The assault upon John J. McGraw's scrappy legion
will be equally hectic. Cubs, Philies and Pirates,

The Cubland caravan, with Chance and Evers back

a tougher battle than in 1911. So will the Phil

The Early Edge.

Quite naturally the Athletics and Giants carry the
early edge The shade of the dope drifts in their drec

margins and better club in each circuit has yet to
produce the desired amount of surplus stun.
Each pennant winner from 1911 will reach the field
with almost the exact lineup which scampered head
long under the wire last We know about how
they standard about how fast they travel. But
while these contenders have stood fairly well pat
more than frothing rival has tackled additional
speed and power, extensively and defensively, and the
of this added strength up. of course, the

SAYS SIX CLUBS TO
MAKE BATTLE FOR
LEAGUES BUNTING
Ban Johnson Also Hopes
for Improvement in
Nationals.
By BANCROFT B. JOHNSON,
President of American League.

CHICAGO, April S.--With the cham
pionship season only few days re-
moved, interest grows keener in the
preliminary work of the eight Amer
lean League clubs. Many of the
teams are on their homeward journey
from the training camps in She South,
while the players Of the Philadelphia
and st. Louis teams have appeared on
their local diamonds.
The American League will, in a
great measure. justify the confidence
reposed in the several clubs by their
patrons. Last year there were but
two prominent contenders. In 1912
there will be five or six in the strug-
gle for pennant honors.
We concede that Philadelphia will
be powerful factor. Connie Mack
has a well-seasoned club that will
but mishaps will occur to the best OF
teams. The proud Athletics-world's
chEmpions-may be in the discard
next october
McAleer Confident.
James McAleer writing from the
South, sends the glad tidings that
Boston will surely finish one-two.
The young president has something
to boast of in a splendid stan of
| pitchers, great outfielders, strong
| catchers and the brilliant Stahl.
There are those who incline to the
belief that Detroit has travelled it's best
| clip, but the indomitable Jennings and
Ty Cobb are to be reckoned with. The
Tigers are fully as strong as last year
Here in Chicago much Is expected of
the White Sox, and l am happy to say
that l can share in that confidence. 1t
does seem that the "Old Roman
Comiskey, will revel in the glories OF
| many victories this summer. He has
an able, enthusiastic and energetic
manager in James Callahan. That
counts much.
Should Be Improvement.
Cleveland, under the guidance of the
veteran, Harry Davis, should show
| vastly improved form over last year.
| Reports were most encouraging from
the training camp of the New York
| Americans The club is strong in every
| department and should be a prominent
| contender for the flag.
| Washington patrons express great
confidence in their new manager, Clark
Griffith, and we all hope for an I'M
provemeht in the standing of the
Senators next fall.
There is no disputing the fact that
/ ST. Louis has a much improved club,
and should win goodly percentage OF
Its games. ...

Cleveland to display greater amount Of spirit and If
the Athletics refuse to be dispersed look for these
three clubs, with Detroit to furnish of the greatest
battles for second place in the fckle memory Of Bug

From among these three Is no preseason choice
1t all depends upon how Wolverton, Stahl and Davis
manipulate their talent-whch time alone can show.

BOOK IS
most BEAUTIFUL
AMERICAN PUBLICATION TAKES
PRECEDENCE OVER RARE
OLD VOLUMES.

What book 10 the most beautiful In
the world, is a question which has
long been mooted among bibitophAles.
Leaving out Of account the great
classics OF the early Venetian printers,
which in the nature Of things are
the most wonderful monuments Of ty-
p0graphy. what modern books do
serves first place as a model Of per-
feet art and perfect book making?
Ior many years II was believed
that this distinction would be held
by the famous Description Of Egypt"
issued in more than one hundred
Ing his memorable Egyptian expedi-
ton. Most Of these volumes were in
Quarto. containing remarkable engrav-
ings Of monuments then known; one
volume contained the first print Of
the famous Rosetta stone which OPEN
ed the way for correct decipher-
ment of the Egyptian hieroglyphics:
perhaps twenty volumes were In ele-
plant folio, with pages larger than
q double page OF The virg1nian.
This claim to priority has been
disputed in recent Year, by the won
derful volume on Jade" printed by
one Of the greatest collectors OF jade.
Though much smaller than the De-
scfiption of Egypt, this work con-
tanned photographs in color that were
marvels Of perfection. Each volume,
1t was estimated. cost two thousand
dollars
