The Games

In the National League, which be-
gins its 41st session, the initial con-
tests will bring together Boston at
Brooklyn. New York at Philadelphia;
Chicago at Cincinnati and Pittsburgh
at St. Louis.
The opening games in the American
League-its 18th season-will see
Washington playing at New York; ;.
Philadelphia at Boston; ST. Louis at
Cleveland and Detroit at Chicago
Many Of these clubs have been
strengthened, during the past winter
and every indication points to close
races for the pennants. The defunct
Federal League and the minor circuits
have been flne-combed for diamond
talent In some cases famous stars will
be seen in strange uniforms, but once
the players and fans have accustomed
themselves to the new combinations
the general prediction Of banner year
in baseball seems likely to be real
lied.
Boston Teams Favored
While there is a vast difference Of
opinion among close followers Of the
game regarding the order in which the
teams will finish the season, the two
Boston clubs appear to have the great
est number Of hackers, although the
18th hour sale Of Speaker has not i'm

Americans. In the National League,
Boston. Philadelphia. Brooklyn and
New York are generally picked to fin
ish in the first division while in the
American League, Boston. Chicago, De-
troit and New York are favored to fill
first division positions.
In the senior organization the Phila-
delphia club. which won last seasons
pennant. starts the 1916 campaign with
almost the same lineup as a year ago.
Manager Moran believes that the Phil

him. The Philadelphia clan is fully as
strong as last season but the genera.

WHAT is IT.

What is there about the paragraphs
OF the Lakeland Telegram that makes
them so widely quoted BY actual
count six Of these paragraphs were
quoted by one Of our best papers in
one issue. A number of the leading
papers never fail to quote them. Does
this. or does II not, mean that Editor
HetheringtOn is one of Florida's
brightest photographers? Or does it
mean that he is just such a fine fell
low that you want TO honor himf I'm
derstand now, gentlemen there is no
sour grapes proposition about this,
for he is one of our favorite writers,
and we delight to see him honored'
but in all sincerity what Is there
in his para graphs that make them so
popular? If you don't care to answer
this question in your paper, put so
sincerely and So earnestly. then ans
wes by private mail. and your CORE
SrOndence will be treated confden-
TALLY II you so wish it, but kindly he
sure to answer this honest, earnest
inquiry. For long time many
thought Uncle Joe Dixon wrote
those paragraphs, hut Uncle Joe has
now been away so long that It is now
known this is impossible. Mrs. Heth.
erington has also been credited with
writing them, hut many Of them are
entirely too masculine to be credited
to her. Personally, we have come to
the conclusion that NJ. +. writes
them "hissclf," and we want to know
in 'em. Now. don't all answer
this at once, for we are very busy,
and prefer to get the replies not ex-
