BY FRANK &. MENKE.

NEW YORK. April I3.-Calmly de-
fying the IL hoodoo the Federal
leaguers today pried the lid off the
1914 baseball season with a game in
Baltimore between the aggregation
representing that city and the one
that makes Buffalo its home.
Early indications were that every

tim0re has gone crazy over the advent
of the Federal league. and for more
than two months, the fans OF the cit,
have looked forward TO this day OF
days. From the mayor down to the
muddiest looking street urchin, Balu-
more is happy that at last il viii have
representation in a major league.
And this, too was the day of days
for those men who have backed tho
Federal league with huge bank rolls.
who have given a large portion OF
their time during the past six months
TO making the league a success, and
who have fought a hard but winning
fight against their formidable enemy.
organized baseball.
This. too, was the day that brought
about the utter discrediting OF the or
gained baseball Projectors who have
been telling the public for several
months that the Federals are a joke
organization, and that you can bet
all you've got that they won't open
the season"
The outpOuring of fans for tOday's
game at Baltimore upset another or
ganiZed prediction. 1t has been free
~ predicted for many months by the
o. b. persons that Baltimore was "a
dead town." that it could hardly sup

and that not more than zoo or 500
persons will turn out for the open
ing game" Baltimore, il seemed
from today's enthusiasm over the Fed

Others Open Tuesday.

The only Federal league game to-
day was at Baltimore. Brooklyn and
Pittsburg, the other two clubs in the
eastern portion Of the circuit. Will
open their season tomorrow at Pitts
burg. where another big outpouring
of fans is expected. Pittsburgh, de
spite its fondness for Barney Drey-
fuss Pirates. thinks pretty well OF its
Federal league club, and the fans
promise TO turn out in great style 10
greet the invaders.
Buffalo and Baltimore will not play
on the 14th. but will stage the second
game Of their series on the 18th in
Baltimore. Brooklyn and Pittsburgh
also will play on the 18th.
The western clubs OF the Federal
league delayed their opening until the
18th. when Joe Tinker's Chicago
team meets the Kansas City squad in
that city. and the Indianapolis aggre-
cation clashes with Miner Browns St.
Louis club in the Missouri city. In
both st. Louis and Kansas City the
fans are prepared TO give a big and
rousing welcome to the new leaguers.
and in both cities il seems just now
as if the stands will be packed for
the opening cOmbats.
The Chicago Federal league stands
are completed and take rank with the
finest steel and concrete stadiums in
the country. The st. Louis stands
also are finished and are almost equal

Pact in the Way of a New
Convention.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Jan. 29.-Negotiations be-
tween the United States and Russia FOR
new treaty to take the place Of the treaty
OF 1892. the abrogation OF which became
effective January I, 1918. will be attended
bv much embarrassment 10 the admins
tration because OF a plank in the Demo-
cratic national platform, II Is pointed out
by those familiar with the situation.
The treaty Of 1892 was abrogated be-
cause OF discrimination against Jews ~
Russia. Referring 10 the abrogation the
Democratic platform said:
I'VE commend the patriotism OF the
Democratic members OF the Senate ana
the House OF Representatives which COM
PEELED the termination OF the Russian
treaty Of 1882, and we pledge ourselves
anew TO preserve the sacred rights OF
American citizenship at home and abroad.
No treaty should receive the sanction OF
our government which does not recognize
the equality OF all our citizens, irrespec-
tive OF race or creed, and which does not
expressly guarantee the fundamenta!
right of expiration
President Wilson admitted to-day that
Ambassador Pindell would leave for St
Petersburg without any instructions on
the subject. Secretary Bryan and the
Russian Ambassador undertook last April
to begin negotiations, but the views OF the
governments we're so dramatically OPP
posed that hope Of an amicable agreement
at that time was soon abandoned.
