NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-tPl-It Is
too early in the year TO review the
teams in our league for the 1880
pennant race, and 1t is too early 10
predict what kind OF a season we
may expect. But judging from the
growth and progress OF the game
the past three years and the gen.
eral strong trend Of the public to
all sports. I am impelled to predict
1890 will prove another great year
for baseball in general and the Ma
tional League in particular.
Attendance in our league champ
ionship games the past three years
totalled $4,000. 900. During the three
wears prior to this period our at
tendance was about IL. 900 1000.
Fast Finish
Now last season for the first time
in about a decade our race was over
about Sept !. / do not anticiDa1>
such a runaway this year. Both the
Boston and Cincinnati clubs will
present a much stronger front at
the start Of the next race. Both
teams will have new managers VINO
have proved their caDacitv TO de-
velop and lead first division teams.
Then the Philadelphia team only
develoned its real strength toward
the end Of last eason This club
should prove a feature of the 1880
remnant race. So here are three
second division teams upon which
we can count TO nut IN a real bat
tie with the contenders from the
start.
A better balanced LEAGUE means
a closer rae keener competition
and greater interest and attend
ance all over the circuit. 1t looks
70 me now as though we should
have the best balanced league for
1880 in history. and therefore We
have every reason TO look forward
with confidence to another great
year.

sleeve as far away from the wrist as
1t can possibly go. The trend TO get
away from stereotyped cuff Treatments
is made obvious in almost every In

a manipulation OF its fur trimming
along the new ''llnes." See how It
describes flaring effect at the elbow,
also giving generously large aspect,
and that Is exactly what sleeves are
this season--anything but small or

One even sees dolman sleeves and
