Al Handiboe will probably go to Akron.
in the Central League, this year. The
local player. who has done some good
work at different times in the minors and
who was given a chance in the outtield on
the New York American League clab last
season, is almost sure to be seen in the
mentioned circuit WIN the season opens.
Handiboe has had offers from several
minor league clubs. there being one
especially that has been making efforts
to secure him. Savannah wanted him
and has been making overtures for some
time. but it is not likely that he will so
to the South Atlantic League. more be-
cause of the low salary limit than any
thing else. 1t would be rather unwise
for Handiboe to sign contract in the
South Atlantic League when he can get
more money elsewhere and also be where
the climatic conditions are much better.
envy this afternoon to meet the Midship-
men. The Hilltoppers are in much better
shape than they have been for the two
games, they have played so far and,
while it is expected that the Navy will
put up a fast game, are expecting to
win.
Just who will do the pitching for the
Hilltoppers is not yet determined, al
though it is thought that Fienle will be
sent 10 the mOuQQ fleule OF white Is
certain to start the contest, and if all
goes well. finish it. White, on his show
ing against the big league team last Wed
nesday, should not encounter any great
amount of trouble In disposing of the
Sailors. who have seldom been represent
ed by a heavy hitting team.
Catholic University should win from
Johns Hopkins unless that school is rep
resented by much better ball club than
it has had for some time. The Brook
landers are good enough to hold their
own against any college nine in the coun-
try with Green in the box, and against a
team which is only to be classed with the
second-rate ones in base ball it ought to
win easily.
Gallaudet will not find matters SO easy
when it goes up against the Mount St.
Joseph's aggregation in Baltimore, and it
will have to have the element of luck
with it If it is to get away with the win
ming end of the score.
1t is probable that Brick or Battiste will
pitch for Gallaudet

McGraw firmly believes not only that
the Giants will repeat, but that the
Phillies will offer the strongest opposi-
ton against New York pennant clutch

that gets away in better style will have
tremendous advantage over the other.
He considers his own team fully % per

Phillies higher than in 1911.

won his games, while the other still has
his to win.
Just now the Giants are far ahead of
anything in either league. with the posi-

Chicago White SoX. The Phillies, who
