LAUREL CLUB READY.
Has Good Team and Opens Season
With Relay Boys.

LAUREL. Md, April 5.-The Laurel
base ball club Of Laurel. Md, promises
to have one of the best clubs in the
state this season and will open the
season here Saturday, April 49, Mayor
George w. Waters. jr., will be asked
to be present and toss out the ball for
the opening. The first opponents this
season will be the Relay club Of Re-
lay, Md. one of the teams in the Sub
urban League. Besides the regular
players Of last season several new
players have been added, and will be
seen in Laurel uniform. Leonard
Stockman. who was chosen manager
for the club, expects to play in near
ly every game, and will greatly assist
the captain during a game. The
players will get down to practice this
week, and later the field captain will
be chosen by the players. The club
will probably lose the service of Scott,
their first sacker, who has accepted
position in Washington, although his
place will be covered by Harding, the
tall first sacker Of the Highland Club
OF Howard county. and who is feared
by all pitchers on account of his heavy
batting. Buster Souder" who did
such effective work on the mound for
the home club in the past three sea-
sons. and who has had offers to go
with teams in the Southern and New
England leagues, will again wear a
Laurel uniform. and is eager for the
opening of the season here.

mingham's team Thursday afternoon
In Cleveland in the opening game Of
another base ball season they will be
primed and In shape for the toughest
kind of battles, and unless unlucky
should get off to a good start.
ciflc coast was a success, and no team
in the league has done more primary
work nor had better training condi-
tons than that of Comiskey. One
cannot think of reason why the Sox
should not be a stronger team than
last year 1T is certain the players are
in almost perfect physical trim and
one need not be surprised If the Chi
cago boys get away in front as they
did a year ago.
However. it seems that the white
Sox" are the dark horse" Of the race
this year They have great possibili-
ties. but one will not be surprised IL
they land just about as they did In
1912, fourth, after desperate
struggle.
Quite few things would have to hap
pen to give Comiskey and Callahan
pennant this season. The White SoX don't
look as strong as Boston or as the Ath-
letics or as Washington. They do not
look as good as Cleveland but look bet
ter than New York. St Louis or Detroit
Boston would not be such a sure thing
il Joe Wood should fall down or Speaker
be out of 1t for a time. The Athletics
will be easy to beat if Bender and
Coombs begin going back, and Washing
ton will hardly figure as a contender IL
some other pitcher does not come to the
aid Of Walter Johnson, or If Catcher
Henry Is out of the game because Of his
to happen, and then the White Sox would
have to have better pitching than last
year before they could drag through
long season and come out on top.

of the fans here believe Manager sto-
vail will be able to land his Browns in
a higher position this season than since
1908. They give as their reasons for
thinking this way that not only is Sto-
vail hustler. but he has a great pitch
ing staff. Carl Weilman. the tall south
paw. who showed SO we'll at the close Of
last season. is expected to prove the star
of the hurting staff this year Next in
line comes George Baumgardner, who has
wonderful speed. Then there Is Earl
Hamilton, a mighty clever little south
paw; Mack Allison. good Highlander.
and Adams tall Highlander. who may
prove good. Stovall has a few other re-
cruit pitchers who may surprise the
knowing ones. Stovall believes he has
a wonder in Sam Agnew, the new catch
err from Vernon. Cal. A fine batsman and
base runner as well as good thrower.
Stovall says Agnew will be the first
string catcher this season, and adds he
must think a great deal Of Agnew to play
him ahead Of Alexander. the youngster
who showed SO well In the latter half OF
last season.
The Browns weak spot is at third base.
where Jimmy Austin will hold forth.
Jimmy will be kept on the team because
OF his hustling spirit. Stovall has not
made up his outfield. Just now he Is
playing Shotton In center field, Gus Will
Hams In right and Jack Johnston IN left.
Johnston Is a recruit from Montgomery,
Southern Association team. He Is good
fielder, but has not done much at bat.
Other players whom Stovall will try out
are Maisel from Harrisburg, Pete Comp
ton, Yale; Sloan from Bristol. Tenn and
Ernest Walker from Montgomery, South
ern League. Wallace and Walsh Will
play short. Stovall stays>at first, with

Grueling Work Had Very Fatiguing
Effect on Several of
the Players.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ANNAPOLIS. Md. April Sin the most
etubbornly contested and exciting game
OF lacrosse that has been witnessed at
Annapolis since that sport was intro
duced In the Naval Academy several
years ago. the team Of Lehigh Univer-
sity won from the Midshipmen here this
afternoon by the narrow margin Of one
point, the final count being 4 to 3.
The teams were evenly matched both in
weight and general knowledge of the
game. and a better idea Of the closeness
Of the struggle may be gained from the
fact that 1t required two extra periods OF
ten minutes each, in addition to the reg
ular halves Of twenty minutes to decide
the victors. that the actual playing
time was a whole hour. And that the
grueling work had a very fatiguing effect
on several Of the players was plainly
evident after Speed shot the winning goal
for Lefigh and final time was called.
The rival players made things lively
from the start to- the final whistle and
the battle was nip and tuck all the way.
The Middies. hitherto unbeaten this sea-
son, and holding a measure of confidence
that they would be able to finish their
schedule without a score on the wrong
side of the ledger, soon found that the
lads from South Bethlehem was worthy

New York Aggregation Appears to
Have Some Glass.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK, April 5.-Although they
were defeated in the first real test that
they have been put to under the manage
ment of Frank Chance this afternoon. the
Yankees showed themselves to be much
superior ball team to what they were
last year Two teams probably never
played snapper base ball SO early in the
season as the New Yorks and Brooklyns
did today. The Dodgers won simply be-
cause they got practically all of the
breaks in the game.
This statement is not made with the
intention OF detracting in the least from
the credit that is due Brooklyn. Dahlen' 8
players played fine base ball, but Dame
Fortune certainly did smile upon Stengel
and Daubert when they made their home
runs, respectively, in the fifth and sixth
innings.
In both instances it was case of poor
Judgment on the part of Harry Wolter,
the Highlanders' center fielder. Neither
of the hits should have been good for
more than two bases at the outside.
While they were both hits and neither
could have been turned into an out, still
had Wolter judged them accurately he
would have been able to block the ball
and keep it from rolling to the center
field fence.
1t is true that the Yankees were some
what disappointed at the outcome, put
they are not discouraged.
The speed which the club possesses was
a surprise to even its most ardent en-
thusiasts Chance showed that he has
attained that same fine condition which
marked his work when he was at his
best with the Chicago Cubs. Chance
ankle is SO strong that he will undoubted-
ly play In the opening game
There does not appear to be the slight
est question but that Ray Caldwell will
pitch the opening game for the Yankees
in Washington. He is in better condition
than any of the other pitchers. which Is
TO say that he has reached midseason
form already. He has a fine assortment
of curves, good control and his speed is
an asset worth while.
The team Will line up just as it did in
todays game. There is a possibility that
Chance may switch his batting order Der
ricks playing has been pretty much Of a
revelation. He is fast, fields well and has
a great throwing arm

CAL[AUDET'S RELAY
SHOULD Be STRONG
Three of Last Years Four
Will Be Members of
the Quartet.

While not much has been said in re-
gard to the doings of the track candi-
dates at Gallaudet. the men have not
by any means been idle. Capt. Farquhar
has sent his charges through daily work
outs ever since the latter part of last
month and they are now rounding into
form. 1t is the aim of the captain to de-
velop a quartet to send to the annual
track carnival at Philadelphia. Last
year and the one before the four did
well at the carnival taking second place
in each race Battiste. the Indian, upor
whom much was depended during his
four-year stay at Kendall Green, will
be greatly missed. There are ndications,
though. that the other three men who
made the quartet will run considerab bly,
better this spring. so that the difference
between them and the new man will
about equal that between them and the
Indian.
The above mentioned veterans are
Moore Ellsworth and Capt. Farquha1
himself. all of whom have been working
hard and trying to run down to marks
lower than those they made last year.
Each one has done SO well that it Is
practically impossible to find another
sprinter to replace him. The problem
now confronting the captain is the pick
ing out of the fourth man from the large
bunch of candidates. 1t will take some
time to make the selection. as several of
the new men cover the quarter distance
in pretty good time. At present Pat
terson seems to stand the best chance
of completing the relay.
At the Pennsylvania meet Gallaudet
u,i1l ha
appeared last year. Among her opponents
will be Maryland Agricultural College
and ST. Johns of Annapolis and Frank
lin Marshall. The last is a newcomer,
having run in a higher class in previous
years.

DETROIT, Mich, April 5.-Although no

to that effect, Manager Jennings has per-
mitted the impression to go forth that
his selection of battery for the opening
day, which this year is at st. Louis, will
be Mullin and Stanage.
big George" for a good many sea-
sons past has been the initial performer
on the mound for the Tigers. and as a
general thing Oscar Stanage has been the
backstop. Both men are in good form at
present and there is no reason to believe
that the usual program will not be ad-
hered to.
The matter of first baseman, which
has really been one of the hardest prob
lens Jennings has had to wrestle with
for the past two seasons is solved this
year by the triumphant return of Del
Gainor to the initial sack. Gainor has
shown no signs of distress. physical or
otherwise, during the training workout
and should give a good account of HIM
self.
While it is true that Tyrus Cobb has
not yet been officially proclaimed Tiger

the Georgian has reached an amicable
with President Navin over
the question of a few trifiing thousands

The balance of the lineup needs but
little comment. Sam Crawford. in right
field, is looking better than he has for
two years. while Veach promises well in
the opposite corner. Charlie Deal has
third base cinched just as tightly as Bill
Louden has the second sack, which is
saying all there is to be said. So far
as DOME Bush and the short stop job go,
there is not even chance for an argu-
