least twenty games which Delahanty
lost while playing the initial sack.
However, the Tigers pitching staff
seems most likely to be the drawback.
Nothing need be said about Mack's
champions. They are the class of the
American league and the world and
ought to romp home with the pennant
pulled up.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
In the National league the two new
managers are Hank O'Day, in Gin
c%innati, and Johnny Killing, in Boston.
Neither has much chance for he pen
nant, although Hank seems to have
the brighter prospects. In many ways
the Reds are q good team, but there
seems to have been a lack of winning
spirit in the past, due largely to the
peculiar conditions which exist In Gin
cinnati. Boston may develop, but hard
ly fast enough to be a pennant factor
during 1912.
1t is the managers who will start
their third or fourth campaigns in the
senior baseball organizations who are
expected to make the big fight. Bres-
nahan, in st. Louis, Is beginning his
fourth season with good prospects.
Dahlen of Brooklyn is a third year
leader who may make some trouble.
Charley Doom is the man who it is
believed will be the successful man.

New York looks best of the three

Graw drove his bunch through the
1911 season to victory, even though he

nor leagues New York cannot be left
out of pennant calculations.
Two other new managers Jake
in Chicago-seem certain to make trou-
BILE. Boston has had a good ball club
for several seasons, but a few bad trades
and injuries to several players put the
Sox out of the running for the pennant.
Under a new leader the team should
make things mighty interesting. Stahl
will have the advice of Jimmy Nc
Aleer, formerly manager of the Wash
ington club and considered n of the
brainiest men in baseball. Jake knows
the possibilities in Boston, for he was
the star first baseman of the team in
1910. AS a 1912 possibility Boston
must probably be considered after New
York.
Chicago is an uncertain proposition.
Jimmy Callahan may surprise the
knowing one by keeping the White
Sox in the race all season. His great
est job will be to strike the right com
bination of players.
IN THE UNCERTAIN CLASS
Clark Griffith is the fifth new leader
in the Ban Johnson circuit, but little
can be expected of him. The material
is not there, and the writer cannot see
how Grif can possibly gather together
a winning combination before 1914.
St. Louis is mo- considered, because
the team is in the process of upbuild-
ing still.
Detroit is an uncertainty. Many ex-
perts believe both Cleveland and New
York and possibly Boston will beat out
the Tigers. Ty Cobb told the writer
many times after the 1911 failure that
Jennings and all the Detroiters blamed

The American people may we'll.

THE DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
No public buildings.
No battleships.

No public buildings.
No battleships.
This Is an outline OF the so-called
economic policy attempted by the
Democratic majority in the house OF
representatives. After having wasted
millions OF dollars in fruitless investI-
cations. after having played politics
with the tariff and with public bust
ness to the extent OF reducing national
revenues many millions, the Demo
cratic majority in the house of repre-
sentatives seek to make a record by
Gripping the American navy and by
the stoppage OF internal improve
ments. The American navy as il ex.
lists to-day. is the work OF successive
Republican administrations. Since
1896. the navy has practically been
built twice and has won for the United
States a magnificent victory I'm war.
