THE national interscholastic bas-

wound up at the University OF Chi
cago was destined to be the last
one Mr.. Stagg was to put on. The
political heads Of the state associa-
lions one by one are forbidding their

emphaticaIly has declared the tour
ney will be held once again next

If the tourney was dropped no
one would be hurt except the boys
themselves. In this modern day
when every one else is getting a
broad, national point of view the
chances Of a group of our high
school boys making trip from the
sticks to the big city and rubbing
elbows with boys from every part
OF the country would be a thing Of
the past.
It would be too bad, because they
would become just as provincial as

No ReVerSaIS From Last
Years Form Expected
in Big Show.
YANKS SAME OLD SQUAD
AS Must Get Rid of Inferi-
GRITTY Complex.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY


NEW YORK, April 9.-Sizing up
the sixteen Major league teams a
week before the opening Of the 1926
baseball season, no radical reversals
from last years form are expected
in the two pennant races beginning
next Tuesday.
The New York Yankees and
Philadelphia Athletics may have
slipped a trife, yet that remains to
be seen, for training camp evidence
sometimes proves misleading. They
are quite likely to battle for the
pennant again.
The New YORK Giants and Chi
Cago Cubs are favorites in the Ma
tional League race, with the st.
Louis Cardinals and Pirates possibly
figuring Importantly in a close race.
American League resume.
Yankees-same old tough team to beat.
Possibly improved pitching with Pennock
hack. S7irit Of club good.
sthletics-No better than last wear. with
patohed-up infeld and crippled pitch
lng stan. Interiority complex Of As when
they play the Yankees turned tide last
year and Philadelphia can hope for no
better than second place unless it does
better than out Of % against the Yanks
this season.
Washington--A dangerous club under
Walter Johnsons leadership. Myer at
third and BlueEe at Shortstop have
strengthened inheld. Pitching good.
BroWns-Faiure Of Rookie third base
man to make rood hasn't frightened pros
poets. GRAY and Crowder will have to re-
peat last Years records to keep Browns
VI there.
Detroit-A good team but can Bucky
Harris get a team that wouldn't play for
Moriarty TO play for him? Plenty Of
punch but pitching doubtful.
leyeland-Completely reorEanized and
may spring a surprise. Too many left
handed hitters
White sox-stronrer in outfeld but
pitching and infield about same.
Red Sox-Manr changes and likely TO
get out CT cellar if White Sox flop.
The National League teams in a
nutshell follows:
Giants-Greatly improved team over last
season. Mays and Walker figure to
strengthen pitching STAFF. WEIGH, Ott Ho-
gan, O'Farrell all look better than last
season. Looks like club to beat.
Cubs-Mag uire PLAYED great defensive
game at second last season and the Cubs
may miss him although Hornsby will add
power Third base is , weak spot and
pitching staff only slightly stronger.
misunderstanding of Cardinals likely
to depend on what veteran pitchers do.
Revamped infield uncertain. OutfeId
stronger than last year.
Pittsburgh-A great offensive team but
defensiyeIy not to ostrong. Traynor's hip
injury and Paul Waners holdout tactics
have retarded the Pirates Petty will
strengthen pitching staff
Cincinnati-Have no punch but may be
troublesome if veteran pitchers function
smoothly. Third base is weak spot.
Kelly slipping at first
Brooklyn-Not as good last year.
Pitching STAFF weaker and injuries have
weakened team.
Braves-Worst looking ball club in either
league.
Phillies-Ihevenow' injury cost Phil
lies chance to climb TO sixth place and
maybe higher. Young. hustling club.
