By ToM coNooN-~~-TH~f~'-~-•s_H~ai~E It's spring, ana a young man's fancy turns, of course, to baseball. The air is once again filled with citruses and cactuses. O.A.S. relationships ease as the standouts from the South American leagues come north to Florida, and financial relationships ease as holdouts from the north come to any of several American fun places for the yearly ritual, spring train~ng. It is traditionally the first duty of this individual, upon spreading his typewriter keys to the sun, to predict the outcome of the pennant race. This is, of course, a mere formality, a gesture expec­ ted by his readers. So he gathers together his cohorts, they check with the local bookies, and all give roughly the same predictions, which tend to be rather redundant and dull. So it was with unspeakable pleasure that we received the prog­ nostications of Hugh Sonfirst, New Hampshire's most colorful sportswriter and sports editor of the Holdat Tiger. Hugh no longer follows the south, preferring his snug isolated little hamlet over the southern bullpens of iniquity. In fact, he no longer listens to the games, or reads the boxscores. But, since he once met Ty Cobb, he still gives his predictions, as he has done with characteristic Yankee ingenuity for the past 50 years. So, as a tribute to a grand old man, we are privileged to quote a few excerpts from Hugh's in depth article. First, the American League: St. Louis- -"1 look for the Browns to take it all this year. You can say all you want about the recent Chicago Cub infield, Tinker to Evers to Chance, but you can't beat Christman to Friend to Arft. Also, Sportsman's Park is in a nice neighborhood." Philadelphia- -"Connie Mack is not as young as he used to be. Anyone who would trade Nelson Potter to the Browns has got to be on the brink of senility. Without Potter on the mound, the $100,000 infield won't be 'worth a Continental.' " New York- -"Ruth may have built the house but the other teams are going to break the windows. He and Gehrig are both gone and the dynasty is over. The Bronx Bombers, it is suspected, signed the Kellogg Pact. They may, however, get some help from that Italian kid." Boston- -"Teddy Williams is too skinny to ever make it through a big league season." And the National League: New York- -'.'John McGraw's Giants will again sweep the senior circuit if he can keep Jim Thorpe off the firewater. And, Christy Mathewson is still the best hurler in either league. If they can teach Fred Merkle how to catch, they've got a winner." Boston- -"The Braves will be strong again this year. Wally Berger is the best player in baseball and Boston is a great two team town." Brooklyn- -"These Bums couldn't win a pennant in a Coney Action at Tuesday's Bengal Bouts.
