Chicago Baseball Writer Looks
for Climbers to Be Well Up
in the Race.
By GEORGE c. RICE.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-The Washington
Senators are the most dangerous rivals
OF the Athletics IN this years American
League race in the estimation of most
OF the best judges Of the game. For
two years this team, previously looked
upon az a joke, has been pressing the
leaders so closely at all stages of the
campaign that the Maclunen have had
20 keep fighting right up TO the very
last ditch in order to finish in front
asst fall the Athletics were able TO fin
.sh six and one-half games ahead Of
the Senators. but they could not AFFORD
4 let down in their pace for z single
day. The Washington men were keep
inE UP a brisk fight all of the time.
Clark Griffith, manager of the WASH
tngton combination and veteran of the
American League has been regarded as
che Of the wise men OF the game, but
sCmehow or other he never has been
able TO get the necessary luck to secure
q championship team. In order to win
q flag a team has to have a lot OF good
fortune as well as lot Of good players
Ey good fortune rs meant that all of the
good players Will have TO keep in their
best shape all through the season 50
they can help in keeping the team in
front.
GriH has not had that luck since he
took hold Of the Senators, but he has
kept his men right UP in the front rank

tunes. Last year he had Eddie Foster
out Of the game for the first half Of
the season. and Foster WAS one of the
most important cOgs in his machine.

SEIYO MARU MAY
AWAIT CRUISER
FROM JAPAN

The Togo Kisen kaisha liner SeiyO
Maru, representing an investment OF
more than $2.000.000, together with a
valuable cargo from Mexico, Central
and South American ports. which has
ridden at anchor off the port OF Homo
lulu for the past several days. steam
ed away at an early hour last even
ing, its destination being given as
Japan ports.
That the Seiyo Maru is yet in easy
running distance of the Hawaiian Is
lands is the opinion today held by
local Japanese who favor the idea that
the vessel will not venture far from a
friendly port unless positively advised
Of the near approach of a Japanese
cruiser. The Seiyo Maru carries in
transit about 1000 passengers in the
first, second and third classes. Among
the latter are several hundred Chinese
and East Indians. who yesterday were
reported as having become FESTIVE
at the enforced delay of the vessel.
Captain Hashimoto visited Honolu.
III shortly before o'clock last night,
called for cables and paid his respects
to the Japanese consular representa-
tive before departure. 1t appeared to
be the general impression of officers
in the Seiyo Maru that several Ger
man cruisers were operating along the
coast of Asia.

the presence of steamer on the hori-

and Mariana had steamed from the
port. The Mariana, now one full week
behind its schedule, is thought might
turn up along the south Pacific coast,
should rumors of German cruisers con-
tinue to come in from around San
Francisco.
The two British vessels which for a
week have been an object of curiosity
to waterfronters disappeared within 20
minutes of each other last night. At
an earlier hour in the evening, the
japanese Seiyo Maru departed in
Southwesterly direction.

ROBERT HORNER SAID
TOBE WINNING VOTES

Robert Horner, candidate for su-
pervisor on the Republican ticket, is
winning good many votes, say his
adherents, because of his platform of
business efficiency and the belief that
he has both the inclination and the
time to devote to public service. He
was one Of the speakers at the Aala
Park meeting on Saturday night who
made very good Impression in the
short tine allotted him. The list Of
supervisorial candidates so far an.
nonnced is admittedly short on men
with proved business ability and
Horner's friends believe that he will
be nominated because Of his business
experience.
