Expense.
believing this city is to have league
baseball.
Clouds which early to-day threat
ened to put a crimp in the program
for the opening event at Island Park
we're brushed aside by western breeZeS.
Tho sun came out in all it's glory and
showed desire 10 help in the MEM
orable event.
The Usual Parade
OF course there was a parade. No
league season starts right unless there
is a street display. Harrisburg lacked
nothing in opening features. The pa
rade started at 1.30 o'clock from Hotel
Columbus. Third and Walnut streets.
Crowds gathered about the Federal
the procession and enjoyed the selec-
tions by the Commonwealth band prior
TO the start of the parade.
Harrisburg and York players occu-
pied automobiles. The band, seated
on a large auto truck, headed the
procession. The route was up town
and down town. Chester Zedricks, the
megaphone man, told the crowds
along the streets the meaning for the
big fuss and what would happen at
Island Park later. Brief stops were
made at a number of local industries,
while the band played selection.
Big Crowd at Island Park
The rush to Island Park began soon
after the parade was on the move and
the bleachers and grandstand filled
up rapidly. The attendance was not
as large as on previous opening days,
but was satisfactory. The general
opinion prevails that when the local
supporters realize that real baseball
sport is in order they will do their
part.
Due to the fact that President Will
liam r. Douglass was called to Sha-
mokin last night the program was
slightly changed. The band concert
started at $50, while the players of
the Harrisburg and York teams
warmed up at the bat and in the field.
At o'clock the teams lined up in
center field and. headed by the Com
monwealth band, marched to the
grandstand. In the absence of Presi-
dent Douglass the first ball was tossed
out by prominent local fan and I'M
pire Walsh called the game. He an
nounced the line-ups as follows:

BY pETER p. CARNEY

The latest evidence of the growing
is found of the cooperation between
the baseball and gun clubs at Bull,
Idaho.
Realizing the fact that the follow
ers and devotees of the two sports are
the same people. the officials of the
gun club have made an arrangement
with the baseball club for the holding
of the shooting events on the same
field that the ball club occupies.
When the ball club is not playing,
the grounds will be used for shooting
purposes. This can be easily accom-
plished by the erection of a barrier at
the fence to catch the stray shot and
targets.
As the ball parks are usually
situated close to, or in the heart of
the towns, this means that the shoot

ers will be able TO enjoy their pasttime
without travelling out into the country.
This is one of the reasons why trap
shooting has never become a sport for
spectators.
Grounds are usually located in such
inaccessible places that only the
actual contestants and the hardy fol-
lowers of the sport are willing to take
the trouble and put up with the in
convenience of travelling to the shoot
ing fields. Such a combination can
easily be effected in all of the baseball
towns of the country.
This might also solve one of the
problems for ball clubs. Now they
are confronted with the question of
what to do with their ball parks in
the six months of the year when base
ball is not practiced. or played out of
doors. Trapshooting would solve this
question and keep the parks occupied
at all times.

bat and the first game was on. AS in
the past, York was represented by a
large crowd of rooters and there is
every indication that the old-time
rivalry between Harrisburg and the
White Rose city will-be revived.
At York yesterday the game started
without any special demonstration. It
was explained that the grounds in that
city are not ready for baseball and d
real opening will take place when Har-
risburg visits York two weeks hence.
The game was big surprise to the
200 spectators who attended. Both
teams put up a game fight. Harris

than the White Roses. Buck Ram

York guessing. Even Bill Clay. the
veteran, was unable to solve his de-
liveries. The score tells the story.

Report Not Confirmed

COLUMBUS, N. M, April 16.-The report that Villas body has been found and is being taken to Chihua- 'hua City could not be confirmed here tonight The news was received with interest at military headquarters. While there was no disposition to be- little it. cognizance was taken of the fact that Consul Garcia, who made public the report in Fl Paso did not make ] definite statement and credit ed his information to a reliable source' indicating that it had not coine to him through Mexican off cial channels.
 No communications from the front reached here today, it was stated, other than those of routine nature. Both wireless and field telegraph worked only spasmodically. It was pointed out that some of General Pershing's messages undoubtedly are suffering delay.
 Columbus continued quiet today and orders were issued that regular drills should be resumed by the infantry troops on station here tomorrow.
