PILOTS PICK A’s, CUBS

Open Race Predicted in National Athletics, Yanks Named as Class of American League. ft v f nit'll Pr'H NEW YORK. April 14.—An open National League race and another dual between the Philadelphia Athletics and the New York Yankees is indicated by the comments of the sixteen major league managers on the eve of the 1930 pennant races. Most of the American League managers concede that the Athletics and Yankees are the class of the league, while at least four National League leaders have high hopes of taking the pennant from the Chicago Cubs. Comments of major league managers for the United Press follow: AMERICAN LEAGUE Connie Mack (Athletics)—lf we get the b.pakK and our pitching is up to standard. the Athletics will finish right around t.i: top. The league has strengthened eonstdcrablv and the Yankees will be a tough team to beat. Bob Shawkev (Yankees'—l believe the Yankees are at least on par with the Athletics. with the other six teams strung out behind us. 1 think Detroit will finish third and Cleveland fourth. A great deal depends upon our pitching, but I think some of our younger pitchers are apt to help us a lot, particularly Gomel. Roger Pecktnpaugh (Indians)—l expect Cleveland to finish as well as they did last rear. The teams we will have to beat to land third place are St. Louis and Detroit. Tire Indians will be stronger because of an Improved infield and better pitching. BUI Klllefer (Browns*—The Browns have a better team than they had last rear, but I do not care to make any predictions until I have seen the other clubs In action. T expect Gray and Crowder to have big vear Ted Gulllc In right field has trengthened the outfield. Walter Johnson (Senators) —I think Washington has the best defensive club In the leagu'-. and we are going to surprise with our attack, too. Alt f want Is for our ■ oung pitchers to come through. If they do. tne Senators will have a lot to say about who wins the pennant even If they don't. Buckv Harris (Tigers—l am making only one prediction about the pennant race. I am Quite sure the Tigers will finish higher than sixth place this year. I like our outfield I think it is one of the best In the league, with Funk a coining star. We have a., much power as last year, and have strengthened the weak defensive spots. Donle Bush (White Sox)— I never make nv prediction, but I think the White Sox will prove a hustling, hard-working team. If tne Browns or Cleveland show any signs of slipping, we have a good chance to get into the first, division. Jollev has Improved the team s attack considerably. Helnle Wagner (Red Sox*—l do not know what our chances are. but I believe the Red Sox will be much better than in recent years. I expect much from our pitching staff. NATIONAL LEAGUE Joe McCarthy (Cubs—The Cubs ought to be stronger, better fortified and better balanced than they were last year when thev won the pennant. I think we are sure to win the pennant again. It would require some tough breaks that would take away one or two of our stars to keep us from winning again. The return or Hartnett to form will give us the best catcher In the league. Jewel Ens (Pirates) —The Pirates have a ’ oung team with speed, dash and hitting power and should have much to sav about the pennant. Gus Suhr has bolstered the team at first base and he looks like a great hitter. John J. McGraw (Giants)—Chicago will be the team to beat but I have a hunch the Cubs won't get the breaks they did last season. The Giants, as always, will be up in the money. Marshall seems capable of 'sklng care of second base, and Pruett. Lucas and Parmalec have strengthened our Ditching staff. Gabby Street (Cardinals) —I am optimistic enough to predict that the Cardinals trill be a serious contender In the 1930 race. The 1929 club was strong enough to lead the league until the pitching collapsed in June. I am sure we will have better pitching this vear. Nallahan, Rhein and Grabowskt promise to win many games. Burt Shotton (Phillies*—The Phillies should finish In first division. They are better than last ’-ear —how much better I can not determine now. Alexander is going to be a big help. We have an Infield equal to anv In baseball, a hard-hitting outfield and better reserves than we have had in years. Wilbert Robinson (Robins) —I am pot making anv predictions, but I claim that the Brooklyn team Is the strongest I have ever brought up from the soutn. Taxing batting and fielding combined. I have the strongest Infield I ever had and the outfield is improved. I am inclined to favor the Cub* to repeat, but I expect the Robins to hold a prominent place In the race. Dan Howley (Reds) —If continued effort to produce a winning team from the material at hand will bring about an Improvement the Reds will be much better than a vear ago. The whole squad Is striving hard. If our pitching Is satisfactory we mav be the surprise of tho league. Bill McKechntc (Braves)—lt seems to me that everv National League team has Improved and I look for the race to be the hottest In vrars. As for the Braves. I am trying to rebuild a cellar team. It Is foolish to talk about a club in the process of being rebuilt. I expect a better attack, stronger pitching, and big things from some of the new players. Where we'll finish. I won't venture to predict. POLL!
