GIANTS AND YANKS MAY AGAIN
REPEAT DURING COMING SEASON
By ROBERT F. KELLEY
With 1922 following 1921 into
the past as an all-New-York year as
far as baseball is concerned, the
feeling grows that the new year will
come mighty close to seeing the sum
sort of a thing gone through with
■when another fall romes around for
the playing of a World’s Series.
Certainly the Giants and Yankees
nre as well equipped to repeat in
this coming year as they were when
the spring of 1922 started them off
for the second consecutive pennants.
It is going to take a show of im
provement on the part of the other
clubs in the league to prevent New
York from having another private
series.
Of course, injected into every fore
cast of a baseball happening there
must be sonio mention of the unex
pected. The unexpected happens so
often in baseball as to almost deny
vvirt-^ce of anv such thing. But
rd success
possibility
possibility
int in the
the Giants
very clean
is i m pos
it tr ,r> - things, the
* a ng favorite
lor tne nonets :n e National
League and the Yanks a bit less of
a one in the American.
In the National League, it would
appear that the Giants were facing a
somewhat better prospect titan the
Yankees in the younger circuit for
two reasons. The Giants do not ap
pear to be faced with the strength
among the opposition that the Yan
kees have facing them, and the
Giants were further above the rest
of their league last season than the
Yanks wrere in the American. Add
to this the fact that the Giants are
apt to be strengthened by the ac
quisition of O’Connell and Bentley,
two of the greatest stars in the
minor league, and the Yankees are
apparently going to bo forced' to
content themselves with the material
at hand at the close of the last
season.
Giants had their greatest opposition
throughout from the Cardinals, Pi
rates, anil Cincinnati Reds. The Cubs
wero bothersome for a goodly part
of the way, tout the Giants always
held a firm upper hand over the Chi
cago team. The Giants, as it has
been said, promise to be stronger
in 1923, The Cardinals, on the
strength of Manager Hickey’s own
words, will not be contenders unless
they uncover more material, and
they have failed to date in this ef
fort. That leaves the Pirates and
Iteds of last season's teams, and to
these, to take the place of the Car
dinals. it is very probable that the
name of the Chicago outfit will b>
added. The Cubs were young last
season and apparently found them
selves. Under Killlfer again they arc
very apt to be dangerous. The Pi
rates are not. to date, Improved to
any visible extent. They ore only
a number of youngsters but no out.
standing stars. The Reds were late
in starting last season and may get
off to a good start this coming sea
son.
But the Giants had no difficulty
in defeating these outfits lest sea
son And the Giants, if those two
recruits come up to big league spec
ulations. will be a good deal
stornger.
The American League.
In the American League the Yank
are faced with two very strong op
ponents. The St. Louis Browns earns
tery close Indeed to taking the
American League pennant to t lie
M estern tip of the 'league last sea
son. and it would be the most diffi
cult task in the world to convince a
citizen of that city that the flag is
not going out there next season. Leo
Fohl bad a splendid team there,
and it he uncovers perhaps one more
dependable pitcher will come close
to making good the boat of his
leam’s followers. Also a deal of hit
chances rents or, fie ability dis
played by Shocker. The big*pitcher
was out with injuries for a while
last summer, and It cost his club a
good deal.
TJte Tigers are apt to be the most
interesting team in the league. Ty
Cobb, has added Kin Collins and U.iy
Francis, a good right-hander and a
good left-hauler, to his pitching
staff, and there was little the matter
with his leant last year outside of
the pitching box.
Connie Mack's Athletics may
cause some trouble, and certainly
the White Sox will not be pleasant
playmates for any one with pennant
aspirations. In tact, it is very prob
able that Kid Gleason has arranged
for part of the World's Series to be
pldyc:l in Chicago.

that it Is not a star at all. but a j
comet; something that periodically
appears and disappears, and they pro-1
diet that it will soon vanish again 1
Rut to ull. the Whitehorse Star is a

to a limited extent upon general top -
ics of the day.
“For a eonf dera-ble length of t:m
the office and plant of the White-’
horse Star has been owned by a
group of citizens. These citizen
realized the value of u newspaper In
the commit!: i\v and purchased tin- j
