cent of that cut under sales. No fig

MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMS
START SEASON TODAY
In Many Cities the Time-wOrn
Opening Programs Were Miss
ing; Simply Baseball
BY Associated Press

New York, April 14.-For baseball
fans throughout the country this was
the most memorable day of the year,
the day for which they had waited six
long months, the day of the opening
of the big league season. The Wash
ington Weather Bureau promised fair
weather to greet the thousands who
were to gather in baseball parks in
the East and the West to welcome old
favorites. and new faces on the dia-
mond.
All the disputes and legal tangle-
ments of the winter were temporarily
thrown into the discard SO far as the
spectators We're concerned at the sig
nal to play ball. In accord with GUS
tom. the great game was to receive
official endorsement by President Will
son in Washington in tossing the first
ball upon the diamond, while Mayor
Mitchell, in New York. and other Off
cials in various cities performed SINH
lar functions.
President Tener On Hand
President John K. Tener, of the Ma
tional League, planned to attend the
opening game OF the New YORK anu
Brooklyn clubs at the Polo Grounds
here. The leagues president was in
an optimistic mood.
Il feel that this race will be the
closest we have ever fought he said.
Our strength is we'll matched. Bos-
ton and New York, of course, have
fine clubs. while st. Louis and Chi
cago have fighting teams that will not
take defeats without giving their OPP
ponents a great battle. The Phillies
have the greatest pitcher in America
in Grover Alexander. and that counts.
Cincinnati, it is said. will fool a lot OF
folks. Herzog has those boys out
there hustling and will put up quite
a fight to get in the first division"
New York Has Four Teams
New York fans figured that with
four teams in this city, including
Brooklyn with its Federal League
club. there ought to be fair chance
of winning one of the three big pen
nants.
Locally the pomp and ceremony
which formerly signalled the opening
games had been abandoned. There
were to be no speeches nor parades.
jeff Tesreau. for the Giants. and jeff
Pfeffer, for Brooklyn, were the oppos-
ing pitchers selected for the first game
of the season. The schedule for to-
day follows:
American League-Boston at Phila-
delphia. New York at Washington,
Cleveland at Detroit, Chicago at
st. Louis.
National League-Phillies at Bos-
ton. Brooklyn at New York, st. Louis
at Chicago, Pittsburgh at Cincinnati.
