it played in hard luck all season.
The school will not enter a baseball
team in the Prep league this year on ac

will play few games with high schools
in their district
Jernigan and Phillips are about the
whole show out there when it comes to

The Tech High bunch have been prac-

But he'll continue to fight in the
squared ring, win, lose or draw. I'M
til he topples through the ropes for
good, he says. and he'll keep on
saving his money so that when the
end comes, he should worry.
Nelson isn't all bound up in his
wife to the exclusion of everybody
else. His attention isn't wholly di-
verified to her. He has a mother
out in Hegewisch, H.. whom he
looks out for, and he is financing
the way of his younger brother

AMERICAN LEAGUERS MUST
GIVE UP LITERARY EFFORTS

CHICAGO. ILL. Feb. 27.-President
Ban johnson, of the American league, has
withered the literary hopes OF the play
ers. Through an order that reached here
today no player will be permitted to report
or critcise the game
Johnson decided during the last world s
series that the majority Of the star play
ers whose names appeared attached to
special newspaper articles We're taking
money under false pretenses' and in many
cases causing ill-feeling by their sun

PREDICTIONS by baseball men
L who are financially interested
in promoting major league clubs
usually do not carry much weight,
because the fans believe that they
are Influenced by prejudice and
partisanship. 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. Conan, the
playwright in discussing the coming
pennant races said:
Nearly everybody ! meet in my
profession believe that the Pitts
hurgs will win the National league
remnant this year. Fred Clarke
has a powerful team and great
pitching staff. With Hendrix,
O'Toole, Robinson, Camnitz, Adams
and Cooper. l don't sec now 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, l think
Murphy has signed Bresnahan for
the purpose Of making him man
ager as soon as Evers blows up. The
Cubs viii miss Frank Chance and
Joe Tinker. That's sure. The
Giants viii be up near the top all
season, but think the Pirates will
outclass them The Cincinnati
Reds may he factors. too"
uT We always been a rooter for the
American league and Frank
Chance is my idea of a real man
ager.' added Conan II think that
Chance will have pretty fair New
York team this year. and maybe
ne will surprise everybody by keep
ing up in the race. But | don't
see how he can finish better than
fifth with the material in hand. It's
certain that the Red SoX, Ath,et-
iCs and Senators will be powerful
factors in the fight for the flag. but
il viii not surprise me a bit if the
White SoN beat all OF them. The
White SoN were out i'm front for a
long time last year but couldn't
stand the pace They've been
strengthened i'm various ways. and
