New York, April 0.-The baseball
season has every indication Of turn
ing into the scrappiest one in years.
Old-timers who have decried the
modern game as being a contest for
Mandy -pambys probably will have
nothing to complain about when the
1885 campaign Is ended.
Several old feuds. hanging over
from last year are due to be renew
ed, and the prospects of a few new
ones. destined to make those Ken
lucky lnountaineer affairs look like
an old maids quilting party. are ex-
cellent.
The Giants probably will promote
some lively rows this year. Bill Ter.
~, by his now famors belittling ut
terance of last year. Are the Dodg-
ers still In the league7' stirred up
enlnity In the brawny breasts of the
Dizziness Boys.
Dick Bartell, acquired from the
Phillies, bring another fight to the
Giants fold. This aggressive short
stop spiked Linus Frey and Joe Judge
during game with Brooklyn last
year, and his presence in the New
York lineup isn't likely to set UP
state of brotherly love between Casey
STENCILS boys and Tcrry's crew.
Dean due for Trouble
Dizzy Dean Is almost certain to
run into trouble before the season
winds up. His classification of Babe
Ruth as lust another hitter" has the
Bambino In arms. although on the
surface he has forgiven the garrulous
one. Ruth's teammates with I he
Boston Braves have vowed to give
Dean no quarter. In the past they've
been tougher on the Oklahoman
than any other club.
Dean. in fit Of temper. threw
bean balls at several during an ex.
hibition game with the Giants. which
didn't make him any friends.
You can look for that alteration
between frankie Frisch and Jimmy
Wilson to bob up again. Wilson
hasn't held any too high q regard
for Frisch ever since the latter was
named boss of the Cardinals. which
led to the former soccer players re.
turn to Philadelphia.
An American League battle
looms between Bill Werbcr. Of the
Red Sox, the leading base stealer in
baseball, and Jo-Jo White. Of the
Tigers, the runner-up. who rides
with his spikes high. Werber has de-
clared war on White as the result Of
being cut on the wrist by the little
Georgian last fall.
Indians on Waruath
Trouble between the Indians and
the Tigers also is apparent, The diff
fic,llty Is due to remark p,lr-
ported to have been made BY Mickey
Cochrane when someone asked him
what he thought of the Indians
ranking as favorites to win the
American League pennant.
Cochranc was reported to have
asked who the indians were and to
have added that he expected little
competition from them.
Later, Cochrane sent Walter john
son, indian chief, letter repudiat-
ing the assertions that he was sup
posed to have made. He asked John.
son to post the letter on the bulletin
board SO that the Cleveland players
would know his position.
But johnson. wise In the ways Of
ball players. promptly tore up the
letter, leaving the Indians with the
idea that Cocl,ranc and hts Tigers
didn't hold the highest regard for
them.
AS q consequence. there has arisen
an ill-feeling between the Indians
and Tigers and there Is plenty OF
likelihood that the feeling will crop
up during contests between the two
outfits.
