Giants Chances Best, While
Yankees Hope to Be in First
Division.

NEW YORK, March S.-The Giants
have an excellent chance to win the
National League pennant this season.
The best the Yankees are hoping for is
q first division berth this year. That,
in substance. is the way New York is
looking at the coming pennant fight.
And there is lot more interest In both
teams this year than there was last.
The monotonous succession of pennants
the Giants won rather killed interest In
them from the sportsman's viewpoint.
Losing last years fag has stimulated
the satiated appetites. Interest In the
Yanks was dead last year, principally
because of the ownership and the way
the club was run. This year the own
ers are popular, as is the new manager.
Bill Donovan. 1t will be surprising II

and q lean year"
with the exception of his pitching
stan, 0McGraw has as good a team to
start the pennant fight as any manager
than most of them. The return of Tillie
