casIonaIy the peam would lose a cou-
pie Of games in succession, but there
never was any sign Of q big slump
being due. The Pirates did not play
ahead of their speed in 1909, but the
Giants, minus Donlin, and the Cubs,
without King, were much weaker
than they had been in the preceding
year.
Even without Vic Willis, their star
pitcher, whom they sold to St Louis,
the perennial pennant pursuers OF
Pittsburg are just as strong as they
were last year. In this years cam
paign, however, the Buccaneers are
going to meet stronger teams than
they met in 1909. The New Yorks,
provided Donlin joins them later and
McGraw develops a couple OF young
players, will be In the pennant strug-
gle, and so Will the Chicago Cubs,
who are a great set of ball players
and who will make trouble for the
leaders, even If Johnny Killing isn't
with them.
The Cincinnati Reds, who possessed
more speed than any other combina-
ton In the senior league last year,
will without a doubt let the pace set
tiers know they are to be reckoned
with. Grifith now commands an ex-
cellent team of kids. and, barring &C
cidents, his men will travel at a fast
clip this year. He has a reliable in
field and a pitching staff that looks
much better than the 1909 corps. The
Reds of 1910 look just about as the
Orioles of 1898 looked-they are due
to come and to come fast.
At the seasons end the occupants
Of the first division ought to be Pitts
burg, New York, Chicago and Cincin-
natl.
Brooklyn, st. Louis, Philadelphia
and Boston cannot possibly do better
than land in the second division,
though all these four teams ION paperl
look decidedly stronger than they did
last spring.

A spirit Of confidence is being mani
tested all along the line on Ban John

Tigers has announced that he will

figures that the men will know one

playing this season There Is much
in that. Last year Jennings recon
structed his infield, and the season
was well on its way before the men
worked together. Now that they
know each other well enough, they
will work together like a well oiled
machine. But Detroit viii not have
things its own way this season. The
