FANS FORCAST BRAVES' DEFEAT FOR NEXT YEAR Few Believe Team Can Repeat Miracle Performance . in 1915 and Capture Second Pennant. BY FRANK Q. MENKE, NEW YORK, Feb. 1. A bet of $500 to $100 was made in Wall street the other day that the Braves wouldn't win the 1915 pennant. The wager seems to express pretty generally the opinion of - fandom concerning the Braves' chances during the coming season. The Braves played the most wonderful baseball ever played over a stretch of ten weeks that ever ha been played in history. They beat a team in the world's series that was considered to be the greatest ever welded together, and they beat that outfit in record time. And yet, despite that great showing, despite the fact that the Braves have been strengthened considerably, only the stoutest hearted Boston fans are predicting another pennant for the Braves. The so-called wise men of baseball think that the Braves will not repeat,

BROWN BOOSTS TOTAL

Forward Makes 114 Points in Games. Brown boosted his total over LanIng's in the Anderson game making 14 points while the center was shooting 6. Pitts was the only defence man to add to his total, making 1 goal from the field. m O. Pts. Brown, F ....11 114 Laning, C 12 94 Porter, F 12 79 Harris, F 6 18 Pitts, G 12 18 Johanning, G 11 2 Bavis, G 6 2 simply because lightning isn't supposedd to strike twice in the same place, and that accidents rarely happen twice In the same way. "The Braves' victory in 1914 was of a miraculous nature," one of the wise ones tells us. "You can't expect too many miracles in this day and age. Of course, I don't Bay that the Braves haven't a chance .to repeat in 1915. They may win. All things are possible. But I don't think they will win." "Why?" we asked. "Well, their 1914 success was due to a certain extent to great ball playing and it also was due to luck. They got nearly every break in" the games between mid-Juyl and the close of the season. Time and again they seemed to be hopelessly beaten in games, yet they won out, either through some hit made at a timely moment by a man who never before hit in a pinch, or by some error made by an opposition player who averaged about one error in twenty games."

Accordlng to the wise ones, Johnny Griffiths has but one chance to take the crown away from Freddie Welsh in the contest at Akron on February 1, and that is to score a knockout. Griffiths, who recently became the lightweight champ of Australia, has shown that he can punch, and punch

but Johnny will find the champion one

ALLIANCE TO ADMIT

MEMBERS BY CARDS

Will H. During Asks Greater

Work of Broadened Membership. Membership cards were Issued .at the meeting of the German-American

Alliance yesterday afternoon, and

hereafter admission to the meetings

will only be given upon presentation of the cards. Since the broadening of the scope of the organization to include members of both American and

German parentage, the membership has been increased. William H. Duning. Jr.. president of the local alliance, urged the members to strengthen the union between Americans of German and American parentage, and to aid In the preservation of the neutrality of the United States in the present foreign conflict

Griffiths kayoed Phil Brock a stunt no other boxer has ever turned. And, as a matter of fact, any good lightweight figures to give Welsh an interesting mill over the short course. White can't show very much aside from victories over Ritchie and Welsh. Shugrue was considered very ordinary until he began winning bouts in Australia. Yet Shugrue decisively beat Welsh in New York, and later held White even in ten rounds. Welsh, however, isn't the kind of boy that Griffiths shows best against. Johnny's uppercuts. he uses the punch with either band are a menace to any opponent, champion or duffer. He will find the Welsh tyle of milling is not as susceptible to uppers as that of the rushing slam-bang fighter. Two of Johnny's greatest fights were against the latter ' type of boxers, namely Brock and Hughie Mehegan. And Johnny stopped them both.
