prizes at the Iowa fairs for the past
few years and he expects TO start west
with his show herd right after the
Sioux City fair. He will probably
show at two or three of the leading
western fairs before going on to San
Francisco.
1t will be great disappointment to
Iowa cattle breeders If they are shut
out from showing at the Panama

they are asking further information.

This will result in the winners OF the

Baseball Stars Face
Hard Year on Diamond

yet finished third in the way of per-
hitting earned runs. He isn't likely
to drop this season as badly as he did
tered as favorite.
But with no great margin. Leonard
last year allowed a smaller percentage
Of earned runs than Johnson ever al
lowed His average was l.01 TO the
fore was 1.07. So. the Washington star
must travel at his best clip to beat
cut such entries as Leonard, Foster or
Ray Caldwell, if this worthy settles
down to the main business at hand.
Bill James has a better chance than
any other to lead the National League,
although Doak is a fine young pitcher
with a chance to repeat. Another star
to be figured on is Alexander, of the
Phillles. But there is no one man in
the National like Johnson in the Ameri-
can, so the final outcome there is more
Of gamble. Another youngster to be
considered is Pfeffer of Brooklyn. who
had a grand year on top of the Pegging
Pen.
Along the Towpaths.
Fritz Maisel and George Burns, two
youngsters, supplanted Clyde Milan
and Max Carey as the best base run
ners in the game last season.
Maisel proved to be one of the great
est base pilferers Of all time. The
midget only batted 238, yet he an
ueXed "a stolen bases, is beyond Eddie
Collins. who batted 3i4 and twice as
many as Clyde Milan, the ex-champ.,
secured with an average Of .295.
II Maisel ever batted around 900 he
would steal every base left in the game
and probably wind up by burglarizinR
the grandstand. lie is undoubtedly the
swiftest streak that has started from
first 10 second or second to third in
many a year If he can bat .238 and
lead Cobb, Collins and Milan by half
dozen blocks. his olive wreath seems
fairly safe for a while at least
George Burns, Of the Giants, is 800
hitter, and one Of the fastest men in
the game He has al least an even
chance against any other one man in
the league, with shade 20 spare
Carey and Bescher are his closest
rivals, but both slumped badly last
season. Buck HerZog and Cosy Dolan
are two more to be watched, but Burns
must be established the favorite, for
he is as fast as any of those mentioned
and much better hitter.
Competition should be keen in all
lines this season. for Their. has been
such q general shifting and so many
changes that iaded ambitions will be
stirred back 70 life again and play will
be Of higher and harder order.
Enough first class youngsters have en-
tered the portal of big league play TO
keep the old pep boiling and to keep
veterans working TO prove their day is
not yet over.
