IF ONE were to take all that has been said at full value, it would appear that there will be no second division outfits at all, WIUJEACE OF STAFF Orlando, March 29 On the theory that a pitcher who has en-Joyed extraordinary success one season seldom returns with an equaJly banner year the fUids are not counting on lauque, the Cuban, aa their ace this season. Naturally lauque is expected to be one of the pitching stars, but the feeling is that he will not lead the staff. This Is young Donohue's year, according to all Indications.

Don-ohue, who Is normally sparse as to frame, reported eight pounds heavier this spring and seems to have filled out (renerally. This add-j weight ought to help him In several respects. For one, thing. It will enable him to stand up better under a hard gruelling Cgbt. It will also give him a trifle more speed and power.

lauque won 'J7 parr.es and lost eight last year. Donohue won 15 and lost nine. results may be reversed when the final figurations are made In the fall. except perhaps the poor Phillies, who are so far out of the running that no one gives them consideration. LEAVING Art Fletcher out of it, therefore, most of the managers in "the National seem to think that they are piloting greatly-improved outfits, and that they are bound to finish higher than in 1923.

Toronto Amateur Boxing Team Loses To Local Fighters By Jim Jab. Greater boxers scored a neat triumph over Toronto amateurs In an inter-city tourney at A. A last nlirht. winning; 0 to .1. The locals started with a victory and were never headed.

Several of the settog were above the a-verage In the display of battling. Likely the best leather slammer of the victors lost his bout. This happened in the initial event William Davles, local midget mixer, had to (ro his best to trim Bellanirer Torontonian. Bellanger can sling a nice mitt. The closing- scrap of the night was a big funmaker.

Tom "Flrpo" Williams, a good natured but untutored sriant, lost his match to Rags Madera, home youth, who faced up as a southpaw. Rooters had a hilarious time cheering the whales Into action. Another battle out of the ordinary was In the 100-pound clajis. Frank Grayber car lied Steel City colors. Grayber ap peared to Incur the enmity of numer our onlookers by his vigorous rlnsj tactics.

This contingent rooted for Henninff. the Canadian, a fact that added to the din created by he combat. Several awards by the Judsres et al didn't please.

Concealing the weak spots on a club at long as possible Is part of the managerial game. THERE ARK pilots shrewd enough to work this concealment gag over a long period, and to do It so skilfully that even rival leaders and players are fooled. Of course, It Is a game at which the player is In the end found oat.

SOME OF the managers are merely talking to keep up their own cour- age. Reliable reports from some of the camps reveal that a large part of the rookies have failed to come "through as expected, and In more one Instance the lineup Is still more or less undecided, with weak spots openly apparent. jonx St eG RAWS OPINIONS. SOME NEW players will make their appearance on many of the teams, but there have been no wholesale alterations In any of the rosters. A few of the teams will bs weaker In some positions than they a year ago, and others will be 1 Stronger.

NEW YORK fans are still debating John McGraw's wisdom in getting rid cf Dave Bancroft and placing fall dependence In Travis Jackson tp All the shortstop berth. SID KEENEK, a veteran observer, watched the Giants In the south for several days, and then declared that be considered shortstop their weak- 'est spot, with Jackson not In Bancroft' class. OTHER GOOD judges have placed their O. K. on the newcomer, and predict that he will more than fill the bill.

However, short may not be the only weak spot in the New York 4 team, for Heine Oroh is limping, and there Is no telling whether he will 'be able to stand the gaff at third or sot. THE FACT that during the past week McGraw made an effort to se- cure Milton Stock seems to Indicate that the Giant leader la not sure of his third baseman. If John J. has "two infield weaknesses to cope with, be may not do so well. STILL, THE New Torker Insists on 'ranking his present aggregation above his 1IK3 outfit.

"I won in 182.1 with a joke pitching staff. I believe hi fieri Ditchers oftener than any other manager In the league," said 'be. "I will be better off there Ihli year, and I think In every way iiv team Is stronger than last year THIS IS just another way of saying that McGraw expects to capture his fourth straight pennant, and thus establish a new modern baseball record. Three pennants In a row are not unusual, but hurling the fourth barrier has proved the downfall of many a great aggregation much batter, In fact, than Jicunw bandies. IK THE Giants come through again, other clubs will probably conclude that it is practically useless to try to beat out New York.

On paper the lanta don't look any more like a championship team than do at least two other clubs In the league, but that Is not saying they will not triumph, I BUTCH TINKERING IN VAIN. THE NEW YORK Yankees may gain come through, and prove themselves to be the best club In tbe world. This Is not a fore-' gone conclusion, however. THE HT'GGINS crew may start off In a somewhat listless attitude. Some of the world's premiers didn't get the treatment at the hands of CoL Jacob Ruppert this winter that they expected.

Having ailed to get the sweets they deslded, it remains to be seen whether they will hustle aa they did for Huggins last year. EVEN THE Yanks, however, have their weak spots. It Is remarkable how much tinkering It takes at times to eradicate one defect In a baseball machine. CLUBS HAVE tried for years to add strength at one certain position, and some of them have never succeeded. Others have finally plunged one hole, only to discover Others.

LOCAL FANS remember well how long It was before a suitable first baaeman was unearthed, after Kitty Bransfield was reltrssed. and how many different men were tried before one was found who made pood. AND THEN at short the rtrates bad their troubles after Hans Wag- rr went on the shelf. Mar.y a club ers is what makes a manager's hair turn gray. Just consider the large number tried out every season, and the very small number retained.

Replacing a veteran wlio has stood the Rtraln for years (a a problem which baffles many a leader, despite the fact that he has expert scouts constantly scouring the bushes In search of acceptable talent. MAY RESULT IS NEW THE TROUBLE which a number of major league clubs have had this winter In signing ball rlayers for whom large sums were paid to minor league clubs mar eventually lead to the adoption of a rule fixing a Certain percentage of the purchase price to be handed to the player by the releasing club. PITTSBURGH had its troubles over Glenn Wright and Ray Kremer, New York had difficulty with Baldwin and others, the Yankees had a hard time getting two of their high-priced recruits Into the fold, Cincinnati had a similar experience with two of Its purchases, and Brooklyn has been having a hot time with Shortstop Jimmle Jones. THE YOUNGSTERS who have brought fancy sums feel that they are entitled to part of the velvet, and perhaps they are right Certainly it Is their prowess which Is being disposed of, and the big figures which capable youngsters bring these days are enough to make the principals feel thay are being slighted If they do not get part of the money. MOST DEALS are made without any guarantee of delivery on the part fthe releasing club, so that the purchaser is at the mercy of the player if he decides not to report.

DESPITE THE fact that baseball law is much clearer than it used to be, and more adequately protects both club and player, there are still some defects In It, and marv persons believe a weakness would be eliminated if a rule were adopted providing for the financial reward of all players who are purchased for considerable sums of money.
