 FOR 1918 PENNANT.
Red Sox Manager Says the Struggle for the Flag Will Be With Athletics

From out in Arkansas Springs,where Manager Robert B. McRoy of the Bos- ton Red Sox has been arranging for the spring training trip, he gives out the dope that Manager Stahl and the Boston players are figuring upon the Athletics giving them tight tussle for championship honorS in 1915 De spite the fact that the Red SoX won the pennant pulled up to a snail-Hke walk this year. they don't intend en- tering the 1913 grind believing that they are invincibIe and paying the penalty of being overconfident.
 The dope will show that the Ath- letics travelled just as swiftly from July on this year as they did from July on last year, and the pennant only become our property because, un- like the Detroit Tigers, we refused to back up,' remarked McRoy- Then, remembering that Connie Mack was forced to administer punishment to Pitcher Bender and Outfelder Oldring. two of his star players, in midseason, his team was certainly sorely crfp- pied.
 ''The Athletics were just as close to he Red SoX July 1 last summer as they were to the Tigers Independence day the previous year. The Aackites were confident that we would initiate not. It was simply because we kept going that the flag became our prop erty. However, the dope doesn't show that the Athletics have blown up and every soul in the employ of the Bos- ton club is anticipating that the worlds champions in 1910 and 1911 will be hard to beat in 1913"
