BASEBALL SEASON
OPENS THURSDAY

The Championship season of the major
leagues will open next Thursday, ard
the signal 80 get under way for the
fights for the flags will find the ma
iority of the sixteen teams better rss-
pared than at any time before.
The training trips taken by the ma
iority OF the clubs have been more elab-
crate than ever before and the amount
of money expended in fitting the play
ers for the severe struggle is greater
than the outlay for any previous cam
paigns.
TWO Of the clubs, both representing
Boston, got severe blows during the
early training period, the Boston Amer
leans through the suicide of Capt.
"Chick" StahI, and the Boston Ma
tionals. owing 70 the death from typhoid
fever of Outfelder DOlan. These event
make a hole in each team and besidr5
the effect on the players Of the teams
cannot be other than depressing.
Some of the clubs, too, still have men
holding out for more money or other
reasons before signing. the principal
hold-outs being Stshl, of Washington;
Parent, of Boston: Mcintyre of Detroit;
George Davis. of the Chicago Americans,
ard Catcher King. of the Chicago Ma
tionals. The managers of these teams.
though have had plenty Of time to pre-
pare for the absence of these players at
the start of the race. so that they will
not be SO greatly Handicapped in the
first two weeks, when the youngsters
would extend themselves more than the
veterans to get a regular berth on the
teams.

create JOY ia the hearts OF It's follow
ers, the George Washington baseball
team defeated Davidson College yes
terday on the local grounds by Il 2
in an exciting game.
The result OF the game is due in a
large measure TO the mighty arm OF
Carr, the Hatchetite pitcher, who served
EN- up with various curve sauces that
were not 1t ali to the liking of th1 op-
posing batsmen. Seven OF these bats
men failed to connect with his delivery
at all. and only four of them are ac-
credited with hits.
No team, however, can win a game
by keeping The other side from SCOT

tOnIans fell upon Lanford In the third
session. and drove him out of the game.

against them in yesterdays contest,
and this made by Brennan was due to
