First, the death Of the leaders
son last year was such q stunning
blow that 1t seemed he never would
drift back to baseball with the
same enthusiasm OF old. He perlSed
up somewhat near the close Of the
last campaign, but WASH the same
fighting, snarling general who
asked nor gave no quarter.
Secondly, Dunnie is growing
older. He, as much as anybody
else. must realize he cannot con-
tinue forever to give the unlimited
study and energy to baseball he has
given in the past. Jacks brain is
still as alert as ever. He appre.
ciates the few facts mentioned here
beyond doubt. indication Of as
much has been plainly given. He
no longer joshes with his boys, as
was once his wont. Nor does he
scramble into uniform for each

participant playing some position or
another display az much pep as
anybody.

along to them by the big chief.
OF evenings Jack is seldom to be
seen sitting about the hotel lobby
tanning with his men. He can
nearly always be found in his room
at night and even takes his dinner
there.
Several days ago, becoming tired
OF sitting around, Dunn told the
writer he would never again make a
Southern training trip with his club.
He may change his mind--he often
does--but he said as much Just the
same.
Still another incident that the
famed leader Of the Flock is losing
interest took place during the Oriole.

the score to 2, and Wesol as wild

Hark to the dope.
According to those estimable
gents who follow baseball closely,
the time is ripe for both New
York clubs to lose their titles, the
Giants by considerable margin,
the Yankees by a hair. The dope
calls for these things, they opine.
The New York Yankees, with
three pennants and one world
series triumph behind them, may
falter because of overconfidence,
coupled with the breakdown of at
least two pitchers and Everett
Scott, the veteran shortstop. Joe
Bush is already bothered with a
lame arm. This may be the first
sign of his utter collapse. How
ever, even minus Scott and two
veteran hurlers, the Yankees can
take lot of punishment before
succumbing to the inevitable.
The Giants, also winners of the
last three remnants in their league,
are said to be due for a tumble.
Their pitching staff may fail to
weather the storm. In that case,
from what we saw of the team
in Florida, it will hardly be able
to stave off the hard-fighting
Cincinnati Reds or the Pittsburgh
Pirates. The Giants were far
from impressive in Florida, if that
counts for anything.
VIII Be Good Thing.
TT WILL be a good thing for
baseball in general to have
- both New York clubs fail to
win remnants this year. Their
consecutive triumphs have spread
a heavy blanket over the other
teams for at least two years. 1t
would be an excellent thing for
one Western and one Eastern club
to win, thus bringing back the.
lntersectional interest shown when
the Cleveland Indians fought the
Brooklyn Dodgers in 1920.
According to the dope, Cleve-
land and Detroit rate the most
likely rivals of the Yankees for
the American League banner of
1924. The Cleveland club, as we
saw it in Florida, looked the best
OF seven big league teams we saw
in action. The Indians were a
wonderful machine, both on of
tense and defense. Their single
weakness may be in the box, but
i Speakers pitchers hold out,
cleveland may land its second big
league pennant.
Ty Cobb's Detroit Tigers hard
iy shape up on paper as strong
as the Indians. In actual play,
though, they may be. even strong
er. The dope is against them,
however, until it is known for a
certainty just what sort of hurting
they will have and who will play
second base.

nOES baseball dope count for
anything?
- The best reply is to point
out the furore when some team
is said to "upset the dope"
Yes, the dope does count for
much in baseball. 1t is based on
records in many cases extending
over a long period of years. For
instance, the dope says Ty Cobb
will easily hit for more than 800.
1t would be a big upset to have
him finish the 1924 campaign
with batting average of, say,
only .287.
The dope says that both New
York clubs are in danger of los
ing their pennant crowns. For
instance, no club in the big show
has ever won four flags in a row.
In twenty-four years the Yankees
alone have turned the trick in
the American League of winning
three consecutive remnants.
Looking over the records run
ming back to 1876 in the National
League, we note that Boston won
in 1891, 1892 and 1893; Chicago
in 80, '81 and '82 and again in
1906, 1907 and 1908; that New
York won in 1911, 1912 and 1918
and again in 1921, 1922 and 1923;
that Pittsburgh won in 1901, 1902
and 1908, and that, the old Balti-
more Orioles were winners in
1894, 1895 and 1895. Seven
times has this trick been turned,
but never since 1875 has Ma
tional League club won four titles
in succession. So much for the
dope.

out of Jack Hendricks great col
lection of veterans, they should
begin to cause trouble in the old
league and it would not be sur
prising to find the Reds winning
the pennant.
Pennant winners, almost with.
out exception, have capable pitch
ing. That is where the Reds
shine. They have an excellent
staff Of veteran hurlers, backed
by two fine catchers in Hargrave
and Wingo, a woodworking in
field and a clouting outfield trio.
Without having seen the Pirates,
we like the chances of the Reds.
This matter of hot weather may
have considerable effect upon the
Griffs, too. Judge, Peck, Prothro,
Johnson, Mogridge, Russell and
Martina may all show to better
advantage when the weather be-
comes warm. Chilling breezes
may be expected to slow them,
but blistering suns should force
them to show their real ability.
