As long as the city fathers cannot

is made that some live-wire organize
a sohoolboys‘ baseball league during
the coming season. The suggestion
istimeiy and well made and there is
little doubt but what such an organiza-
tion would so well anions ththlgher
grades of boys, although the writer is
inclined to fear that the younger ele-
ment would never ilnish a season.

The pennant prospects in seven Ani-
ericun League cities have taken on a
distinctly cal-mine hue this winter.
The teams are planning a thrilling
championship moment! no one club
can see where any other can finish in
front. An edge of superiority is com
ceded to the"Athie'tics by some but
even the collapse of the mighty Philip
dolphin pitching staff is being scribed-u
ly contemplated. and a few there are
who believe that Connie Mack‘s men
will not repeat, for the reason that
Header. Plank and Odomba cannot go
on forever.
The watch for this optimism in the
the American League lies in the intro-
duction of live- new monitors. Connie

tween thom have guided all the pen-
n‘aut winning teams for the. last five
years in the younger organisations.

cently a change has com over the

keep their men up in front. .throuph

amount of attention to the managerial
berth. So it has come to pass that
when a. team does poorly the first do
