Clocker thought a minute. "You know," he said, "I missed spring training, but then you can't go by the Grapefruit League standings, anyhow." We showed him the National League standings and he gave a grunt of satisfaction. "That's just about the way I would have figured it," he mused. "Milwaukee will win the whole thing, but not without a fight from Cincinnati, Brooklyn, and St. Louis, who will finish in that order.
