PHILADELPHIA, April Is - The Ma
tional league baseball season opened to-
day under suspicious circumstances. The
weather was pleasant and 7,245 spectators
saw the local club win handily from New
York. The several new players on the
home club received an encouraging well
come and all played a brisk, snappy
game. The honors however, must be
awarded to Iberg and Doom, PhladeI-
phia new battery. Iberg was invinclble
striking out batsmen, and allowed only
five hits, scattered through at many in
nings. He was ably supported HUls-
Wits game at short being play worthy
of note. New York showed lack of team
work and frequently left the bases uu-
covered. Kennedy pitched well until the
seventh inning, when ne sent two men TO
base on balls and was hit safely four
times, which, with a muffed fly by Theil-
man, Melted the locals five runs. Score
