JACK BARRY Is a live wire, fto Is
two of tho greatest managers of all
but It's a ten to ono shot that he will fall to fill the latter's shoes.
ChiCann White Snx Hnne That Pennnnt T.nnk
Q fTlHE Chicago White Stockings look like
This conclusion Is not reached as tho result of a long period of crystal Razing,
but Is offered because tho Sox appear to possess every requisite of a championship
dub. They looked llko pennant winners in 1914 and 1915, but they were handi
capped by a manager Inexperienced In big league ways. Slnco then ho has learned
his lesson. Rowland should get maximum results this season, which is saying a
p&geful when tho caliber of his baseball talent Is considered. Maximum results
from such players as Joo Jackson, Eddie Collins, "Happy" Felsch, Ray Schalk
and the others should be sufficient to win any old pennant. It is a wonderful club
blng aggregation, a star fielding cast and! a splendid battery corps. Rowland
should get them on the crest early and keep them there.
The Yankees made a. crreat fleht In 191B and thev should show iin vn hpltrr
AS-ta 1917. Accidents swept almost tho entire team away to the hospital last summer,
fflU '.iJ unless the Jinx Is out to repeat they will bo there or thereabouts from bell to
bell. There should be a place In the first division for the St. Louis Browns unless
they become so absorbed in the Rickey controversy that they forget nil else.
Fielder Jones has a good ball club, which unfortunately got away to a poor start
last season, hit up a terrific pace In mldseason, only to collapse and drop back
exhausted. The Brownies have learned that they can play good taseball, and if
Jones can get them yorklng steadily Instead of spasmodically they may put over
something of a sensational nature.
THE Red Sox, White Sox, St. Louts Browns and Yankees. They look
llko tho class of the league, with the White Sox ruling favorites over
, the other three.
There Are Two "If" Clubs in the American League
WILL Guy Morton's arm come back to form? Will Joe Wood's wing bo kink
less? Will Trls Speaker club anywhere near his 1916 mark? If you can answer
tftj these questions you can dope the Cleveland
few elub denends on what these three men do.

he rest wll have a battle on their hands from tho beginning to the end of the
' Mason. The Senators have Walter Johnson and a ball park. Ono pitcher cannot
win ninety-five ball games, and that lets Qrlf and his entry out.
Now of our own Athletics. It is difficult to place them with such a mob of
optimistic scribes sojourning In tho South. Last year Connie's team was a rank
utaldcr and a fair subject for baseball humorists near and far. Mr. Mack spoke
right up and told tho populace that ho was experimenting, a tip which was super
fluous, for an, examination of one or two boxscores in which the Athletics figured
was sufficient evidence that something unusual was taking place. About the only
way to dopo the Athletics this spring Is through their astute manager, as wise a
baseball man as ever stepped on the field. That Connie will have a better team
than ho had last year is certain, but there is so much room for improvement that
it Is impossible to Judge Just how far the Improvement will carry them up In tho
league standing. As far as the Athletics are concerned it is simply a matter of
" Bitting tight and hoping.
PHILADELPHIA fans have great faith in Connie Mack and believe that
some day ho will give, them another pennant-winning machine. Few,
however, belleve that even the Wizard of Shlbe Park can turn out a team
this year which will finish above third place.
The Spotlight on the National League
WE ARE not picking the Giants to win because we like the way John McGraw
cuts his hair. As a matter of fact, there are twenty-two perfectly good reasons
' why the New York club should annex the National Leaguo gonfalon. We will nten
' tion alx or ten right offhand; they ore Zimmerman, Herzog, Fletcher, Kauff, Robert-
on, Burns, Schupp, Tesreau, Ferrltt, Holke but why continue? The Giants have
the class and that's all there is to it. It has been said that temperament Is due to
Eyfr make or break the Giants. It has been pointed out that Kauff, Zimmerman Herzog,
.Robertson and one or two others aro sure to make trouoie within the ranks. This
may all come to pass, but it is recalled that McGraw has been subduing tempera
mental athletes for some few years, and
kinks out of Kauff's fiery disposition win bear more man a passing scrutiny.
Adding th'o dopo all up established the fact that McGraw has one or the greatest
aggregation of stars ever brought together under one tent, and if they fail to win
the pennant thero Is little virtue in baseball arithmetic.
At this writing, the two teams McGraw has most to fear are tho Phillies and
Braves. Moran's chances havo been reviewed1 recently In this column and wo see
bo reason for reversing the dope. The Phils are more powerful than .they were
last year, when they battled tho Dodgers down -the stretch only to succumb at

w
RATING the Phillies as stronger this year than they were last, despite
the fact that few changes will be made In the line-up, may be puzzling
to some fans. It must be remembered that Moran's team Is coming and
not going, and the added year of experience will count.

SYRACUSE ENTERS
TWO-MILE RELAY
Looks, Like Best Team
Against Yale in the
Penn Games
GREAT RACE EXPECTED
Coach Tom Keane, of Syracuse Univer
sity, stated today tjjat Syracuse would run
a team In tho two-mile championship at
the Penn relajs next month and In tho
distance medley relay. Syracuse will hae
a ery good two-mile team, as In Peterson
and Newklik Coach Keans has two fast
half-mllers. Peterson has beaten 1 minute
65 seconds for the half, while New kirk can
do 1 minute 57 pecdnds. The latter Im
proved considerably this winter, and Coach
Keane would not be surprised to see him
also do 1 minute 55 seconds. Watson Is
another runner who can do better than 2
minutes.
This race now promises to be a great
contest. Yale, Cornell, Fennslvanla and
Notre Dame will all have fast teams, while
Michigan and Chicago may also be In this
event. It Is quite probablo that the winner
will make a new record for the distance.
Entries for the class races close tomorrow
for the relay carnival. No post entries will
be received this yoar. Three hundred nnd
ten teams aro now on the list, a higher fig
ure than ever known before In the history
of college and scholastic sport.

On the National League Race
The National League race may rest In
doubt, but none of this doubt Is entertained
by American League clubs. Without ex
ception they all figure the Giants as their
1917 world series opponents, nnd few give
any of the others een a look-in.
We have talked with anywhere from
twenty to twenty-five American League
players, and without exception thoy figure
the Giants as sure a thing as sure things
can ever go In baseball.
This belief, however, Is not entertained
by at least three men. You are entitled to
ono guess as to who tho trio Is, or are. You
were right Wllbert Robinson, George Stal
llngs and Pat Moran. These three eterans
hae seen too many sure bets overturned
before in this rickety pastime to lose heart
before a blow Is struck.
The Upset Margin
.The one cueer feature of this National
League race Is thnt so many belleo the
Giants have a good chance to be beaten
Just for the reason that they now look In
vincible. They will go well back and pick out the
supposedly cinch episodes of the past where
painful upsets resulted, and knowing the
devious ways of the dope they sMl accord
Brookljn, Philadelphia and Boston a good
outside chance.
But the American League Isn't figuring In
this direction. Those who believe they hae
a chance to win are already aiming at tho
Giants.

Joseph L. Bailey, manager of tho cham
pion Greystock five, Is heartily In favor
of at least giving a trial to a new method
of tossing foul goals. Tho throwing of
foul points has always been a source ot
contention, and while all sorts of pro
posals havo been advanced It has always
been the general consensus of opinion that
the most equitable ndjustment of tho matter
Is tho rulo In force In this section.
In tho Pennsylvania Stato and Interstate
Leagues tho man fouled tosses the throw,
When Jasper played down l.ast the old
rule used there years ago was still In force,
that Is for every three penalties committed
the opposing side Is awarded a point. This
eliminates the throwing of fouls.
This Scheme Looks Good
At tho banquet of basketball officers, WIN
Ham J. McAvoy, for eight years coach ot
Delaware College, suggested tho elimina
tion of the one-man method by substituting
a schemo whereby the player committing
tho offense tosses, the leather at the op
ponent's basket. If he makes tho Bhot no
point counts for either side, but If lie
misses then the team on which tho foul
was committed iccelvcs a point. Mr. Mc
Avoy Is of tho opinion that this method
would hae n tendency to make play clearer
nnd faster.
Manager Bailey shares this view also, nnd
helleves tho nlan- would provo a success.
Bailey says there aro a number of games'
that are scheduled to ho decided oro the sea
son closes, and ho will endeavor to secure
the plan a trial. Here Is a chance for soma
enterprising manager to try out the scheme
and learn how It works. The public would
appreciate It, and It might attract a crowd.
Not So Many After All
While there Is questioning the fact that
the crowds that witnessed the contests be
tween the Greys and Jewels were the largest
that ever attended a series In this vicinity,
the number of persons Inside tho Camden
Armory was considerably less than some
oer-anxlous writers believe.
Tho owners of neither club hae Issued
any statement bb to tho receipts, but it has
been learned tho revenue derived from the
first game was $1015, the second ?1050 and
the third still more. It Is figured about
$3200 was the total proceeds. Assuming
an average admission of thirty-flvo cents
and 'It may havo 'been a trlflo In excess
this would allow nbout 3000 to a game.
Somo accounts placed the attendance nt 4000
nnd others even figured It at 5000. Of
course tho soldiers connected with tho rcgl
ment were admitted, but they did not bup--7
ply anywhere near tho difference between
the real figures and the imaginary ones.
Easterners Lost Money
The Eastern Basketball Leaguo will hold
Its spring meeting at the Bingham House
on next Tuesday evening, when all business
of the year will be completed and reserve
lists of players filed. Any changes in the
playing rules would also rccelvo considera
tion at that time.
Tho season was-a disastrous ono for the
cage moguls In the Eastprn.' Reading, Tren-
ton, Camden, ureystocit ana ojo ieri lost
money, whllo Jasper qiilt a trlflo to the
good. It may sound strango to say the
Greys, champions of the league, were a los
ing proposition, but It Is a fact, and Mana
