the Phils.G Giants clash, while President
Barnard Of the American League win
watch the Nationals and Athletics.
Although the Yankees are strong
favorites to take their fourth consec-
utive American League championship,
the dope indicates that the champions
will be threatened by at least four clubs
the Athletics, Browns, Tigers and
Nationals.
In the National League indications
are that the Giants and Cubs will be
the principal factors in the pennant
struggle, but that Pittsburgh and st.
Louis, alternate league champions dur
ing the last four years, viii provide
plenty OF opposition and have an ex-
cellent chance to win.

that the plane will be sent out from
