 Brooklyn Faces Hard Fight.
 The champion Brooklyn Dodgers, who were bit lucky to win the pen nant last season, have been slightly strengthened in pitchin by the ac- qulsition of Dutch Reuther, but are otherwise the same team. They will probably find repeating the hardest task a Brooklyn team has ever set that in Robinson they have one of the craftiest and best all-around man agers in the business.
 The Giants, reinforced by new blood, will present an even stronger array than they did in 1920, and the manner in which they closed in on the Robins at the finish of last seasons marathon indicates that they will be among the leaders of the pack this season. With McGraw, Jennings and Burkett to handle the team the Giants will lack nothing in managerial eff ciency.

Reserve pitching strength is needed by the Reds and needed badly Pat Moran has been wildly l seeking more pitchers and is out to bolster his team in other respects.

Mebbe so, but they will have to lose their 1920 faults if they finish as good as third
 Pirates Look Strong. St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh | Pirates must be figured as teams that will count in the coming pennant race. Both of these teams showed latent | and surprising strength last season and both will enter the 1921 race with added strength in the way of young l blood.
 The Cubs, under Johnny Evers, should make a, better showing than | they did last season, There was some 1 dissension in the ranks in 1920, it is said, and in addition the team was crippled a good part of the time by 1 injuries to players, notably the injury to Hollocher, shortstop, and Bill Killi- 1 fer, star catcher.

 New York.-In a few more weeks the sharp crack of the bat will ring out below the Mason-Dixon Iine. All of which reminds us that it will not long till the curtain rises on Another baseball season.
 And what a season 1921 promises Nineteen-twenty was a good year for baseball, even though the t:Black- White So&' were exposed and the pastime handed one of the haMest blows it has ever received. But 1921 will be better.
 Major and minor league owners alike, regardless of what else may happen. are expecting good business at the turnstiles this year. And in anticipation of prosperous season every club owner is combing the market for players in order to put the strongest possible lineup in the field when the pennant races start

Middletown-WalI, the Bridge port boy, is certain to be a point winner Friday night in the swim ming meet between Wesleyan and Harvard. Wall is entered in the plunge event. Last season he made an excellent showing and experts declare he is sure to mark up some new records this year.
 Wesleyan amphibianS are primed for the meet which is the first of the year.
 The sc1ledule this year includes eight dual meets and two inter- cOlleSiates and is the largest Wesleyan has ever attempted. Williams, captain, Berrien, Peck and Steele probably will compose one relay. Hanan, 1924, how over, is making a strong bid for place in the lineup. Peck and Morgan are available for the diving.

 NIcCANN SHOULD MAKE GOOD.
 With the acquisition of Gene Me- Cam and Arthur Irwin to the Eastern League managerial circle, the organ iZation can boast of two of the brafn- fest pilots in the minor league class.
 McCann should make good here. He possesses personality that ap- peaIs to players. And he is also bound to become popular with the fans.
 He is certain to be a vast improve ment on Ed Walsh, who seemed to cultivate the faculty of continually getting into hot water with players and umps which worked disastrousiy against the I,ennant chances of the Bridgeport team. With McCann at the helm everything should be har- monious, and with n lineup equal in strength to last years team, the chances of copping the flag should be especially bright McCann always clever student of the game and his ability to secure players of the first caliber will be valuable asset to the | club. He should be, at any rate. if the S4,00O salary dope is correct. Eyes will no doubt be ccntered on the dOinSS of the veteran Irwin at
 Hartford. Irwin is an expert on young blood and has enjoyed great ! success in developing rsryS material into polished players.
