But, according TO Iris Speaker,

In 1919 and IL = close friend Of
Earnshaw, there Is no mystery OF
any sort about the pitcher.
"Earnshaw has his own ideas Of

he spent most Of the Spring in Hot

They're on Again.
MONG the April flowers that
burst into bloom this afternoon

A MONG the April MOVERS that
~ burst into bloom this afternoon
~ are two big league pennant
races that promise to be
among the best in many years. These
two pennant races will lure something
like 100000 citizens through the
turnstiles before October arrives again
and they will hold the Aeading interest
of many more millions who keep In
touch with their favored athletes
through the box score.
In this new April opening the two
leagues present. entirely different shows.
In the American League seven clubs,
led by washington, will set out in hot
pursuit of Connie Mack's Athletics,
who are again picked far and wide to
run up another flag and make 1t three
In row. In the National League there
viii be four and possibly five clubs in
one OF the widest scrambles of many
years, where almost anything can hap
pen. In this race st. Louis, Chicago,

Pittsburgh hanging on the rim and
Boston . new trouble-maker, at least.
Leading Factors.
THE pursuit race in the American
i League should be much closer than
it was in 1929 and 1880. Walter
Johnson's Senators are all set with a
strong. well rounded pitching stad and
first-claAs ball club. Joe McCarthys
Yankees are hoping for some steady
pitching to break into the argument,
and both Cleveland and Detroit have
been strengthened. It will be largely
q matter Of stopping the Athletics. They
are Cochrane, Simmons, Foxx, Grove
| and Earnshaw. vital factors in both
attack and defense.
The battery work of Grove and Earn
shaw pitching to Cochrane is a big part
of Macks defensive strength, while the
hitting of Simmons, Cochrane and Foxx
are the leading elements in his attack
Which doesn't mean that such veterans
as Dykes, Haas, ETC., can be overlooked.
The third pennant is harder to win
than the second, but even against this
handicap the Athletics still carry too
many guns to be taken by storm, unless
some of these guns are spiked by
! injuries.

The Cubs are depending on the driv-

WHERE does Brooklyn belong, this
w club picked by many to grab the
nag this time? We may he max
ing foolish guess. but we say at the
head OF the second division. The
Dodgers may be as good as they were
last season, but nothing seems to make
; them look any better. And they were
! not good enough to hold to q hot pace
then. While Cards, Giants, Cubs and
Pirates appear to have improved, the
Dodgers have not done 50. which seems
reason enough to rate them below this
quartet Of clubs.
The Phillies can hit, but they can
do little else, so they should be rated
below the Braves Of Boston in the pre-
season reckoning. This Boston bunch
In an odd one. II falls before the weak
outfits. but II certainly makes trouble
