BY HENRY L. FARRELL
(l ullcil 1'iess t orrespomlent)
NEW YORK. March 18.—In
tills open season for picking pen-
nant winners, nearly every team
In the major leagues Is being by the Giants to the Reds, fig-
given some kind of chance.
Opinion, expert and otherwise.
Is divided ou all clubs except
the Philadelphia Phillies and the
Boston Red Sox . They are unan-
imous choices for last place.
Picking pennant wisners when
the training season is Just half
finished Is a hazard for reputa-
tions and pocketbooks.
All Wrong Jn '»».
With few exceptions, the pre-
dictions of the experts were
miles off the target In 1926,
when the New York Giants were
a majority choice In the National
League and those who didn't cast
a vote for McGraw's club strung
I along with Pittsburgh. The
Giants slumped into the second
division and the Pirates couldn't
keep up with the St. Louis Car-
dinals or the Cincinnati Reds.
The most terrific strain on ex-
| pert opinion exploded in the
American League when the New
York Yankees dashed away In
the first week of the race and
I pulled across the final line bad-
ly winded, but ahead.
Miller Huggins, manager of
the Yankees, who never has been
; famed as an orator or a disciple
of optimism. Isn't claiming an-
other pennant.
"The Athletics and the Sena-
tors are very good ball clubs
and I don’t know what my club
* will do this year," he said.
There are others, however,
picking the pennant for Huggins,
best known of whom are Babe
Ruth and Jack Kendricks, man-
ager of the Cincinnati Reds, who
In the same voice puts in a
1 boost for himself.
Rogers Hornsby, who managed
the Cards Into a world's cham-
shlp last year and who Is i „ T. , air
playing eecond base for the 1 exaS U. Coach Mattel
now
Giants, picks his new club as a
cinch.
George Kelly, who was traded
Not Yet Settled
ures the Cincinnati club is a sure
thing and quoted the opinion of
Helnle Groh to the same effect.
Walter Johnson, veteran Wash-
ington pitcher, thinks the Sena-
tors will beat out the Athletics
for the pennant and that Detroit
will finish ahead of the Yankees.
Ty Cobb said when he signed
with Connie Mack that he did so
because he wanted to Join a club
that warn going to be In the
world's series.
Altogether, the million or so
experts can write their own
tickets.
BIG BILL SHOWS
GOOD FORM
By United PreR».
ORTEGA, Fla., March J 6.—
William T. Tllden, America's rank-
ing tennis player, showed a return
to form In the southeastern ten-
nis championship when he swept
thru ths quarter-final rounds In
love sets,
Tllden defeated James M. Lew-
in of Kansas City and William
Barrett of Shreveport.
George M. Lott, Chicago, for-
mer national Junior champion,

HADDOCK TO RUN

BERKELEY, Cal. — Charley
Paddock will represent the Los
Angeles Club In the sprints events
of the annual California and Los
Angeles Clubs track meet Satur-
day, It has been announced.
Rumors that a mall vote of re-
gents of University of Texas had
refused to accept the nomination
of Clyde Littlefield as head coach
of football next year is denied by
Dr. Splawn in an open statement.
When the athletic council nom-
inated Littlefield It was planned
to have a mall vote, but this plan
was nipped in the bud by the re-
gents themsvlves, who wrote in
and objected to such a vote. Sev-
eral Insisted the matter be held
up until the April meeting, when I
the question will be threshed out ;
orally. So no mall vote was held, i
according to Dr. Splawn.
Surface Indications are that |
friends of Dock Stewart are still
battling for him; that they Insist |
he wasn’t given full rein and j
therefore was handicapped to such
an extent he could not show his !
ability.
In fact, prominent alumni of
the university are pretty well di- |
vided on the matter and many of
them are expected to appear be-
fore the regents to argue the
point.
All In all, the April meeting has
possibilities In a pyrolechnlcal
way.

story begins with the geologists and sur-
veyors in the field and carries the industry
through to the gas stove in your house.
“Shooting,” closing in, connecting lines, con-
struction of compressing stations, laying of
pipe lines, etc. Tt is all there.

throughout the entertainment. Good music

production Friday night at 8 o’clock. Be

ning.
