it's a fact that grows stronger every

point at this end of the. line, both
teams appear to have Al chances of
leading at the end of the 1915 season.
OF the two the Red SOx look to be
in better trim than the Nationals, al

Another gloomy outlook is the fact
that Bill James may hold out, as he

work in last years series.
Will Stallings be able to hold this
bunch of youngsters in leash as he
did last year? At that time they were
bunch, really untried. without team
work and on a club that had been
travelling in the cellar for several sea-
sons Under Stallings they played to
the highest notch in the base ball
world and if he can continue to hold
them, there appears to be little doubt
but that the Braves will give a des-
perate fight to any team that comes
near them.
The Red SoX Will open with prac-
tcally the same lineup as they had at
the close of last season. Very little
has been doing in their camp the past
winter. All the doing has been
with the other clubs and. taking these
changes into consideration, especially
the Athletics, the Red Sox appear
stronger than the year they won the
