The Brave Outlook

With Evers back in harness and with
James, Rudolph and Tyler at top form
fe stll figure Boston has the best club
b the older circuit
But there are other things to consider.
] Is by no means certain that James,
Tyler and Rudolph will regain the un-
eeatable form which marked their pitch
ng last summer. And as important as
.hls, Il must be remembered that while
iAst summer nearly every entry curled
" and quit before the furious drive OF
ne Braves. this summer there will be
stler nghting to the end. Both Cubs and
fhlllles have shown conclusively that
lhsy are in this pennant jamboree to
suck The Cards are sure to keep hus-
uilg and the Pirates will stick to the
naish So in fighting their way back the
pfayes have a different line of trenches
y lake than those of 1914 They have an
organized defense TO batter down now,
sna only great baseball win ever carry
them back.
