
With Thomas back in the fold the
infield will now be able to work to-
gether and Belt can gain an estimate
of its strength. Bresnahan at third,
Sensenback at short, Thomas on sec
ond and Miller around first should
prove a bunch of youngsters hard to
beat, If the recruits continue improv-
ing as they have during the past
week.

methods OF ancient Fred may be

Not many persons are picking D.
troit to win a fourth straight pennan
in the American. Had either Boston
or Philadelphia played early in the
season the way they did at the finish,
pennant would never have gone to
Tigertown, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that these teams will strike a
winning stride early in the season this
year and not permit the Jennings
crew to obtain such commanding
lead.

Boston Without Lake.

The Boston American league team
this year, however, is without TIC
services OF her biggest asset of a year
ago. Manager Fred Lake, who this
year has been transferred to the hap
less Boston Doves Lake was given
credit last year for much of the Red
Sox's success and it isn't on record
that Patsy Donovan, his successor,
ever Fingered up bunch of players
the way Lake did. Fans generally are
commissioning with Lake that a better
fate than the Boston Nationals did not
befall him this year.
Both the Cleveland and New York
teams of the American have shown
much better in their spring practice
than Comiskey's White Sox, who are
virtually new team this year, with
three new guardians for the inner
works, new outer pickets and several
new battery combinations. Connie
Mack almost won a pennant last year
with his renovated team and the Red
Sox set a sizzling pace until near the
end with team that promised no
more than the White Sox now promise.
So it won't do to count Comiskey out
of it.
AS for Ut. Louis, Boston and Brook
lyn in the National. and Washington
and St Louis in the American, there
doesn't seem to be a derrick in exist
ence strong enough to lift them out
of their recent berths near the bottom
of the heap.
An added interest in the Nationals
race this year is the adoption of
strong policy regarding the umpiring
and the protection of the umpires.
president Lynch bids fair to follow the
example of Ban Johnson OF the Ameri-
can in this respect and it is predicted
that the day of umpire-baiting is FIR

Guess Work in American.

SOcSS WORK IN American.
In TIE American league the rapid
development last year of Philadelphia
and Boston and the hard tussel that
Detroit had to repeat for the second
time her pennant performance, makes
the picking of championship team
this year the merest guess work.
About the only thing that does seem
assured is that the first division teams
in each league will not differ materi-
ally from those of last year. Pittsburg,
Chicago. New York and Cincinnati
again look to be certainties in the
National for the upper tier, while in
the American, Detroit, Philadelphia
and Boston appear reasonably safe,
with either New York or Cleveland
having good chance to wrest from
Chicago her berth in the upper divi-
sion.
AS standpatters the pennant posi-
bilities in both of the big leagues have
Joe Cannon beaten to a pulp. In the
National, practically no changes ap-
pear in the lineups of the leading
teams, while Detroit, Philadelphia and
Boston in the American haven't found
enough new blood worth mentioning
New York. Chicago and Cleveland
however, have sewed several new
patches on their old garments and are
hopeful that they will stick.
With practically no changes in the
personnel of the leading teams. the
question simply devolveg itself down
to the proposition of whether these
players will improve over their 1909
form Cincinnati's chances are much
brighter than some critics are willing
to admit, due to this very fact. Last
year the Reds broke lot of new men
INTO the game and they demonstrated
that they We're OF National league cali
bre. That they should play a stronger
game this year is admitted by baseball

NEW YORK, A.-il 14.-Big doings
today On the ball lots of the National
and American leagues.
Providing tight skies prevail every
where, eight umpires will each toss
out new white ball." eight umpires
will each in his finest voice cry play
ball" and in eight cities the sporting
writers will chronicle that the game
was on" At least these quotations
have done service from time i'm
memorial, and there is no reason why
they should be discarded at this late
date.
This is the day when all the teams
are equal and that marks the initial
puncture or the initial impetus to the
hopes of several million fans.
In the National league, Pittsburg
will be the attraction at ST. Louis, Chi
cago at Cincinnati, New York at Bos-
ton and Brooklyn at Philadelphia,
while in the American, Cleveland will
start the ball rolling another quota
ton whose age commands respects, in
Detroit, ST. Louis in Chicago, Boston
in New York and Philadelphia in
Washington.
What will the end be? Call around
in October and the answer will prob
cbly be ready.
