The start of the final month of training before the official opening of the 1928 baseball season finds the peftant winners of last year favored to repent. The New York Yankees, of course, are an obvious guess in the American League, while the Pittsburgh Pirates, strengthened In the infield, aro the choice of a majority of critics In the National League. Despite this majority opinion, which quite frequently is confounded in September, neither the Yankees nor the Pirates aro going to have a walki over. Miller Huggins* club seems on .paper to be unbeatable, yet a slump here and (here, a weak pitching staff, , a possible accident or two, and it ' would not be Impossible for some other club to slip past the Yanks in the final dash and provide one of those upsets for which baseball is ! famous i The Philadelphia Athletics are the ! best bet to dk> so, if it can be done. 1 Next come the Washington Senators. I who will be close up to the leaders this year. Either of these clubs i Might head off the world's champions. The other Ainendcan League con- | tenders figure to fight it out among themselves. The reorganized Indians I hardly will be stiong enough in their I first season io put up much of a bat- ; tie. The St. Louis Browns and the t Boston Red Sox can be counted upon ’ to fit snugly into the second division, Detroit and Chicago are not pennant probabilities this year. Looking ahead to next September, the probable standing of the American J,eague clubs at the finish would eeem to be: • 1. New York 2. Philadelphia 3. Washington 4. Chicago 5. Detroit 6. St. Louis 7. Cleveland 8. Boston. Which, after all, is not very different from the 1927 standing. It is al- ) ways difficult to figure a ball club's ' gain or loss in strength this early In the year Certainly the winter trades shook things up, but. the strength seems to have been added to the strong, except in the ease of the Yankees. Miller Huggins couldn’t have made a trade this year if he had offered Babe Ruth and Ixnt Gehrig for a fair southpaw pitcher. No club would risk adding strength to the world's cham- | pions. ( in the National League, the 1928 I pennant race should be quite as furi ious as last season's, with even more I clubs than before battling within I striking distance of the flag.

cult is like playing bean bag with a stick of dynamite, for the standing Is quite likely to be completely upset by the gain or loes of a game or two at almost any stage of the face. The St. Cardinals, if their veteran pitchers hold up, look to be the most dangerous rivals of the Pirater. One possible result of the coming race is: 1. Pittsburgh 2. St. Louis 3. Chicago 4. Cincinnati 5. Nov; York, 6. Boston 7. Philadelphia 8. Brooklyn. And that, after all, is too much like the 1927 result to be probable. o Gene Tunney “Too Busy” To Visit French Lick French Lick, Ind., Mar. 15.—(U.R)— Gene Tunney. heavyweight boxing hampion, is "too busy" to come here 'or his spring vacation, this year, acording to a wire the champion sent o Tc-in Taggart, at the French Lick Springs hotel.
