that every one of the four eastern teams

American League patrons In the cities

reason of her geographical location Is
perhaps the only city which affords these
teams to play exhibition games during

thermore, the chances are that speaker
will last longer than Lord for the reason
that the work of an outfielder Is not near
as strenuous AS that of a third baseman.

A Philadelrhia writer cleverly refers to
Doom and T'ogel as Americas greatest

the nail on the head. Just how great hold

the fact that fellow like Fogel manages
to hold on to his job II must be because
no one takes him seriously. for his utter

else they would be injurious to the game.

While it must of course, be conceded
that the Athletics appear to have the
best chance again to land the American
League pennant, 1t is, however, no easy
matter to pick the teams in order be-
hind the champions. To begin with, De-
troit will have to take brace to be the
runner-up in the coming campaign. Jen-
nings needs better pitching than he has
had for the past two seasons before he
can have any hope of playing a promi-
nent part in the race. On the other hand,
Boston, with Stahl on first and under a
new management is very apt to show
better form than last year, and the team
should be prominent. New York surely
cannot do worse than it did in the last
race, and last. but not least. do not over
look Cleveland and incidentally Chicago.
The Maps are strong aggregation. The
team finished third last year. and that
with Lajoie out of the game for some
time and the death of Addie Joss putting
big hole in the pitching staff. That
team will be stronger this year, and II
Davis has any managerial ability ne

Chicago will be hard team to beat.
that is sure, because of its strong pitch
ing staff, and if Callahan can be lucky
enough to pick up few good youngsters
the Sox would loom up like the dark
horse in the race.
The chances are that the Johnson-Flynn
fight will never take place. Jack Curley,
who promoted the affair up to this time,
seems to want to get out from under,
probably because of the unfavorable cr1ti-
cism that the matching of the two
brought upon him.. He wants to turn 1t
over to Coffroth, the coast promoter, but
it is not likely that the latter will want to
dig down in his jeans and hang up
purse such as the fighters demand, for it
is decidedly questionable if the match will
prove a drawing proposition. About the
only thing that the matching OF FLYNN
and johnson has brought to the surface is
a renewal of the feud between Johnson
and Tim Corbett Both are now busily
engaged telling the public what they know
about each other.

form to work regularly, but late in the

around, six pitchers are none too many
to keep the team going.

DOC came here from Boston, where by
reason of his good work for several sea-
sons he drew a salary which compared

the league. This contract was assumed
by the Washington club and Doc has
been drawing very healthy salary here
without playing up to his Boston stand
ard. Griffith believes in paying players
for what they accomplish and it is rumored
that the contract sent Gessler has under
gone a decided cut. 1t is not at all un-
likely that Gessler will balk at this, in
which event he may be sold to some
minor league club. If Gessler can deliver
with the stick Griffith is willing to pay
him his figure. but he wants to make sure
that Doc has recovered his batting eye
before he agrees to pay him stars

Bill Foley will NOT coach the George
town track team this year. The veteran
trainer has not been signed to take
charge of the Blue and Gray track candi-
dates to prepare them for the winter
meets, and 1t is probable that he will not
be.
1t was expected that Foley would again
have charge of track athletics at George
town this year. following the success at
tanned by him during the two previous
seasons, but 1t seems that such is not
to be the case. Carrigan, the George
town captaih. expressed himself as being
decidedly in favor of Foley. and said that
he wanted him back, but it seems that
the idea was not looked upon with favor
by those in charge of the athletic policy.
Tom Smith, the Blue and Gray hurdler,
will coach the team this season. Smith
has had practically no experience in
teaching the track game, and what sue
cess he will have is matter Of specula-
tion. He will have some good material,
though, from which to build a point-win-
uing team.
