M.o h 23, at 7 (X) pm in will be at Pitt burgh FROM THAT DAY ON OUT it aHI be Ann-m a s favorite pastime as the 20 teams aim fur the top spot in their respective leagues with anticipations of eventually becoming the World's Ch un; ions Thu Yankees are installed as favorites in th* Amei i<an la-ague. s<mwthing that is almos' a sure bet each pnng Ln the N itional, things k k a little diffei nt San Fi .mcisco. lais Angele and Cincinnati arc all rank I among the teams to beat and >f course, that surpnsu can always come about. SOME VERY PLEASANT surprises did occur last year in the American leaguo, as Minnvso. ta finished s< ond and Iy>s Ange les third The Angels w ere only in th r second year as a team, ami apparently have improved again this year. The Phillies in the Nati nal League made th<-ir pies<nce known last year and St LouiA i- another club that on paper has improved with their trades <upe- < ially if their pitching staff hohls tip. WE DON’T HAVE TIME OR space to take a complete rundown of all the teams now as we wood like but Detroit could be a ( on tender again if Frank Guys arm is sound and no unfortunate injuries occur such as Kaline s last year Beaton wa- moM active this past winter in tb<. trading market and sn-ms to have improved in several rcs|>e< ts When Boston was a power years ago, it was on hitting and they have b.'.fed up their lineup with s>n • hitting tins umter.
