Peking. March 2.--Tt is believed
that Yuan Shi Kai has lost control OF
the soldiery. None OF the troops ex
cept the Manchus are to be depende ed
on and they evidently care only TO de.
fend the imperial and forbidden cities
The smoldering fires in many dis
tricts of the city are being raked over
by throngs of the poor No fresh fires
have occurred, but there has been
some further footing in remote quar-.
ters of the city
Yuan Shi kai, it is alleged, has been
endeavoring 10 retain the loyalty OF
the soldiers in Peking by permitting
his bodyguard to do as they pleased.
Only small body of Yuan Shi Kai's
men now remain loyal to him.
The delegates from Nanking sue

residences where they were the guests
or the city. They are now staying at
a hotel in the legation quarter.
The streets have been thronged all
day, but all the shops and houses are
closed Long lines of carts continue
to bring valuables into the legation
quarter where they are stored in for.
eign banks and warehouses.
Legations Filled With Refugees.
Space being limited in the legation
quarter only few of the better class
of Chinese are being permitted TO take
refuge there Many Christians, how.
ever, are being harbored In the mis-.
sion compounds
The trains departing for Tientsin
are crowded with refugees.
The number of killed during the
disturbances probably is under 100,
The object of the rioters evidently was
loot and not slaughter and the con.
tinued firing apparently was designed
10 intimidate the people.
Throughout the day looting OF stores
and nssidences occurred in various
parts of the city and there were sew.

to the foreign legations.

PLAY BALL. HEARD.
ON MAJOR LEAGUE
DIAMONDS TODAY
American and National Cir
cults Open Nineteen
Twelve Season.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE raucous
cry of the umpire, PLAY Ballv today
marked the official opening OF the 1872
baseball season.
IT also marked the beginning of the
open season for office boys grand
mothers, a tremendous increase in the
death rate, and the beginning Of a bull
market In knotholes in the baseball
ground fences. All the victims of that
form OF paranoia, known as baseballitis
were out in force and the peculiar cry
OF the fan. Take him out! Take him
outl" was abroad In the land. For no
true fan would miss the Opener" And
the big league openers were all pre-
pared to open today. This Is how they
line up for the first battle:
National League-Eew York at Brook
lyn. Philadelphia at Boston. Pittsburgh
at st. Louis, Chicago at Cincinnati.
American League-St Louis at Chi
cago, Detroit at Cleveland, Washington
at Philadelphia, Boston at New York.
But the IA players who line up for
| today's game are probably in poorer
condition than the big league players
| on any opening day of recent years. 1t
| may be a month or more before the
practice of regular games will tune the
players up to the proper big game
pitch. They will have to get in their
regular games the training they should
nave na0 at tne southern training
| camps throughout the spring. For
| spring training this year was made al
most impossible by rain. At practical
/ ly every training camp that lodged
big league team, rain was the regular
| order throughout the training season.
] II rained day and night, and In many
I cases regular batting and fielding prac-
| tice was next to impossible.
| With this condition confronting them,
| the managers of the big league teams
| will force as many as possible of their
players into the early games, to round
| them into shape. The big league out
| fits of this year line up almost exact
/ ly as they closed the season last year.
The important shifts of players that
| usually mark the opening of the sea-
| son were missing this spring, and each
| team succeeded in holding its favorites.
But the big shifts took place among
| the managers of the various teams.
| In the American League Harry VOL
| verton has taken charge of the Yankees,
| succeeding Hal Chase. Jake Stahl Will
| manage the Boston Americans. me-
| Aleer, who. ran the Washington team
| last year, has taken over the presidency
| OF the Boston outfit. and Clark Griffith
| succeeds him as manager OF the Sena-
| tors Harry Davis Is another new one,
| at the head of the Maps. Hughey Jen-
nings, Bobby Wallace, and Jim Gala

lively. Connie Mack stays at the head

Poor Stick Work
Loses for Western

, Weak hitting by Western was respon-
sible for the loss of yesterdays game
to Gallaudet at Kendall Green by a
to 2 score. The Red and White was
unable to cope with the Gallaudet pitch
ers and rallied In the ninth, but could
not get enough to win.
Gallaudet presented a changed line
up and made four errors which aided
the high school boys in scoring. Bat
tiste and Moore allowed but two hits
during the nine innings and took things
easy. Loomis, pitching for Western,
showed good form, allowing the COL
lege team eight hits and giving but one
base on balls. ...
The fact that Western has been un-
able to hit in the last two games played
is causing misgivings as the team Is
expected to win the bulk of games on
its hitting ability. That Loomis is
coming to the front gives promise OF
strength in the box. The score.
