Show ROUGH ROAD IS BEFORE RED SOX Boston March 3 -Here in the Hub they are saying that the Red Sox will have hard work to repeat this coming season This opinion is noi equivalent, equiva-lent, however, to a confession of weak ness, because it Is conceded thai as a i ball club this one should be better I than It was last year. But It is also figured that the character of the opposition op-position will be considerably stiff', r .ban it was in 112 In order to win another shot at a world's series gold and glory. McA'ecr's men will have to distance better ball clubs than they ou stripped last year They will have the prestige of champions, ihe confidence which springs from achievement real and solid, the benefit of thut experience and seasoning which led up to Mer-1 Mer-1 le's mlscue and Snodgras' muff. B.it they will also be marked men from the drop of the hat They are the champions, but they will be required to prove it very day. And some greatly improved hall teams will go after them So that possible failure to win tho flag in tbe coming pennant chase may be entirely consistent with genuine improvement on tbe part of the local idols. |
