Ed. Walsh.
Pitching for a club that had a fearful
time to keep near the 500 mars, and
which did not back up his work with
much of the old time White SON field
ing, Ed. Walsh nevertheless had a re-
marlzable season. The giant spitbalIer
showed once more that the damp deliv-
cry does not hurt the arm, and also
proved that he is just as good as he was
two or three years ago. He pitched
some so games, including those he fin
ished to save other pitchers, he won
something like 500 percent of them
(and all this for team that was usual
under the 500 line) and he struck out
more opponents than any other pitcher
in the league. Another man like Walsh
would have kept the White SOX up near
the top of the circuit and might have
gained the flag.
Walsh came into the big league long
ago, and was a failure for two or three
seasons. He finally mastered the spit
ball delivery, and at once became a star,
his strength and endurance helping his
speed and all round skill through
more games than any other pitcher

MAJOR LEAGUE PROSPECTS FOR 1912

Teams change membership during the

others show revived vigor, with the re
suit that their clubs benefit accordingly.
1t has been considered a cinch, when
forecasHng National League affairs in
recent years, to assign Boston and
Brooklyn to eighth and seventh places.
That gave the prophet two sure things
anyhow, and made him rest easier

Likewise, in the American League, it
has been a pipe to stick Washington

Of the National League season.
The Athletics and Tigers came to the
front so prominently during the last
two seasons that the old evenness and
closeness Of the American League
teams is evidently destroyed-no one
can say for how many years to come.
A few seasons back, the American
League clubs were so closely matched
that five teams usually fought it out
almost to the wire but thar's all over
now, and six teams viii have to re-

Brooklyn, and even the Brooklyn gang

them-and can field beautifully, but is
too weak at the bat to cut much figure

through with the topmOst hOnOrs Of the
American league In 1910 Cobb won the
batting laurels by the fraction OF a
point over Lajoie, but was dethroned as
king Of base runners by Eddie Collins.
This time, Cobb shows at the finish as
the best batsman, best base thief and
best run gerter OF the lot, and shows

Cobb is a slender fellow. rather fran
in appearance, but with greyhound
speed, while his judgment IS something
almost uncanny when it comes either
to picking out a pitchers offerings or
darting around the bases AS an out
fielder, he has few rivals, and shines
almost as brightly in the defensive
portion Of the game as on the aggres-
sive side.
The wonderful Tiger, who almost car
ried his team through to victory by his
personal eNertions at the bat and on
the bases, is a Georgian by birth and
residence, and was not a startlingly
bright light among the southern ball
players before he came TO the fast COM
pany. Inside a few months, however,
Cobb developed into the speed marvel Of
the age, and has held his rank at the
top without a tumble.

The lively little pepper-pOd who man

THE IFS" OF 1911

There is always a choice cluster of

the winter, figure out what might OF
should have been, and sit back in

occur again In 1912?
It is just as vel to think so-what
would life be worth to losing fans If it
wasn't for the 'ifs7?
The "ifs" Of 1911 were extremely
numerous, too, and each Of the four
clubs that had pennant dreams but
failed to win has a good, logical,
wholly believabIe excuse for its failure
to arrive. There were no 'ifs' to
handicap the Giants. McGraw's men
went through the season in the best Of
health, and seemed immune to accident
or injury. The Cubs, however, had
Tar more than a proper share Of Hou-
bic. Chance-not only the peerless
manager Of the club, but one Of its
most potent factors in the actual play
ing-was put out OF it early. Repeat
ed thumps on his head-pitched balls

losers anyway.
The Detroit Tigers believe that they
would have won out if Gamer had not
been hurt and If Schmidt had not

are strong, but would not the Athletics
have won out by a bigger margin if
Collins had not been hutt and out Of it
for quite a time?
The White Sox can only say that
they would have dorle better if they
had caught their stride early. Cleve-
