RUTH PICKS YANKEES, CUBS TO COP LEAGUE PENNANTS

Babe Sees Close Race W ith Macks Athletics Weak in Infield, Swat King Asserts: Ranks Clubs. itU United Press ST. PETERSBURG. Fla.. March 26.—Babe Ruth believes that the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs will meet in the 1930 world series. In naming the Yankees for first place in the American League. Ruth exceeded the optimism of Manager Shawkey, who last week said the Yanks and Athletics had an even chance for the pennant. “A great ball club repeats, and I don’t think the Athletics are a great ball club —not with that infield.” announced the Babe. Except in the cases of the New York and Philadelphia clubs, Ruth adhered closely to the final standings of 1929 in his American League predictions for this year. In the National League he picked Cincinnati to advance from seventh to third place. Here Is how Ruth says the clubs wil) finish on Sept. 28: Amrrlrao FlnKh National la-acu. Now York first Cbiraeo Philadelphia second rilblursh Cleveland third Cincinnati St. Louis fourth New Vork Octroi! fifth St. Louis Chieaeo sisth Philadelphia tVashfnxtnu seventh Brooklyn Bo.ton elrhth Boston Closest Race Since 1922 According to Ruth, the American League is due for its tightest race since 1922, when the Yankees beat the Browns by one game. Six clubs are stronger, he says, while the Athletics will be just about what they were in 1929 and the Senators will be weaker than they were last season. •’Give the Yankees a little pitching and they will overpower the league.” said Ruth. “We have the club in eithe-r league. Our pitching is bound to be much better "To beat us the Athletics will have to duplicate their 1929 pitching. and I say they can't do it. Foxx and Simmons were over their heads last season. And look at that infield! Dykps. Boley and Bishop out of position. Reds Will Cause Trouble "I have wanted a Yankee-Cub series for some years, and this time well get it. The National League will be at the mercy of the Cubs because it hasn't developed enough pitching strength to bother Joe McCarthy’s outfit. ‘Cincinnati will be the trouble maker in the National League, but won't have the power to finish higher than third.

Art Signs White Sox Contract Shires Faces Real Fight to Regain Berth From Bud Clancy. BY BERT DEMBY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March £6.—Now that Charles Arthur Shires has agreed to play baseball with the Chicago White Sox for $7,000 this year, the general opinion among baseball fans seems to be that the Sox have a bargain. Charles Arthur, the mast publicized man in baseball during the last winter, turned in his contract Tuesday and today he was on his way to San Antonio, Tex., to begin training. Despite Comiskey’s assertion that Shires, in his opinion, doesn’t have any great amount of drawing power, the fans are of the opinion that Art’s color, combined witli his admitted ability at first basing, will draw fans to the park. Shires’ long absence from the training camp may cause him to have to put up a real fight to get his job back. Bud Clancy has been doing well at the first basing job, particularly in his hitting, and he probably will put up a real fight to hold the job.
