Many New Men
On Red SOxTeam.

Boston. April 13.-When the gong
rings for the opening of the American
League race at the Huntington Avenue
park tomorrow afternoon a new era in
Boston American League baseball will
have opened for the patrons of the
Hub
The days Of disafection and bicker-
ing have passed. Old familiar faces
for years dear to Boston American
League supporters viii be missing from
the bench. and strangers to Boston. as
we'll as to the majority of the men who
will face them in the Washington uni
form, will be ready to take their places
when the umpire calls time in the po-
sitions that the erratic Hobe Ferris,
the once reliable Jimmie Collins and
the heavy hitting Buck" Freeman
used to stand.
The old discordant element has gone.
The players, who. tired of team work,
tried to improve their own records and
consequently bred strife and lack OF
harmony in the once powerful Boston
baseball organization have come and
gone, and in their places are the as
seimblage of younger, brighter and far
more ambitious men than those who
for two years and over Quarrelled
among themselves while the Boston
American League team Rugged its dis
graceful position near the end of the
American League race.
The newcomers represent the cream
OF the various minor league organiza-
tions-men whose fame as hitters
forms part of the records of the Pacific
Coast League. f1elders whose all

A NEW VENTURE.
Jake Morse Establishes the Baseball
Magazine-A Good Staff.

Jacob c. Morse, one of the best
known and most ardent baseball fans
in the country, after quarter of a
century of faithful and efficient ser
vice as the baseball editor of the Bos-
ton Herald. has embarked on a new
venture, the publication of the Base
ball Magazine, a new periodical which
has just made it's initial appearance
and which is devoted to the national
sport. Mr.. Morse is too well known
to need any introduction to the base
ball public and by his long experience
and demonstrated capability is just
the man to make a success of such a
venture.
He has associated with him an ideal
list of contributors which includes
writer's and artists from all parts of
the United States; journalists who
stand as an authority in the baseball
world, among them Allen Sangree,
Hon. August Hermann, chairman of
the, National Z Commission; Henry
Chadwick, father of baseball; John
Bruce, secretary of the National Com
mission; Gym Bagley. the sporting
writer who for number of years was
kHOWH " IeducIS DIS tHc hight OIooS,
Lewis Pieper, coach at Harvard; Wal
ter Camp, coach at Yale; William F.
Kirk, Tad, the famous cartoonist and
a score of others whose work cannot
fail to make the magazine an authori-
ty in it's field.
The initial number in addition to a
number of other interesting articles,
contains one on 1.-The Seasons Out
look" by Mr. Morse; Ned Hanlon's
ideas of How to Improve the Came
plea for College Men in Summer
Baseball" by Louis Pieper and an in
teresting article by Tim Murnane.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
BOXING

Boston, April 13.-Pack McFarland's
victory over Jimmy Britt is the talk of
sporting circles. The Chicago stock
yards boy did not make much of a
showing here, although he was pitted
against an awkward fellow. q man
who was dangerous every second. But
Packy was touted as a champion He
didn't prove it and the impression
gained ground that he was a newspa-
per made champion, who had achieved
his record and reputation by beating
selected lemons. But Packy's reputa-
ton is safe now. He proved a fighter
of the first class Saturday. He won so
dccisively from James Edward Britt
that even Joe Cans ulna-bone victory
in the same number of rounds was not
more complete And it must not be for
gotten that Britt did we'll against the
Dane, Battling Nelson, in 2C-rOund
and 10-round bouts.
Mcfarland by this victory is now the
logical successor to Joe Cans. His vic
tory shows that he is to be classed
above Nelson, UnholZ. Memsic and the
other aspirants for Cans hcnOrs. What
he would have done to Tommy Muir
ply OF course is 4 speculation, but the
dore is that he would have beaten Tom
to a standstill.
The list of bouts for the week is not
very extensive. 1t is Holy week. Very
few in the fistic line will have any,
thing to do with pugilistic affairs this
week.
Tommy Burns will meet another
lemon nv the name of levy Smith at
Paris On Saturday. Burns no doubt will
win in Jig time. His opponent has no
reputation at all.

last fall. This is the one Red Letter
day throughout .baseballdom-the day
ON which the two big leagues are
scheduled to start on the race for the
1905 pcnnants. The unprecedentedly
prosperous season of 1907 bids fair To
be thoroughly overshadowed by the
still greater measure Of prosperity
which Is expected to crown the season
of 1903
On eight big league diamonds. wealth
er permitting today, eight games Of
baseball viii be played and the results
of the training which has been going
on for some time in the South will be
apparent. The throng of ardent en-
thusiasts through the length and
breadth of the land will either attend
games in person or watch with fever
1sh interest the bulletins which will
proclaim the victors IN the first games
of the current year.
One Of the noticeable features Of this
season Is the absence of the loud
claims which have characterized sea-
sons of the past. Heretofore each and
every magnate on either Of the big
league circuits has been sure weeks
and even months before the season
opened, that his team had double
clinched. automatic gripper, non-slip-
pable. self-acting automatic lead pipe
cinch on the pennant. This year each
manager has been content to express
his confidence In his team and some
OF them have even gone so far as to
admit that they did not expect to land
the pennant this year. but would be
content if their aggregations showed
the material with which championship
honOrs might be won in the future.
The Boston Americans will open on
their own grounds. with the Washing
ton team as opponents. While the
people OF that section are saddened by
the big fire which -has devastated a
large portion Of Chelsea, practically
wiping out the business section, yet
interest in the baseball opening runs
high, and it is q safe prediction that
there will he large attendance in tho
game. 1t Is expected that Cy Young
and Lou Criger will be the battery
for the home team and as Joe CantillOn
has some fast material in his aggre-
cation this year it is likely that the
game will be fully up to the aveage

days at the Hub.
The Boston Nationals are scheduled
to open the season with "A four-days'
stand at Brooklyn, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Athletics and the
Highlanders are slated for an engage
ment across the river which will run
concurrently it Is confidently believed
that the Trolley Dodgers and the
Doves will draw their full share Of the
patronage of Gotham's baseball loving
public.
The other opening games IN the
American League are Detroit and Chi
cago. for three-days stand: and st.
Louis at Cleveland for the same
length of time. The other National
League games scheduled are New York
at Philadelphia. Pittsburg at ST. Louis
and Chicago at Cincinnati, each for a
