GIANT ATHLETE FORCED

Increasing Weight 0bliges Ralph Rose
to Seek Retirement from
Athletics.

Ralph Rose. Of California, the giant
shot putter and one Of the worlds most
famous athletes, has announced his re-
tirement. RaIph's increasing weight and
business cause him to quit.
Rose has been a member of two 0lym-
pic teams. In 1908, at London. he cap

at Stockholm last summer he also made
a good showing.

$50 pounds. Four years ago he tipped
the beam at 30.

Athletics to Be Feared.

"One OF the hardest teams for US to
beat will be the/Athletics. Macks team

the club got together down in Cuba
shows that the stuff is there. It must
have been a blow to those players to see
our boys in Boston during the rich re-
suit OF the worlds series, and think
they will work very hard to get back
the honors which We took away from
them. Connie has a great ball club in
every department 1t is a smuggling out
it, liable TO break up a game in any
inning. 1 think the Athletic pitching
staff will be much stronger next year.
Mack has picked up a fine young out
fielder in Eddie Murphy, whom he got
from Baltimore, and he will fit in very
well. This is a club that is always to
be reckoned with, and I believe the
Athletics will be keyed up to a high
pitch Of efficiency.
The Washington club will also be a
factor in the race, 1 am sure. It de-
ponds a great deal on the pitching stan.

Three CLUBS in
'l3LEAGUE RACE
Jim McAleer Says Red Sox,
Nationals, and Athletics
Are Pinned.
WHITE SoX TO SHOW
Boston President Predicts Eastern
Victory Again in Younger
Organization.

That the American League race will
be a close, hand-to-hand combat between
the Boston Red Sox, the Philadelphia
Is the opinion OF President James Nc
Aleer, Of the worlds champions.
McAleer is in an excellent position to
judge Of the merits Of these clubs. Not
only is he the head and front of the
Boston club. but IL was he who got to-
gether the present Washington club, and
he is therefore familiar with the merits
OF the players on that team from init
mate knowledge OF their abilities. He has
also watched the Athletics very carefully
for a number of years, and is well ac-
quainted with all the points OF strength
IN Connie Mack's fast organization.
McAleer does not figure any Of the
other American League clubs as having
chance with these three.
Mr.. McAleer, in a talk with Jack Ryder,
the baseball expert, gives his views ON
the race OF 1913 in his league as follows:
I think 1t will be a blanket affair be-
tween the three strong Eastern clubs
The White Sox will show some strength,
but not enough. in my Judgment, to make
them serious contenders. Callahan's team
has some merit, and is always dangerous
with Ed Walsh on the mound. Cal thinks
very highly Of his young first baseman,
Borton, and he has a corking good second
saCker in Rath. ShortstOp is well taken
care of by Weaver. but the rest Of his
club I do not consider OF championship
caliber.
The Tigers have not the infield or
the pitchers to make a seasons fight.
should not be greatly surprised IL they
should finish below Cleveland or st
Louis. They always are interesting. but
they are not consistent enough in their
defensive play to be a serious factor in
a seasons work.
