Patc' Brewers and Senators May Prove Surprise In Association Race Timmo's Willingness 'to Spend Money May Make Milwaukee Contender for Pennant 0 olumbus Looks Strong at Start -Condition of Smith May Determine Miller Hopes BY FRED. R. COBURN aNDIANAPOLIS. April 26 Picking winners In the American association Is as difficult, or perhape a little more so, than before the season titartea.

Not one of the eight teams has been 'In action often enough to ustlfy making any sort of prognostication. Of course, It Is easy before the first gong rings to dope out the winners on paper form, but after the athletes really get Into action, no team does precisely what the dopesters picked it to do. Hence the pre-season dope may all be thrown Into the aste basket. Milwaukee was planted around the bottom of the ladder by almost "very prophet, yet Owner Timme's willingness to purchase the best ball rlayers obtainable, Indicates that he does not Intend to finish In the rear, money will make his club a winner. During the week he grabbed Josh iJevoro from the Phillies and now has a formidable outfield in Devoro, Throve and Jay KIrke.

True, his club does not appear to possess the lecestary class In several othe'r positions, but If Tlmme can purchase a algh -class catcher, one more inflelder and about two pitchers, the Brewers lust bo considered. Columbus Looms Up olumbus was another to occupy rear stand In the minds of the and while the Senators have done nothing startling to date, yet they have proved that they will make li hard for the tains, which ueek to force them Into the cellar. First Baseman llradley looks like a find, and the Columbus in and outfields are doing some sensational lulu.ng. -Whether or not the Senators can maintain good hitting average with their present team remain to be seen. Indianapolis, picked as one of the best teams, may suffer considerably, the pitching staff is not improved.

Joe Wlllla, Carter, Fnlkenberg. Itogge, Aldrldge and Dawson form It. When It Is remembered that Durk, Tipple, Schardt and Conzel-man were with the Indians last year and they could finish no better than third, It Is hard to see how they cx-lect to beat that notch this season with the present hurlers. They have two of the best backstops in the league, only a fair Infield, but a orklnfe outfield; and the team possesses plenty cf speed. Colonels Hard Hitters Louisville has a hard hitting aggregation, which loves speed, but 'an do little with a smart curve ball pitcher.

Their pitching staff is also In doubt, but the Colonels will prove one of the best batting clubs the circuit. Louisville fans and writers insisted when the Millers were there that the best two teams In the association were doing battle, but that also remains to bo worked out in the hot weather to come. Toledo, as predicted, looks strong, although Bresnahan Is still casting about for more material. However. Xtajah, with three sterling hurlers and some good clouters will afford trouble for climbing aspirants.

Kansas City. Judging solely from uox scores, hasn't an impressive team. Their hitting strength hasn't een coming to the front and their pitching department looks none too sturdy. Saints Get Away Good St. Paul was away to a good Btart in the first two games of the season, but even so, local scribes fall to see the Saints as a pennant contender, although admitting their speedy attack and good defence.

As for the Millers, well, why try to say anything about the except that they lye universally conceded a position in the first division and generally favored to repeat for the pennant. Confidentially we think the Millers' chances depend considerably upon the health of Wallie Smith. If the league's best third Backer is able to get back his normal strength and confidence, the Millers and we say It unteservedly have the best team In the league as It stands at present. If Smith can not play regularly the team will be weakened, Just how much no man can tell, but It will be considerable. Jennings is a capable ball player but although earnest and hard working and possessed of great mechanical ability he can not hope to fill Smith's shoes If tho hot corner wonder Is compelled by Illness to be out of the game much of the time.

Acosta Pleasant Surprise Acosta has been a pleasant surprise, and home fans will rave over this little fellow once he gets a good start at Nicollet. He hits better than anybody thought for, and Is a regular curly wolf in the outfield. Owens has lived up to everything said for him before the season, and players are doing their part. The pitching staff still looks like the best In the league. Cut the Millers will be on the Job at Nicollet lot May 4 opposed to Louisville and home fans will have a chance then to size up the strength of two formidable candidates for the pennant Furthermore, the other six teams will be much better graded then, and surely by the time the Millers finish their first home stand against the eastern clubs It will be possible to obtain a fairly accurate line upon the calibre of the eight scrlmmagers for the Anv-crlcan Association bunting.

Kahanamoku, the Hawaiian swim- mlng marvel, to be champion of water sports, Duke will make his' first appearance in Minneapolis when! h- competes with members of the Minneapolis Athletic club at the club I next Thursday night and It will wind up a tour he has been making of all the principal cities of the country in which he has defended his records and sought to establish new ones. In all the world today there Is 'not a man who can boast of the short, dlstanco swimming records credited the bronrcd islander. In Water Since Boyhood Of course a native Hawaiian, with a natural inclination toward thp wa ter and a boyhood passed largely In that element, has a marked advantage.

Yet Duke (this Is a given name not a title) was only a crude, green swimming phenomenon when he first attained prominence five years ngo by equalling the then existing world's record for 100 yards o' 65 2-5 seconds, made by the champion of the last, Charles M. Daniels, of New York. Kahanamoku, according to some experts, Is today the most perfect performer in stylo In any branch of athletics, whether It be rowing, running, tennis, golf or any other branch. His form appears flawless. His mode of progression In the ater has brought him the appellation of "the human Water for him has slight resisting force.

The Hawaiian, with the ability to swim, possesses also a splendid physique, and tho 6 feet Im'h of litheness which he possfssfs Is no small aid to him in his chosen sport. As a matter of fact, it led definitely to his being crowned world's rhnm-plon at 100 meters In the Olympic gnmes at Stockholm In 1912. Has Power, But No Form Four years ago Kahanamoku came to this country devoid of knowledge of even the ri dlmentary prlnclplrs of speed swimming. He had ability In the rough, every observer was comrelled to admit after seeing him compete, but he was totally in the dark when It came to tho finer points of aquatics. Credits "Kahanamoku Kick" There aro certain features of Ka-hanamoku's method of propelling himself through the water that are possessed by no other natator in the world.

An Australian expert who saw the Hawaiian win the 100-yard championship of New South Wales last year In the world's record time of 54 3-5 seconds, attributed his success to the "Kahanamoku kick," a term which originated In Australia. This expert predicted that In tlvie Kahanamoku's style would make obsolete the Australian crnwl. for it Induced faster swimming, was Joss trying on the physique and when perfected was an apparently flawless mode of aquatic locomotion. Keeps Head Above Water Duke Is the only one of the great snrlnt swimmers who keeps his head out of tho water while in action. He does not plow through the pool or In open water with his head burled deeply and wholly oblivious to what Is going on around him.

Instead he holds the head erect and thereby gains a distinct advantage over his rivals by being able to follow their progress and gauge his own pace thereby. The Duke's stroke is so slow that the Australians believed he was "stalling" and not trying when he ere ted a world's record In the 100-yard championship of New South Wales. They were asounded when they learned that the Hawaiian had established new record, for they had been fooled by the easy precision of his form, whb'h was mttfh I'leaner than that of even their st.ir performers, Six Kicks to Eaeh Arm Stroke In Australia Puke's perf rn mv-were carefully disserted by numnr ous experts, who had nothing but praise for-4ils six-beat, plain crawl. They saw him make six narrow scissors kicks, about ten Inches wide I and of even scope, to every full stroke of the two arms. They saw, too, that this form gave him a continuous thrash and that his arms never attained full reach above the water.

They dipped from raised-elbow position and extended under water, so that the hand was several Inches below the surface before pow-I er was applied and the drive start ed. I Kahanamoku Is a slow starter. It is, perhays, his only fault. Once he gets under way, however, there Is no heading him. Kahanamoku was born In Honolu- i lu about 25 years ago, and his lulla-1 by was the crooning of the waters In the open harbor of Honolulu, where years after he was to feature I in several of the most sensational I swimming performances ever re-j corded, GOTCH TO PAY $1,500 TO SEE WRESTLING GO BALTIMORE, April 26 Frank Gotch probably will give up more than to witness the Americus-Joe Stechcr bout to be held In this city Friday evening, April 28.

Gotch has signed a contract to appear with the same circus which is starring Jess Wlllard, the heavyweight boxing champion, and Is to receive 31,500 a week. When he learned that the Baltimore challenger, Amerlcus, and Joe Steelier, the Nebraskan, who already has claimed the heavyweight title, were to clash In Baltimore, Gotch immediately asked permission to lay off from his circus duties long enough to attend this contest. He was told that It would cost a week's wages, even though It took him away from the circus only a day or two. He has written for a seat, and therefore It Is taken for granted he will be at the ringside next Friday evening. The championship bout will be staged In tho Fifth Regiment armory In Baltimore, and there will be seats for 12,000 spectators.

Both Amerlcus and Stecher have established training quarters In this city, and the old town Is talking little else except wrestling Just now. IU CHOSEN HEW PHESIHEMT Prospects of Senior Amateur Ball for Coming Season Aro Bright New Teams Enter Five clubs were represented at the annual senior division general gathering of the Winnipeg Amateur Base-bail association, held at the Y.M.C.A. last evening James Morkin was elected president. The prospects for a successful season are exceedingly bright, considering the fact that some of the teams have been very badly crippled through the enlistment of their piayers for active service. The Catholic club and the Knights of Pythias were the only two of last year's clubs represented, but It Is expected that the champion Arenas will be in the field again.

Other teams that want a place In the senior ranks are the Dominion the Ammunition Workers, of Trans-cona, and the Union Canadiennes, of St. Boniface. The affairs of the league will again be governed by James Morkin, of the Catholic club, a great booster for baseball and a splendid organizer. He was elected president to suceed M. O.
