READY TOPLAY BALL
The American Association Will
Begin the Fight To-Day.
LEAGUE GAMES ON SATURDAY.
All the Clubs Well Equipped and Local
Rivalry Very Bitter.

"A triangular Fight in Philadelphia and
Brooklyn-StrenHth of the Clubs Who
Play To-Day-H.x the Association
Well-Kuown Players.
New YORK, April 1.-THE baseball
season is here at last. The American
Association will begin the fight for pen
nant honors this afternoon and on Sun
day the clubs of the National and
Players League will begin their sched-
ule contests. Then will follow a great
struggle for supremacy.
In Philadelphia and Brooklyn it will
be triangular fight in which the three
major organizations will have clubs en-
gagged and in six other cities there are
two clubs each represented in the
National and Players leagues. All are
we'll equipped, the local rivalry is most
bitter everywhere, and within ten days
the public excitement promises to be at
white heat. The Players League clubs
they expect, and there is hardly a
doubt but that they will draw we'll. It
will be novelty to the public to watch
the actions of players who are to be
controlled by other players.
With the American Association teams
changed as they are the championship
race of this organization gives promise
of being very interesting one. Taking
the chances of the probable pennant
winners into consideration, there are
any number of people who pin their
faith on the St. Louis Club, and they
do this, too, in spite of the fact that
Won der Abe has lost the services of the
great Comiskey, Robinson, Latham,
O'Neil, Milligan, Boyle and King.
No club will have so-called ''easy
thing" with the Brooklyn Club, and it
will need watching.
The Athletic Club enters the race
weakened by the loss of Stovey, Bauer
and Larkin. O'Brien is a good substi-
tute for Larkin as a fielder. but the
former cannot be compared with Lark in
as a batsman, although he will do ok
cellent work with the stick. Fitzgera Id
is very promising second baseman.
Columbus is very we'll thought of by
people who are good judges. The only
strong man lost by the club is Baldwin
lie had no superior as a pitcher in the
Association last season.
The Louisville Club has an able man a
ger, something it has not had since the
days when Hart was in command, and
1t is replete with fine fielders and first
class batteries. The club is stronger
than it has been for three years past.
The critics seem to think that the
Rochester Club is being placed too low
In the race. The club will open the
season stronger in batteries than half
of it's competitors, and with an in and
out-feld second to none in the Associa-
ton. 1t has host of first-class base
runners, and as a hitting team will
| stand up among the leaders.
Of the Syracuse and Toledo clubs lit
tie can be said, and the players of these
two teams will be anxiously watched
Tor the next few days.

STRIKING CARPENTERS.
Building Operations in Chicago Are No
Completely Blocked.

Operations CnlCASO Arc NOW
Completely Blocked.
CHICAGO, April 1.-THE embargo
placed by striking carpenters on build
ing operations in this city continues eff
fective. Bricklayers have gone as far
as they could until the carpenters did
more work, and as there were none to
do it the bricklayers had to stop. This
threw the hod carriers and laborers out
of employment for the time being, SO
that the number of idle men in the city
to-day is very large. It will steadily
increase for the next week after which
no building operations can be contin-
ued until the strike is brought to an
end, or the builders are able to get oar
penters to go to work.
There are some signs of disturbances
and the strikers claim that the contract
ors are the real instigators of the
troubles that arise. They go about
armed and threatening to shoot any
body that comes to talk to the men they
haveat work and seem, the strikers allege,
anxious to provoke a quarrel in order
that the odium of it may be thrown on
them.
President OConnell was busy this
morning making preparations for a
monster parade this afternoon.
