The veteran Brooklyn manager, who
has fought his way through the Ma

players than perhaps any other mana
ger and with more success from such
material than many another manager,
admits he has bad ball team.
1--WE got a bad ball team and

There Is only one way in which to
figure the Brooklyn team in the 1927
race. Name them 'in the field" sc-
cording to the method of the old.
fashioned trottfng races. Brooklyn is
strictly ''in the field" and that is as
far as any base bah man can go
with 1t.
On the other hand, with the pitch
ers the team has and with a pair of
catchers who can go long way to
help 1t, Brooklyn probably will play
game after game this year in which
the team will be hard to beat until the
final inning. If the pitchers can hold
the opposing team to a few runs, the
Brooklyn batters are likely to run wild
with their bats occasionally in the
closing frames.
Robinson let Grimes go to the
Giants and got Henline for catcher,

BUSH. O'FARRELL CONTEST
WITH McCRAW, HENDRICKS
Joe Mccarthy of Chicago Cubs Conceded to Have
Best Chance to Upset Preseason Dope i'm Parent
Circuit-Braves Are Speedier.

Base ball players everywhere this
Spring have shown an inclination to
issue warning against Pittsburgh on
accountsof DOME Bush, the new mana
ger. Bush is credited by players gen
orally with an aggressiveness that
makes It's presence felt. and he has in
herited good team intact. He has a
second base puzzle in that he has more
candidates than he needs. Herman
Layne. Toronto outfielder, is threaten.
ing to break into the outfield.
Cincinnati has arranged for a num-
Der Of extra base hits from the bat of
George Kelly, late of the Giants, who
will play wherever he happens to find
himself on the field, and Roush's place
probably will be acceptably filed by
Wally Christensen. A good pitching
staff has been made better by return
to form of Arthur Nehf, former Brave
and Giant.
After causing considerable trouble
to other clubs last season, the Cubs
threaten to start it all over again.
A formidable team brought over from
1925 has been strengthened by two
recruits. Elwood English in the in
field and Earl Webb, outfielder. The
Cubs reasonably may expect to get
a good brand of pitching and first
rate catching.
Braves to Be Faster.
Manager Bancroft expects his
Braves to go at a faster clip, basing
his optimism on recent additions.
Lance Richbourg has played good
ball in the outfield in the Spring, as
has Eddie Moore, former Pirate, at
third base. Thomas, Minor League
infielder, has made a fair. showing at
second base, and three new pitchers
have made goods in Edwards, Dart
mouth product; knight, formerly of
the Phillies, and Robertson, once
White Sox.
Brooklyn goes to bat with a good
pitching staff and excellent array of
catchers, strengthened by the addi-
tion of Henline, Manager Robinson
has not yet been able to strike an
effective infield combination, and the
fate of his team may depend on his
success in this arrangement.
Stuffy McInnis. making his man
agerial bow with the Phillies, thinks
he will get his team out of the cellar.
He will depend on Fresco Thompson,
sensational young Minor League in
fielder, and some improved pitching
to turn the trick. Pruett has re-
turned to the majors to help him
and Taber, a southpaw semi-pro, may
become regular.
