Detroit Picked on It's Record.
TINE American League is tighter
/ than 1t has been in 40 or so
moons. But Detroit won so
comfortably last year with the breaks,
I admit. and the rest of the con-
tenders are so uncertain that the
paper crown goes to Mr.. Cochrane.
He still has to win on the ball field,
but that's minor matter.
Now we come to a problem which
Is a problem. There are four nifty
clubs-New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and Cleveland. Each has its weak
nesses-New York and Boston in the
infield; Philadelphia in the pitching
staff; Cleveland in some obscure cor
ner of the morale or the intelligence
department.
Anything might happen to
these four clubs-any of them
might cop the flag. 1 think the
best thing is to leave them in
the order in which we named
them.
st. Louis ought to be next best, fol-
lowed by Washington "a tough club
which may leap up and bite me on
the hand). Then, with conventional
regrets, the White Sox. It's wicked
league in which to initiate an expert,
this American League, because the
club I picked for fifth place is as good
as any other on paper and is quite
capable Of winning the pennant.
There probably is no more pre-
sumptuous gesture in sport than the
bracketing, each in its proper place,
of Is screwy ball clubs. You have to
be megalomaniac or a victim of
Spring fever to do it. But, remember,
the foot ball guys get away with
murder in the prediction line every
Fall. And the movie critics pick the
10 best movies. And the dramatic
critics pick the 10 best plays. That's
not predicting exactly, but it takes as
much nerve as the job which your

A Base Ball Epic.

STILL haven't mentioned one of
i the best ball players and one of
the most colorful figures base ball
ever knew.
Three or four years ago, kid
blew into the Bradenton camp. He
had come in on a freight train. He
had been robbed of every dime he
had. He was unshaved, full of
cinders. dirt and dust. They wouldn't
let him in at the hotel. He looked
too much like tramp. He hadn't
eaten in two days. He had to get
Gabby Street to get him by.
His name was John CPepper)
Martin. Since then he has helped in
the winning of two pennants and two
world series.
He is one of the great ball players
of his day. One of the best I ever
saw. He came near breaking his neck
twice last week by diving into oppos-
ing infielders like something shot from
a cannon. The only angle he knows
is 100 per cent of everything he's got
on every play.

Of trousers you wear for hunting or
fishing where the going Is rough.
Outside of base ball, these are Pep
per Martins two main hobbies, hunt
ing and fishing.
'"The apparel" Shakespeare says.
"oft proclaimS the man."
Martin isn't interested In
either apparel or Shakespeare,
but still he is los per cent man
and about lilo per cent ball
player.
He can't be bothered about the
latest fashion in mems wear, but two
leagues full Of Pepper Martins would
pack every ball park in the country.
The Pepper Martins and the Dizzy

with either indefinitely and get

And they'll give you all the base

ball pennant winners in public. 1t

But it hasn't been wiped out, and
your correspondent, after exposing
himself to the germ in Florida for
something like four weeks, was bitten
savagely just above the right ear. 1t
thus becomes his painful duty to
pick the Giants in the National
League and Detroit in the American
League and to hope for speedy re-
covery.
frankie Frisch said this
Spring that it's a bad move
to bet on last years pennant
winner to repeat. The records
don't bear him out.
Winners have repeated IL times in
the National League since 1900, which
Is 81 per cent of the total The per-
centage is even higher in the Ameri-
can League, with 13 repeaters. In
other words, the repeat bet is the
safest you can make.
Last Years Race Too Close.
DUT I'm going to take Frankie's
II advice this time and pick the
Giants to beat out his own
champion club. The race last year
was too close and breathless to es-
tablish the real superiority of the
Cards. They were a good club, the
best in the league extensively, but
they needed a break and some stu
pendouS work from two of their pitch
ers to win.
They haven't improved this year,
but the Giants have. Bartell is the
sort of ball player the New York team
has needed for years, a player with
dash, vigor and that peculiar atomic
condition which the boys call color.
The pitching should be at least as
good as it was last year. New York
won't be as strong at the bat as Pitts
burgh or ST. Louis, and Jackson may
slow down, but with so per cent of
the breaks the club can win.
The Cards are good enough
for second and Pittsburgh is
the hunch bet for third. Lack
of cooperation, or something
like that, has kept this good
club out of the money for long
time.

Lindstrom, are gone. Bush is heavy,
