cut that recalled to the baseball fans
the opening of the American League
season thirteen years ago, the Federal
Leaguers started their championship
race in Baltimore yesterday. The
Baltimore TerraplnS defeated the Buff
falos by the score of to 2.
Otto knabe, late of the Phillies, ably
assisted by Mike Doolan and Runt
Wash, also well-known to National
League fame, marshaled hls forces at
the brand Lew park before about 10000
leather lunged fans, who were perched
IL every conceivable part of the IN
closure, with several thousand more
on the outside looking in from tree
and house tops and even telegraph
poles.
Ii was mighty big send-off for the
Federal League. The whole city re-
joiced in the resumption of what IS
looked upon as big league ball after
On absence of twelve years, Muggsy
McGraw, in 1902, having deserted the
American League at Baltimore and
transferred himself to the Giants of
New York. And it so happened that
Mugasy's Giants were playing right
across the street from the Federal
League with the Baltimore team of
the International organization. The
counter attraction in no way affected
the turnout at the Federal Park, for
IL would have been found almost inn
possible to get more persons inside
the grounds with a shoe horn.
Otto and his crowd have taken the
town by storm. A holiday was prac-
tically declared In the business part
of the city and everyone who is "a
baseball bug and others who do not
pretend to he bugs were on hand. 1t
was as representative as 1T was gay
colored crowd. The conservative bust
TESS men, the politicians and the or
sanized boosters were all mixed up
together and they all cheered when
Earl Moore, also well known to Ma
tional League followers, was driven
from the pitchers box by the Terra
pins and Baltimore scored three runs
On an equal number of two baggers
into the crowd surrounding the play
ing field.
Before the game the usual formali-
ties We're gone through with. Presi-
dent Gilmore, of the league was on
hand and he led the grand march
around the field, which terminated
with raising of Old Glory while the
bands played Arriving at the plate,
knabe found waiting for him a large
loving cup presented by his admirers
from Philadelphia, many of whom oc-
cupied prominent places in the stands.

John 10. Madden. James III. Preston,
mayor of the city, threw out the first
ball and the game was on.
knabe had selected Jack Quinn
over whom James Gaffney, of the
Boston club. threatened to bring suit,
to do the pitching. He was opposed
by Big Earl Moore, some time ago of
the Phillies, but more recently Of the
Cubs For three innings the game
went along quietly enough. Both
teams got man around to third, but
could not score him in the opening
session. Then came the fourth.
Quinn disposed of Buffalo, despite
Knabes tumble and his own wild
pitch, but when the Terrapins went
to bat the trouble began with Zinn,
last year of the Boston Braves, soak
ing the ball for two bases to right
field. Simmons. who has played for
the New York Highlanders, and who
figured prominently in the game later,
did not tap the ball quite hard
enough, and Hanford pulled down
the fly. But Swacina, the leading
batsman of the Newark team last
year, and who Is we'll remembered
here, poked the ball into the left
field crowd, scoring linn. Runt
Waish's lily lacked something to curry
1t Into the crowd and Bonnin caught
the ball. Then the illustrious Mike
Doolin went to bat. Mike was never
known az heavy hitter. but Moore
passed him just the same, putting
two men on base with Jacklitsch up.
Jack" is another Phllly, but of some
years back. Although he last was
heard from at Rochester, he Is classed
as a big Lacquer, and he made good
with two base drive to centre, scor-
ing two runs, as Doolan had mean
while pilfered second. Quinn flew out
and the inning ended with Baltimore
three runs to the good.
1t was by Buffalo scoring a pair of
runs In the next inning that kept in
terest In the game. Knapp, a big
Lacquer from Cleveland, took Moore's
place on the mound, and there was
nothing doing thereafter for the Ter
rapins, although Knapp was forced to
work himself out of several holes.
