PITCHING factor
IN national race
Will Alone Determine DeS-
tination of Pennant
This Year
EVERY PLAYER
ON HIS TOES

Pitching will determine the pen
nant winner in the National League
Never before in major league has
there been such close competition as
the Tener circuit offers this year.
Every team is in striking distance
If the top.
While there are those who charge
that the National League lacks class.
this charge is not jusihed Inc
gamee are more interesting and bet
ter played than heretofore. II the
class tis lacking, there is a certain
spirit that makes up for. this lack
Every man on every team feels that
his team has a chance at the pennant
and the result is that every man IS
fighting and lighting hard.
Time was when the Giants, CUPS
and Pirates were conceded the first
three places in the league standing
but that time is past.
About the only team which follow
ers of the game do not concede a look
in is Cincinnati Last spring Miller
Higgins predicted that Cincinnati
would play great ball for the first
two months of the season. But he
was wrong-the Herzog entry did well
for a month, then calmly fell down
into the second division. And it will
stay there. despite the fact that II
has some great players.
II the Cardinals were getting the
brand of pitching they got last year
they would be in first place and would
stay there But they are not, and all
that is keeping them where they are
is much heavier hitting than las
year. The 1914 brand of fielding was
excellent and it is this year. II is
not often errors are made. but when
they are made they count heavily. II
appears that certain Cardinals canno
make errors unless they count heavily
and several important games have
been lost this season solely through
errors at critical times
This spring it was predicted al
over the circuit that the Cardinals
lid not have a chance at first division
with Wingo. Perritt and Magee miss

Federals than he ever did with tn
Cardinals, and he would not hav

 SUCCEED [. [. CROW
To. Make Formal Announce ment in Next Few Days. Regarded as a Strong
 Factor in Race

Tn all probability. Romaine Boyd. city attorney. will announce himself in the immediate future candidate for the position of circuit judge to succeed Judge E. c. Crow.
 Captain Boyd. when interviewed last night, admitted that he had given the matter some thought following sug- gestion on the part of many prom : inent members of the bar that he of fer.
 In the event that the above predic- tion materializes. Captain Boyd will prove to be, 1t is believed, a strong candidate. In his race for associate justice of the supreme court Birming- ham gave him S2O0 votes. a larger number than the city ever cast be- fore or since for any candidate; a num- Der larger, in fact than Oscar w. Un- derwood received in his race against Capt R. P. Hobson for the United States Senate. H,4er
 During recent years Captain Boyd has been much in the public eye as leading counsel for the city in its lit igation against the Birriin gham Wa terworks company and other public utility corporations.
 It Is understood that there will be several entrants in the race for the off, flee now held by Judge Crow, and It is taken for granted that the incum bent will ask for another term.
