BALTIMORE FANS IN
THEIR GLORY TODAY
Opening of Federal League Sea-
son Occasion for Hall
Holiday.
FEDERAL LEAGUE
Today.
Buffalo at Baltimore.
Tomorrow.
Brooklyn at Pittsburg.
Thursday.
Chicago at Kansas City.
indianapolis at st. Louis


With Buffalo playing at Baltimore
today, the new Federal League VIII
be officially launched. According to
reports from the Monumental City
more than twenty five thousand fans
are expected to see the game. 1t was
claimed on Saturday that twenty
three thousand tickets had been so d
to various roofing clubs and athletic
organizations. as well as fans who
have been enthusiastic over the inva-
sion of the new league in Baltimore
On paper the Baltimore team looks
better than any other in the circuit,
according to most of the experts, and
for that reason the Terrapins, as
they are called, have been picked to
capture the title. The unique method
of prying off the lid on three different
days, as shown in the accompanying
opening schedule, is a novel adVertis-
ing stunt. The National and Ameri-
can League seasons will not be start
ed until tomorrow-so the Feds have
the calcium all to themselves today.
The Federal League, with its nu-
merous recruits from the ranks of the
National and American leagues, will
open a season which its officials hone
will result in a Vindication of its
claim to rank as n third major league
of baseball. Baltimore and Buffa o,
which for many years have been rep
resented only by teams in the Inter-
national League, will play the first
game in the contest for the champion
ship of the new big" league.
By act of the State Legislature to-
day will be a ha,f-holiday in Balti-
more and indications are that the
crowd will tax the capacity of Terra
pin Park. Mayor James II. Preston
of Baltimore, will put the hah in play
and Mayor Louis Fuhrmann. o. 3yf"

are Governor Goldsborough, of Mary
and President James A. Gilmore, of
the Federal League; Charles Weegh-

annapolis Club, and other Federal
League officials. The Baltimore sub

Gilmore on for Baltimore.

Pres dent James A. @ lmore, OF the
Federal League, departed last night
for Baltimore, where he will witness
today the opening of the independ-
ent circuit. Gilmore stated just be-
fore his departure that he did not
believe organized baseball would take
any steps to enjoin Earl Hamilton
or Tom Seaton from playing in his
circuit
with reference to these men," said
Gilmore. 1--WE are In identically the
same position as was the Philadel-
phia Nat 'onals in regard TO Catcher
William Killifer."
However, there are rumblings from
the throne Of organized baseball that
would indicate immediate action
from both big leagues In regard to
these players.
Pres dent w. r.. Baker. of the Phil
lies, declared last night that the XII
lifer dec's on made absolutely no If
ference to his plans about retrieving
the arch deserter, Seaton. Mr.. Baker
would not further discuss the Seaton
case. He said the ma tier was entire
ly In the hands Of Attorney Pepper.

Incr easing Shop Force.

AT several places along the Baltimore
and OHIO Railroad the shop men are be-
my called back to work. There is not
much activity in the shops in this secuon,
but elsewhere the men are making
fairly good time However, he men are
hoping that it will not be long until they
are asked to resume their duties. A re
port from Cumberland says:
The men at the local BaltImore and
Ohio shops-those who were fnrloughed
month ago-are gradually getting bl K
TO work. Several men who were LAID
off are called to work nearly every day
now. The fact seems 10 be that there
is more work accommodating than can be
handled with the reduced force. The com
panv is probably anxious to keep ex-
penditures dawn to the minimum al this
time but it is imperative that sufficient
engines be kept in good working order,
and this cannot be done with the force
reduced as it was.
When the retrenchment policy is over
the men predict, that there will be
rush of work for machlnisls and helpers
to catch up with the jobs that have been
, held back for later fixing. There Is a
general feeling among the men that il the
freight rate question were settled and
the railroads were allowed the slight i'm
crease that they have requested. shop
work and other Improvements would gc
on sufficiently to make every railroad
| man busy.
