 Much interest will center in the first clash of the Giants and Che Pi- rates For a long time the McGraw clan has been touted as Che class of the National league. To uphold this reputation it will be necessary for them to show the goods when they meet the fast Pittsburgh team.

In meeting the Buccaneers the New Workers will hook up withwhat looks to be the strongest Captain Kidd crew in years l So far this season the Pirates have waded through all the crews they have met. From which it may be forecasted with considerable cer- tainty that the New York-Pittsburgh series will furnish some thrills The Brooklyn Robins look good ! enough to hold the Cubs at evens, and the Phillies appear to be the best l bet against the Cardinals. At Cmcin ! Inau the Red Birds should be able l to fatten up their average at the eX- pense of the Braves.
