Many Early IFS Hint
Hot National League
Race, Frick Feels
Champion Reds Stronger,
But Main Rivals Show
Great Possibilities
BY FORD FRICK,
President, the National League.

NEW YORK, April II (Py.-Ordi-
narily, to ask nothing more from a
baseball season than carbon copy
of last years results would be a
weak position to take as opening
day approaches.
This year, however, the National
League could hardly ask more than
a repeat of 1940's triumphs in the
all-star game against the American
League and a world championship
in October to top off a great pen
nant race.
Reds Stronger This Year.
The Cincinnati Reds today are
stronger than last fall. Our pros
poets for a close flag fight depend
on the merits of the moves made
by Brooklyn, st. Louis, Chicago
and the other clubs in strengthening
their line-ups.
Some body called April baSeball's
"if month" It's been going on all
over the baseball map, baseball
writer's, fans, the players them
selves. If it weren't for the little
word "if," baseball might still be
the national game, but the season
opening wouldn't be half as ex-
citing.
A lot of smoke usually means
fire. The more Ifs" there are in
April, the hotter the pennant race.
The plentitude of Ifs" this spring
may mean for the National League
its most interesting pennant race
in many years.
'Iffing" Hits New High.
Experts consensus picks the Reds
to repeat with the Dodgers and
Cardinals their most serious chal-
lengers. But the "iffing" game goes
further than these three clubs. Just
try attaching an IF" to the Cubs
Lou Novikof or the Pirates new
pitchers or the hitting proWess in
exhibition games shown by the
Giants and Bees and you get an
array of potential contenders.
Against the background of world
events. it's a pretty healthy index
of national life that the April ma
tional game hasn't dwindled into
nothingneSs this year. On the con-
trary, I think the "iffng" this spring
hits a new high.

few days. playing George Washing
ton Friday and Georgetown Satur-
day.
The Hoyas' stiffest early-season
game will be committed Thursday
with the aid of Michigan. Ray Fisher
laments the lack of good pitchers
on Michigan's roster, but the team
wants nothing in all other direc-
tions and will give its host run
for the marbles-if it doesn't win.
Wixted or Dick Dieckelman, the
portly portsider, will be saved for
the engagement.
Test Faced by McGinniS.
George Washington, which ex-
ploded a powerful surprise under
its critics noses by taking both ends
of tvin-bill with Virginia Military
Institute and Harvard, plays St.
Johns of Brooklyn Saturday. Frank
McGinnis, the stout fellow who
turned back Harvard's broadbacked
sluggerS with a couple of meaning
less singles and won his own game
with a lusty double. is certain to
start against w. and L. or St. Johns
and this will give the experts an
opportunity to discover if he has
discovered a new twist or that Har-
ward victory was one of those things.
The Colonial netmen, who finally
crashed the win column against
Boston College last week, go to Lex
ington for matches with w. and l..
and V. M. I. Wednesday and Thurs
day. Maryland's netmen, after play
ing at William and Mary tomorrow,
return to face the same team Thurs
day.
Jack Faber's Maryland lacrosse
men also will be busy, meeting Penn
State tomorrow and Rutgers Sat-
urday. The Nittany Lions gave
Maryland a real battle before sue
cumbing, 7-3, last spring, and Faber
is wary of them, but Rutgers should
be much tougher. L. F. A.

Nine baseball games headline a
busy program as collegians this week
usher in their spring sports cam
paign in earnest.
Right now Georgetown's smooth,
hard hitting outfit ranks at the
head of the class with George Wash
ington's unpredictable athletes in
the No. 2 hole and Maryland's slap
happy tossers third. A mere step
behind are American us youngsters.
The future may bring a drastic
revision of this lineup, but it seems
highly improbable at this writing.
A lot of river has gone under the
bridge since Syracuse, one of the
peripatetic troupes converslng on
Washington, met up with Maryland.
Back in 1922 the Terps wrung out
a 9-s decision over Lew Carr's boys,
but the Orange apparently has bet
ter than an even chance of squaring
accounts when the mines meet Tues
day at College Park, for Carr is
alleged to have fair country ball

G. U. to Give Line on Orange.
It's too early to pass judgment,
but well have a good line on the
Orange after tomorrow's game with
Georgetown. If Syracuse isn't an
accident case after this one, it must
have something on the ball. Jimmy
Herman, raven-haired fireball pitch
er who went to Bill Wixted's relief
in the opening game with Harvard,
is due for Georgetown's starting as

straighten out his puzzling curve
they'll hit anything.
