GREAT CROWD TO
SEE FIRST GAME
Estimated That 10000 Per-
sons Will Watch Opening
in New York Today.
GRIFF WILL PROTEST
TO BAN JOHNSON
Is Not Going to Allow Connie
Mack to Send Egan
to Baltimore.
BY J. ED GRILLo.

Special Dispatch to The STAR
NEW YORK. April 11.-Under perfect
weather conditions 10000 people are en-
pected to be at the Polo Grounds this
afternoon to witness the opening of the
American League season. 1t is the most
suspicious Inauguration that the Ameri-
can League has ever enjoyed here. All
New York is on edge over the opening
and Frank Chance. The day is beauti-
full and while the field may be a tr,fe
soft, it should not interfere with the play.
Manager Griffith said this morning tina.
if his team played to form while here it
should win every one of the games from
the locals A clean sweep here. he said,
would make up for the idleness the team
has been forced to endure. 1t is not un-
likely that Walter Johnson will be work.
ed today. Griffith does not propose to
make definite announcement until he has
a chance to see his pitchers warm up. 1t
will be between Groom and johnson, that
is certain.
IL Chances team can make any sort of
a respectable showing here this year
there is a good chance of the Americans
becoming every bit as popular as the
Giants. Chance is already in fair way
of becoming a great rival to McGraw in
the matter of popularity, but, of course,
he must develop a winner If he expects
to become an idol here.
GriHth's team is in good shape. He
does not believe that it has suffered in
the least by reason of it's layoff during
the rainy spell and that it will play in it's
best form in the games here.
A, report from Baltimore this morning
is to the effect that Connie Mack has
sent Catcher Egan to Jack Dunn's club
Griffith says that he has never waived
on Egan and that If the story is true that
the catcher has been sent to Baltimore.
he will protest to Ban Johnson at once. Il
do not propose to let Egan get out of the
league. ! can use him and he cannot be
disposed of without my consent" said
Griffith
Griffith also announced that he would
carry Jim Shaw, the Pittsburgh recruit.
throughout the season. He says that he
has seen enough to convince him that
Shaw will make a pitcher, and while he
may not get into a regular game this
season, he wants him around SO that he
can be developed. Shaw, Gedeon. r.
Williams and Egan are the only ones of
the Nationals who have been left at
home.

Gliding factor in yesterdays game, Chi

the ninth. Chicago hitting him for four

covered what appeared to be promising
recruit yesterday when Johnson, an In
dian pitcher, held ST. Louis to three
scattered hits and the locals won for the
first time this saeson, ) to a.
Johnson allowed only three bases on
balls. On the other hand, Perritt, the St
Louis pitcher, was hit hard. as we'll as
being wild. Hunt succeeded him after
three innings of play and was effective
although somewhat wild.
Cincinnati scored two runs in the sec
ond inning. Esan tripled and Grant
walked. Both scored. when in an effort
to prevent a double steal Wingo and
Cakes made wild throws.
In the following inning four singles. a
base on balls and n balk added three
more runs to the Cincinnati list The

WAGNER TO UNDERGO
ANOTHER OPERATION
Pirate SIugger Is Bothered
Again by His Sore
Knee.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. April 17-Manager
Fred Clarke of the Pirates went to
Youngstown, Ohio. last night with Hans
Wagner, who must undergo another oper-
alton on his sore knee.
This means that the Dutchman will not
play in the opening game here today,
nor is it likely he will be seen for another
week at least.
The Gripping of Wagner is discourage
ing to Clarke. The mighty Hans is need
ed to steady the infield and to clout out
timely hits. Wagner was very lame yes
terday and was unable to continue prac-
ticing. He 1imped about the short field,
but soon quit.
The possibility of the permanent re-
tirement of Wagner has the Pittsburgh
fans just about as badly worried as it has
Clarke. The operation today may fix him
up temporarily, but it is feared the Fly
ing Dutchman will never be able to get
wholly rid of the bad knee.
