CONSENSUS OF OPINION PICKS GIANTS, DETROIT Tabulation of Predictions Shows Tigers and New York Nationals Favorites to Cop in Respective Leagues. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 14. —New York and Detroit, in a consensus vote of the leading big city baseball writers, will win the major league pennant races which started this afternoon with all the usual trimmings of opening day.

From a tabulation of the predictions made by twenty of the leading big: league authorities the teams in the two major loops will finish as fbilows: National. American. New York. Detroit. Pittsburgh. • New York. Chicago. Washington. Brooklyn, Philadelphia. Cincinnati. St. Louis. St. Louis. Chicago-Cleveland. Boston. Cleveland Chicago. Philadelphia. Boston. Brooklyn and Pittsburgh were picked by several of the experts as the pennant winner in the National League, but the Giants were rather generally chosen because of the known strength of the team and its efficient management. Law of Average The one knock against the Giants was the law of averages against a team that will be called upon again to win more consecutive pennants than any other team has done in the major leagues. The Giants broke My. precedents last year when they Rocked off their fourth championship in a row. Washington received very few selections to repeat as the American League champions and some critics predicted that the team would have to fight to remain in the first division. These felt that the Senators were lucky to win last year when the Yankees took things too easily in the cocky belief that they could not be beaten. The strength of the Yankees was rather generally admitted, but it was recalled that the team is old, tracksore and less ambitious than the Detroit Tigers. - Pirates Second Pittsburgh was almost a unanimous choice for the runner-up

position in the National League and those who picked the Giants for the championship pointed out that the National League champions couldn't falter one step without being in danger of defeat. Opinion was almost evenly divided between New York and Washington as the second-place club in the American League. One surprising prediction was made that the Boston Red Sox would be the runner-up, with every ither vote assigning them to last place. Officials, managers and owners were unanimous—as usual —in predicting that this would be baseball's biggest and best year, advance sale of tickets indicating that the scandal before the world’s series last year had not injured the game. It was pointed out that Washington’s popular victory last year had served to erase any bad marks that might have been made against the pastime.

Links Tips

By Harry Vardon r^ZT'l ROPERLY timing the stroke I P I is the main art of driving, at I * I least most of it. 'Timing is connected up with the adjustment of the moves of the body during the course of the swing as it makes its upward and downward progress toward hitting the ball. * * • The weight of the club is of enormous importance. Picking out a club of just the proper weight to coincide with the strength and swing of the player is a fine point and one that has more to do with the game than most players realize. • • • Unless a player has had a good deal of experience, and even that doesn’t necessarily follow, he would do well to consult his pro when making a selection. • • • Personally I would put i tdown as a rule that the longer and faster a player swings, the lighter his club should be. Naturally a player using a short deliberate stroke should use a heavy driver.

All of the major league clubs did not make money last season. Some of them lost money, but there were reasons and these reasons always will have the same effect upon clubs that are down in the race. “It has become almost a habit with the officials who have been In the game for another year to be optimistic in the spring when we arrive at the opening of the season,” John A. Heydler, president of the National League said today. “We have seen the game grow and become so firmly established in the affection of the public that we do not figure when the season starts — ‘will it be a success?’— but we look for reasons why It should not be a success. .We find no reason this year to have any doubts that baseball has the same popularity as it has been having.” MILWAUKEE —Joey Sangor. local lightweight. outpointed Pete Sarmiento.

WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILBS ARB BUILT, BUICK WILL BUILD THEM

Questions Why are more women driving Buicks than any other make of 6-cylinder car? Answer t One reason is the striking appearance of this famous motor car. Then comes Buick dependability. A woman knows when she starts out with her Buick that she will “get there and back.” Other reasons are —the comfort in driving a Buick the velvet clutch action, easy steering; then the power and quietness of Buick’s Valve-in-Head engine and the safety of Buick mechanical four-wheel brakes.
