following signed statement: Il
Carl Morris will engage in no boy

The performance of Morris In the
bout with Schreck was very satisfac-

Riley. Such criticisms as have been
hurled at him by disappointed promot-
ers and certain sporting writer's does
not affect or disturb Carl Morris or

TODAY OPENS THE
BASEBALL SEASON

Toledo, o., April 12--"Although I
may be lacking in originality" said
Thomas M. Chivington, president of
the American association today,
nevertheless / venture to predict that
the American association season OF
1911 which opens today, wilt be the
best ever enjoyed by this league, both
from a playing and financial stand
point.
1.-THE article OF ball played by the
various teams of the organization last
season was OF high quality, yet the
race was far from being a close one;
this year the standard Of excellence set
last year should be maintained, while
the struggle for the pennant promises
to be far tighter.
In 1910 the Minneapolis club proved
to be stronger that the other clubs of
the circuit, but 1911 finds no such in
equality, as all the weaker clubs have
materially during the OFF
season and will enter the race much
improved In all the departments OF
the game AS far as 7 can see now,
there are no weak sisters in the AM
erican association.
