strung with splendid effect. Fourth
grade pupils exhibited the apron

work required for that grade. One
child, 8 years of age, had a complete
set, with the stitches fairly regular and
the work very neatly done.
The regular exhibit of selected pa

grade VIII there We're two sketches

of good ash against good horsehide and
the turnstiles began to click. Then the
band-yes, it was Kendall's First Regi-
ment-began to play. The first players
on the field were two Boston men, so
muffled up in big red sweaters that the
sporting writer's could not recognize them.
Shortly after / o'clock nearly all the
Boston players were on the field.
Murphy. Walsh, McAvoy and Barry
were first of the Athletics to appear all
dolled up, so to speak, in new uniforms
of a wondrous whiteness Everything
save the old steel and concrete stands
looked new. on them were much of the

But the grass in the field was in mid
season form. Nothing else was summery.
however. Fans who elected to sit in the
bleachers were fairly comfortable be-
cause they got the sun, but in the COW
cred stands cold wind made them
shiver and turn UP collars.
The news that j. Franklin Baker was
in the park rapidly sped among the early
arrivals and there were many calls for
the home run king to "cut out farming
and come on back here where you ought
to be"
Fandom bore a self-conscious look be-
fore the actual opening of the game to-
day. Some one has intimated there is
less enthusiasm this year over the open
Ing of the season than in former years.
but the real explanation seems to be
that the fans realized they were on pa
rade today. Everybody tried to act dig
nfled and unconcerned, as though big
league openings happened every day, but
the lure of the game upset the placidity
of nearly everybody before long, And an
idea of how false was this early COM
posure may be gained from the knowl-
edge that dyed-in-the-wool fans began to
arrive al Shibe Park as early as II o'clock
this morning, Some lined up against
the walls and others sat on benches in
the square opposite the ball park.
American patience was again proved
during the ceremonies of a highly cere-
monlal nature that always precede the
start of the seasons first game. Some
fans, whose sole desire was to see the
game start, even professed to take an
interest in the festivities
II wouldn't be fair not to mention the
hard-working photographers. The camera
cZars got out on the field early in groups
and punches and ordered everybody
around even making the band leader pose
for picture, which he did without any
more argument than any other band
leader would have put up.

friends here as well as UP the state. in
the little city of Fitchburg, where Patri-
cius has always made his home. Fitch
burg folk are ever anxious to do homage
to those of their number who attain
prominence and a big delegation came
down to root for Moran and for his Phil
lies. They had seats near the Phiadel-
phia bench. and before the game started
Moran held a five-minute reception shak-
ing hands with his mid-winter pals
Another reason for the Phillies pop
ularity here this year is the presence
upon the team of two of those who help
ed the Braves in their sensational career
of last year-George Whitted and Oscar
Dugey. Both were big local favorites
and each received warm hand many
times during the practice.
Chatting with the EVENING LEDGER
correspondent before the game Whitted
said: 81 wasn't crazy to quit a worlds
championship team last winter: no one
would be, | guess. But ! want to say my
new team is a mighty lively ball club and
1t looks mighty good to me- ! had heard
n lot about lack of discipline on this
team, but I can say I have never found
any. And there's just as much inside
stuff here as there was on the Braves
The way Moran does things reminds me
of Stallings, time and time again.
But to return to the high spots con-
nected with the afternoons opening.
His Honor Mayor Curley was on hand
in one of the front boxes to throw out
the first ball. But before that came the
two teams marched out to deep centre
field in just the same ragged fashion that
ball players usually march and there un-
firled to the breezes a brand new Amerl-
can flag. Messrs. Moran and Evers fur
nlshed most of the elbow grease in get
ting the flag to the top of the 60-foot
fagstaff. Then everybody was photo
graphed and the march back to home
plate was resumed TO the martial strains
from the 9th Regimental Band.
The game started at o'clock. under
an absolutely fieckless sky and with the
thermometer hanging around the 60
degree notch, making the day pRssably
comfortable, although topcoats were far
Ifrom an annoyance. Dick Rudolph, the
double hero of the last worlds series,
will pitch for Boston, with Grover CleYe-
land Alexander, always a mystery to the
Braves, as he is to the six other clubs,
in the box for the Philles. Warming up
for the Braves were Rudolph and Hughes,
for neither Tyler nor James is likely TO
start in the present series. Demaree and
Mayer were also busy in the Phillies'
bull pen when the rival captains con-
ferred with the umpires regarding ground
rules few minutes before the appointed
hour for the opening of hOstilities.
