"The teams are all evenly matched and It seem to be anyone's raca." "Everything points to a banner season In baseball," paid Charles W. Murr-hy. former owner of the Chicago Cuba and an ardent fan. "I look for a great renewal of interest In the national sport find think many will find a welcome re'.'ef in these days of industrial and commercial ehaoti following the world war." Tho pesnlmlst9 claim the "boost In the pate" will cut down the tempo of they turnstiles sons but it is not likely. "With the exception of the Rabe Roth deal, very few changes have been made In the personnel of the major leegue clubs. They all go to the wir with practically tho same make-up that finished last season. They are all evenly matched. All Confident. The club bouses and manacers, of course, are all confident of winning as is indicated by these "before the battle" tafments August Herrmann, president of the Champion Cincinnati Reds "Manager Moran, as is characteristic of him. Isn't making any promises or predictions. Hut I am optimistic. "We have the same team that won the championship last year." Charlert Comiskey, owner of the White Sox: "Barring accidents. I expect to sea the "White Fox at the top all the way through the season. We have a stronger pitching staff than last year and the team is just as stronjr in other departments." Manager John McCraw, of the Giants: "With oue of the. host pitching staffs In th league and a stronff club, the prospects of the Giants were, never better. We will finish at the top I believe." Manager Ilugglr.s of the Yankees; "The Yankees are the strongest team In the league. With Rood luck we should "win." Frank J. Navin. president of the Timers: "Detroit has to be reckoned with this reason. The Yankees and the Indians are the only ones to bother us. I think e'll win." Trie Speaker, manaper of the TndUns: "Everyone is pickinc Cleveland to -win the pennant. If we don't tt probably will be a t c disaprointment We have a strong club, a better balanced pitching taff than last year and you know what a race vre mad then." Xotht:ig Rut Cub-. William Veeck. president of the Cubs: "There's nothing to It but the (Tubs. They have the best team in vears and they are going to win the pennant. It's point; to be the biggest !Xaon In haseball history." Barney Preyfuss, president of the Pirates: "Manager Gibson isn't making any rash statements. Neither am I. We have a strong club and we'll be up elevse to the top." Manager Robinson of the Dodgers: "Brooklyn is strong where the elub was weak last year. Our pitchers are in excellent condition and we have a lot of r. pvc power. We'll be in the fi rrt division." Branch Rickey. president and manager of the Cards: "Don't count the Cardinals out of it too soon. The Reds proved that anything i? possible. Watch us grow." Manager Cravath of the Phillies: "Count on the Phils to make a pood rsce. We'll be there with the rest of them u-hen the gt-ag rings " Manager StalMncs of the Braves"Everything depends on the Boston r.ltfhr:. If thy live up to hopes weTi land In th first four." Rrmms Cot ky. Manager Burke of the St. Ixniis Brooms: "We have a ball chib that wfTl kerp the boys b-;y to keep nheAd of ts. We are not much on claiming pennants but w. win try ani 1st the rest of the club? know xr r? in the lenpue " Mar.agrr Mack of the Athl tic: Vur club is composed of young players entirely.

Mr. Johnson held a brief conference with John Heyd rr, president of the National league hero Tuesday and said he woud confer with him again in a day or two. Mr. Heydler will attend the opening game of the season in New York tomorrow and Mr. Johnson will attend the opening game in Philadelphia. "We never had any real difficulty in deciding on a chairman," said Johnson. "In fact, Heydler and I had been working smoothly totogether. The men whom we approached have put up conditions and stipulations which required our thought and consideration. These conditions held up more than .any differences over Individuals." Mr. Johnson conferred here Tuesday with Umpires Connolly, Dlneen. Moriarty and Nallin on the rules. He said he already had discussed them with Umpires Evans and Chill in Cleveland. The new rules will be strictly enforced in the American league, both in spirit and letter, he declared.

King Baseball will truly corr.e into his own Sunday, May 2, when the annual interhall baseball league at Notre Daame gets underway officially. The varsity is the center of ba-seball interest at Notre DaJiie these days but said interest is only lukewarm compared to the way its temperature rises shortly after the Interhall season is eleclared open. Notre Dame's interhall baseball batiks have done more in the past to keep the university on the baseball map than any other one thing. The climax of the Notro Du me baseball season proper is when the interhall league climax or climaxes is reached. The cairupus will eat, sleep, dream, and play baseball during the coming season which already promises to be the "greatest ever." Corby Claims Cluimplonhlp.s. Corby Hall, the overshadowing athletic power of the university campus Ls out already with claims of the title. The Corbyites tigure that it Dorals makers any real cuts in his j-iuad at all they will be vastly benefited in the: way of hurlers and mi'ielders. The mainstay of the e'orhy team will be Ivan fcjhapp, a l urler from the wilds of Oregon 'vim has been making the varsity Muggers stand on their head's to ;eh his offeiings in the recent ; -'rash-Varsity series.

The Sorin Hall -iUKitioa is a mystery of the blackesl die. Sorin scouts are claiming aii pi o-re.-s is being made at iong stie.iiious night drills.

Come reports from Cleveland now that Bill Henry is due for a good!

cleaning w hen he meets Teddy Murphy in South Bend Thursday night, April 22. The sport scribes in the Ohio metropolis all claim that Teddy is almost the precise counterpart of Packey McFarland, former lightweight idol and near champion. Teddy has been in Cleveland training for his bout with Matt

Brock in that city tonight. While there he acted as sparring partner fr Johnny Kilbane, champion I featherweight, and picked up many t

valuable pointers from the master. Packey McFarland also went to Cleveland to assist putting on the finishing touches with Teddy, and the Cleveland scribes believe that he will show Brock many gloves ere the 10 rounds are over. Praise Teddy. Ike Bernstein, manager of Teddy, is loud in praise of his boy. Bernstein was Packey's manager and when he first saw Teddy working out in Pat Conroys gym in Chicago he batted his eye to see if it v.-asn't Packey grown young again. Being finally convinced that it wasn't Packey, Ike took charge of the lad and at once engaged Packey to help him in rounding Murphy into thape. Between the two they have helped to get the lad a good start in the pugilistic game and expect to have a champion inside of another year. Murphy has and uses the same tactics that McFarland employed so advantageously in his long and successful career. His fast left with which he employs his right punch and uppercut are exactly the same blows that McFarland used. Fndcr Cover. Bernstein has been keeping Teddy under cover till of late, but now expects to push him to the fore with such precision that he will soon have cleaned up everything in his weight and will be waiting for newcomers to bob up. After his bout nere. Bernstein may start on an eastern trip with him and it will be interesting to watch the results of his bouts with the lads in that iectin of the country-
