NEW YORK. Feb. 6.-Fans around
belligerent Ban Johnson's loop with
leanings toward doping our prospec-
tive winners are going to have one
tough job this season unless all the
signs are pointing wrong. The usual
preseason dope is pointing TO a rather
complicated race with several teams.
II they run true to form, in the race
from April until October
Two new managers with greatly
strengthened aggregations have TO be
considered. These are the Chicag o
White Sox with Clarence Henry Row
land at the helm, and the retuvenated
Yankees with Wild Bill Donovan
welding the baton. And with Eddie
Collins cavorting around second base
for the Sox and one OF the best hurl-
ing corps in the league. those same
SoX begin to stack up pretty large In
the American race.
There are those. and there are many
of them, who think Connie Mack has
shot his wad" that the elongated
tacitician will not be able to pull his
disa bled machine home in front. His
pitching staff is badly bent with the
absence OF Bender and Plank and his
infield cannot boast that It is of the
800. 900 variety now that Eddie
Collins is among the missing.
Then the Boston Red Sox are to be
considered Boston, IL will be remem-
bered. made a great squirt towards the
close of last season and all but over
took the flying Mackmen. And they're
going right back into the race with
the same players and lot Of addi-
tional reserve strength.
Lastly, but not least. there are the
Yanks. They seem to have emerged
from an epidemic OF managers and

one Of the most important railroad
