Baseball fans of the four cities
comprising the northern end of the
International League circuit have
their chance to enthuse today over
the opening of the season.
The Tigers, after suffering a defeat
at the hands of the Jersey City Club
yesterday. departed for Toronto to
help the Maple Leafs celebrate.
The only other contest decided in
the International League yesterday
brought together the Providence
Grays and the Montreal Royals.
Providence won with ease by an SO
score.
Preparations for monster ceiebra-
ton have been made at Toronto,
where the Newark Club opens today.
The Toronto team drew $4,000 on
opening day at home last season, and
though the Maple Leafs return
home in last place it is believed that
the pennant which they won last
year will cause many of the fans to
overlook the temporary slump of
Kelley's men.
Jersey City will lift the lid at Buff
falo today. Clymer's men have been
making a good showing on the road.
Baltimore has the honor of lifting
the lid at Rochester. and Providence
will open in Montreal. A crowd of
1000 fans on opening day is con-
considered a record in Montreal.
