T\HE games are on. the seasons
here, the batters fan the at
mosphere. The runners round
the bases tear. The umpire
calls the strikes and balls and puts the
runners out when they are in, nor
heeds the rooters' angry din. The sea
sons here, the same old muss, and on
the seats the same old us.
Thus sang the spring poet when 1 in
terrupted his reveries few days ago
and asked him what the soothsayer
had discovered in the baseball horo-
scope for 1912.
l listened for few hours to my poet
friend as he philosophical on the out
look for the baseball season.
But" he also added, "the persons
who try to guess months ahead as to
what teams would win the pennants
are apt to have their dope upset. In
most cases some contingency comes
INTO pennant race and upsets at least
some of the calculations Of the experts.
A team that just now, for instance,
looks like u sure winner might easily
be put out of the running by the ILL

nor leagues New York cannot bs left
out of pennant calculations.

out or pennant calculations.
Two other new managers - Jake
Stahl in Boston and Jimmy Callahan
in Chicago-seem certain to make trou-
bic. 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 one 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 1912 possibility Boston
must probably be considered after New
York.
chicago Is an uncertain proposition.
Jimmy Callahan may surprise the
knowing ones 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
winning combination before 1914.
ST Louis Is not 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

| 1t on the injury to Gamer, the young
first baseman. They pointed to at
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
cinnati. and Johnny Killing, in Boston.
Neither has much chance for the pen
nant, although Hank seems to have
the brighter prospects. In many ways
the Reds are 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 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
| ager in his third trial for the flag. The
Phillies, with superb pitching staff
and n splendid fielding and batting
team. are looked upon as the genuine
dark horses"
New York looks best Of the three
teams with veteran managers. Nc
Graw drove his bunch through the
1911 season to victory, even though he
did not have what the majority Of the
experts considered the best club in
the National league. Even his worst
enemies admire McGraw's managerial
ability. and the Giants will always be
dangerous in the senior league cam
paign 80 long as Mathewson is a win
ming pitcher and is aided by a couple
of others.
Chicago and Pittsburgh are looked
upon as about 'all in" There are too
many veterans, who are bound to 90
back sooner or later. Take Wagner.
Leach and Clarke away from the Pi-
rates and there is not pennant strength
left. Clarke has announced his deter
mination to quit active playing. but
few think him serious. Suppose the
Cubs were to lose Tinker and Sheck-
ard, with Brown aud other veteran
pitchers. The three veterans named
cannot go on forever.
However, we must admit that Clarke
and Chance are managers who are DOS
sessed of baseball wisdom and can
scarcely be eliminated from the limit
Of possibilities during 1912, even IL the
veterans do go back.
From this distance it is hard to see
how the National league race can be
between more than three or four clubs
in the coming campaign But surprises
may happen where new managers and
new players are stepping in.

A Leakage that Can DO Easily
Stopped.

How many people who read
this article, realize the weighty
influence of one little necessity
of life-baking powder-on the
coast Of living.
Yet it is a leakage that can be
easily stopped if the housewife
will only pay little more atten-
ton to the choice of her baking
powder. Some think there is
economy in buying the cheap
Big Can" Baking Powders.
These Baking Powders are not
always uniform, and sometimes
produce failures in the baking,
and the result is that more is lost
in one or two spoiled bakings
than you spend on baking powd-
er in the whole year. The cheap
big Can" Baking Powders
should be avoided. On the other
hand, many housewives feel that
a baking powder is of no value
unless they pay so cent pound
for 1.-THE price charged for the
high priced Trust" brands.
This is a mistake, as the best
baking powder that can be made
can be sold for 25c. per pound
if the manufacture is satisfied
with reasonable profit. There is
one brand on the market that
meets these requirements. 1t is
Calumet Baking Powder, recon-
NEEDED by leading physicians
and chemists, used in millions Of
homes; and given the Highest
Award Mt the Worlds Pure Food
Exposition.
