New York, April 12-Today Is the big day. On eight major league diamonds the clarion call of the umpire will be heard calling "batteries today. The Giants take the lid off by playing Philadelphia at the Polo grounds. On the eve of the battle the following statements were issued by the heads of the two leagues: By Thomas Lynch, National League
 President.)
 It seems likely that a brilliant and prosperous season for baseball is inn pending At, least six of the eight clubs in the National League will be keen contestants for pennant honors and the right to meet the American League champions in the worlds championship series On paper, the New York Giants, the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburg Pirates are admit tedly we'll matched, while Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Cincinnati have fill ed holes that heretofore have sapped their strength. The other two clubs are under fine management and may prove great surprises. The result will be that the coming season will likely produce some new records.
 By Byron Bancroft Johnson, Amer
 ican League President.)
 The high water mark in baseball will probably be far eclipsed in the season that began today. There is but one club, St. Louis, which at the opening of the season does not appear to figure in the running for the pen nant race. New York, under Chase's management, is wonderfully improved. but so are all of the other clubs and there will be no runaway victory for any one organization. It looks as if the percentage column would stay close from start to finish.
