SAVANNAH, Ca, March New
ark. Rochester and Toronto will fight
for the international League pennant
this season, so predicts Eddie zim-
norman, stellar third-sacker of the
Bengals
Ed figures that the team which
beats out Newark will win the PEN
nant, which is the same as saying the
Tigers are a 1-2 prospect.
When you sift the dust right down
to the real gold" said Ed today, you
will find that there is not a team in
the league as well balanced in every
department as our Tiger bunch is this
spring. Rochester looks mighty good
on paper but outside of Keefe and
Hughes, Camel hasn't a pitcher who
can be depended upon to win games
for him as Manager Smith has In
Bell, Barger Aitchison, Enzmann or
Gaskell. Quinn will not have as easy
time of it as he did last season,
when he faced a lot of batters who
were not familiar with his style
Toronto, with a number of vet
Grams who are good hitters, should be
in the race all season. I don't look
for Baltimore to be so very dangerous,
because Dunns men have a hard time
winning on the road. IL anything,
NewarlS's best point is the ability to
win as often, and sometimes more
often, on the road than at home.
Glance down the lineup and you will
find that every man who stands a
prospect of being a regular is good
run-getter.
"Our outfield is the speediest in the
league for an all-around combination
We will get the runs when they count
because any one of our bunch is likely
to come through with pinch hit and
our boys have the real grit or they
never would have plugged last season
