New York, April 14.-The call of
"play'' sounded to-day for two major
leagues of organized baseball. Despite
the war among nations abroad and the
continuation of strife between. diver
gent baseball interests at home, big
league magnates last night expressed
belief that the coming season would be
a successful one for the game. In
huences of the European conflict and
other factors initiating against inter
est in the sport are declared to have
spent their force and baseball men
seem confident that the game will be
again we'll patronized by the public.
New managers in two cities in each
league made their bows to-day. In the
National League Roger Bresnahan will
lead the Chicago Cubs on the diamond,
while "Pat' Moran will perform a
similar office in Philadelphia. In the
American League Clarence Rowland
will appear rs the new manager of the
Chicago White Sox and William
Donovan will begin the tuterage of the
New York, in what their friends hope

that Tuesday is his jinx day. 1t doesn t
seem that he can fan the hard-hitting
devil on that particular section of the
week. Although he had good audiences
both afternoon and evening and the
collections were of respectable size,
there did not seem to 'be much reviving
done
Billy spoke to 1900 persons, and
$S13.3S was taken in. But his own
vim, vigor, vinegar and pepper seemed
to be lacking, and neither of his assem-
blages warmed up to him. He raised
only three or four laughs and couple
of outbursts of applause in the after
noon, and his night response was but
little better.
