n YEW YORK, April 19.-The world
M champion New York Yankees
and the st. Louis Cardinals
"Gashouse Gang" are the
choices Of the sports writer's in major
league cities to win the pennants this
year.
In spite of the fact that they
topped the National League in 1886.
New York's Giants ran a bad second
to the Cards in the annual Asso-

about the Yanks, however, as the vote

Trolley Cars Beget Name.

THE Brooklyn club, often called
Robins during the time of Will
bert Robinson, became the Dodgers
in 1888 when Brooklyn, then a sepa-
rate city, was leading the country in
installing trolley cars. The full origi-
nal name was Trolley Dodgers.
The club was also known by several
other names, including Superbas after
the business firm of Owner Ned
Hanlon.
Cincinnati teams, except for one
year, have been known as the Reds
or Red Stockings since the club was
organized, in 1869. The sole excep-
ton was in 1891 when they were
known as Kelly's Killers and played
in Pendleton, Mo-, as an American
Association team. During the 1869
season the club, base balls first real
professional outfit, amassed an amaz-
ing record of 81 wins, loss and l tie.

the Phillies or Quakers.
When first in the National League
the st. Louis Cardinals were known
as the Maroons. After brief sojourn

turned to the fold as the Browns and

E,VEN these picks are subject to final
revision. So much can happen.
For instance, Pompoon's host of fol-
lowers got scare one day at Column
bla, S. c., when he slouched a bit as
he pulled up after a gallop. Some
railbirds thought he might be lame.
But examination showed no infrm-
ity, and from all hear he has trained
soundly since. You know horses often
get into the habit of slumping few
steps when breaking from a gallop to
a trot, especially if tired And horse
has to be made tired to be made fit for
race like the Derby.
I'm training three Col. Maxwell
Howard candidates Sceneshifter,
Fencing and Gloom Buster, for the
Derby. Naturally, I hope one will
come up to the race with first-class
chance. Sceneshifter has shown a lot
Of speed.

How fast is Feller?" I asked

than 20 years ago.
"For speed, I'd rate Feller be-

Waddell. I batted against Cy

sheer speed. But what was the
difference in the speed Of any of
these fellows? Not more than

was on the batter. In Feller's
case it is more than sheer speed
that makes him so effective and
the shadow Of his body behind the
ball is one of the other reasons"
What about Feller's curve ball?"
Tommy Bridges of Detroit is
the only American League pitcher
with a better curve. Bridges
throws a light curve much as
Smoky Joe Wood did when starring
for Boston. That is caused by
exceptional flexibility of the wrist.
Right now Teller throws q heavy
curve, for he has not developed
the ultimate of wrist motion. In
two or three seasons Feller's curve
will be greatly improved. Right
now his curve ball is faster than
most pitchers hard one and he's
going to be one Of the great curve
ball pitchers Of the game"

Charged With Piracy.

IN THAT year, the Pittsburgh team
signed up (stole, the other clubs
claimed) Louis Bierbauer, second base
man of the Philadelphia team, then
bankrupt.
Pittsburgh defended its action by
pointing out that Philadelphia had
forgotten to place Bierbauer on the
reserve list.
Chicago's Cubs were the original
White (Stockings) Sox. for the players
wore that shade of hose when the
National League was organized in
1876. Later they became Anson's Colts,
after a play written for the famous
Cap Arson. But in 1898, after Anson's
regime. the club was known as the
orphans. A newspaper contest resulted
in the present name of Cubs.
The Giants also can thank news
paper men for their name, although
Bill Terry probably wouldn't admit it.
Chicago and Detroit base ball writer's
were accustomed to stress the size and
weight of their players and, to guy his
colleague, P. j. Donohue. New York
World base ball writer, referred to the
New York Nationals in 1886 as Giants.
The reference was continued and
populari1ed the next year by Joe
Pritchard of St. Louis, then a widely
known base ball expert.
