OPEN BASEBALL
SEASON
PENNANT- RAISING WITHIN pRIS-
ON is MARKED BY ELAB-
CRATE CEREMONY.

Atlanta, Ca, April 5-.Attended by
of the big leagues, the baseball sea-
son OF 1913 was inaugurated at the
federal penitentiary here today. There
was a parade through the prison
grounds behind the prison band, a
march across the field and the raising
of the championship pennant of 1912,
won by a team composed of men of
the stone cutting shop.
The new ~season started with eight
teams and today there was a double
header.
The more than 500 prisoners had
been given the freedom of the grounds.
The umpires, selected from among
the prisoners, were freely denounced
as "robbers' and there was not a
feature Of outside baseball missing in
the prison contest while some of the
plays would AVE done credit to a ma
jor league team.
The flag-raising was an impressive
ceremony. The baseball diamond is
in the shadows of the great concrete
walls surrounding the prison. About
the flag pole We're grouped all of the
players. surrounded by other prison
ers. The flag was bestowed upon the
winners with a clever little speech
from a prisoner, a man prominent in
the news of the country at one time.
AS the red, white and blue
properly lettered as the championship
token of the Prison league fluttered tc
the breeze, the prison band played

The high school boys will meet the
university freshmen in a track and
field meet April 16, unless arrange
ments made yesterday between
Coaches McGough and MUSTANG fall
through. Rivalry between the
sscholastics and the college infants
has been unusually keen this year.
The first plan was to hold a relay
race between the two teams, but the
rivalry became so keen that it was
decided to hold a meet instead.
A meeting between the. two teams
