ready on duty and will remain until
the rush is over. The plan was mi.

Opinions of Critics and Play
ers Are Divided on All
Clubs.
BY Henry l.. Farrell
tied Press stair Correspondent

DHtteG Press STAIR CORRESPONDENT
NEW YORK, March 16.-In this
open season for picking pennant win
ners, nearly every team in the major
leagues is being given some kind of
chance.
Opinion, expert and otherwise, is
divided on all clubs except the Phila-
delphia Phillies and the Boston Red
Sox. They are unanimous choices
for last place.
Picking pennant winners when the
is a. hazard for regulations and
pocket books.
With few exceptions, the predic-
tons of the experts were miles off
the target in 1926, when the New
York Giants were majority choice
in the National League and those
who didn't cast a vote for McGraws
club strung along with Pittsburgh
The Giants slumped into the second
division and the Pirates couldn't
keep up with the st. Louis Cardinals
of the Cincinnati Reds.
GApcIb OplllOD EApiOueO
The most terrific strain on expert
opinion exploded in the American
League when the New York Yankees
dashed away in the first week of the
race and pulled across the finish line
badly winded but ahead
Miller Higgins, manager of the
Yankees, who never has been famed
as an orator or a disciple of optin-
ism, isn't claiming another, pennant.
THE Athletics and the Senators
know what my club will do this
year." he said.
There are others, however, pick
ing the pennant for Higgins, best
known of whom are Babe Ruth and
Jack Hendricks, manager of the Gin
cinnati Reds, who in the same voice
puts in q, boost for himself.
THE Yankees will win the Ameri-
can League pennant, and we've got
only Pittsburgh to beat to win in
the National League" he said.
Hendricks expressed the opinion
LIoL lie WSlCII W nc ll5 VI GU
at all, but many critics think the
Giants can't miss.
Picks Club as Cinch
Rogers Hornsby, who managed the
Cards into a worlds championship
last year and who is now playing
second base for the Giants, picks his
new club as cinch.
1.-THE Cards are a one-year club, :"
he said.
Frank Frisch, who changed posi-
tons and clubs with Hornsby, is
just as positive the Cardinals will
be in another world series.
George Kelly, who was traded by
the Giants to the Reds, figures the
Cincinnati club is sure thing and
quoted the opinion of Heinie Groh
to the same effect.
Walter Johnson, veteran Wash
ington pitcher, thinks the Senators
will beat out the Athletics for the
pennant and that Detroit will finish
ahead of the Yankees.
Ty Cobb said when he signed with
Connie Mack that he did so because
he wanted to join a club that was
going to be in the world series.

PLANS ON

Windy City Promoter An.
Cling for MiddIeWeight
Bout in Summer.
BY Clark b. Kelsey

United Press Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, March 16.-Prospects
Of another championship boxing
bout for Chicago-the recent Water
loo of champions-appeared today
with Promoter Jim Mullen angling
for summer fight between Dave
Shade, California, and Mickey Walk
er, king of the middleweights. Null
len announced he would sign shade
for the bout today and had received
assurances from Jack Kearns, Walk
er's manager, that Mickey would
meet the hard hitting Californian.
Plans call for the bout to be held
here next summer, probably at one
Of the Baseball parks.
Won Crown in Chicago
1t was Chicago that made Mickey
Walker the middleweight champion.
The former welterweight leader, who
was deposed by Pete Latzo, came
here to fight Tiger Flowers, Negro
champion of the middle-weight class.
The fight was fast bout and fans
were bowling and cheering for
6Aers from the start. The decision
went to Walker and there was a
tremendous booing. The referee was
criticised for his decision and the
matter was even taken up with the
boxing commission, but that body
ruled with the referee.
Since then Walker has not de-
Tended his title.
One Comeback
Shade is on a conback. Two
years ago he was one of the leading
figures in his class, possessor of an
uncanny amount of boxing skill and
a good right hand.
However, he was stricken with
pneumonia and for almost two years
he has been out of the ring. Re.
Gently he started comeback and
has been meeting with great sue
cess. Several weeks ago he met
Wolcott Langford, Chicago Negro
middle-weight, and cut Langford to
pieces in ten rounds. 1t was then
that talk Of Shade-Walker fight
was started.
