Snappy Double : Header
Starts the Season i'm
Full Swing.
COLD Trims CROWD
IN NEW STANDS
Calumet and knickerbocker
Mines Win Lively Games
Fish a New Recruit.
b. HAYWOOD BROUN.

Fifth avs baseball season began
yesterday with the opening Of the
Winter League in its renovated back
yard bowl. With the new additions
the grandstand is capable OF holding
at least thirty persons, and they were
there yesterday when the double
header began.
Warm was the game. but ,old was
the wind, and although .e excitement
kept up throughout, the crowd and the
temperature dropped.
In the lrst game the Calumet Club,
tailender last year, was defeated IN
nip-and-tuck game with the Racquet
and Tennis Club BY score OF Z to o.
In the latter half of the bill the OFF,
GERS of the 18th infantry won from the
Knickerbocker Club at 13 to 8.
A newcomer among the players was
Ha alton Fish, jr., who wore becom-
ingly a limp thich he gained recently
in the football game between the ALI
Stars and the Carlisle Indians. As
FRS. baseman he appeared every inch
an all-America tackle.
The Calumet Club had William Tilt,
once Of Columbia. as its boxman, and
seems to be much improved team
over last year. There is yet room for
the discipline of a George Stallings.
On one occasion, when a coacher was
censured for not bringing a runner
home, ne explained: IL did my best,
but he wouldn't 60"
The RACQUET Club was outslugged
BIZ Calumet's heavy hitters, Melllck,
Schultz and the rest, but its speed on
the bases brought victory. George
Wrenn made the most daring theft,
when he stole home while the first
baseman was rolling the ball back TO
the pitcher.
Calumet rallied strongly in the clos
ing innings and might have overcome
the Racquet Clubs lead but for a great
catch off the back fence By Coppeli.
Wrenn's third base play and the pitch
ing of A. Z. Fish, the sensational
southpaw of the Racquet Club, were
features.
In the second game Knickerbocker
was of in the lead and piled up five
runs in the first two innings. In the
fourth Lydg Hoyt weakened and the
soldiers pounded him for five runs.
There was no stopping the military
men from then on. Major Foster. who
entered the game at the eleventh hour,
was a worthy worker in the baseball
VINEYARD. The game was rough and
three players were forced to call for
time out.

This Mule a
Second Maud

Evidence has just come TO light that
a great catastrophe was averted last
Saturday when the Army met the Navy
at Franklin Field.
The Navy brought "A goat which was
described in one Of the songs as
raised on dynamite" and the middies
also expressed their ardent desire to
see this cxpIosively dieted animal meet
the Army mule In battle.
Now. there was no mule at Franklin
Field, and consequently no battle. But
there was an Army mule. just the
same-and such a mule. All day long
in his stall at West Point he kicked
and kicked. and every time he swung
his hOof another board gave way. The
mule was naturally bad, and when he
became the property of the Military
Academy the cadets set out to develop
his wickedness.
lie was taught that the goat was
his traditional enemy. and learned TO
give no quarter TO his horned foe.
More ugly and more ugly grew the
mule. but on the day before the game
the secret would out. The command
ant at West Point discovered his goat
killing propensities and gave orders
TINT he should be kept at home under
close guard. And the goat Of the
SAW still lives, and Maud has no
rival.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec 5.--Charles A.
Bender, the great Indian pitcher of the
Philadelphia Athletics, to-day signed
a Federal League contract and will
play with either Brooklyn or Balti-
more. The big chief is the second star

to play with the ST. Louis club.
Bender tonight confirmed the re-

of the Baltimore club, here to-day, and
lost no time in signing.
"The terms Of the contract are very
satisfactory, and it is the best thing |
ever did in my life" said the chief.
The contract is to run for two years.
Render said he knew others who were
going TO sign Federal League con-
tracts. but refused to disclose their
identity.

be so crowded as last springs, for one
less contest will be held, while the sea-

three days later. Five teams that were
met last spring have been dropped
from the list, probably because Of the
new arrangement with Yale and Har-
ward. They are Dickinson, Catholic

MACNATES HAVE
MANY PROBLEMS
International and National
League Owners Here for
Annual Meetings.
RUMORS OF TRADES
AND RE-TRADES
Every Manager Is Willing to
Strengthen His Cohorts, but
There's the Rule.

Waited here, perhaps, on the wings
of the trade winds, the baseball mag
mates are coming to town. The Inter
national League will convene to-mor-
row at the Hotel Imperial, and on
Tuesday the National League will as
semble at the Waldorf. Governor
Tener, Of the National League, and Ban
Johnson, the American League mogul,
have both declared for a quiet meet
ing, but that seems impossible in view
of the fact that Charles II. Ebbets
wants TO get $4,000 which he paid
August Hermann for the release of
Joe Tinker. In spite of all the wishes
of Tener and of Johnson, there will be
much noise unless Mr.. Ebbets gets that
money, and if he does there will be
noise from Mr.. Hermann. II will not
be a quiet meeting.
Charles Webb Murphy. who fell from
a height like Humpty Dumpty, but suf-
fered much less from the tumble, may
or may not attempt to come TO the
meeting. Governor Tener says that Mr..
Murphy has no place in the league. If
he comes he will be thrown out, and if
he doesn't he will probably be thrown
out anyway, as the expulsion OF Muir
ply has become an annual custom.
Peace with the Federal League seems
most remote contingency in the light
of developments during the last few
days. The magnates will meet and an
nounce that the Feds are on their last
legs, and then 20 into session again to
plan means of fighting ,them. The
question of longer worlds series will
be taken up, and there is reason 70 be-
lieve that a new scheme Of things may
be drawn up for submission to the
American League. Oh, yes, and by the
way. the pennant for the National
League race for 1914 will be formally
awarded to the Boston Braves, in or
der that any possible doubts on that
score may be settled.
As a rule, the magnates at a big
league meeting are less in the light
than the managers, for the meeting is
the annual mart for the buying and
selling of players. Charlie Herzog.
who has nothing to give and therefore
feels that he can't lose, will be the
m ost eager trader, Fred Clarke the
most reluctant. Fred traded baseball
team last year for an indifferent first
baseman, and it will be hard to fool
him again. But, OF course, every one
will try, just the same.
McGraw might be inclined to part
with Grant or Bescher, OF both, and
perhaps he can arrange a deal with
the Cubs or the Cardinals. The ST.
Louis club could we'll use Grant to fill
a hole at shortstop, and, he would also
