The regular team as It stands today is undoubtedly the greatest scoring machine ever put on any floor and a defense that Is un-equaled. The local five has outscored their opponents by a large margin.

This is Just as true of baseball as of any business or profession.

There are but few real experts. There is only one Hans Wagner, only one Christy Mathewson, only one Johnny Kltng-. only one Denton T. Young. But there is plenty of room for others of the same caliber.

The brilliancy of a baseball star is comparatively shortlived. One brief decade, and his luster has begun to fade. The past has its heroes, and every season adds to the number of "has-beens." There was never a greater opportunity for youner men making good In baseball than today. The coming season 'will find many new faces in the two major leagues, and yet It is a safe bet that most of the newcomers will have a hard time convincing the managers that they are any better than the old-timers they were secured to replace. Pittsburg will try out a young first baseman, and one or two young outfielders.

There will also be several pitching recruits on the team. They will have to stand or fall on their merits. If they show themselves capable and willing, they are sure to be retained, and In time they will replace the men who have for several seasons olace for the wii I pected that every player will do his games, and then in a blaze of glory the i level best to annex this contest.

C. and D. A. C. will be almost as important, as a defeat for the "Prodigals" will put them out of the running.

Every game, in fact, will have an important bearing on the championship and the contests this week should be the most thrilling of the entire season. As predicted all along, the jumping of the players from the different teams has made the race more problematical than it otherwise would have been. As it now stands Bankers are only leading D. A. C.

When the Greater Pittsburg League opened its season it looked as if the race would be a one-sided affair, and the team unanimously chosen to carry off tie championship was the Auditoriums, as it appeared that no other team would be able to cope with this fast aggregation of clever skaters.

It is worthy of note that nearly all the 1 men who starred during the war between the National and American Leagues, and who jumped their contracts with the parent organization to play with Ban Johnson's invaders, have passed the zenith of their careers. Few of them are still in fast company.

Scarcely one remains with the American League club to which he originally jumped. An eastern writer some time ago pointed out that that war was really the salvation of the National League, inasmuch as the inroads made upon its talent by the American League compelled the clubowners to go out and dig for new i material The result was that while the American League clubs were filled and his Cniontown five being their opponents. On Thursday night the scene will shift to the Tube City, where one of the greatest crowds on record will no doubt see Hough's stalwarts engage with the McKeesport five.

C. can win on Tuesday they will then be only half a game behind Bankers, and if the Prodigals can take over Six-smith's men in the final encounter they will go into first place and land the pennant by half a game.

Whether or not it would be bettering his condition to leave this business in charge of another and take a job at $75 a week for a brief season remains for the popular ball player to work out himself.

Notwithstanding the fact that last year the local club was cm) of the few within the salary limit, it could not be made too low this vear and be consistent with god baseball to suit the desire of the local officials.

Tiie stories sometimes make the fans foar for the strength of their favorite during the championship campaign, but it is a fact that few of the players who threaten to quit make good their ante-season talk. Along tl.is line the following from the pen of Horace Fogel, the veteran Quaker City scribe, is interesting: "This is 'he time of the year when baseball managers have their most vexatious troubles These managerial tribulations are caused each season at contract renewal time bv the attempts of many players to hold up their clubs for increases in salaries increases that in a majority of cases are not only fabulous, but iiure bluff and bluster.

It is very safe to presume that almost an entire new quartet of officials will be named. Some of those who were in the service of the leaguo last season have taken positions in other leagties, and others will not be in the game this season.

Washington has two speedy catchers In Street and Biakenship. Neither man will need a substitute to run for him at a critical juncture of a game. Admiral Schlei will be a much improved catcher with New York, although his work for Cincinnati left little to be desired. Schlei is fast afoot and can sting the leather. whip hand in the race.

It is possible for them to make or unmake a champion. If they defeat D. A. C. on Tuesday it means a clear lead for the Money Men while if they fall before the Prodigals then this youthful bunch has a chance to finish In front.

The race is as cioe as the one last year, when Bankers tied up with Lyceum in the final scheduled fame and then beat them in the play-off. But Bankers had Harry Smith then and they are without the services of this sterling athlete now. The question is can thev repeat without him?

In the heat of the conflict for city honors, athletes not yet in the pink of condition are apt to go at too fast a pace and suffer a setback in their training, from which they may not recover for several weeks, causing them to make a poor showing in the early combats of the championship season. Bresnahan knows very well that beating the Browns will do him and his team little good if the effects of the struggle arc so severe that they lost a large majority of their early championship games.

Bresnahan wants to place the Cardinals higher in the National League race than they have been able to land'for several seasons, and he is bending all his energies to that purpose. He has a comparatively green team, which needs all Uie coaching and instructions it can get before the real hostilities begin. It will be a much greater and more, ornamental feather In Roger's cap to be able to have his team in the first division of the National League on May 15 than it would be to beat the Browns in a spring series. Undoubtedly that is what he is aiming at. His refusal to play the Browns this spring is not based on fear of getting beaten, but on the desire to start the real hostilities with his players in the best possible condition.

A spring series amounts to very little as a test of the caliber of the two teams and it is apt to prove harmful to some of the most valuable players Its onlv excuse is the desire to get a slice of the public's coin as early as possible, and that does not appeal to a manager who is engaged in looking toward the future.

Moriarity is sure to add strength to the Tigers. He is Coughlin's superior, and will play an important position. Summers and Willetts are also expected to show improved form, and the effect of this is not hard to see. The acquisition of Criger will help the Browns, and the Naps will be a strong aggregation.

Ed Grillo. the Washington critic, does not think that the Chicago Whitepox have been improved much. He says: "Just at present that sterling aggregation, the Whitesox, does not give much promise. Even though Jones should again manage the team, and the difference existing between Walsh and the club should be smoothed over, Comiskey does not seem to have made any advantageous changes on his team. George Iavis cannot go on playing forever.

Parent was handicapped last season with a bad wrist, but even should this be well tt is not likely that he is the ball player he was a few years ago. Walsh and White carried the team through last season, and they will have to do it again, but the strain on two men. when they have to keep a team in the race, is verv great, and one or the other is apt to give way under it." Grillo thinks that of the second division teams, Boston looks best, but thinks that Washington will prove almost as strong. He thinks the Nationals will beat out Philadelphia and New York, for he sees greater strength for the team through the return of Blankenship. and the acquisition of Gray and Groom, not to speak of the improvement that is looked for from Freeman and McBride.
