By. J. ED aRILLo.

It IS, Of course, much too early to pre-
dict the downfall Of the Athletics In the
present campaign. but one can't get away
from the fact that the champions are
shouldering a big handicap already, hav-
Ing won but a single game to date. They
play their final game at home today until
Washington appears there next week for
four games. Then the champions go on a
long trip, playing something like twenty
five games on foreign grounds. It may
be, Of course, that they will show to bet
ter advantage on, the road. but the
chances are against that. Those who
predicted that the Athletics would not
repeat this year are already laughing up
their sleeves, but it is much too early for
that. Mack has a great ball team. one
which really should come back and win as
easily as 1t did last year. OF course, base
bali is uncertain. Sometimes things don't
break as they have and when the breaks
are against a team nothing can make 1t
win But one week does not cut much
figure in q season Of ia games, and the
teams which are now showing SO well
may fall down before long. But for all
that 1t stands to reason that the Athletics
and their followers have reason Tor feel
ing just trifie worried.
Most Of Hugh Jennings batting order Is
SO arranged that It does not pay to pass
one man to get up another. For In
stance, the mistake has often been made
by opposing pitchers OF passing Craw-
ford to get up Delehanty, and nine times
out of ten this, has meant disaster, for
DeiehantyN has responded with q timely
base hit. That is where Delehanty's value
comes In with the Tigers. Before he join
ed the team there were no strong batsmen
to follow either Crawford or Cobb. and
this pair was often passed on balls IN q
pinch to get up one OF the weaklings
Now when Crawford is passed there is
almost just as tough a man following
him. and pitchers have learned this to
their sorrow.
Predictions were made this spring that
Clyde Milan would have the best year OF
his career, and barring accident this VIII
come true. 1t Is the first year since
Milan has been a member OF the Ma
tionals that he has enjoyed perfect heitn.
and this il showing in his work. He was
never faster than he Is now. and when
the present campaign is over he will
class I'D with the cracks OF the country
in fielding, hitting and base running. The
chances are, Of course, that he Will be

being with q team which can hardly be
expected to break into the first division.
