Another butchered exhibition of the
national game was given at the fair
grounds yesterday afternoon between
the nine from La Sale institute and
Bade's Mixtures and in the presence
of about 500 spectators, who were
given no opportunity to display en-
thusiasm at any point of the contest,
the players waded through nine of the
slOwest innings that it has ever been
the lot of sport loving people to see,
the score standing at the close of the
game, to l in favor of the latter.
Superior batting was the main
stronghold of the Mixtures, while the
La Sale youths seemed to excel in
base running and general team work,
though poor judgment and errors at
critical moments proved fatal to them
La Sales lone score happened in the
first of the third when Marcus was
passed to first on being hit by a
pitched ball Dunnigan retired after
three futile passes and failing to con-
meet with the curves was followed by
LeRoux who pulled down a single.
Parkes went up and Davies reached
the first bag on an infield hit poorly
handled at second. Marcus came home
leaving the remainder of the runners
where they stood
The lineup of the teams follows
Bade's Mixtures = First. Buchet:
third. Herman; second McAllister;
catcher, Lankard; left field, Aubin
and Ripley; right field, Blackman;
shotstop, Segrist; center field, Han
naman; pitcher, Ripley and Aubin.
LaSalles-Shortstop, Leroux; third
Parkes; first, Davies; catcher
Bower; left field, Dacres; second
Ennis; center field, Niebergall right
field, Marcus; pitcher, Dunnigan.

both of whom show unusual promise.
On third base is George Moriarity,
a 1908 Highlander who is declared to
be playing better than Coughlin did
in either 1907 Or 1908. Then, too, De-
troit will have the services for the en-
tire season of Owen Bush, the sensa-
tional shortstop secured from the In
dianapolis club, at the close of the
American association season last year,
and whose supplanting of O'Leary So
braced up the team that 1T forged
ahead and won out.
AS additions to his strong box corps
of last year, Jennings has three good
youngsters in Works, Suggs and La
fitte. Willett and Summers, two new
stars in the American league firma-
ment last year, will shine with added
luster this season, Jennings says. So
the Titian-haired Hughey can't see
how the Tigers can be shut out of
their third successive pennant.
The addition of Old Cy Young, who,
like city corner lot, improves with
age. to the Cleveland pitching staff,
makes Lajoie's bunch look dangerous.
Cleveland has looked dangerous so Of
ten. however, only to have the fuse go
out, that she is not generally picked
for the front seat. Bradley is believed
to be weakening at third and with a
big question mark after Terry Turner
at short due to tangled shafting in his
throwing arm, the inner works of the
Naus look none too strong.
Minus Manager Fielder Jones, it is
hard to figure the Chicago White Sox
any stronger than last year. Jones re-
fused an offer of $15,OOO.00 which
shows that ball players may now
speak of their salaries rather than
wages. The White Sox bid fair to re-
main the "Hitless Wonders" winning
a majority of games by brains instead
of Drawn. The personnel will be prac-
tically unchanged, with the exception
If Jones.
The other upper berth team of
last season, the ST Louis Browns, is
picked to put up the same scrappy
game and is sure to be a factor The
catcher, to the team will bolster it up
where it was lamentably weak.
Network will experiment with a
team made up largely of youngsters
and managed by George Stallings, the
Highlanders being one of the few
teams that Stallings had not hitherto
managed. The Highlanders will only
have to finish seventh to do better
than last year and if you want to get
a fight out Of Stallings, just hint that
the Hilltoppers won't do this.
Connie Mack's Athletics will have d
veteran pitching staff in Dygert,

Uutf1elds with some new "cloth' that
he says will wear we'll and may

AMERICAN LEAGUE OPENS ITS
SEASON IN WASHINGTON
AND PHILADELPHIA.
Many Changes in the Lineup of the
Big League Bunches This Year
All Play Wednesday.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Hardly
knowing how he managed to survive
since the last worlds championship
baseball game. Mr.. Baseball Bug came
into his own this afternoon when the
tenth season of the American league
got under way. Mr. Bug has had a
hard winter of it, but reports from
his various habitats today indicated
that he Is again in fine trim, with
lungs in order and eyes far more dis
cerning than those of the umpire.
After many long and strenuous
weeks Of training in the south, the 16
baseball clubs composing the National
and American leagues are ready for the
seasons play. The American league
opened the season today at Wash
cans engaged the home team, and
at Philadelphia, where the Boston
home team an dthe Athletics clashed
On Wednesday April IA, all of the
clubs in both leagues will march upon
the field. The National league eastern
clubs will engage one another, while
the western clubs will start the season
on their own playing fields.
Two factors add special interest to
the American league race this year;
the first being the unusual number Of
youngsters who are being given their
first opportunity in major league and
the other the struggle of Detroit to
win a third successive championship
and thereby establish a record for the
league.
From the Tigers camp there come
omnibus growls and Hughey eJnnings,
that human storage battery of energy
who guides the team of the City Of
Straits, declares that he will not have
to wait this year until next to the
last game before having the cham
pionship won.
The unprejudiced observer is forced
to admit that unless other contenders
have strengthened materially, there Is
good grounds for Jennings boast. The
only faces missing from the Tiger line
up this year will be third baseman
Coughlin, catcher Thomas and substi-
tute inf1elder Downs, all Of whom
were let out by Jennings, so it is to
be inferred that their absence will not
weaken the team In Thomas place as
second catcher Detroit has two re-
cruits in ReckendOrf and Stanage.

ST. Yves, winner OF the Marathon
Derby at the polo grounds New York,
on Saturday last.
The victory of st. Yves was the
biggest upset in athletic circles in re-
cent years. Although he won the event
by handsome margin, he did not
show himself heady runner, his fire.
Guent spurts were in the main uncalled
for, and were the result of poor
judgment. Much Of the success was
due to his condition, which was
splendid. Contrary to general belief,
no championship was involved in the
race, and ST. Yves must beat several
good men before he can claim the til
tie. On Saturday he again showed his
ability by winning from Maloney by
more than half a mile.

Tom Johnson's Setback.

Mayor Tom Johnson, who for 80
long has been the dominant figure in
Cleveland politics, a potential force in
the state Of Ohio and once thought Of
for the presidency, appears to have
suffered a severe setback. Practically
all his political capital was manufac-
tured out Of the traction problem In
Cleveland and when he won what
looked like a victory and secured a
Scent fare and municipal control his
star was high in the ascendant. Moth
ing but w. ]. Bryan stood between
Tom johnson and a democratic presi-
dental nomination. But his plan was
a failure, being finally knocked out by
the courts. He played his big trump
when he appealed to the people OF
Cleveland on the Schmidt franchise,
only to be turned down by a de-
cisive majority.
Tom Johnson is still mayor Of Cleve-
land, but practically all his political
prestige hung on his street railway
scheme, and now hat it is re-
pudiated It appears nothing remains
but an appeal to the political bank.
ruptcy court.
Tom Johnson is a most pleasing per
sonality and, combined with good ma.
ture, he has an optimism which know!
no bounds. 1t was this cheerful and
sure optimism which impressed the
people with his rosy promises in spite
of argument and nothing could shake
his hold on the voters until practfea
trial showed up the mistake.

An Accomplished Fact.

The occupation tax imposed on the
franchised corporations to compensate
the city for the use Of the streets is
an accomplished fact. BY the new or
dinances Just sent to the mayor, and
which are assured of his approval,
these corporations will be required to
pay quarterly into the city treasury a
tax. equal to 3 per cent Of their earn
lngs within the corporation boundaries.
The proceeds of this occupation tax,
exclusive of the disputed tax on the
water company, should approximate
$4,000 a year, Inc increase from
year to year as the business of these
public services increases. The figures
disclo, ed by the royalties paid hereto
fore by the gas company and the cleo
trio lighting company would indicate
that this increase will be at a rate of
not less than 8 per cent. so that the
addition each year on the 3 per cent
basis should range upwards OF $4,000.
On final passage the progressive
scale, which had previously been
agreed upon by the council, seems to
have been abandoned in order to meet
some %unfounded objections raised by
the city attorney. This change will
make no difference in the proceeds Of
the a. for this year or next year, and
possibly for several years, but the pro-
gressive scale had the merit of raising
the rate automatically as the business
of the franchised corporations ex-
banded. Should an effort be made in
the future TO raise the rate, 1t will IN
questionably meet the united opposi-
ton of the corporations, which strug-
gle could have been avoided by incor-
poTating the progressive scale into the
present ordinances.
The enactment of these occupation
tax ordinances is the elimination of a
long fight waged in the interest of the
taxpayers. Its importance may not be
fully realized right away, nor need
those who have, led or helped in the
fight expect the credit which they de-
serve, but they, along with The Bee,
will take a great deal of satisfaction
in the outcome.

Congressional Homeoomings.

The extra session Of congress Is
drawing to a close and congressman
and senators will soon return to their
constituents. For many OF them 1t
will be a mingling of sadness and glad
ness. They will find the c~hautauqua
dates all filled and the political
committees waiting to collect the reg
ular fall assessments. There will be
some for whom the bands will not
play "See, the Conquering Hero
Comes" or Hail to the Chief" At
best the tariff ia a dry and %unenter-
tanning subject and congress has not
made a record for expedition. The
constituent with a kick will be as nu-
merous as usual and the direction Of
the kicks equally varied.
Another distressing feature from
the congressman's point Of view is
that he will have few, il any, canned
plums to pass around. The session
has been devoted entirely to tariff dis
cussion and public building, private
pension and other private and com
munity bills have bee placed in cold
storage until December. Neither has
the president been particularly active
in passing out the Offices. Taken al
together the congressman are not in
the happiest frame of mind, and If for
a windup Speaker Cannon should end
the session by distributing ice to those
of the house who lined up on the los.
ing side there will be still more grief
in the satchels.
Really, it is a good time for con
gressmen and senators to go fishing in
some secluded spot.
