Red Sox Better Balanced.

BOSTON, with a crippled pitching
n staff and an infield that was
weak in spots. still was able to
finish fourth in 1884. 1t should make
stronger bid for the pennant next
season, with the chance that Grove,
Pipgras and Walberg will be able to
take regular turns in the box, and
with Joe Cronin, most capable young
manager and an exceptionally fine
shortstop. plotting the Red Sox. There
is no doubt Boston will have much
better balanced team than in '34.
Philadelphia appears to be the dark
horse. At the outset of last season, it
lacked the pitching, but during the
last month Connie Mack had his
young hurlers working smoothly and
winning many splendidly- pitched con-
tests. In fact, these youthful pitchers
demonstrated that, with seasons eX-
perience behind them, they are going
to keep the Athletics well up in the
race from the start. Mack has an
nounced he will use Jimmie FoXX. his
most powerful batsman. as catcher.
This move will be watched with great
IIlJcICol.
Rogers HornSby worked wonders in
his first full campaign at st. Louis.
He will have stronger team in 1885,
one that should win more games. The
same may be said of Washington and
Chicago, both of which were riddled
by accidents throughout the 1884 bat
tie and never able to present their
full strength.
Chicago has done some wise wedding
out and added some excellent pros
poets, while Washington has improved
its batting. Stanley Harris is back as
manager at Washington, where he
won two pennants and has some capa-
BILE new material to try out. Jimmy
Dykes, at Chicago, has had the bene-
fit of years experience as manager,
and 1 count on him to place a hus-
ting team on the field.

Champs and 1885 Chances.
No. 3-The Cardinals.

w WINNERS of the National
\A/ League championship
v v winners of the world Sc
ries-who is going to stop
the two Deans in 1895?
After slow start, with any num-
ber of breaks against them, the Cardi-
mails came roaring through in one of
the greatest finishes any league ever
has known, and from there on they
moved along into the base ball cham
pionship of the world.
Who is to beat them for the National
League pennant this year?
The Cubs should be better, but the
rest of the League is a guess. The
Cardinals are no guess with the two
Deans on the job.
Dizzy and Daffy took care Of
49 ball games last season, with
Paul, the younger, out of action
for some time.
This year they should be good
for over 30 games, ana tnat Is
something to shoot against If Frank
Frisch can dig up two pitchers who
can win 16 or 18 games each.
In addition to the two Deans, the
Cardinals still have Frisch-a great
infielder-DucFy Wucky Medwick, a
star outfielder-Pepper Martin, a
greater ball player-no matter where
you put him. They still have Collins
and several others who can play their
share of base ball.
But, above all, they have the
two Deans-two young stars still
short Of their prime.
To my mind, Dizzy Dean is one of
the greatest pitchers ever saw-and
I'll go back to Matty in his prime and
work on through johnson, Walsh,
Alexander and any one you can name
He has everything a great pitcher
needs-brains, ice water veins, speed,
perfect control-a great competitive
nature-and, above all, control Of q
fast curve ball-the one feature that
made Rube Wadden one of the stars
Of all time.

GAME HIGH CLASS
EVEN IN DEFEATS
Major Outfits Encounter
Speedy Foes This Week.
Boxers to Make Bow.
BY H. c. BYRD.

w YITH the local colleges
M through the preliminary
v v part of their basket ball
schedules and ready to
plunge into the major part of their
season, it seems enough already has
been shown in the way of Splaying
standards to indicate that George
town, George Washington, Catholic
University and Maryland are in shape
to duplicate their feats of last Fall in
foot ball, which is nothing more or
less han to have teams strong enough
to enter on pretty close to even terms
any games they have scheduled.
All four of the larger local uni
versities have been defeated, but only
in games in which they played good
basket ball and, with the improve
ment bound to take place with the
squads working out regularly and
without the enticements of the holiday
period, there is every reason to feel
that they will display about as high
standard of court play as may be seen
anywhere.
This does not mean that they should
not lose games, but it does mean that
in game after game they should be
on their toes, carrying the fight to
their opponents and giving about as
good as they get.
The best game here this week prob
ably will be that between George
Washington and City College of New
York. AS matter of fact, year after
year there are not many f1ves that
play better basket ball than c. c. N. Y,
and the fact that the ColonialS are
good seems sufficient to insure top
notch performance.
Two other contests which should
develop excellent play are those in
which Maryland meets Virginia Mill
tary Institute and Duke University.
Georgetown and Catholic University
will run into some stiff competition
away from home, especially the former
against New York U.
George WaShington'S game tonight
with Lynchburg ought to be something
of a runaway for the local school.
Lynchburg hardly is strong enough to
meet on anything like even terms the
group of basketers wearing the Colo
NAL colors. Lynchburg remains over
after the contest tonight to play
American University, which game
should be pretty evenly fought.

"We scrimmaged Dixie minutes
before the first game we played in

scrimmage he had. I figured he was
far too valuable a player to take any
risk. I also knew that he knew all
his stuff and could come through in
game.
He is the type that doesn't
need the grind-a genius that
you seldom see.
"I still say that he is the best all
around back that ever saw, and
this includes George Gipp and Red
Grange. He never was in a scrim-
mage after October, and yet he al
ways was able to play go minutes
If I needed him. When you COM
bine kicking, passing, running, smart
ness, GOODNESS and defensive play-all
taken together-I'll take Dixie Howell
against any man ever saw"
And the West Coast will back him
up.
