GIANTS To OPEN
AT BROOKLYN
AMERICANS DECLARE FOR WAR
GRIFFITH CLAIMS THAT AGREE
MENT OF DATES HAS BEEN
VIOLATED.

Agreed When Nationals Opened in
cans should Have the Plum This
Year and Now McGraw Will Play
HRnlOn in Brooklyn on the Open
ing Day, which Is Looked on as
Virtually N New York Game-Mc-
Graw Says He viii stand Pat and
War May Result.
According to positive statements
made here by Manager McGraw of the
Giants before he left for Birmingham,
the declarations of American League
moguls, if followed out, will lead to
a baseball war such as this country
has never seen. All of the impending
trouble comes from an alleged change
of dates on the part of the National
League teams, after the schedule was
submitted to the management of the
American League.
McGraw said during his stay in Sa-
vannah that the Giants would open
with Brooklyn in Brooklyn on April
IA, regardless of anything that the
ANTI AIdllO hight say VI uOs N1NOi a "
has d supreme contempt for the Amer
leans. He says they are babies and
are forever whining. IF they are so
strong and can make 1t so warm for
us why do they ask us to let them
have the opening day in New York.
They can open at the same time if
they like. We don't care. l know we
will get the crowds for we have the
ball players, and that is what New
York people want.
McGraw said the only agreement ex-
isting between the Nationals and the
Americans as regarded the New York
opening was that the Giants would not
open in New York, but no mention was
made of Brooklyn. 1t is claimed by
McGraW that when the schedule was
made out that April IA, was set apart
as the first game between the Giants
and New Hanlon's team and that
then was the time to kick if there was
any kick coming. Clark Griffith, of
the New York Highlanders, now prac-
ticing in Atlanta is quoting as saying
that if McGraw and his men persist
in opening in New York there will
be a fight to the death all down the
line, between the American, and Ma
LlOlidl. 4cdSuGSs 1ltQ AlA1l INC <ALiiCli-
cans would lick 'em to death"
McGraw laughed when he was ask
ed If the Giants would consent to play
the Highlanders. He was told that
Griffith and Farrell had made the
statement that they would give all of
the gate receipts to charity if the
Giants would play their team. II
don't care about advertising those fell
lows by playing them. 1 believe that
the public knows where to go to see
good ball, and our figures for atten-
dance last year certainly were con-
vincing enough to demonstrate that we
are the people In New York. The
Americans have about as much chance
to play US as they would have to beat
US If they did play US"
While Clark Griffith and his col
leagues are filling the papers of the
country with choice advertising ma -
in the shape of bantering talk, NJ
gsy and his tribe are doing hard WORK
to try and perfect themselves in the
art of ball tossing, and the impending
war is a matter that the scrappy lit
tie manager will look after when he
gets to it.

McGRAW LIKES PLANS
OF NEW BALL LEAGUE

Before leaving Savannah Man
ager McGraw of the Giants made
expression regarding the South At
lantic Baseball League, and said
that he thought it one of the most
compact and prospectively success
full organizations he knew of any,
where. II have played ball all
through this country" he said, land
would not hesitate a minute to
take my chances down here, and
1 believe that the new league will
be a paying venture if you can
keep the salary limit down. That
is the secret OF the ruin of all or
ganizations, the overstepping of
agreed salary limits.''

HOW TO STERlJIZE WATER.
PurificutiGti Effected by Using n Lit

PurificatiGE Effected by Using n Lit
tie CEF0riG!e. OF silver.
The constantly Increasing demand
for pure Water and for some method
by means of which this can be OBJ
tanned renders the recent communica-
ton made by Professor I'aternO to the
Reale Academia t.ei Lincei especially
intercSting Professor Patcrno has
suggested Il process for the publication
of drinking water which constitutes a
great step forward in the study of this
important problem.
From numerous and extensive eXpcr-
imentS mad" by this author it appears
that by adding to impure water, even
that containing pathogcnic microbe
an extremely small quantity of chic
ride of silver there is accomplished the
complete dsinfection of the water
For this purpose two milligrHmS or It
most two and one-half milligramS of
the chloride are sufficient to absolutely
stcriliZe liter Of water and to elimi-
nate every danger Of Infection
The process is 50 simple that one
cannot eXnect any Improvement upon
it in the future 1t may be used by any
one and in every condition OF life, the
sterilization being complete after a
few minutes. ten at the most. and no
apparatus being necessary beyond a
small vial with solution Of chloride
of silver
The water keeps its flavor and all of
it's properties without modification,
only undergoing a slight whitening,
which disappears after a few hours of
repose. Water purified by means of
boiling. ozone and all other processes
known up to the present when exposed
to the air soon becomes impure, where
as the process Of Professor Paterno
keeps the water pure for many months.
