The stock of the New YorlE
Giants and the Washington'
Senators has been strengthened
greatly by the decline in the rating
of several clubs expected to give
them the greatest opposition.
The New York Giants have been
picked by practically every critic
who has looked over the National
League champions as the outstand-
ing team in the league and the best
bet for the pennant.
Opposition Weak
John McGraw not only has for~
midable team, but his opposition has
been decreased greatly. The Chi.
cago Cubs and the Brooklyn Robins.
have been almost wrecked.
The Cubs started as the dark horse
in the race, but when Rabbit Ma
ranville broke his leg the whole
team was upset. The Rabbit will
not be able to play for three months.
Brooklyn, depending entirely upon
a great pitching staff, may have to
go through the season without Bill
Doak. Doak insists that he ias
through with baseball.
Burleigh Grimes, holding out for.
$4,000 on a new contract, has not re-
ported to the Robins. without Doak
and Grimes, Brooklyn would have
to depend upon Dazzy Vance, Ehr-
hardt and Green. and that Is no
pitching staff for a hard season.
May Be Dark Horse
The Cincinnati Reds, although
there seems to be tendency among
the critics to pass them up, may be
the dark horse In the pennant race.
The Reds have strong pitching
staff, and If the pitchers come
through the team may be right UP
with the Giants.
The New York Yankees have been,
great disappointment in the train
ing camp. They have been kicking
around their exhibition games and
seem more bent upon pleasure than
business.
The Washington Senators are I'm
proved over their 1924 form. The
team has been strengthened where
1t NEEDED strength and the players
seem to be attending strictly to
business.
Walter Johnson, showing tho
general attitude Of the worlds,
champions, has refused to pitch in
exhibition games, saving his arm
for the pennant race.
