with the National and American leagues starting their seasons to- morrow many fans are speculating on the chances of the two Boston clubs to win flags in their respective circuits. Those who have studied the situation closely think the Braves have an even chance to repeat in the National league and the Red Sox are regarded as favorites for the Aneri- can league laure1s.
 When the Giants secured Loaoert and Perritt it was fgured that this would give them an excellent oppor- tunity to beat Stallfngs men The disastrous showing of the Giants on the training trip when they lost six exhibition games, five of them to minor leaguers, has led to the con clua1on that the much neralded strength isn't there. The Chicago Cubs under Roger Bresnahans have
 displayed fine form and are conceded to be in the running for the pennaht

 The batteries for the Rosebuds were Sepso and Slattery; Riyersides, Dayton and Alpanel.

PAID COACHES FOR
 SCHOOL BASEBALL

There is a controYersy in many high schools as to whether paid coaches should be provided for the baseball and football teams When paid coaches were first introduced in college life, there was a protest from those who took the purely scholastic e view of university education These are days of progress, and now many high schools need a paid coach if the ball team is sSo win any games
 In many cases the paid coaches lare not high type of men. They teach the boys slippery tricks, not consist ent with the ideals of clean sport and their language and conduct may be Tar from elevating. If paid coaches are hired, they should be a high type of fellows whose association will be helpful to the boys. No doubt such men could be found to do this work.
 In a good many schools a combina- 1on IS arranged by which a teacher Is hired with the understanding that ne Is competent to coach athletic teams and is to take part of his time Tor this purpose To many of the tax payers it seems as if things were, go- 1 ing pretty fast, when they have to 1 pay to teach their bows baseball F,,t if the boys are to play interscl7 ooI 1,I contests, they ought to play. them EWeI A blundenng, Iosingk team hurts the enthusiasm of the school. l For that reason some expert coach school life.
 Where the boys can pay the bills themselves out of their own sate re- ce1pts, it is a far more normal ar Fangement than asking the tax pay CTS 70 loot the cost The coach who is hired to do both teaching and | coaching frequently makes a failure of both. Placing the responsibility on the boys for financing their own team, coach included, stimulates their ambition and is quite a little business training Also a well drill. ed ball team is a much better draw ing card to the public, so that good j coaching may pay it's own way.
