 NEW YORK, April 13-At last the baseball season is open. The six games played by the professional clubs were attended by 3S, 46s people, an average of 6,441. This shows how popular the sport Is and how profitable it is to the managers when it is properly conducted. It shows that, notwithstanding the black eyes given the game by the Brotherhood in 1890, and the Association last year, the people will support the magnates. Therefore, it behooves the magnates to consult the best interests of the people. Give them ''good ball' and keep the game free from any suspicion of jockey ing, and all will go we'll
