NEW YORK, April 1.-THE most
interesting news the New York base
ball fans have heard for several days
came from the weather bureau today
with the promise of fair skies and a
warming-up sun. To the followers
of the American League CLUB, under
the new leadership of Frank Chance,
the let-up of many days of hard rain
came most timely for the regularly
scheduled first appearance in New
York of the rejuvenated team.
The day will be made one of
rousing reception to the new leader
and his men. Before the game starts
Chance will be presented with an
elaborate set of resolutions signed by
several hundred prominent New
sYorkers and huge floral horseshoe
and ball Martial airs by big band
will help to make the reception noisy
Chance himself will be in the game
stationed at first. The leg which he
injured in an ante-season game at
Brooklyn has rounded into shape, and
Chance declares that he is ready for
a fast and aggressive game.
The opposing team Is washington.
The probable batteries are Mcconnell
and Sweeney for New York and john
, son and Ainsmith for Washington.

ark for the first time In the Interna-
tional League.
For the past three seasons the OPEN
ing day celebrations have been post
poned because of rain. so the fans are
becoming accustomed to this sort OF
shabby treatment. All of the box
seats were sold out weeks ago, and
the reserve seats have been in such
great demand that the stock is al
most depleted and probably will be
entirely gone an hour after the gates
are opened.
The gates will be thrown open about
l o'clock; II all depends on the ad-
vance rush. The Public Service has
made arrangements to handle the big
gest crowd in the history of baseball
in this city, the previous record being

for a double-header mere.

Manage Harry Smith, in an official

alton with IA prediction that Newark
will win the flag this season. 1t Is
not customary for leader, and a new
leader, at that, to make such a claim,
but Harry is so confident that his
statement cannot be taken as a Drag
or boast.
The Toronto team is a good COM
bination and Smith doesn't look for
an easy time in winning the first Sc
ries of the season. The Kelleyites are
scheduled to play here until Sunday,
when Buffalo will be introduced for a
Sabbath contest. The Tigers remain
at home until May 8. playing all OF
the Northern teams and meeting Jer-
