HE Jersey City Eastern League
Club, last of the eight teams
to go into training for the OPEN
ing Of the Eastern League season, be-
gan practise this morning at West
aside Park, Jersey City. Two weeks
from today the major league teams
will get into action for another sea-
Seeon, and three weeks from today the
Eastern League teams will follow suit.
WThe Eastern League teams all have
many recuits among them, some very
promising players, and it looks now
as though the teams which will face
the barrier on the getaway day will be
more evenly matched than the eight
pennant chasers who made the season
last year one of the greatest in the
history of the organization.
II Ljungstrom finishes the Marathon
race scheduled for the Polo Grounds
Saturday and is beaten, the man that
flashes in ahead of him will certainly
be a champion. The Swede is one of
the easiest-looking runners the writer
ever seen, and seems to get every
thing out of every move. wasting moth
ing.
The board of control of the National
Cycling Association has adopted new
rules governing the national champion
ship races. If they are enforced bike
fans will be glad because anything
they despise is petty pickering and a
contest of political wits by the riders
instead of riding skill.
