base ball campaign just around the
corner 1t devolves upon us TO go on
record regarding the pennant race.
We feel no urge to do this thing, but
if 1t serves no purpose other than to
give those who hold contrary opinions
license to chortle over the fact that
we were wrong again t may be con-
sidered worth while. OF course. this
Is pre-supposing that some one will re-
member what we said, which Is doubt
full. but at any rate this forecasting
thing is hallowed by custom and it's
our duty, so that's that
All and sundry having been fairly
warned of our sinister purpose one has
only himself to blame IL what is set
forth hereinafter offends his sense Of
values or in any other way proves dis
pleasing for there is no compulsion
about reading it.
But before proceeding We wish to
direct attention TO the fact that the
order of finish furnished In tabulated
form herewith is not prediction.

That precaution having been taken
here Is our slant on the dope regarding
the 1923 pennant scrambles In ooth

2-Wasbington. 6-Cleveiand.

Before attempting to explain the
why's and wherefores OF the above ar
rangement OF clubs which by October
may-and probably will-bear about as
much resemblance to the facts as Le-
vine does to Lindbergh we wish TO pre-
sent a couple of definitions found in
the well battered dictionary that re-
poses on our desk
'Guess-A tentative opinion or con-
clusion"
''Predict-To make known before
hand. as something that Is TO happen. "
AS all this constitutes a surmise
rather than prophecy we could have
boldly picked Washington to win the
pennant without danger of incurring
any come-b back that couldn't be laughed
OF. As matter of fact Washington
can win and may do il, and We viii be
only mildly surprised IL New York fails
TO finish in the first division. but it 50
