Along with the Cock Robins blush
ing yiolets, cOlds-in-the-head. poets
and other signs Of spring. the base
ball prophets awOke from a long, long
sleep today. They admitted, however,
that even though they were prophets
they couldn't guess which OF the six
teen teams that started the season
today. would get the big type in the
fash extras next October.
The Red SoX, who got all the
grapes last year, were playing today
on their own grounds. with a pennant
flapping in the Cape Cod breeze.
Whether the rag would hang there
this time next year was as much of
puzzle as whether the National
League pennant would flutter sleep
lily over Pat Moran's camp down in
slumbering Philadelphia.
What the former Feds. an unknown
quantity. will do. has upset all the
dope. For instance, il has been so
long since Benny Kauff had to face
Grover Alexander that nobody knows
whether Growers benders will be pie
or puzzles to Bennie.
