ID REDUCTIONS by baseball men
who are financially interested

usually do not carry much weight,
because the fans believe that they
are influenced by prejudice and
craftsmanship But the opinions of
real baseball enthusiasts who study
the game and pay their way into
the ball parks sometimes are In
teresting. George NJ. Cohan. the
playwright, in discussing the coming
pennant races said:
Nearly everybody I meet in my
profession believe that the Pitts
turgs will win the National league
pennant this year. Fred Clarke
has a powerful team and great
pitching staff. With Hendrix,
O'Toole. Robinson, Camnitz, Adams
and Cooper, ! don't see how any
other club viii be stronger in the
box.
The Cubs? In my opinion they
will finish in the second division. /
don't believe Johnny Evers will re-
main manager very long, because
he is too highly strung to stand
the strain. Then. again, I think
Murphy has signed Bresnahan for
the purpose of making him man
ager as soon as Evers blows up The
Cubs will miss Frank Chance and
Joe Tinker. That's sure. The
Giants viii be up near the top all

outclass them. The Cincinnati
Reds may be factors, too"

Chance will have pretty fair New
York team this year, and maybe
he will surprise everybody by keep
ing up in the race. But I don't
see how he can finish better than
fifth with the material in hand. It's
certain that the Red Sox, Athlet-
les and Senators will he powerful
factors in the fight for the flag. but
il will not surprise me a bit If the
White SoX beat all Of them. The

FARTHEST north
AUTO DEALER

The Cadillac Motor Car Co. of
Detroit, 10Y holds the distinction of
having a dealer who is farther north
than any other on the American con-
tinent. A contract has just been
closed with M. r. Potts of Grouard,
Alberta, Canada.
Grouard is situated on Little Slave
lake, which is several hundred miles
north Of Edmonton. While most peo-
pie have a vague idea that this local
ity is in the extreme northwest and
usually imagine 1t as only the home
of a Hudson Bay Co. outpost, or some
thing of that sort, yet, as a matter Of
fact, Little Slave lake is in the CEN
ter of Ave million acres of the finest
grain land in the world. The estab-
lishment of a Cadillac dealer there is
merely additional evidence Of the ad-
vancement Of civilization in this direc-
ton and of the great rush to this far
northern country which will eventual
ly be the source of a large grain sup
ply for the North American continent.
