O'NEIL FORECASTS
 GOOD BALL SEASON

Spts-O'NEIL .NyS.
 Proxy Dan O'Nen. who seldom gives out interviews on Eastern in Worcester the other day, when he consented to utter few words on the baseball outlook for the coming sea son. O'NeiI declared they never look ed brighter at this period of the year.
 The league had 6 prosperous sea son last summer and the clubs fin ished in good shape, not only finan- cial1y but from a baseball standpoint some of the weaker teams filling up the gaps so they will be in better shape this year. He figures the race will be closer this season than ever before because the clubs will be equal in strength and several of them will be in position to reach for the top at any time.
 He spoke of the ability of Manager Jack Mack of Worcester as schedule maker on account of the schedule which the league adopted at it's meet ing last Sunday. President O'NeiI said if the Worcester manager had years they would have been good as the one which Mack presented last. Sunday as chairman of the schedule committee.
 OTNei1 was on visit to Edward F. Smith, president of the Worcester club. who has been confined to his home for several weeks with severe rheumatic attack.
