If the White Sox could have the Red Sox pitehing staff, or part of it, there wou!d be nothing to the Ain- erican Leagué race but Chicago. Hughié Jennings, the Detroit léad- er is of the opinion that eighteen men are enough for any well regulat- ed' ball club. At that Hughey would give all the surplus material he bas for one more 'good pitcher. Baseball, the safety valve for pent- up enthusiasm' and tense nerves, has taken the field for 1917. The, ap- proval of the military authorities is evidenced by the fact that Major- General Leonard Wood opened the American' League season at New York by tossing out the first ball at the Polo Grounds. Swede Risberg is the big find of the season for Chicago White Sox. They say he is a light hitter, but if he can continue to. play sensationally at shortstop, fitting nicely in combina- tion with Eddie Collins, and releas- ing Buck Weaver for regular duty of third dase, the White Sox will rapidly beconre betting favorites to take a big championship west for the first time in several seasons. Club owners expect a fairly pro- sperous season, but admit. that re- ceipts and attendance probably will be cut by the war. They ate en- couraged ghowever, by the fact that the game flourished during the Spanish-American war, and that the International League games in Can- ada last summer were well attended. Friends of the game declare: that basel-all this year will perform a na tional service by affording a distrac- tion from the grim tension of war. Mathewson is the latest manager to, come out with the statement that © is going Lo put some '"'color" into the Reds. When a quiet-mannsred man of the Mathéwson type makes such a promise we chuckle' with glee wien we. contemplate what fighters like McGraw, Hughie Jennings, Stallings and his lieutenant, Evers, will do! The day of the pacifist is past, on the ball field as well as in gyely nook and corner of this broad land. - Henceforth the fans are go- ing to get their money's worth.
