shift outfield. While Babe Ruth and
Bob Meusel are doing time, Huggins
probably will have to send Wally
Schang to the garden and rely on
young Al Devormer, the Los Angeles

On paper it looks like the Yanks
ought to breeze through TO pennant
but the race may develop into most
anyone's.
Washington, Boston and st. Louis
have added strength since the close
of the season. 1t would not be a
shock to see the Senators up around
the top from the start and any club
that boasts Of the stick strength in
the Red Sox lineup cannot be taken
lightly. If Dave Danforth lives up
to expectations, the Browns ought to
give the present champions all they
are looking for in the way of oppo-
sition.
The Cleveland Indians cannot be
counted out Of the race. iris Speak

Ty Cobb needs some pitchers and

he may be able to make some kind

spent last season on the bench and
who is in line for the same duty this
