HOW EXPERTS THINK
CLUBS WILL FINISH


Of the teams are materially changed
Many of the new men are unknowns
Then another thing team in the
Southern is ever finally picked. A
team that may look like a half-por
tion Of cheese on opening day may be
strengthened "a week later by the ad-
dition of one or two players SO that
il looks like a pennant winner.
Look at Birmingham last year I'm
TN the gap i'm the infield and the weak
ness IN the batting ability of the club
was plugged by the purchase Of Ra-
fael Almeida the Barons looked like
dubs. This one deal made them pen
nant winners.
The day the Southern League teams
cut down it will be possible to get a
fair line on the teams and where they
are likely to finish. Until then ii IS
the rlwest sort Of guess work.
HOWEVER, emboldened by the fact
- that ! once Guessed six out OF
eight the way they finished, I don't
mind stalling through with IL.
! can't see ten cents worth OF play
ing ability difference among the Biz
mingham. New Orleans ana Atlanta
clubs. If none of them are further
strengthened and luck does not cut an
and play too big a part il will be a
grand race.
The more ] think about the Biz
miugham team the less / think of il.
And vet they won the peunaut last
year with a team thai the Barons
themselves admitted was largely
cheese. They won II with pitcher
and spirit They have most Of the
