 Tn my opinion it win take from one 10 three years for the National league to develope a team which is capable of wrestling the worlds title from the Athletics.

 lild up a pennant-winning club and once team is brought up to this standard, it is only question of three or four years until the players begin to slow up.

 This is the situation which Chance now faces.

There was only one Ruby Rober, FltzsimmOns. Only one gaVky black smith who, at the age of g. went out and won q worlds championship and for five years successfully defended it. Old Bob set a record that will probably stand for all time in the ar chives of fistiana.
 Fitz was the Mme. Dernhardt of hghtdom. Age did not leave any de- fleets upon him, and he was fighting great battles when other men were past the meridian of their years. The Freckled kangaroo" established a goal that fighters oy the present day Will never be able to touch

Youth is king, and mans proficiency is not guaged by his years, because all of the child ren of the god of fisticuffs are pretty equitably matched in this regard.
 In the hit and get away game of today man past 30 is rated as being on the decline Of his powers. He is looked upon in ring circles tho same as an octOgeDarian. Such a man has not chance of ever ascending to a title, although ore does hold one now-Jack Johnson. But Jack is an exception.

Mack Has Good Chances
To Repeat His Triuniphs

That the Philadelphia Athletics are today inyincible for another year, and probably two, is the belief of Frank Chance, winner of four national lea que penn nts and two worlds champ ionships His statement was unique in that so far as known he is the first national league manager to volun- taIily recognize the superiority of the American league leaders, says the Chicago Record Herald.
 This however is as far as Chance is willing acknowledge the superiority of the younger organization He does not believe that the results Of the sev- eral post-seasOn contests, aside from the worlds series, served 10 give a true line on the actual strength Of the competing clubs In this he un- occasionally is riSht to a certain eX tent. For instance, not even the yer jest baseball tyro believes that the St Louis Browns are the equals Of the St Louis cardinals and yet the former won in the postseries be tween these clubs.
 Reos Spring Suprise
 Viewing the question from another angle, a majority Of baseball experts agree that Cincinnati, while really having one Of the best clubs in me league. as far as individual ability 's concerned really did not figure lO win from Cleveland in the Ohio state championship series on the form which the Reds displayed in the Ma tional league race, and yet Griffith s men turned the trick
 Laying aside prejudice and pro fessional bias, the dope would seem to indicate that the American league is a shade faster than the Nationals but the difference would be but bare ly preceptible in a full seasons play and in all probability the conditions

 Chance Is sincere in his estimate Of the Athletics. and gave his opinion regarding them freely. lie harbors nor the slightest ill feeling toward Mack and his doughty pastimers, de spite the decisive trouncing which the Cubs experienced at their hands in 1910.
 No Weak Spots
 "You ask wherein lies the great strength of the Athletios9" said Chance, repeating tha question which was put to him This may best be answered by saying that the Mack ma chine really has no glaringly weak place in its line mp. First base is the only position that is open to question and l am not qualified to pass on that for tha simple reason that l did not have au opportunity 10 see McIn- his in action. If he is as good as claimed the Athletics are practically without a flaw Davis. of course, has slowed down. as shown in Mack's will lingness 10 allow him to go to Cleve land but he managed to fill the bill in the worlds series.
 Just to what extent McInnis would have increased the effectiveness of the Athletics in th, series with the Nsw York Giants is problematical, but 'Stuny' certainly made fine and dandy record during the regular sea- son.
 Fine Pitching Staff
 Mack has a fine pitching staff, his Outfield has shown it's ability to de- liver the goods, while the catching force has demonstrated that it is good enough for all practical pur- poses. In short, the Athletics are a well rounded baseball machine and ! considers them likely to take an
