nERTINENr COMMENT
~; Happenings

very small percentage of new faces Will
be seen at the outset of this season. This
is particularly true of those teams which
were in last years race. They have vir-
tually been no changes made in the line
up of Boston, Philadelphia and Washing
ton, and but few in the other teams of
the American League
1t may happen. however, that more of
the youngsters will break into the line
up as the season progresses and some
Of the old heads give indications of go
ing back.
According to President Ban Johnson,
games in the American League this sea-
son are to be played in less time than
ever before. The umpireS have been in
structed to hustle the games along. and the
managers of the teams are to cooperate
with them in an effort to have all games
played in as short time as possible Just
how this can be brought about remains
to be seen. There arc some games which
1t is impossible to play in less than two
hours. When the pitching is such that a
lot OF players reach the bases much time
is consumed. Another time-loser is the
paraphernalia worn by the catchers which
they are forced TO take off and put on
several times during a game. But every
effort should be made to run off the
contests as quickly as possible for long
draWn-out affairs are not popular.
1T seems to fall to the lot of the star
pitchers of the big teams to work on
opening day. johnson, for instance, IS
down to pitch for the Nationals, while
Wood is BOston's choice. Mullin will be
on the slab for the Tigers. and Walsh for
the White SoX. Cleveland may use
Mitchell. one of its left-handers while
Stovall is very apt to chase Baumgard-
ner to the rubber. In no instance is
younsster carded to work in the initial
game. While these contests do not count
any more tha1 any other game during the
season. yet it is the desire of every man
aSer to start the season with victory
On the theory that the eastern tees in
the National League are no str>1ger this
year than last, the Giants mould again
get a good start in the r<ce, for they will
be pitted against Bo[on, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia for nearly a month before
the strong western teams come east That
Is the trouble with the old league race
There are SO few strong teams that the
one which the schedule happens to favor
during the early weeks Of the season is
apt to get so long a lead that it will be
hard to catch. Let McGraws team get
out in front to a flying start. and he will
come pretty near to keeping it there to
the finish, for when it comes to nursing a
lead McGraw has few equals.

MARSHALL PRAISES
BASE BALLS HONESTY
As Inspiring to Business and
Professional Men as P0Iiti-
cal PreachmentS.

CHICAGO. April 1O.-vice President
Thomas r. Marshall praises the honesty
of organized base ball in a letter received
yesterday by b. 3. Johnson, president of
the American League. After acknowledge
ing the receipt of an engraved annual
pass, the Vice President says:
II am deeply interested in base ball be-
cause it is a fascinating game, because
it is the great American sport and be-
cause it sets an example to the business
and professional men of America which
is as valuable as the preachments of
politicians, namely, that no success is
lasting or permanently valuable which
does not result from playing the game
on the square. The dirt accumulated on
the base ball diamond is clean. demo-
crat cannot say that for all other dia-

BY j. ED GRILLO.

One of the express purposes for which
the Base Ball Players Fraternity was
organized was to protect the magnate as
well as the player. In the constitution
and bylaws the body expresses no SYM
pathy for contract jumpers, and it has
gone on record as being opposed to any
acts that would tend to injure the own
ers.
Ty Cobb is one of the four vice presi-
dents of the fraternity. In this capacity
he acts as member of an advisory
board. His failure to report has I'M
doubtedly hurt Mr.. Navin and the De-
troit club. Cobb has violated the very
rules for which he was partly response
BILE and thus has discredited the organ
was responsible.
players and club owners are to be settled
by the organization of which Cobb is an
officer, and yet he has violated the letter
and spirit of that organizations rules. :.
Cobb may report within the next few
days. but it is settled that if he does it
will not be with ii n-thousand- dollar
contract entered into. The Detroit
club does not propose to give
Cobb that amount. He could I'M
doubtedIy get substantial raise over
years, but the amount he has set is too
high and would establish dangerous
precedent in base ball.
Pittsburgh is conceded to have an cX-
cellent chance to win the National
League pennant this year. Ever since
the last season closed the Pirates have
been figured prime contender in the
present campaign and yet all calculations
may be upset by reason of the injury
which has befallen Hans Wagner, who
is suffering with a bad leg. The Pirates
without Wagner would hardly have a
chance to be more than prominent in the
race With him fit and playing regularly
they have a good chance. A player
of Wagner's ability makes great diff
ference in ball team. and it is needless
to say that Pittsburgh cannot boast of a
player who can take his place.
Notwithstanding the fact that the six
teen major league clubs took south with
them this spring hundreds of recruits, it
is surprising how few changes there are
in the line-ups of these teams as an
nounced for the opening game. Here and
there a name appears with which the
fans are not familiar, but on the whole

American League says:
"Everything points to pros
perity and success for us this

strengthened itself In the public's
estimation by it's victories In the
ante-season games with Nation
nj League clubs. The Boston,
Washington, st. Louis and New
York clubs particularly added
to our prestige I'm this way. The
debut Of Frank Chance In the
league is another matter for re-
jOlcing. Several Of our teams are
remarkably matched and neck

interest maintained to the end.
Every club has recruited young
players who bid fair to add an
element Of uncertainty TO the

TRENTON FAIR GROUNDS
GREATLY IMPROVED.

Visitors to the 1918 Trenton Inter
state Fair will find great improve
ments in the arrangements on the
grounds and in the trolley accommodate
tions. Instead of entering the Fair
grounds east of Bromley Inn, as was
the case in years past. the trolley cars
will now run up opposite the grand
stand over tracks that have been re-
Gently laid west of Bromley Inn. This
lands the passengers almost in the
heart of the Fair instead of several
hundreds of yards away. as in other
years.
The Interstate Fair association had
enlarged the grounds by taking in all
that land between the old entrance
gates at the former trolley car termi-
nus and the main road. This space
will all be devoted to automobile park
ing purposes and will give the Fair the
best parking accommodations of any
fair in the country.
The space formerly used for automo-
bile parking has been added to the
Midway and will be the scene of sew
eral large animal shows that could not
be placed under the old conditions.
