KELLEY'S HAS BEENS'
CHAMPIONS TODAY

Joe KeIley's Toronto team is the I'M
disputed champion of the Eastern
League today. Yes, maybe for today
only. The Maple Leafs accomplished
that feat in Baltimore when they Sc
verely trounced Jack Dunn's Orioles in
the opening. and only league contest
decided yesterday. The final result of
the battle was II runs to 5, which is
certainly a big score for an opening
day game.
Jimmy Dygert. the former Philadel-
phia Athletic pitcher, started the game
for the Orioles. He lasted but three
lounds, the Leafs pounding him for six
runs In the thin d. Pope, who succeeded
him, was worse, the Kelieyites getting
TO him for a quartet of runs in the
fourth, and hves more in the fifth.
Thompson succeeded Pope and he did
the best work. The Toronto boys
found him for two runs, however. The
orioles made six errors. nearly all of
which were costly. Kid Muell r started
the game for the Canadians, but was
succeeded by Killian, the former De-
troit Ginger. The heavy batting on the
rart of the winners featured the game,

are bright this season. and il looks as
II Providence will have a good team.
The Grays have only been here ten
days and pract!sed less than seven
days, and In that time it is rather diff
cult to size up the great mount of new
material. The pitching staff looks good.
There is no lack of numbers, for we
have corralled ten twirlers. Slime is a
bit overweight. Martini shows i'm
provement. Rondeau. Peterson and
Fitzgerald will take are of the catch
ing department. Tarleton, a recruit
from the West, looks good for first
base. Jakey Atz, when he arrives here,
will go to second as usual. and Roy
Rock will stay at short. I will prob
ably o play a great deal myself this
season, and either Gillespie or McDer-
mott, with the chances favoring the
former, will play third base. Anderson
in left field has shown himself to be
a good fielder and hard hitter. Elston
will be shifted to right this season and
Phelan will be back in centre. An out
fielder is expected from the va KEGS
and another infeider may be secured
to play third. George Nil at second
looks like a good utility man. Mike
weiday will be utility outfielder.

PTIMISM is the keynote OF the
predictions made by Eastern
League magnates and managers
concerning he chances OF their teams
to cop the pennant. OF course every
leader expects that he has hit upon the
right combination, but the prediction
of each furnishes some interesting
reading. President Edward g. Barrow,
who is entering on his first season as
a full-fledged president, has In mind
some drastic improvements and rom
ises to introduce some innovations that
will prove his progressive policy.
An entire y new staff of a~rbitrators,
with a single exception. has been in

special attention will be given to that
department, which was wofully weak
last year.

There Is no reason why the

the pennant for the third time
this year and break all Eastern
League records. The team has
had an excellent season of spring
training. all the players on the
list have shown up well, and while
1t is true that we have lost Blair
and La Fftte and Ragon, II is
also true that In Mitchell, Jack
alitch, and the others, we have
plugged up the holes with men
equally as strong. 1 look for a
harder fight than last year, but I
hope to win. II Buffalo gives US
a good run the rivalry thus n
gendered will be good for the
game from both a sporting and a

STRANGE SUIT
 AGAINST POPOvICH

Dan Popovich has been sued in Com missioner Vim s court for $500 dam ages for the alleged stronghand rob- bery of her property, and the breaking up of her business as a boarding house keeper, together with exemplary dam ages and smart money.
 Mary says that on June l last, she was running boarding house in Doug las for miners and was enjoying large growing and lucrative business, mak ing a profit of $150 a month, and but for the wrongful, tortuous, malicious and oppressive acts of Popovich would have continued to make there at least that amount until the end of time She av- CTS on that day, Dan Popovich, as sisted by the city marshal of Douglas, took possession of her household goods, and drove her out
 On the date mentioned in the com plaint, the woman was living in house for which John Henson was agent, but she was in arrears for rent. Finding it impossible to collect the rent, Mr. Henson secured the servic- es of Chief of Police Schaeffer to serve the notice.
 "None of these people can spak word of English said MT. Henson, and I expect you had better get Dan Popovich to go with you.''
 Marshal Schaeffer says he acted on the suggestion, and that Popovich went with him. Schaeffer read the notice Popovich interpreted, the woman took 1t quietly, and the two men went away together. This was on the same day on which Popovich is accused of taking the furniture
 Dan Popovich says he does not know the woman, and that he never spoke to her in his life, except on the day when he went with the marshal to act as in terpreter.
