BASEBALL SEASON.

Now what do we care for tariffs,
and what do We care for trade? And
what do we care, on a day like this,
for dollars lost or made? We waive
and our sins, on this blazing day when
the 'Umps'' call PLAY" and the
grand old game begins.
Since a world-watched hour at Bos-
ton when Snodgrass fluked that fly
and the Red Sox scampered homeward
to a glory that cannot die-Since then
We have waited glumly for the robin
and the lark and the teeming tiers
and the joys and fears of the reborn
baseball park.
The links have begged our favor
with their fashionable reach, and grid
iron blood betimes has moved our
lips to approving speech; and the
swing that has sent the scrapper to
the floor for the ..eount. of ten''-they
have helped us bear the sentence till
the GAME should be called again.
Why, even the magnate Strutting
through the lines of the sporting page,
while the diamonds all lay helpless in
the grip of the winters rage-even he
has frightened the bleakness of the
interim's murky pail till Time should
fish from his blouse once more a
brand-new virgin ball.
And the Time is here. At p. m.
he shall grunt his raucous Now!"
For Today resumes the struggle. To-
day the warriors bow. Today the line
of hearses shall wend their unseen
way to the graves of the dear old
grandmas whom the baseball openings
slay. And Today the boss shall be
stricken, provided the day be fair, and
the clerk shall writhe in the torture
of the ills to which flesh is heir. To-
day on a million office doors Git never
as yet has failed) a glorious lie in a.
glorious cause at O'Clock shall be
nailed. In west and east, and north
and south. and the far-off isles of the
seas, wherever the Stars and Stripes
tc day shall whip a wandering breeze;
wherever bugle greets the flag, or
the roll of the beaten drum, the base
ball fan shall enter TODAY, his king
dom come

OPINION DIFFERS.
Some Base Runners Are Fast, and
Some Are Tricky.

Some Are Tricky.
Philadelphia, April 16.-Catcher Ira
Thomas of the Athletics was asked
who in his opinion, are the best base
runners in the American League. To
this the veteran catcher made this
rather surprising reply:
For speed the best are Cobb. Mi
Ian and Collins; but if you asked me
what base runners I watch most vigil
lantly I would quickly name George
Moriarity and Jimmy Callahan.
II consider Moriarity the trickiest
base runner in the country, but Gala
han, now in his thirty-ninth year,
gives me just as much trouble. Surely
the work of this veteran. who first put
on a ma jor league uniform as a regu-
lar in 1897 is lesson to young play

stands stock still four feet from the

break. When he turns his back he

chance. He will sneak home on moth
ing. No matter what chance he takes
he gets away with it nine times out of
ten. | consider Callahan one of the

Los Angeles, April 16.-Bud Ander-

knockout in the fifteenth round of their
scheduled twenty-round lightweight
bout.
A month ago today the pair fought
twenty rounds to a draw in the same
arena.
Anderson will be matched with Joe
Mandot or Joe Rivers for a May or
July date.
Brown was knocked down ten times
during the fight
Officially the decision was that An
derson stopped Brown in the fifteenth
when Referee Eyton raised Anderson's
hand in token of victory.
Only three rounds could be credited
to Brown. In two others he held An
derson even. In all of the rest the
Medford boy led
Browns jaw at all times was an un-
guarded target for the savage blows
of Anderson and it was only his game
ness that kept him fighting as long as
he did.
Anderson looked drawn when he APP
peared in the ring. Evidently he had
had difficulty in making the weight.
The effect of the strenuous measures
he took to save his weight forfeit mon
ey was shown in one or two rounds
of the fight. when he appeared to be
firing rapidly.
Brown was helpless when he came up
in the fifteenth. Anderson sent in five
uppercuts to the jaw as they met.
Brown went down for the count of
nine He hung on desperately when he
regained his feet but another right to
the body sent him down second time.
He rose helpless and fell under a third
blow to the jaw and was still on his
back when the referee raised Ander-
sons hand, declaring him the winner.
