PICKS WHITE SOX TO FINISH SEVENTH

Fielder A. Jones, former manager of the Chicago White’ Sox, and now a resident of Portland, Ore., Was asked the other day to express an opinion on the outcome of the American league race, and the chances of his former teammates in the pennant chase. ‘ “Philadelphia should repeat In a walk, with Detroit as a possible contender for a portion of the season,” said Jones. “The Athletics as just as strong aB last year and should win again as handily. New York looks to be good for third place, while Cleveland and Boston will fight It out for fourth and fifth positions. Washing-

ton, with Walter Johnson, ought to get sixth position, while the White Sox I place at seventh, unless St Louis shows a greater improvement than I believe possible. Comiskey is shy on pitchers, and the American league race will be a pitchers’ battle again this season. “In the National league Chicago and New York will fight it out with Cincinnati as a possible contender il Griff's bad actors behave.”
