From other cities in the association
where games are to be played there
comes reports of favorable weather.
1t seems to be the general trend of the
weather all through this section to
moderate and although the weather
was cold this afternoon in many places
all the games were close enough to
lend enchantment to the occasion de-
spite the cold.
The Webb City team which is play
ing the opening series with Topeka
arrived in Topeka last night, coming
direct from Webb City. The Triplets,
as the Webb City players are now des-
ignated. are a husky looking bunch
says he will have one of the strongest
teams In the league. Many of the
faces are unfamiliar in Topeka but
have been in the business before and
renee Milton, the owner of the team
was delayed in Webb City and did not
get to arrive with the bunch last night.
He reached Topeka this noon, however,
and was in uniform this afternoon.
Joe Burke and Ed Pokorney, the two
umpires who are to be stationed in To
peka for a few days arrived in the city
this morning and were present to ham
die the Indicator this afternoon.
The feature of, the opening Of the
season was the street parade which
started from the Copeland hotel at 2
O oclock this afternoon. The parade was
headed by the Knight and Ladies OF
Security band in, a big tallyho. Then
came the players Of the two teams rid
ing in cabs, after which the spectators
players of the two teams, were treated
to a supply of Havanas and stogies
with milder aromas. The parade cross
ed the river to Gordon street in North
Topeka Here the parade turned south
ward and recrossed the river and then
continued their march to the ball
grounds.
After reaching the grounds the two
teams engaged in Is minutes prelimi-
nary practice in order to get warmed
up and get their optics fixed on the
ball and give the visiting players
chance to accustom themselves to the
grounds.
Then the big ceremony Of pitching
the first ball over the plate was en-,
acted. Mayor William Green, who had
been occupying a seat on the bench,
took a commanding pose in the pitch
er's box and as the umpire handed him
a ball, he commenced long series of
windups which rivalled only those of
Pollard in their simplicity, and then
with a mighty groan sent the ball
platewards with more or less velocity.
Catcher Brennan extracted the ball
from the dust and then the big game
was ready to start.
At the umpire's "Play Ball. DR..
Walter Pollard took his place in the
pitchers box and Left Fielder Pease
took his place in the batter's box and
the big game started.
Fully fifteen hundred people were
gathered together to witness the op-
ening game and watched the players
battle for the first blood of the season
during the two hours that followed.
Roach. a southpaw pitcher, worked for
the Triplets and made a good show
ing.

lined UP for the opening game:

REAL BASEBALL.
western Association Formally Begins
the Struggle Today.

1.-The The Western Association season of
1908 is here
The only feature detracting from the
perfectness of the day is the weather
Inreaten1ng clouds overhang the city
at times and a wind which is a little
raw and the players did not take many
chances with their arms. But the sun
penetrated through the clouds at inter-
walls sufficient to keep the fans from
freezing and to make the day a little
more congenia1 to the fans. On the
whole, it is much better day for
pasebaH than Topeka has witnessed
for several days.
