NEW YORK. April 1.-The Major league nasc ball season of 1916 win he inauguratcd in eight of the lead tomorrow afternoon.
 In th" National League which be- gins it's forty-first season. the initial contests will bring together:
 Boston at Brooklyn

 The opening games in the Amer icdn Lea gue-its seventeenth season. will see
 Washington at New York.
 Philadelphia at Boston.
 St Louis at Cleveland.
 Detroit at Chicago.
 Many of these clubs have been strengthened during the past winter and every indication points to close races for the pcnnants The dcfunct Federal League and the minor cir cults have been fine co,nbed for dia- mond talent. In some cases famous stars will be seen in strange uni forms. but once the players and fans have accustomed themselves to tho new combinations, the general predic- tion of banner year in baseball seems likely to be realized
 While there is vast difference of opinion among close followers Of tfe same regarding the order in which the teams will finish the season. the two Boston clubs appear to have the greatest number of hackers although the eleventh hour sale of Iris Speak CT has not improved the chances Of the Boston Americans. In the Ma tional League, Boston, Philadelphia. Brooklyn, and New York are gen orally picked to finish in the first division. while in the American League Boston, Chicago, Detroit and New York are favored to fill first division positions.
 In the senior league, the Phila del phia club, which won last seasons pennant starts the 1916 campaign with almost the same lineup as a year ago. Manager Moran believes that the Phillies will repeat their winning performance but many crit ics disagree with him.
