Kling Says Boston
 Nationals Need Only
 Few Heady Pitchers

Boston, Jan. 2o-John M. Ward, president of the Boston Nationals, in an interview here yesterday intimated strongly that the Boston Nationals will open at home on April II, not withstanding that it is the Bos ton American League teams. turn to open Red Sox will open the season e,se- where, possibly in New York. and that all openings of the Eastern cities in the two big leagues will be affected.
 It is believed that Ward has received a tip on the schedule, as he seemed to be sure that his team will open at home. In discussing the teams training schedule a newspaper man re- been left open. Ward then said there was a possibility of his team open ing the season in Boston It was pointed out to him that it was the turn of the Red Sox to open here To this Ward replied:
 Fan Johnson is very influential man, and perhaps he can arrange 1t so the Red Sox can play away from home until such time as their new ball
 Realizing he had gone too far, Ward then said:
 .aThey should at least let club own rather important in arranging spring dates"
 It has been rumored here for some time that the Red Sox would open away ITOn nome Ou dCCOuul' O1 lnS T new grounds not being completed. President Wards remarks strengthen the rumor.
 Johnny Rling. the new Boston man ager,, was here yesterday for the first time since his appointment Kling is optimistic about his teams chances for next season.
 What we want, efSa4d, ifs few good pitchers to he1p cut That is our greatest weakness. As we stand now I am sure we will beat out at last five clubs this year, and we are apt to beat out few more of them Just a couple of good pitchers to bol- ster up the staff, and we won't be afraid to meet any of them.''

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

Manager Wolverton is not making any strenuous effort to shift his ma terial before the opening of the sea son. "Of course,'' he says, ''if see good chance to strengthen the team I will do so; but almost any man should be able to- pick a strong aggre- gation from the bunch of men we al ready have There isn't better pitching staff in the country. and Chase is a great nucleus around which to build an infield-"
 The Highlanders' new manager does not expect every man to be a star but believes that the team that wins a pennant must be thoroughly fitted to- gether so that strength and weakness solidified whole a smooth running machine.
 Many followers of baseball believe the Detroit Tigers will be dangerous gain as pennant contenders. They pOint to the fact that Gainor is a doubtful quantity, and that Moriarty, DeIehanty and several of the veteran twirlers are less dangerous than for merry No team on which Ty Cobb plays, however, can be regarded with anything but profound respect. E Corniskey believes that he obtained a very promising youngster when he got Rath from the Baltimore club Although comparatively young in years, Rath has had long experience in league baseball. He has played with the Athletics and the Maps. in addition to several minor league cluhs.
 Although not considered a wonder with the bat, he hits well above the average and is. fast on the bases. On second base Rath has proved himself an infielder of value. He covers his position well from any angle, and has a quick throw that gets the runners. Rath came to the White Sox by the draft route
 Jeff Tesreau will receive another thorough tryout with the Giants at Marlin this spring. If the big fe low shows any sort of a curve ball he may stick With the big show. If not he is probably due for another sea- sons development in the minors.
 Ed Walsh. considered by some the League, will get an early start this season. He will be one of the pitch CTS who will accompany Jimmy Ca la han to the Texas camp on Feb. 20. a week or so in advance of the main squad. The new manager wants his spit-ball star to be in prime shane when the season opens, for that would mean a lot toward winning a good per- .centage of early games.

The conviction of millionaire
financiers and the recent indict-
ment of Clarence barrow, the
distinguished lawyer, indicates
a very radical change of moral
standards, in both the financial
and professional world. The
time has been when the only
crime in either field was failure,
and then the only punishment
was the ridicule of the more sue
cessful. 1t has been that any
sort of scheme or trick by which
a lawyer could shield his client
and defeat justice, added i'm
mensely to his laurels, and was
related with great gusto around
winter fires by admiring friends
of the legal trickster. That a
distinguished lawyer should now
even be indicted for bribery is a
mark of a vast and distinctive
development of public ideals. In
this day and time the operations
of Jay Gould, as a railroad
wrecker and financial buccaneer,
would have landed him behind
prison bars in short order. Then
however, his violations of the
moral code was looked upon as
an advanced method of finan.
ciering. 1t is a sign of a better
era that these things are no long.
er condoned and winked at.
