With the balance uT jsiwer more evenly dislrllmied in the National It ague and the invitieihllity of the Phlladi lpiil i Alhletiew shallered by the St. lands Cardinals ill the last world series, (hero Is every i indication dial lasi year’s two 'runaway races will not lie repeat ► . d The Athletics won the, 1021 pete, mint by 1 .t*4, games and will lie (after their fourth straight pennant and a new American league record. The Cardinals finished 112 games in front las: year and will. be after their third consecutive, pennant. As a prelude lo (be grand opening. President I louver threw out the first ball yesterday at Wash ; iMgton. where the Senasirs defeated the Boston lied Sox. i n. in It) j innings. j There won’t Ire any crowd to rival last year's "n.titM) gathering at Yankee stadium, lint with fair weather about 120,000 will see the four National le. gite games and alsmt sn.iiuii the quartet of American league contests. Brooklyn probably will draw the day's ldgg-.i-i i rowd wbb h way • xeeed • 25,0011. ' With definite indieations of a swing liai k to pitching, speisl and 1 inside baseball, the 1022 season inav witness fmliter decline in home runs and long distance hilling. Major league managers, with , f> w excep ions, have Imilt their

teams for more speed and less power. The New Yoik Yankees, with baseball's iwo prettiest sluggers, Halie llullt and lam Gehrig, will i out ill III* lo exemplify power, bill ■ veil ibis team will atjempi to keep pare with l lie changing icehniiiue. The Yank:, will balance their | lower willi two dashing rookie luflelders, Frank Crosi-ttl hi. if Jack Sally.gaver, and the fleet Benny Cliapm hi, and many i xpiM’t tlie result in Is* a pennant w Inner. Tlie fate of Itie world champion S l.imis < animals is decidedly uncertain as an aftermath of bold trading of Charles (Chirk) llafey. Nation il league hatting champion, ami Burleigh Grimes, one of the team's three host pitchers last year, and the disp .sal of other players since the 1931 season. Gabby Street, who lias won Iwo pennants in his two years at the helm. i.s gambling on two rix>kie pitchers from the Texas league, I tizzy Dean and Tex Carleton. to make up for tin l loss of Grimes, who wop 17 games last year. He lias converted Jim (the ripper I Collins from a first baseman into an outfielder lo take Matey's place in left ftajd. The New York Gi.ints. with the strongest array, John J. McGraw has gathered since 1!I24. appear to have tlie strength to battle tlie Card.mils and any other eon end ers down tlie stretch unless Hugh Orlt*'s uncertain throwing arm takes him off second gase or trouble d velops in the catching depar Intent Gen Koenecke. the |7s.tM)n riMikie from Indianapolis, has made tlie Giants' outfield and ihe pitching staff of Walker, Hub-! liell. Fitzsimm «ns, Mooney, Luque, Mitchell and Gibson looks like the league's best. The Culis. strong in the (mix and] defensively, are handicapped by I the temporary loss of Shortstop Woody Knglisli. who lias a broken I finger, and lack a hard-hitting j outfielder. Cincinnati, which has acquired the greatest number of new play ers in ei her league, threatens to desert the cellar and make trouble for all. The Cards used the Reds as stepping stones to the pennant last year by winning 2u out of 22 games from them. With Hafey, Babe Herman. Grantham. Gilbert. Gonthui.li and Dontbit on hand, he Reds have ..11 kinds of posdbililies but lack pitching to snoot for higher than thirfl or fourth. In the American league Connie Mack is standing pat on liis 1321 lineup, expecting Grove. Karnshaw and Waloerg to strong arm their wav around the league again Mickey Cochrane, the As erf a catcher, lias in en bothered hv in juries but will start (lie season. If Cochrane should lie laid up any length of lime, i' might m*an dis aster for the .Vs. i'hilatlelphiu's reserve strength is better Hun a year ago. but some of the veterans are showing signs of wear and tear. Outside of the Yankees, Wash ington appear the only id her American hagne leant with pen 'mint possibilities. The Senators re starting without .Its 1 Cronin.
