/ YNCH z DoPEs OUT SEASON
Head Of National League Figures sis
Clubs Have Even Chance to Win
Championship.

President Thomas j. Lynch of the
National league has figured out that
the race for the pennant this year will
be the closest and most keenly con.
tested in many seasons. Here is his
statement of the situation:
Any one of six clubs has a good
chance to win this year Rarely have
the teams presented more even front.
While st. Louis and Boston do not
seem to be as strong as the other
clubs, still. you never can tell what
a crowd of young players will do, and
pFenney may surprise the baseball
world this season
AS for the other six clubs, it is just
about an even thing. New Works look
good and are stronger than at this time
last year. Those who think the days
of the Chicagos are over may have
cause to change their opinion before
the season closes They are no weak
er than last year, in my opinion. It
was because the Athletics were SO
much faster than Chicago that the
world S series resulted as it did
The team is we'll supplied With
youngsters. Take the purchase Of
Shean; that was a good stroke Of
business. Evers may last whole
season and may not last a week Mr..
Murphy has a second baseman to step
right in there. II that happens, you
are likely to hear people begin to
talk OF Chicago luck and how fortunate
it was that Shean was around No
luck about it; it was planned before
hand.
A letter reached me the other day
from the Pittsburg camp saying that
Leach, Clarke and Wagner, the big
trio, were never in better condition,
and that Adams and Camnitz were put
ting them over in great form. The
men are playing together, and the old
fighting spirit is there II tell you that
Chicago would not have had such an.
easy time winning pennant last year
had they not got the Jump in the early.
months. It will be different this spring,
unless all signs go wrong.
Both Philadelphia and Cincinnati
were strengthened by the trade made

good to be shifted around It puts more
life in him, and many times a man
who has played only average ball with
