The eve of the 1926 campaigns 1lnd
the war correspondents agreed that it
will be fight to the finish on both
fronts but they differ widely when it
comes to picking the winners.
However, strongly the worlds cham
pion Pittsburgh Pirates and the Wash
ington Senators, American league title
holders, may have been entrenched
last fall, observers now see a decided
menace to the position of both in the
strength of rival forces.
SO far as the National league is con-
cerned, these critics believe that it
will take all of Pittsburgh's conf
dence, resourcefulness, and attacking
power to stand the challenge of the
New York Giants, led by that seasoned
campaigner, John McGraw, or the sem
sational drive of the ST. Louis Car
dinal shock troops, inspired by their
chieftain, Rogers Hornsby. These
three are picked to fight it out for
major honors, but the Cincinnati Reds
and Boston Braves both figure as front
line factors with outside chances of
upsetting the advance dope"
In the American league sector, the
Senator'S, seeking their third straight
pennant, face even greater odds with
no less than five clubs conceded to
have prospects of carrying off the
main prize. Connie Mack's Athletics
! loom as the most formidable contend
ers to most observers but Yankee
hopes, dismal month ago, have re-
bounded under the impetus of an as
tonishing batting spree, while parti-
sons of the White Sox, ST. Louis
Browns and Detroit Tigers figure
these entries also in the thick of the
fight.
The champions in both leagues will
be put to severe tests from the start
for the Pirates, handicapped somewhat
by training injuries, invade the strong
hold of the Cardinals at st. Louis for
opening day while Washington de-
,fends the attack of the Athletics at
the national capital.
In sizing up the rival contenders on
the basis of a concensus among base
ball writer's these features stand out
in the makeup of the rival clans:
AMERICAN LEAGUE
misunderstanding pat on vet
Grams, with two additions in Joe Bush
and Johnny Tobin; Buddy Myer primed
to replace Roger Peckinpaugh at
shortstop.
Athletics-All-arou strength, sea-
soned by experience as 1925 runners
up; Joe Hauser back at first base
and Walter French replacing Bing
Miller in outfield.
Yankees-Terrific hitting array, in
cluding new Keystone combination i'll
Lazzeri and Koenig; Ruth's comeback
an important team factor; veteral
pitching strength.
Brown-Hard hitting outfield corps
of young pitching stars and brilliant
leadership by George Sisler.
White Sox-Well balanced club with
strong pitching staff and veteran
Everett Scott as rescue man at short
stop.
Tigers - Reconstructed infield, in
Gehringer and Tavener; powerful at
tack but uncertain pitching staff.
Indians 1925 lineup substantially
intact with chief hopes based on
pitching comebacks by Uhle and
Shaute.
Red Sox - Experiments in nearly
every department with capable hurl-
ers in Ehmke, Ruffing and Wingfield.

Texas Bank Robber Said to

Austin, Texas, Dec. 20.-{P)- Rebecea Bradley Rogers, 22 years old stenograpiler. faced an indebted ness Of approximately S1,000, when she was arrested ten days ago on Il charge of robbing the Farmers Ma tional bank of Buda, near here, of that amount, the Austin American State Statesman says in a copyright cd story. ...... .. -...
 In reviewing her activities while a student at the University of Texas the newspaper says that Mrs. Rogers was active in the organization of the Texas chapter of the American Historical association.
 During the absence of Dr. Charles w. Ramsdell, professor of history and secretary of the Texas chapter she was left in charge and under took the direction of a statewide membership campaign. The drive was based on plan to obtain 5000 members with annual dues Of s3 each.
 Stenographers were employed and extensive mailing lists used, but only 300 members were secured.
 Pressed for funds to continue the campaign she obtained s1,500 through a mortgage on property in Fort Worth owned by her mother, Mrs. Grace Bradley. After s2,50n had been used Mrs. Rogers author ity for spending the organization funds was questioned and she gave Dr. Ramsdell a check for sl,500, which had not been honored prior to the robbery of the bank at Buda, the American Statesman says.
 Investigation of the Buda holdup led to the arrest of Mrs. Rogers on a charge of arson in connection with the burning Of building at Round Rock when officials of the Farmers State bank there identified her as the woman who entered their Institution the day before the Buda robbery shouting fire. r.
