EW YORK, March 23.-Pre-

is enough.
THE National League situation is
comparatively simple, and that in
the American is even more so. The
Giants (of course) VIII win the pen
nant. after the Cubs and the Pirates,
getting off on the wrong foot, have
made their annual July squirt. The
Phillies will get off on the wrong foot
and continue to run on IL. as usual.
The Braves--but why crab a good
story? Some guys arc being highly
original and are affecting to pick Bos-
