Tomorrow the eight most evenly matched teams in modern International ague history will start off on a 168 game baseball race that should break all records for attendance. Half a dozen managers honestly believe they have a chance at the pennant, which is most unusual in this or any other league.

No one of the eight clubs is so weak that it does not entertain hope of getting up around the top. On the eve of the opening several of the clubs are still trying to obtain players. Jersey City needed a shortstop and has signed Johnny Mitchell, a fast man, brilliant fielder but light sticker. The neighboring Newark Club Is after a catcher and a trade is pending now in which Newark will part with one of its good outfielders for a capable backstop. The Buffalo Bisons, champions of 1927, open at Baltimore.

Jack Dunn will send his great right bander, George Earnshow, to the mound to stop the champions in the first game. Dunn has good pitching but so has Buffalo. Bill Clymer will use either Curly Ogden or Eurie Proffitt. The latter is a southpaw. Buffalo looks strong and the Orioles are stronger than a year ago.

The much heralded Newark club will start with Toronto as Its guest. The Leafs have wonderful pitching this year, as good as any in the league. Jesse Doyle is Manaerer O'Hara's choice to pitch for the Leafs against Al Mamaux of the Bears. It is expected all attendance records will be broken for opening games at Newark tomorrow. Walter Johnson Is not yet able to be about and George McBride will handle the Bears.

Fans of the circuit and many experts have made the Bears the favorites to win this year, but rival managers are conceding rothing. They're out to whip the Bears. Over in Jersey City the Skeeter fans will look upon the strongest entry they have had in years under the management of Frank Gilhooley. He will send either Thormahlen, a southpaw, or Home, to the mound against Rochester, another recognized contender. Billy Southworth, another new manager, has not let it be known who will pitch.

Ho has very good pitching this year. Both Southworth and Gilhooley are playing managers and both will be in tomorrow's game. Reading entertains the Montreal club, a new entry in the John Conway Toole circuit. Harry Hinchman says his Reading club is a hunlded per cent, stronger than last year's aggrga tion which finished a bad last. George Stallings bought the Jersey City club of last year and moved it to Montreal.

But he has added much to it and now has a formidable lineup. Just the other day he secured Walter Beall from the Yankees. Shaw key is in shape and should be a winner. President Toole will be present at the Newark openor which promises to outdraw all other games for the day. Old Ironsides, at the Manhattan, Monday.
