The old familiar spiels will bc heard
again in the major league cities when
the greatest baseball show on earth
opens next week for the season
1914.
The big show is To be a three -rna

and National league magnates intl-
mate their belief that it will be the
same old two-ring exhibition with q

The baseball public seems inclined
To credit the Federal league with pos
scssing big league qualifications. The
new organization certainly has shown
itself to be a husky infant and the way
it was trundled over major league ter
ritory and tagged the major league
players has rather caught the fancy of
the fans.
With an utter disregard FOR the very
elements of superstituti0n the Fcdcra's
have decided To open their first season
ON the thirteenth day of the month.
