P l—Like the Chicago Cubs, the New York Giants, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Brooklyn Robins, who have commanding personalities as managers, the Washington Senators are being considered more of a possibility for the American league pennant than form would justify. The reason is the established managerial ability of young Bucky Harris. Unless some great young pitchers are found in the $150,060 car load the club bought in the minors and unless Tris Speaker has had rubber serum put in his legs, the club will he no stronger than it was last year, On the other hand, with Walter Johnson out with a broken ankle and a problem being faced on the left side on the infield, the team may be weaker. But the Senators are being picked as a favorite. That is an indirect tribute to the ability of Harris and a compliment to the spirit of the club.

Champion Cardinals Are Confident Bunch Chattanooga. Tann., April 7. — ' p )—With Flint Ilhem and Tommy | Thevenow back in the line up and Ray 1 Blades and Chick Hafey recovering 1 from injuries and indisposition that handicapped them last year, the St. Louis Cardinals fee) that they are sure to win the National league pennant. Bob O'Farrell, new manager, has told the players he thinks they have a stronger club and will repeat and they believe it. The departure of Rogers Hornsby and the salary disputes which some players had with the club owners did not harm the spirit or morale of the club. Many of the players feel that the infield will be stronger at second base with Frisch, who is rated by them as a faster and better fielder although

I not aa long a hitter as Hornsby. Blades, who hud an injured knee j last year, has been working slowly back into shape and Hafey has recovered from sinus trouble. Old Alex and some of the veterans think that Jimmy Ring will be a big help to the pitching staff and that Frank Enyder will take a lot of catching burden off O'Farrell. If all the players are tn shape and if no Injuries break up the regulars, the Cardinals will have an infield as good as any in basebail, a strong outfield, an experienced pitching staff and th confidence of a team that has just won a world’s championship. <[ Fire Destroys Asphalt Plant Indianapolis, Ind.
