The baseball season has been a dis
tinct disappointment to me. so far. 1t
also has been a succession of sur.
prises, but the race has not advanced
far enough nor have the teams set
tied down sufficiently to make 1t pos.
sible to draw any accurate .conclu-
sions. 2. | ~
What has disappointed me most
has been the weather. The Giants
came back from the south in as good
condition as have seen the club aft
er a spring practice since have be-
longed to it. We got into Philadel-
phia for the opening game and met a
cold, raw afternoon that kept those
Of us on the bench shivering in our
maekinaws. Many of the boys had
colds the next day as result. Then
followed two days of rain, when the
condition that We had been so care
fully collecting in the south oozed
out Of us. Those two cold, raw, wet
days following the opening, when
there was no chance for any body to
do any work, set back a lot of the
Giants, especially the pitchers. Men
like Tesreau and myself, who have to
develop our spring condition careful
ly, feel keenly such shocks of the
temperature.
Wants Later Opening.
It is my opinion that the schedule
makers open the season too early If
the first game could be postponed for
a couple of weeks until the weather
is surer OF itself, it would result in
better baseball all around. The open.
ing of the season is much like inau-
guration day in one respect - when
the lid is taken off along about the
middle of April you can be sure of
two or three days of bad weather i'm
mediately afterward, the same as any.
body can count on bad weather any
time president is being inaugurated.
If the season were opened at the
end of April each spring it would
make vast difference in the show.
ing of some of the clubs. None can
play good ball in the cold, raw wealth,
er after having spent several weeks
in the sunshine of the south. 1t
might be possible to let the season
run even little later in the fall, al.
though | am not certain that this
would be good policy. However,
the change in the weather then is
gradual, the drop in temperature not
being so abrupt as the one We meet
when we jump from the far south.
How Marquard Got Start.
1t was a disappointment to see the
Phillies get to Marquard in the open,
ing game Of the season, and it was
also big surprise to most of US. Nc,
Graw picked "Rube" out to start the
season for two reasons. One was that
he appeared to be in fine condition
and another was that he has always
been strong against the Phillies
There is some psychology in this lat
ter fact, but he was batted harder in
the opening game than he had ever
been by the Philadelphia club. After

the New York bench for two years

The Kamehameha men have held

SUING. HOTEL 60. FOR S36,6S2.48
 
Monk & Ritchie Claim That Amount Due Them as Bal
 ance on Contrast Price.

Suit for 6,6S2.48 was filed yeser- day against the Pine Bluff hotel company by Monk & Ritchie, a build ing form composed of H. p. Monk and W. w. Ritchie, who claim the amount as due on contract by which they erected the hotel Pines. The suit is evidently the outgrowth of a differ ence of opinion as to the interpreta- ton of a clause in the contract by which the hotel company was to be paid by the contracts $100 for cash day elapsing between October l, 1912 on which the contract stipulated the building should be completed, and the date on which it was actually finish ed. #... tiRq'
 Plaintiffs recite that by the terms ot contract entered into on October 23, 1911, they were to receive $l7O.O00 for erecting the hotel building in ac- cord with plans and specifications made a part of the agreement. They allege that during the course of the construction of the building, they were ordered tD do work not specl- fled, this sending the cost of $lS4,o90 They say they have been paid $l47,- 916.S1, leaving a balance of $36,6S2.4S for which judgment is asked.
 Concerning the delay in the com Iletion of the building, the plaintiff contractors set forth that the delay was due to procrastinatioa Of others interested and for whom they are in nc way responsible. They say the company did not employ an architect and therefore waived the right ol notification of delay provided for ill the contract.
