National League
New York.

The National League pennant win
ners of last season present virtually
the same lineup as year ago. With
the exception of Herzog, now manag-
ing Cincinnati, and Shafer, who refus-
I'D to return to the game, the Giants
will enter the 1914 race with the iden-
tical lineup that faced the Athletics
in the worlds series last autumn.
Manager MeGraw is inclined to the
belief that he can fill the gap at third
satisfactorily despite Skaters defec-
ton. If such proves to be the case
the New York club will be as strong,
If not stronger, than was the case
twelve months ago.
In Mathewson, Demaree, Vanguard,
Tesreau and Fromme the Giants have
a string of clever experienced twirl
ers with several promising recruits
in reserve. To hold up the younger
members Of the staff will be the work
marked out fer catchers Meyers and
Mclean. When either of this pair is
combined with Mathewson, Marquard
or Tesreau there is a formidable bat
terry formed which has a decided ad-
vantage over the average National
League batter.
Backing up this battery material is
an infield and outfield which is eff
fective and at times brilliant. At
present the left side of the diamond
is weaker than the right, due to the
loss of Herzog at third Neither Snod-
grass nor Stock has shown the ability
to play up to the standard set by
Herzog or Shafer. A weak spot at
third will have q tendency to slow up
Fletcher, Doyle and Merkle and Nc
Graw will have to develop a satisfac-
tory player to round out the ccmbin-
alton.
The outfeld on the other hand has
been strengthened by the acquisition
of Bescher from Cincinnati. With
Burns and Murray fianking the former
Redland star the Giants are we'll
equipped in this department. Several
fast substitutes are also available, in
Guiding Thorpe, and McGraw has no
reason to worry about any position
ION the team if he can solve the third
base problem.
Philadelphia.
Shot almost to pieces in the raids of
the Federal League, the Philadelphia
National League team has reformed
its lines and will make a determined
effort to show we'll in the pennant race
IN the senior organization. Having
lost Knabe and Doolan, two important
lntield men; Brennan and Seaton, de-
pendable pitchers, and with the posi-
ility of not having the service of
Killifer, the Phillies enter the pennant
race much below last years strength,
when they gave the New York Giants
a battle for first place.
Manager Doom, through a fortunate
trade last season, mas Bobby Byrne,
a seasoned player to fill Knabes place
and is using Ireland and Murphy,

American Bark Is
Found Between Bars

Highland Light. Mass. April ID
The American bark Matanzas was dis
covered between the outer and inner
Peaked Hill bars at dawn today and
tug from which she had apparently
broken adrift during last nights gale,
was lying off shore. About the same
time an unknown barge was sighted
close to the beach near the Pamet
River life saving station.
Life savers patrolled the beach OPP
posite both vessels but the gale was
too severe TO permit the launching of
surfboat during the morning.
1t was believed that the barge would
ride out the gale rs the wind was mod
Grating and working TO the westward
but the position of the bark, with the
gale blowing directly on the beach, was
regarded as preearious.
The Matanzas left Boston in ballast
yesterday for Philadelphia in tow of
the tug John G.. Chandler.
A wireless despatch vas sent to the
revenue cutter Gresham at Boston and
she was expected to reach the bark
about noon.

American League
Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Americans will
enter the campaign standing pat on
the team that won the championship
of the world for the Quaker City in
1913. Like John McGraw in the Ma
tional League, Connie Mack probably
has fewer troubles regarding the per-
sonnet of his team than any other
manager in the American League. AS
is his rule, the silent leader Of the
Athletics is not predicting that his
champions will again finish in front
this year. but the supporters of the
club expect to see, barring accidents,
the team in another worlds series in
October
TIL only thing that is giving the
club manager any real concern is the
pitching department. Last year when
the veteran moundsmen were show
ing only fair form, the team had
hard time keeping in front in the race.
There were frequent changes of young
pitchers. and many games were saved
by relieving the twirlers as soon as
they showed signs Of weakening.
This year Bender and Plank will
again be the mainstays of the pitch
ing corps. Mack is not relying on
Coombs who is still in the convalescent
stage from his long illness, but is de-
pending much upon Bush, Shawkey
anG Brown. Ira Thomas. the new
captain of the Athletics, is ambitious
to be the leader Of champion team
and he expects to keep the players ION
their toes right through the season.

New York. April 13.-Granted favor
able weather conditions the sixteen
CLUBS composing the National and
American Leagues will open the 1914
baseball season tomorrow afternoon.
THE familiar slogan PLAY Ball. will
ring out around the circuit and another
six months of Americas national
sport inaugurated. With hardly break
the clubs will struggle for supremacy
in the two leagues and the climax
will come with the playing of the
worlds series in October between the
pennant winning clubs of the two or
4 Limitations.
The present season will mark the
thirty ninth year of play in the Ma
tional League and the fourteenth in
the American League. National
League history dates back to the
spring of 1876 and during the ensuing
years, thirty-eight pennants have been
won by the eight clubs. Chicago
leads with ten championships to it's
credit: Boston Is second with eight,
and New York third with seven. Pitts
burgh accounted for four, Brooklyn
three, Baltimore three, Providence,
two and Detroit one. Since the open
ing year OF the american League play
in 1900 fourteen championships have
been won, of which the Philadelphia
club secured five. Boston three, Chi
cago three and Detroit three.
During the past winter many
changes have occurred in the ranks
of the major league. The Federal
League secured from the older organ
izations a number of veterans and
promising recruit players in it's eff
forts to establish itself as a con-
tender for baseball patronage. Sew
eral sensational trades and the APP
pointment of new managers also
caused decided changes in the COM
s5inations of various clubs. The Ma
tional League was particularly active
in this respect. the changes beginning
with the selection of new president
in the person of John K. Tener and
extending down through the ranks of
owners, managers and players. Thus
on the eve of another season the
various clubs face the pennant cam
paigns in the following condition:

The Death of Collin

Oh, Paddy dear, and did you
hear
The news that's goin' round?
There'll be no tournament today
On Prestwick Collin ground.
Sir Basil will not tee the ball
Against Home Rules cham
peen,
Who swore there'd soon be Par
li'mint
On the Dublin College green.
They argued loud and argued
long,
And nearly came to blows;
So now each fierce debater has
A badly twisted nose!
That same is true Of ell of them,
For each is full Of spleen;
An sure, Home Rule has been
the death
o. the Collin on the green!

Through a congenital defect jim
my Clancy walked on the sides of his
feet; but having never known the ad
vantages of straight legs, just as he
had never known eider-down COM
forters or a bath-tub-both of which
ara things of habit-he got along
very cheerfully. For physical agility
ne substituted mental rapidity and a
crooked, shrewd little smile.
"Extryr' he would cry. "Forty-o"e
dagos blown II pieces eatin' dyna-
mite in their spaghetti" or Terrible
traction northumberland swal-
lowed his quid of tobacco
But for couple of months jim
my's invention had failed. He still
sat on the fire-plug at the entrance
to the roller-skating hall over the
market, but he rarely smiled. He
was scarcely curious when one day
the whir and roar of the skates over
his head, and the monotonous throb
of the band, gave way to quiet and
decorum. 1t was only when Hop
Jenkins, a one-legged bootblack, was
attracted by the admission free
card and paid the exhibit upstairs a
call, that Jimmy was reused to in
terest.
"Y' oughter go up" Hop reported
There's a nurse up there, and she
showed me around. It's how to cure
sick folks-all about sleepin' with
yer head out the winder, and not

cav, gwan" Jimmy had respond
ed. What you goin' to do if you
don't spit ?"
After which retort he shuffled
home; but he was turning over in his
mind, specifically, what he had just
heard. AS he reached the landing of
the tenement he could hear a persist
ent cough from down the dirty hall,
and he drew long breath. Near at
hand Mrs. Simmons voice rose above
the kissing of her fried potatoes and
stabbed his soul.
al don't know who'll take the
boy" she said, land him crippled.
He's good boy, too, Jimmy is. If
didn't have so many"
"Old FOOL" the boy muttered saw
agely; and to fill an interval when
his voice got in his throat and stran-
gled him, he dug a piece of plaster
from the broken wall and fired it at
the Simmons cat. Then he went on.
Jimmy ate his supper from a plate
on his lap. The whir of the heavy,
old-fashioned sewing machine seem
ed to fill the little room, and in the
