NEW YORK. April 12.-Spring

Sixteen major league managers

The 1921 season starts with the
usual assortment Of predictions and
hopes for success.
Last year at this time the issue
was-"Will baseball come back after
the war?"
This year II is-''Wil baseball
come back after the scandal2"
Executive heads OF the leagues
and the club owners believe II will,
since Organized Baseball has shown
its desire to keep the game clean by
banishing the players which drew
national suspicion on the game.

prosperous season last year. can

Politically the season starts with
an improved organization presided
over by Judge Lands. Technically.
both leagues look stronger. with i'm
proved clubs that should furnish the
hottest race OF recent years for the
championship honors.
Very few critics look to see the
honors won by the same teams.
Cleveland is considered a repeater
in the American League. but the
New York Giants are favored to
beat out the Brooklyn Robins for
the privilege of defending the Ma
tional League flag in the series
battles.
The National League has two
greatly improved clubs in the Giants
and the Pittsburgh Pirates. which
look 10 have the prize Between them.
The Giants found in Goldie Rapp.
former St. Paul third baseman. an
inhelder who promises TO fn a hole
through which the pennant slipped
last year. Manager McGraw was
also fortunate in picking up two fine
pitching prospects in Bill Ryan and
Pat Shea.
Rabbit Maranville will put new
life and strength in the Pittsburgh
Pirates. filing a want that also kept
the Pirates doyn in the race last
year.
The Cincinnati Reds are much
weaker than they were last year
and Brooklyn seems no better than
