The Washington times., 1917-04-30

Having seen all the Eastern clubs
in action this spring, it is possible to
say that three of them will make gal
liant opposition to anything the West
can have. The Griffmen, on their
work to date, are the only weak sis
ters on the seaboard.
The worlds champion Red Sox are
the same old powerful machine. Jack
Barry is showing sense and knowl-
edge as a manager, and may surprise
the world by winning a pennant in
his first year as a team leader.
The Red SoX pitchers are not quite
ready for tough opponents. A rainy
training season kept them back in
their development, but warm weather
will round them to in a short time.
Ruth and Shore won from the Griff-
men, but neit1e! pitchers seemed at
his best. They won through the weak
nesses OF their enemies rather than
through their own strength.
Mackmen Can Hit.
The Mackmen can hit the ball. OF
the team Connie l. now using, Grove r
alone is a weak batsman, and he is
practically lost among so many slug
gers. When the Athletics get steady
pitching. they are extremely danger
Gus and well able to oppose any team
in the league.
The Yankees are being given good
pitching. but their batting is ragged.
Peckingpaugh. Frank Baker, and Pipp
are the only Yankees singing the pill.

promise for good racing is better
