The World's Champion Giants load the Eastern forces through the West, white the Yank champions of the American League will die in with the other East < rn elubs to meet the tirst ware from the wild anti wooly. Both the Giants and the Yanks, regarded as prospective repeaters, have had r.n easy time gobbling tip the Eastern dubs and their tirst test comes now as the bulk of strength seems to be 1n the West in l-oth leagues. The Giants, hitting like trip hammers and getting tine pitching from veterans ore in a good po -ifion for the test even if they do have -tart against the tough Cardinals. Me i raw is starting with a big lead and r-prospects. i :.e Vinks are favored by the/schedule, vhieli feeds them with the White Sox and the Tigers until May 218 when Ruth and Meiisel return to meet the Browns i ihcir first appearance. I'assing the tirst eighth pole of the race, both leagues are setting a pace almost to form. The American League, with the ex- • option of Washington and the White Vox. ig running up to expectations. Washington is next to last because of p"<>r pitching and the inclination of the dub to sympathize with itself. The White Sox are the surprise of the year and they will be a sensation if they linger long in the first division. The Cubs and the Braves are not following the dope in the National League. Pitching troubles have the Bravos In last place and fine hurling has the Cubs running tip behind the Giants. The Braves (•an lie counted upon to get together an ! the young pitchers of the Cubs may not last beyond the tirst hot spell. The Vt. Louis clubs look to be the Pams that have to be beaten for the j unaat.

Billy Evans Says

One Star Player Sometimes Makes Winner One man has quite often made a ball club. The latest illustration of this is to be had In Cleveland where John (Stuffy) Melnnis. the pride of Gloucester, has suddenly made the Indians the big threat In the American League race. Rabbit Maranvllle. with a pair of big hands, came near pulling Pitts burgh to a pennant last year. It was Ihe addition of Maranvllle that "made'" the Pittsburgh team. The New York Giants rode tn a world's championship on Ihe slender shoulders "f Dave Bancroft and Babe Ruth's bulky shoulders carried the New York Yankees to an American League championship. Cleveland was runner-up last season. Cleveland was figuratively and literally "one man shy of a championship.” The Cleveland team, world’s champions In 1920, were declining and all agreed that Speaker most get new blood to build up his faltering hosts. But Speaker did better than that—he got Melnnis. 'lhe Cleveland defense, strong as a whole, was weak In spots and the weakest spot was first base. Then, last winter, Cleveland landed Melnnis and bolstered the team in its weakest point. -i- -1- -1- *!- -I* -IPresence of Stuffy Steadies Cleveland It is n<>t alone the sparkling play of Melnnis. for tn date he has played the best baseball of his career, hut the psychological effect of having the groat fielding Stuffy on first base that has had such remarkable effect, upon the Cleveland team and that makes a great many people believe teat another American League championship is on Its way to Cleveland. Melnnis is not alone a great individual player, but he Is a remarkable man wheu it comes to holding up an infleld and the pitchers. Cleveland's weakness, according to the experts. Is questionable. If Cleveland can get good pitching the Indians look to be one of the best ball teams In recent history. But, speaking of pitching, the success of a pitcher depends mostly upon his defense and when it comes to defense Cleveland right now ha* the best defense in the American League, so the matter of pitching should be taken good care of, chiefly because of the coming of Melnnis. If Cleveland ride* to another pennant the predominating figure In the Indian-' com! ark wil! he the former fisher boy of Gloucester.

Rex Beach is the best posted big game hunter In America today! Quite an assertion, you say. Well. I don't think so. In fact I’ll go a bit stronger and say that Rex Beach is the most experienced all-round big game hunter, small game hunter and angler in America. Incidentally, Beach has no reason to brag about his hunting and angling accomplishments. He hunts aud fishes because they are his hobbles, expensive ones at that. Quite., a little fame lias come to him as a fiction writer. No doubt with fiction writing fame goes some few emoluments. Beach went to Alaska with the "Klondike gold rush of '97 to get rich." We don't know what were his fortunes as a seeker of gold. We do know, however, that In Alaska he became inculcated with an Insatiable desire for brown and grizzly bear hunting, which he maintains is the greatest of all sports. Several times he has returned to Alaska to hunt. Not only bear, hut sheep, goat, moose and caribou as well. Next to that lie likes duck hunting. Likes It so well that down on the North Carolina coast he has provided
