(By H. C. Hamilton, United Press
Staff Correspondent)
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—With young
Chuck Ward at second base, the Dodg
ers will enter the 1918 season with
just that much of a jump on their
prospects at the beginning of the 1917
pennant campaign.
Champions when the last season
opened, the Dodgers, nevertheless, did
I not look like pennant winners. For
. one thing, the Giants had been
I strengthened to such an extent that
fhey were practically certain winners.
I Again, there was no color in the Brook
lyn club’s make-up.
i There is no color now to the Dodg
ers. They form just a good baseball
t machine, a first division team this
year, the chances are, hut not pennant
possibilities in any sense of the phrase.
In A1 Mamaux the Dodgers have
I acquired one of the acknowledged
young stars of the game, hut who is
there who can say that Mamaux really
laying off last year because he wanted
to, and not because his arm Had lost
its cunning? Further, in the loss of
Cadore, Sherrod Smith and Edward
Pfeffer to the army, the pitching staff
has been hit so hard as to make
Mamaux’s acquisition practically neg
ligible. It will fall upon Mamaux,
Rube Marquard and Clarence Mitchell
to carry the brunt of the season’s work
among the pitchers. They are capa
ble, but not fit for the duty of pitching
a club to a pennant.
Jake Daubert is a weak point in the
Dodger infield. Daubert has been cred
ited with being a star for so long that
4t is a generally accepted fact that
he is just that. He is nothing of the
port now. lie's just a fair ball player
and a little overrated at that. In the
deal which brought Ward to the Dodg
j ers and sent Cutshaw to Pittsburgh
the Dodgers profited, for they obtained
a fine young player in exchange for a
veteran whose usefulness was becom
ing practically nil. The infield, then,
probably will be made up as it was
last year, with Olson at shortstop and
O’Rourke at third base.
The Dodger outfield was weakened
some by the loss of Casey Stengel, but
the Dodgers still have in Hickman,
Myers and Wheat one of the ffrg out
fields of baseball. Jimmy Johnson also
is present for substitute duty.
Chances of the Tigers
There will be no weakening of the
Tigers next season if Ty Cobb returns
to the team instead of taking part in
the war on Germany.
Some departures appear to have
struck the club in the midriff, but as
a matter of fact the Tigers actually
will be stronger in some parts than
when they gave up the battle for a
pennant last fall. For instance, the
infield will have some added strength
in the person of Leo Dressen, a first
class first baseman, and in the hurling
corps Hughie Jennings really should
get some American league material out
of his youngsters.
Ray Kallio is the most promtsing of
the youths who will wear the Tiger
spangles next season. He comes from
the Pacific Coast league with a long
record of effectiveness. His acquisi
tion is fully expected to offset the loss
in the enlistment of Howard Ehmke,
another coast graduate who had
proved a real find.
The heavy Detroit attack will re
main. Ty Cobb, Bob Veach and Harry
Heilman, as doughty a trio of sluggers
as baseball can b^ast. will be back—•
provided, of course, the army or navy
doesn’t appeal too strongly to them.
The infield will be intact, with the
probable exception of George Burns,
and if Dressen is capable of putting
the defense of first base himself the
the skids under Burns and taking over
Tigers are certain to be stronger in
| the inner works.
The Tiger infield never has been as
heavy a gang of artillery as could be
desired. Fielding has been a heavy
point with the club, however, and a
little punch shot in there will work
wonders. In Vltt the Tigers have a
third baseman who is generally rated
on a par with Butch Weaver. Donie
Bush is one of the very best shortstops
in the big leagues. Pep Young is a
passing fair second baseman. If Burns
can keep in health and play regular
baseball, or if Dressen proves up tc
advance notices, the Tigers will bs
well set.
Pitchers always have been a sofl
spot in Detroit since the days of Wild
Bill Donovan. Hints that Bill mighl
attach himself to the Tigers for coach
ing purposes, therefore, sounds might}
fine in the Michigan metropolis. Bil
might be able to put something in that
pitching staff. With a fine crop o
youngsters to work on, it may be tha
the Tiger machine yet will get startet
j toward the point it has hoped for s<
long. The punch is certainly there.!
Whenever the Tigers get to cutting
down the opposition to slightly fewer
runs the American league is going to
recognize an upstart.
Outlook for California Sports
(Ry Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb 15.—Specu
lation continues to be the principal
activity among followers of all lines
of sports as to what will be the out
come during the coming year. 'Al
leges, schools and clubs of the West
are practically agreed that all
branches of sport should he continued
on as broad a scale as possible during
the progress of the war.
At the moment it w'ould appear that
so far as intercollegiate rowing Is con-(
cerned on the Pacific coast it will he,
considered as a dead letter. With thej
determination of the University of
California and Stanford university not
to put crews on the water this spring,
varsity competition will be robbed of
much interest. On the other hand,
rowing clubs doubtless will continue
to hold their various regattas.
Baseball will be continued as nearly
as possible along pre-war lines, al
though it is believed by many thatj
the quality of games offered may suf
fer because of the absence of many;
stars through volunteering and the[
draft. Officials both of the Pacific
Coast league and the newly-named Pa
cific Coast International league, for
merly the Northwestern league, appear
optimistic in this respect, how'ever.
Practically ali of the California ten
nis stars who are nationally known
already are enrolled in the service of
the country. This, it is contended, will
afford an unusual opportunity for the
youngsters to forge into the limelight
and become known.
Golf, with its larger proportion of
men above draft age, seems to be less
affected by the war than most of the
other branches of sport.
That yachting will continue to hold
the interest of its devotees is best
attested by the fact that repors from
various parts of the country indicate
that many new craft, both sail and
motor, are being built, or will be built
for the coming season. This notwith
standing the fact that many of the
younger amateur stars are working
with the various mosquito and reservej
Jleets of the United States.
There appears to he no question as
to the future of trap-shooting. With
the encouragement of shooting begot
ten by the war, this sport enjoyed an.
excellent year during 1917, and the
concensus of opinion appears to he
that this condition of affairs will be
repeated during 1918.
Track and field teamR, like last sea
son's football teams, will be among
the heaviest sufferers as far as candi
dates are concerned, and while compe
tition is expected to be keen, a repe
tition of last year is looked for in the
dearth of notable performances in the
matter of record breaking.
Basketball is enjoying a period of
great activity all over the country.
In this the teams and clubs of the
far West are participating. The fact
that this early season sport is pros
pering is taken as an augury that
there will be no decline along other
lines.
