KCAI'SK Clneinnnfi Is bnek with the 1010 championship line-up. Tat Moran1 hull tnnr nr the fnrnrttes In the Nntlonnl League this year. In other WoitK the IteHs seem to linve the etke before the opening sons, and a majority t the experts boldly predict they will win in a walk. Hut a some wise bird says, there's many a slip " twixt the hip and the lip" and "slips nlso are numerous" twixt April and Otober. You never ran tell in baseball. Funny thins about the Cincinnati club. For years and years the athletes In that once foamy city have won the pennant in the National League before April J. It sot to be such a regular thing that the Neds never were tnken seriously until last year, wheu the miracle happened. Now the pre-season predictions mean ometblng. Cincinnati no longer is n Joke, it's the most logical thing in the wotld to Imnd Pat Moran the brown derby at this time of the year. Every man who played on the team which won the pennant and world's championship is in his old position, and the WJO line up already is made up- Fat does not have to experiment with new players. Paubert. Itnth. Kopf and OS roll are in the infield; Duncan, Kotish and Neale in the outfield : Kller. Hing. Fisher, l.unue. Sallee. Reuther. Nressler mid OJorner will pitch, and Wingo and Hill Harlden will do most of the catching. All Moran hn to do ii keep the boys keyed up to a fighting pitch nnd the rest should be easj . That s how things look at the present writing. Cincinnati is all set while the other seven clubs are developing new men for raeant positions. Pittsburgh, for example. Ims a good looking club, but n couple of new pitchers mutt come through, and .Manager Gibson is not yet satisfied with the men playing first nnd third base. McC5rav's infield does not look strong enough to carry the club through a strenuous season and no one knows how the Cubs fll look when they face the barrier. In fact, every ilub in the league, with the exception of the Reds, has a lot of work to do in selecting its complete line-up. But we will be able to tell more about it after the season gets under way. Cin cinnati won the championship Inst year, the club looks ns if it would repeat, and thnt means touch sleddinc. The other seven entries will battle the Reds in every game, as is always the rase with a pennant-winning aggregation. The best pitchers will be saved for Pat Moran'a men nnd seven managers will be plotting all season to keep him out of first place. liaseball is a very uncertain proposition, but that's what makes the game Interesting. The April favorite is not always first under the wire at the finish and merely for snke of argument, consider the (iiiints. McOSrnw had his men inis at top speed in IMS and last year, but they foozled near ttie end nnd lost ut. The strain seems to be too great nnd opposition is too strong. BIG league ball club hate In are anybody irin the pennant but them tWc nnd take nupremc delight in tacking the favorite. While thi in bring Hone a dark home develop unexpected peed nnd brrctet home under irrnp. Thu it can be ncen that copping the flag in not a lend pipe cinch. Cubs Infield Wobbly THERE are many possibilities in the 1020 race. I have een every team in action except the Chicago Cubs, and it is hard to dope out the second division clubs. You never can tell when n team will develop a winning streuk and come Tip from behind, and from present indications, that little thing will be quite popular this summer. To me it looks like a free-for-all in the National League, with Cincinnati presenting the strongest battle front on paper. The Chicago Cubs have many supporters, but from what 1 have learned, the club must be strengthened considerably in order to be considered a pennant pns aibllitv. The outfield, with Flack. Robertson and Barber, is not the best in the league' by nny means. Then the infield is rather uncertain. Holloeher may not tart the season, as his left hand has been operated upon to remove a growth from one of the tendons. It will take time for the wound to heal. Ruck Herzog will play in n harness nnd no one known how long he will be in the game. That leaves Fred Merkle at first aud Charley Deal at third, two ctendy, consistent players, but not exceptionally brilliant. " The pitchers, however, will be good, but the nme can be said about Cin cinnati. New York and Brooklyn. Alexnuder and Vaughn aie the stars, with Hendryx. Tyler. Speed. Martin. Link Railey and Nick Carter trailing close behind. Bill Killefer, the best catcher in the league, will help the club a lot and will be assisted by O'Fnrrell nnd Daly. Co.id pitching nnd catching will help a flub con siderably, but it takes more than that to win a pennant. The Giants always enter the race with strong backing, but the penuant bee has not annoyed them much this year. Like Chicago, the pitching staff, with Barnes, Tonev. Douglas, Nehf and Benton, looks very good, the catchers are fair H6 S HESITATING AOpOT RAISniG- I CL BST IT ..ONJL.V A BLUFF- MS KrJOWS 7ERY VACUt.
