President of the National League |
Written for United Press NEW YORK, Apr. 15—Custom dictates that, at this time of the year, a president of a major league should be given the oppor-
‘tunity of making a prediction of the- kind of a baseball season ex--
pected in his respective circuit. There have been occasions when such a prediction has gone haywire because when a league president looked for a very close race, one of the clubs moved out
in front early and made a run-!
away of it. In the last few years, however, we in the National League have been fortunate in our predictions. ‘For instance, take a look at the last four years. In 1946, we had the first playoff .in the history of the game; the 1948 pennant wasn’t clinched by the Braves until Sept.’ 26 and last year the Dodgers didn't ‘win the flag until

Virtually all of our teams have been strengthened by winter deals or the acquisition of newcomers, many of whom will give the old. guard a hot battle for their regular jobs. Our league. I feel, has enough balance to place four or possibly five clubs into the title race. And that the American League comes up regularly with close races is shown by an inspection of the records. In 1944 and 1945 the St. Louis Browns and Detroit Tigers won flags after races that went to the final day... And fans are still talking about 1948 and 1949, when the Cleveland, New York and Boston clubs battled almost evenly right to the finish.
