SQUEEZE PLAY-A KU ball carrier is crashed to the ground during yesterday's football practice.
Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of articles about the come of the Major League baseball races.
By Gabby Wilson
The American League could easily develop into a much closer race than most people seem to think
Although not in disagreement with the majority in picking the New York Yankees to win it should be a four team battle.
THE CLEVELAND INDIANS, with newly acquired help from Johnny Antonelli and Willie Kirkland, should finish second. The Indians will have a better pitching staff than the Yanks, but a weaker infield and outfield.
Third place should go to the Baltimore Orioles. The Birds had a fine season last year in finishing second, but they played over their heads. The young pitchers won't show up as good again and there is still a lack of power.
THE CHICAGO WHITE. SOX probably have the greatest potential to overtake the Yanks, but they look like fourth placeers at present.
If Herb Score can find himself and if Billy Pierce, Gerry Staley, Early Wynn, Sherm Lollar, Roy Sievers, Minnie Minoso and Al Smith can hold up under the strain of the season and the years the Sox could win.
Of course Cleveland or Baltimore could win but to do so they would have to have help from the Yanks. The kind of help would have to be in the form of a long losing streak or key player injuries.
THE NEW MINNESOTA Twins and the Detroit Tigers will fight it out for the last spot in the first division. The Twins have better pitching, better catching and better power. Defensively the Tigers are the better of the two. However, the Twins' power should carry them into the first division.

Kansas City Athletics. Actually with some luck the A's could move past the Twins and the Tigers. The A's are probably the most improved ball club in the American League.
Almost every other forecaster has automatically placed the two new clubs at the bottom of the standings. In every case the order has been Los Angeles Angels, ninth, Washington Senators, tenth.
Open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
THE ANGELS SHOULD finish eighth ahead of the Boston Red Sox. The Sox pitching staff is just about as bad as the Angels'. Both teams are shoddy defensively. But the Angels have more power and probably better consistency.
The Sox hopes lie in the comeback of Jackie Jensen.
Opening Spring Grid Practice Features Contact
THANKS TO THE new Washington Senators an old phrase will again be used to describe Washington: "First in war, first in peace, and last in the American League."
The only definite thing that can be said about the Senators is that they will be the first team in the history of the major leagues to finish in tenth place.
The Kansas Jayhawkers finally opened spring football practice yesterday afternoon, after waiting one week for good weather.
Authoritative commands were shouted by Head Coach Jack Mitchell and his hard working staff as they directed the 75 man squad through nearly three hours of contact work.
The practice was highlighted by the usual first day happenings: frequent fumbles, various minor injuries, flattening of the tackling dummies with spirited, rib-rocking blocks, disgruntled coaches, small groups of out of shape spectators scattering when a runner broke loose around end, a roving professional scout and the final wind sprint.
The Styron twins, Don and Dave will compete in the 36th Annual Kansas Relays here next weekend

Styron Twins In KU Relays
Rugged contact was the keynote of the initial drill. After considerable individual and small group work featuring hard-hitting blocks and tackles there was a concluding scremimage of about 30 minutes duration.
They were among a 19-man squad entered by Southern Illinois University yesterday. But the twins will be unable to compete in anything but the AAU events at the Kansas Relays, because they are transfers from Northeast Louisiana State.
MANHUNT of the CENTURY!
Don has entered the 400-meter hurdles, and Dave in the 100-meter dash. Don set a world record in the 220-low hurdles last year with a time of 21.9 seconds.
