Cy Marshall and Sherwood Ma

house After Argument.

PHILADELPHIA. April IA fist
fight with bare knuckles between Capt
Sherwood Magee and Pitcher Cy Mar
shall. of the Phillies. .enlivened pro-
ceedings in the clubhouse of the team
yesterday. AS a result of the scrap
Magee got a black eye. but Marshall
was not seriously damaged. The affair
occurred in the main room of the club
house.
Marshall was engaged in n game of
pool with another player when MaGee
came out of the dressing room. Sher-
wood, who recently was appointed cap
tain of the team, ordered Marshall to
stop the game and go out and practice
baseball. Marshall resented Magee's re-
marks, and it is reported that the men
The argument became spirited and
finally punching began. Other players
rushed in and separated the combatants.
Marshall shortly afterward left the
clubhouse. and it is reported that he in
tended to quit the club. Business Man
ager Shettsline said. however. that this
rumor was untrue, and that Marshall
was willing to let matters remain as
they are. Marshall was not in uniform
in the afternoon. It was explained that
Off because the trouble occurred.
Manager Doom said Magee was right
in the argument. Sherwood was ap-
pointed. captain. of the team. and as
such was perfectly right in telling Mar
shall to go out and practice; / intend to
back up Magee in the matter" said the
manager.
Marshall had a good chance Of being
selected to pitch in the opening game
against the New York Giants today.
The indications now are that Manager
Doom will have to shift his program
and have Alexander pitch the first game

until the long race has been decided.
Are World Joyous.
Yes. all the world is happy today, but
perhaps the small boy is tine happiest.
He has killed thousands of aunts and
graDdmothers within the last few days
and receives his reward today in perch
ing upon seat of vantage and gazing
upon his heroes, the ball players. And
the murders will so on, down to the
very close of the season, the slaughter

as they always do, year after year.
Baseball means the outdoor life for
thousands upon thousands of men who
are kept indoors the rest of the year.
and so its opening today is greeted
with Joy.
The opening of the campaigns today
in the two major leagues have not been
eGualed in ten years or more. For the
first time since the American League
appeared upon the scene, there is war
upon the diamond. Just what will hap
pen before another season rolls around,
none can tell. Many teams now con-
tenders, may be torn and weakened
until no longer recognizable. Already
three or four have been ruined as pen
nant winners this season. Another year
may see more injured in the same Way
AS is customary, both Big league pres
ldents predict success for their organi-
cations. They point 10 the ever-grow-
ing popularity of the game, the in
creased interest in the STRENGTHENED
teams and the desire Of the whole land
10 get outdoors as much as possible.
The campaign starting today will con-
tinue until the middle of October. The
worlds series, in which the two pen
nant-winners meet for the greatest hon
or of the diamond. is expected to find
the Ihiladeluhia Athletics nuca ,o,o
battling with the New York Giants.
But there may be lnixups that will
keep one or both of these teams out
of the final grapple. If the veteran
pitchers of the Athletics, Flank and
Bender. fail in the long dry summer, il
is POSSIBLE that Washington or Boston
or Detroit or Chicago may slip across

DIPLOMAT USES WIRELESS

Washington, March II During
the recent severe storm which pre-
vailed throughout the east, it be-
came necessary to call to the aid of
diplomacy the wireless service, as
the telegraph wires were tied up.
The radio-telegraphic message was a
diplomatic dispatch sent from the
government naval station at Arling-
ton to the French station in the Elf
fel Tower, and relayed to London.
Sir Cecil SpringRice, the British
ambassador, appealed to Secretary
Daniels to ask that, if practical his
message to his government might be
transmitted 1T was a notification to
the British foreign Office that the
ambassador would not be able to
communicate with it by cable for a
few days.

MOON GOES INTO
AN ECLIPSE TONIGHT

The most important Astronomical
event OF the month will be the par
| tial eclipse of the moon, which will
occur this evening at 9:4 o'clock
The moon enters penumbra at "A |
p. m; that is at this time the
earth first interceptS some of the
sunlight from a part of the moon.
The amount of light cut off gradu
ally increases but the amount is so
small that nothing is noticed until
near the time when the moon enters
the shadow" at 9:4l p. m. At
this time the earth first intercepts
all of the light from a part of the
moon and prevents us from seeing
that part. The important part of
the eclipse begins at this time. More
and more of the moons surface is
thus eclipsed until the middle of the
eclipse is reached at l:13 p. m. At
this time the greatest amount, nine
tenths of the moons surface will be
hidden. About tenth of the south
western part will not be obscured.
The eclipse then begins to pass off
The moon leaves the shadow at
12:44 a. M. and leaves the penum
bra at / As a. m, ending the
eclipse.
The moon crosses the carth's
shadow in southeasterly direction
The eastern portion will be eclipsed
first. The eclipse can be seen wher-
ever the moon is visible; that is,
over about half of the earth. FIX
cluding a very small partial eclipse
OF the sun in August, this is the
only eclipse of the sun or moon vis-
ible here this year. The eclipse is of
no great Importance to astronomers.
An observer on the moon in the
shadow would sec a total eclipse of
the sun. Owing to the lack of am at
mosphere on the moon, however, the
eclipse would be more striking than
a similar one on the earth Our at
mosphere would cause the earth to
appear encircled by halo of gor-
geous golden and crimson light, and
the corona, promincnccs and zodia-
cal light would be far brighter than
ever we seen them. The tempera
ture on the moon would rapidly un-
dergo very great change, for there
is no atmosphere to store up the
suns heat.

LIBERALISTS MAY
APPEAL TO COUNTRY

London, Eng, March IA gen
eral election some time in May is
looked for by liberal election agents
throughout the country. 1t would be
an appeal to the country immediate
ly after the passage of the home rule
bill under the parliament act. 1t is
believed the cabinet will not consent
to the dismemberment of Ireland,
but will propose that education and
licensing remain under imperial con-
duct, as has been provided for the
police and postal facilities in the
Irish Home Rule bill. A board of
patronage will be provided for, as as
surance that all public appointments
will be made on merit and not on a
sectarian basis. Should the opposi-
tion reject these provisions of the
bill, the government will proceed
with the bill on it's present lines.
