preparing to flash across the I aseball ! firmament, the malor league season of 1921 open on eastern and western diamonds Wednesday. While there will be no change in the well-established circuits of either the National or American leagues there will be many new faces in the personnel of the IS clubs composing the two organisations. With the call of the umpires sending the players away on their six month's pennant chase, the National league will have inaugurated its 46th consecutive reason as the senior association clubs played their initial games early in 1S76. In the American league it will mark the beginning of the 22nd season as the junior league was formed in 1900. Notwithstanding the unprecedented popularity of baseball during the past two years, club owners and league officials are firm in their belief that the national sport is facing a still greater period of prosperity in the months to come and have made their plans accordingly. iJtxger training squads went south this spring than in many years and every effort has been made to strengthen weak spots in both the offensive and defensive play of the various clubs. The accompanying survey of the teams on the eve of the pennant season gives a few high lights on the prospects and possibilities of each combination: Cincinnati Reds. When the Reds take the field for the opening game of the season in Cincinnati on April 13 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, they will be a remodeled ball club from that which won the national league pennant and the scandalous world series in 1919. Unless E. Roush, center fielder and Henry Groh, third baseman, who are holdouts, capitulate and return to the lineup, there will be only three of the I Reds of 1919 in the game . They will be Pat Duncan m left field, Jake Dau-1 nun anrsi aim ivj mgu urmuu mr bat. Even the appearance of Jake Daubert depends upon the condition he is in for playing, as the veteran plaver did not go with the team to Texas for spring training. If he is 1 not in shape. Pitcher Rube Bressler, j who is the handy man of the outfit will be perched on the first station. . At second will be Louis Fonseca, obtained from a western league. Fonseca is one of the best finds of the playing season. He has clinched the regular job at second bat-e, unless Groh returns, it being the intention of Manager Maron to put Groh at second base if he signs up. But the veteran will have a hard time replacing Fon- j seca if at all. I Crane at Shortfield. j At the shortfield will be Sam Crane. I Larry Kopf, the shortstop of the team j

Charlie See, will hold down cen-1 tor nnip94 Rousn returns. in mat event See will be shifted to right where once roamed Earle Xeale, who was traded to the Philadelphia Nationals. If Roush continues to hold out, the veteran George Paskert will be in riR'ht. Eller. Luque, Fisher are the only pitchers on the 1919 team left to Moran. Ring, R,uether and Sallee j have gone. The team as at pies-1 cnt constituted has deveiopea unexpected strength at the bat and the work of the infield has been high-class. Manager Moran believes that he has gathered together an ambitious team a club that will win far more games that it will lose. The fans believethat it is sure to finish in the first division and perhaps very high up in select circles should Roush and Groh be wearing the red when the gon? sounds for the first battle Philadelphia (Phillies).

Such is the! On th whole, the chances of the opinion of sporting writers who have flub will depend on the number of been sizing up the team in its prac- veterans batting up to their 1920 form tice games at Gainesville, Fla., and onUnd the pitching staff coming through its more recent barnstorming tour 1 everr better than it did last year, northward.

Of the new men. those who seem to have the best chance to retain regular positions are John Peters and Frank Bruggy. another backstop. The infield, it is said, is not reas-1 suring. The loss of Paulette weakens the first base position. Neither Jack Miller nor Meusel measures up to his defensive standard. Fletcher at short, Rawlings at. second and third base an unsolved problem between Ralph Miller and Russel Wrightstone is the forecast. Donovan is said to be depending upon Williams, Neale and Stengel as the outfield trio, which, in the opinion of the experts, will make that department stronger than the rest of th? Quaker machine.

Manager McGraw and his assistants Hughey Jennings and Jesse Burkett with Cozy Dolan helping out, certainly form a staff of directors and instructors which could not be duplicated by any other club in the National league. With plenty of pitchers and an excellent, catching staff to pick from, everything looks good in these departments. The infield seems to be working well together while in the absence of Benny Kauff, Brown at center is filling the place acceptably with Young and Burns at their old positions in the outfield. Sickness and injuries during the training trip impaired the usefulness of Dave Bancroft at short. "Goldie" Rapp at third and Frank Frisch, the "Fordham flash," at second, but. all three may be the regular men at these infield positions at the opening of the season, with Kelly at the first sack. McGraw has had more luck with his pitchers than he experienced a year ago in the South. Douglas. Nehf, Sallee and Ryan came to prime form quickly while Toney, Barnes and Shea were slower in getting into playing trim. Snyder, Smith and Gonzales with Gaston make up the catching staff and outside of the batteries, the lineup for the opening game may read as follows: Burns, Bancroft, Frisch, Young, Kelly, Brown and Rapp. St. Louis Cardinals. With added strength on the mound Manager Branch Rickey expects to enhance the chances of the Cardinals in this years pennant race. Havin lf d the Ntjonal in batting with 2j!9 and bel..p we up whh the ,ead. iers in scoring runs last season. Manager Rickey assumes that the ' punch'' will continue in evidence and that his team will do better than tie for the top of the second division where it finished in 1920. The Cardinals will ire?ent a reararanged infield. Rogers Hornsby has been shifted over to third base, and George Toporcer, a bespectacled recruit without previous professional experience, has succeeded Horasby at second. vFournier and Lavan, are back at first and short, respectively, atRi Harold Janvrin is again available for the utility role. The veterans. McHenry, Heatfcoote, Sehultz, and Shotton are in line how ever. The catchers. Clei ions. Dilhoefer and MoCarty. are in line, likewise the veteran pitchers. Schupp., Sherdel. North. Brooklyn Dodgers Brooklyn's chances in the National League this year wou'd seem to depend more upon the charged condi tions in the other club-, than upon an i estimate or tne superbas own strength. They will start the season with practically the same line-up with which they won the champions-hip la?t year. They still have the same powerful pitching staff and it is possible that Cadore and one or two others of the pitchers may be even better than in 1920. The infield situation is uncertain be cause of tne ageing of Ivan Olson. Pete Kilduff will again be. at second and Jimmy Johnston at third. Both were getting better every day last, season. Behind the bat the prospects are uncertain. Otto Miller, became a s-far again. Whether he ran repeat this year is another question. Ernest Kruegor was an erratic thrower last reason and probably will be second string ca.tcher this season. The old outfielder of Zack Wheat, Hi Myers. and Tommy Griffith have all instilled into the players a spirit that was totally lacking last season, in the judgment of critics. The coming season will b the second time Evers has been in command of the club. For years he was a member of the team, covering second base with the famous "Tinker to Evers to Chance" combination. The Cuts have added little new material of worth and have lost one man, Davy Robertson, who was suspended because of failure to report. Manager Evers regards his pitching staff as one of the bett in the league with Alexander. Tyler and Vaughn forming the backbone of the depart- ' ment. Tho infield presents a new first baseman to fill the gap caused by the release of Fred Merkle. Turner Barber, who played the position' for a time last season, and a trio of youngslers Ray Grimes. Tom Whalen and Alfred Young are fighting for the berth, with the chances

favoring Grimes or'at first base. The remainder of the

Brher. Zeb Terry, who ran second in field - ing last season, will pgain be at seo - ond base, while Charlv Hollocher will .operate at short. Charles Deal is looked upon as the regular third base man. There will be no change behind the bat. Killefer will do the bulk of the catching, with Bob O'Farrell second string man. and Tom Daly operating chiefly as pinch hitter. In the outfield, Evers has a great array of talent. Max Flack will be in right field as usual, with Maisel, purchased from Portland, as the choice for left. Twonibly and Friberg are candidates for center, although neither is regarded as a finished fielder. Rarber may draw the assignment later. The Cleveland Americans, world's champion baseball team, will start the season with the same lineup that won last year's baseball classic. All the members of last year's team believe the Indians will win the pennant again this year. The Cleveland pitching staff this

year will have the same "Big Four" Coveleskie, hero of last year's world series; Bagby, Caldwell and Mails, the team's sensational lefthander. The Indians' catching staff, headed j by Steve ONeill, is said to be as strong as any in the league.

They are Ernie Johnson, a former major leaguer, who managed and played shortstop for Salt Lake last season; Eddie Mulligan, third baseman, and Earl Sheeley, first baseman, who led the Pacific Coast league in hitting last season with an average of .371 As a nucleus from which Manager I Gleason hopes to build another star team, these players Are available: Eddie Collins, rated as one of the great second basemen in the game; Faber and Kerr, pitchers, Ray Schalk. a star catcher and Amos Strunk and Harry Hooper, outfielders, acquired from Boston in a trade. ! Gleason thinks his chances for a! winning club lie in his pitching staff. : Of the old staff there are left 1 ' 1 1 " ' jKerr, Urban Faber and Roy Wilkin son, or the recruits, Hodge, Davenport and McWeeney give promise of developing into regulars.

Harry Hooper, former captain of the Red Sox, is certain of a berth in right field. Strunk will start the season in left.

Philadelphia Athletics From Connie Mack's training camp has come the following estimate of the team: The pitching is better and the general morale of the club is much better than a year ago, but there are signs that aggressiveness is lacking. The strength of the organization lies in its pitchers. Five of them Perry, the veteran. Naylor, Rommel, Hasty and Harris, hurl from the starboard side, while Roy Moore, who completes the sextet, is left-handed Frank Brazil has proved the bright 'particular star in hitting, and appears to have won himself a permanent job infield probably will be Dykes at sec'ond and Duggan at third.

New York Yankees With the wealth of playing material at his disposal Manager Miller Huggins, of the New York Americans, is finding it difficult to place properly his various players. Stars from both major and minor leagues have flashed brilliantly during the spring training at Shreveport. For the three outfield positions Huggins has a number of hard-hitting candidates of whom "Babe" Ruth. Ping Bodie, Bobby Roth, Meusel and Connelly are the outstanding stars. Behind the bat Wally Schang and Fred Hoffman are expected to do the majority of the catching while Carl Mays, Bob Shawkey, Walter Hoyt, Harry Harper, Jack Quinn and Bill Piercy will have first call upon the hurling assignments.

"Haw ta (Copyright 1021 By Klac Keatarea Syadieate, Inc., No job orua ball club is of more importance than backstopping. A good catcher can make a ball club; a poor one can ruin the efforts of an all-star aggregation. A great catcher can i ; transform an ordinary collection of moundsmM1 ,nto tru!- greats; a poor catcher can kill oft the effectiveness of the brilliant teammates. What are the requisites in catching?
