New York, April 17-The New York
Americans opened their season here to-
day under ideal weather conditions, but
played poor ball and lost to washington,
9 to 3, before a large crowd that had
turned out to greet the team under its
new manager, Frank Chance.
Groom pitched fine game holding the
New Yorks to four hits. Mcconnell for
the locals did we'll up to the sixth inning
when two singles through the box by
Foster and Gandil gave the visitors three
runs and the lead. Schulz, a young left
handler, pitched the ninth inning for New
York, and the visitors batted him at WILL
The Washingtons were steady behind
Groom, while the locals fielding was wob-
bly,. 1t was tumble by Hartzelle which
led up to McConnell's upset in the sixth
A one handed catch by Shanks of d hard
line drive by Hal Chase was the fielding
feature.
Before the game Manager Chance was
presented with a set of resolutions en-
crossed upon the face of floral ball 10

Chicago, April 17.--Approximately $4,000
fans greeted the opening of the American
league baseball season here and saw Chi
cago defeat Cleveland, 2 to |. The game
was pitchers battle between Scott and
Mitchell. The former allowed the visitors
but three hits, which were we'll scattered,
while Mitchell was touched for two, which
came in one inning, coupled with base
ON balls and two errors. Cleveland lost a
grand opportunity of tying the score in
the seventh. Poor base running on the
part of Chapman, who opened with a
long hit, probably more than anything else
cost the visitors the game. His hit was
a long drive to left. which was a sure
two base hit, but he failed to touch first
base and the ball was relayed to the In
field and the runner was called out

Details Being Completed


One week from today the potlatch
festival will be in full swing, it be-
ing the day of the mammoth day pa
rade, entitled Birmingham on Wheels
and of the big Indian ceremony at East

at the State Fair grounds are about
complete, the prizes for the day parade
and the route has been announced, de-
tails of the Indian ceremony and ball
at East Lake have been completed and
with the exception of few minor fea-
lures yet to be arranged, the big festi-
val in celebration of the citys pros
perity is ready to be opened.
Voting in the two potlatch contests
for wampum belts lined with $240 in
gold has been going on with more spirit
in the last few days, indications being
that the decision will be close between
the competing organizations. The wam-
pun belts will be awarded by the chief
and princess OF the festival at East
Lake on the last night. The parades
will form on Avenue + on the South
side but their exact route remains In
definite until further assurances can

Interest in South

Mr.. Pages interest in the regeneration
of the south, both physical and intel
lectual, has never waned, and when he
was a very young man he started little
paper in his native state, North Carolina,
at Raleigh. in which he advocated all the
things that have marked the programme
of progress in the south in all the sub
sequent years. Better farming, rotation
of crops, manufacturing industries, good
roads, good schools and all those things
which are now being pushed rapidly by
the progressive citizens of the southern
states.
While Mr. Page is distinctly an Amer
lean and his interest has broadened until
IL takes in the whole country, neverthe-
less the south is the nearest to him, and
in the new British ambassador the south
has one of its warmest friends.

Panama Question
NJ c. n. STEWART

Washington, April 17.-(Special.) )-When
Walter Hines Page, the editor of World $
Work. was announced as the man who
would represent this government at the
court of St james, the wise ones in Wash
ington were givep somewhat of shock.
Not that Mr.. Page will not do credit to
himself and his country, and in every re-
spect measures up to the full require
ments of the difficult and important posi-
ton to which he has been appointed, but,
because William J. Bryan is the Secre-
tary of State, and the ambassador to
Great Britain serves under that depart
ment, and Mr.. Page, never in his ca
reer. could have been counted among the
enthusiastic admirers of President Will
sons premier.
II was simply another one of the many
puzzles of the administration. and another
straw that points toward the entirely new
trend in American politics inaugurated by
the President which seeks the end of ef-
1iciency in the public service, rather than
bestowing rewards supposed to be due to
party workers.
Mr.. Houses Fine Hand
The gossips Immediately got together
and concluded that the astute MIR. House
of Texas had put over another /" Mr..
House being credited with being the clos
est personal friend of the President, and
incidentally purely a private citizen. Ac-
cording to the same uthority-gossp--
several members of the cabinet owe their
appointments to the same Mr.. House.
The appointment of Mr.. Page, and his
acceptance, will serve to test the widely
discussed theory that il will be impossible
for poor man to long remain as the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-04-18
Panama Question in Foreground

Right now the Panama canal question is
in the foreground, and in all probability
it will be the very first problem of any
especial consequence that Mr. Page will
have to contend with, He is not the man
to hunt trouble. but those who know him
best say that the more there is to be
done the better he will like his job.
He has always been hard worker His
family have always found it a hard job
to convince him that he ought to take a
vacation. About four years ago he was
persuaded to 90 abroad for trip of
recreation and rest. 1t was to be purely
a pleasure trip. but before 1t was we'll un-
der way Mr.. Page had turned it into an
investigation of European social condi-
tions, politics and agriculture.
Mr.. Page is fond of agriculture. Get
ting folks back to the land is one of the
movements in which Mr.. Page has taken
a great interest for many years, and he
says that it is normal to go to the coun-
try and not normal TO live in the city. He
says that it is very difficultsto start most
persons away from the city to the coun
try. but he has devoted a great deal of
his editorial life to forwarding the move
ment for all kinds of men and women.
Mr. Page himself was just about to start
as a practical farmer when the appoint
ment to the ambassadorship overlook him
and made it necessary to postpone his ag-
rieultural career. Mr.. Page may make
a great amba ssador, but 1t will be at the
loss of good farmer. Just recently he
has acquired farm of about 1000 acres
in North Carolina, which he had intended
to superintend in person when it has been
sufficiently cleared. As it is two of his
sons have taken up agricultural life in
North Carolina.

No Continuity of Service

Our system of. diplomatic service is en-
tirely different from that of any of the
other great powers There is no contln-
suity in our service, as there is in most
cases With other countries An ambassa-
dor from the European countries to the
United States hats, as a usual thing, long
been accustomed TO the intricate ways of
diplomacy through years of training. Not
SO with us. With each enange in the ad-
ministration, especially if there is
change in political complexion, there
comes a change in our foreign ambassa-
dors, and in most cases the ambassador
selected has had no previous experience
in diplomacy. a lawyer, or an editor, or
business man is suddenly taken away
from his profession and SET TO match his
wits against a trained opponent. To hold
his own he must not only be possessed of
uncommon ability, but he must be man
of unusual force and tact.
Mr.. Page is all this and more claim his
friends. His training and experience and
the success he has had, they declare, JUS
tify the expectation that he will handle
himself and any great question which may
fall to his lot to the entire satisfaction of

From Tho Tribune bureau.

Washington. March 17.-Senator Root

government into closer relation by asking
to have printed as a public document
two reports by Senator George II. Pen
dleton, Of Ohio-one made In the House
and the other I'm the Senatc-advocatinG
seats for the Cabinet In each chamber.
When Congress convenes Mr.. Root will
urge consideration OF this matter. he
holds that the two branches Of the gov
eminent are like a team of badly matched
horses-one trotting and one galloping-
and that she progress Of legislation is
much impeded by their failure TO work In
unison. lie hopes that if the House and
Senate will not go 10 the extent of giving
Cabinet officers seats they will at least
provide some way by which the Cabinet
can appear directly before the legislators.
