Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, May 5.--Gazing along
the baseball horizon from this early
May angle, one comes to the con-
clusion that the Giants and Athletics
are confronted with husky little jobs
in their efforts to repeat their 1913
pennant winning stunts.
The preseason dope made it look
as if both clubs would have COM
paratively easy time Of it. But the
dope was wrong. And it isn't the
fault of the Athletics and Giants
themselves. They are just as good
as they were last year, perhaps a
bit stronger in spots. The fault is
with the sudden strength shown by the
opposition.
The Yankees were q pie counter
proposition for the Athletics last year.
Whenever they needed a few games
they engaged the Yankees in COM
bat. They battled the Yankees on
twenty-five occasions and won out in
seventeen. The Athletics won sixteen
out of the first seventeen games they
played against the Yankees last year
and cinched the pennant. After that
they presented the Yankees with three
or four games as sort of consola-
tion prize.
But it's considerably different this
year. The Yanks opened the season
with the Athletics and surprised ev-
erybody by ripping off the first three
games, and plainly convinced every
one that if the Athletics figured on
grabbing the pennant through Yankee
conquests this year the Athletics
wouldn't do any pennant grabbing.
The Athletics last year had the
Indian sign on the Senators, but it
is quite unlikely that they'll dupli-
cate their 1913 performance this year.
Last year the Athletics won fourteen
of the twenty-five games played
against Washington.
The Athletics last year broke even
with the Chicago White Sox and too
took fifteen out of twenty-five games
from the Tigers. Will they repeat :?
Hardly, if the two Western aggrega-
tions continue whizzing along at the
speed at which they started the sea-
son. When the Tigers get going, aid
ed and abetted by some good pitch
ing and the mace work of Cobb and
Crawford they are a mighty hard
aggregation to head off. And thew
seem to be doing pretty we'll, thank
you.
Similar conditions exist in the Ma
tional League. Some of the clubs that
were easy for the Giants last year
ar showing unexpected strength, and
instead of being the means for the
Giants to climb to a fourth straight
pennant, they just now appear to be
the means that will deprive the Giants
of that rare honor.
The Giants took fourteen out of
twenty-five games from the Pirates
last year. If the Smoke Citv per-
