for the Regulars, the Cleveland team
Will open the season of 1913 in Pen
sacola next Sunday afternoon, at 3
O'Clock, at the Maxent park.
The name Yanigans came whence
none knows and is supposed to be
Choctaw esperanto for "greenhorns" or
cubs or "striplings" or ''babes" or
hope to-lands.'
To even things up some of the Reg
ulars," or "old men," are lined up with
the Yanigans. and vice versa, so there
will be a real game. However, the
batteries don't indicate that there will
be any limit on things, for Gregg has
already pitched Cleveland to many
worthy victories and Blanding is a
slab artist with the highest sort of
rating in Spaulding's blue book Of the
most worshipful crew.
So Sundays game viii doubtless be
attended with speed, class and eclat-
the latter meaning whoop-la and wild
enthusiasm.

San Francisco, March 5.-Duffy
Lewis is a hold-out. He thinks that
his assistance in bringing world
championship to the Boston Red Sox
last year is worth more than the con-
tract rendered him calls for, and de-
clares that he positively will not ac-
cept, nor will he report for training
at Hot Springs. He is quite deter
mined about it.
Instead, he is said to have signed to
coach the baseball team at Leland
Stanford University and declares HIM
self quite satisfied with his lot.
Duffy may hearken to the swat of
the big league bat, however, despite his
announcement. A big league salary,
ard g. worlds champions salary. at
that, is much more attra ctive than that
of a college baseball coach. It's a fair
bet that Duffy will be cavorting around
the Red Sox outer garden in the open
ing Of the American league season.
