 BASEBALL SEASON
American League President Pre-
 dICte1 Athletics Would Win
By ERNEST S. B.\HNAI;D tIrrNidCnt Amrriran Lcacurl

Chicago, Jan. Rt-Nvlcr ha\- ing applied for mcmb mburShip in the "l Told You So" society. 1t is rather difficult for m" to give uttorancc to an American league review for the 1929 season. However, as I was but partially correct in my fore caSt. a year ago. il may be safe to recall my predictions of last New Years when l declared the Attn IeUcs would give the New York Yankees plenty of trouble and pos sibly win the pennant.
 It also may be recalled l fore cast better things for Cleveland and Detroit. Cleveland did finish much higher than 1t did in '2S. while Detroit slumped toward the end of the season and failed to in- lsh as high as l had expected un- der it's new management. It played to far more. people than it had for several years. On the other hand neither St. Louis nor Washington was as successful as | hal antici- patcd. Nevertheless. the American lcaEur. Hs a unit. played 70 larger attendance than il did in 1928.
 Naturally. l cannot but express my satisfaction over the result of the world series in which the Ath- lctics won four out of five games from the Chicago Nationals. Prior to the series, l was quoted as say ing the Athletics would win because the American league. for reasons then advanced by mo, was stronger than the National The series re- suits proved 1 was correct in my diagnosis Of the conditions.
 It is my sincere belief that the American league race of 19%O will be more hotly contested right down the line than it was in 1929. CloNc- land must he considered a con- tender. Detroit. Washington and St. Louis should give a better account of themselves. Each is stronger than it's 1929 record. Chicago can be congratulated upon the acquisi- ton of Donie Bush as manager, Under his direction. the White SoX will show great improvement
 The Boston Red SoX have made a few changes which should make them q better ball club. They all ready have one ot the best pitch ing stahs in the country 1T they develop more Of a punch. they are going 10 prove trouh'eecm".
 Tn the death of Miller HugTins just q few days before inc season ended, the American league sus- tained great loss as Miller was one of the most efficient managers I ever have known.
