 Dial's Dope
Club

Jack Dial. son of John F. Dial of Pembroke street, is a wizard at base ball figures and also for picking the winners in pennant races. Young Dial, who is a student at St. Thomas. Hartford. last year picked the teams finishing one, two and three in the Eastern, American and National Leagues. and now he comes to the front with his 1922 predictions. Dial, it appears, is on fair way to snatch the statistician crown now held by Al Munro Elias.
 Dial follows a system all his -own," his friends explain. After fol- lowing the work of the teams in the early games he draws his con clusions.' The following forecast was based on dope after one game had been played in the Eastern League and after ten contests were staged in each of the major organi- Zations.
 Bridgeport Picked for Third.
 Dial picks Bridgeport to finish third in the Eastern, New Haven first and Pittsf1e1d second. He also picks both New York teams to again win the pennant in the majors, Cleveland to finish second in the American and St. Louis to be the runner-up in the National. The pennant races in the three leagues should end about follows, according to DoaPs dope juggling:

Bob Christie
 Star m Game
By Tad

Fftchburg didn't win yester- day, but it wasn't the fault of Bob Christie. Bridgeport boy, peerless third basen4an of the JackurackS-alSO the equal of any dizzy corner guardian in the league.
 Christie played a magnificent game. Remember in the third in ming when he knocked down F1eIdeI'S d1ISter that travelled at bullet speed? well. that feat spoiled the chance of another run or so for the McCann tribe.
 Bob also accounted for two of Fftchburg's seven hits and stole a base. His single to right in the ninth drove Bach over the plate.
