YANKEES ARE PICKED
TO CAPTURE PENNANT

If you are inclined to wager, go
out and bet now that the Yankees will
finish one-two in the pennant race
the coming season in the American
league. You can get a good price.
Remember last year? With team
of players who had not worked to-
gether, Donovan was leading the
league in midseason Then came a
series of accidents to players unprece-
denied in the history Of baseball.
Baker, MaRee, GiIhooley, Maisel Gull
lop and High all out of the lineup
at once. Naturally the team faltered.
Increased Strength.
The Yankees OF 1917 should be %
per cent stronger that the 1915 team.
In the first place. Frank Baker
hardly found himself last year after
hts long layoT With season OF
play behind him he should swing back
to his athletic form the coming sum-
mer.
Then there is Lee Magee. Lee him
self will admit that he failed to show
he found the American league too
much for him. 1t was rather the
shift to new surroundings. the feel
ing that so much was expected OF
him. and over anxiety to live up TO
his Federal league reputation that
hurt Magee.
Shifting about too much does not
do ball player any good. in 1914
MaGee was in the National league:
1915 found him managing the Brook
Ign club of the Feds. Last year he
arrived in New York and the Ameri-
can league.
Pip, High and Gilhooley.
Then there is Walter Pipp. Pip
was the best first baseman in the
American league last year, George Sis
Ter Notwithstanding, 1t Is natural to
look for Improvement in his work OF
year ago. good as that was.
Hughie High just found himself last
summer He should again prove a
star sunfelder Frank Gilhooley can
hardly again experience the hard luck
that was his last season.
In the opinion of many competent
Judges the Yankees will have the best
battery in baseball in Shocker and
Walters. Both youngsters proved
their merit last season.
The Yankee pitching staff, In fact,
will be second to none in baseball.
It will be remarkably well balanced,
with Shocker. Shawkey. Fisher. Rus
sell and Caldwell to do the right
handed pitching. and Cullop. Mogridge
and Love fiinging from the left side.

In spite of the fact that Captain
DICK Wood was out of the game nurs-

lege's basketers continued their vic
torious rampage at the expense OF
the William and Mary Indians last
night out at Westhampton, getting a
verdict Of 81 to II over their time

of Williamsburg. By capturing the
tilt last night with the Indians the
Westhamptonians maintained their
spotless record, as far as the cham
pionship series Is concerned. and now
only one combat stands between them
and the coveted bunting. Should the
Spiders win this coming encounter
