Cre-season predictions of the winners in the major league races wre based largely upon the s're and quality 6f the various hurling staffs. With six pitchers—Ruether Sallee. Flsner. Eller. King and I.uque—who ranked among the lenders last season. Pat Moran was the unanimous choice to repeat with his champion Reds. The Giants, rated as a sure contender around th~ circuit, drew consideration through the possession of five sterling - performers—Tonc-y, Douglass, Barnes, Ncbf and Benton. But of Moran's qtiiiyet of mound aces, only Ruether and Rfng have delivered and the Reds are just hanging to the top. The whole \ew York staff collapsed and the Giants, handicapped further by a sad infield, are down near the bottom. The Brooklyn Dodgers came up from the Jacksonville training camp with the best staff In the league. Pfeifer, Grimes, Cadora and Marquard pitched Hobby's club right to the top, Ijagf -n they cracked the team cracked.
