MILITARY TRAINING
COMPULSORY IN A. A.
Government to Provide Army
Instructors; Parks Open
to Public Drills.

CHICAGO, April 1O.-Military train
ing for ballplayers is to be adopted
Immediately thruout the American as
sociation, President Hickey announced
here tonight. Heretofore only two
clubs, Milwaukee and indianapolis,
have pursued the policy.
The decision to adopt military
policy was reached, President Hickey
said, because of threatening war situa-
tion. Every club owner has been
urged to cooperate. The government,
he said, has agreed to provide army
sergeants as instructors to the players.
81 was opposed to military training

the players for possible army service
and stimulate recruiting"
According to plans the parks in the
league are to be thrown open to the
public for drilling purposes whenever
tho clubs are playing away from
home.

RICE AT FIRST BASE

WASHINGTON. April 1O.-Clark
Griffith has decided to play Rice on
FIRST base instead Of Judge or Shanks.
Rice was right-handed pitcher when
he Joined the Washingtons in 1915.

and the Old Foy finally sent him 70

ana ms fielding was a revelation.
Griffith will keep Rice at that corner
of the diamond indefinitely. Rice
had n batting average of .2S9 in fifty-
Sight games last season. and IL is be-
lleVed that he will improve. Incl
dentally, Griff has made pretty fair
pitcher out of Jameson, the young
outfielder whom he secured from the
Buffalo club, together with Judge, n
year ago.

Six Teams in Each Circuit
Considered to Be Pennant

NEW YORK. April 1O.-Preceded
by forecast of generally fair weather
but low temperature, the major.
league baseball season will be
formally opened tomorrow in seven
OF the sixteen cities composing tho
National league and the American
league circuits. In the National league
Pittsburgh will play at Chicago; st.
Louis at Cincinnati and Philadelphia
at Brooklyn. The opening game at
Boston with New York has been de-
clared off because the grounds are
covered with snow. on the American
circuit, Chicago will open at st. Louis;
Cleveland at Detroit; Washington at
Philadelphia, and Boston at New
York.
First War Time start.
For the first time in the history OF
either of these baseball organizations
the pennant races will be inaugurated
while the nation is in a state of war,
But once in the Al years of the
league existence has war been pro-
claimed and in the case of the Span
ish-American conflict the declaration
was made six days after the begin
ning OF the season. The opening Of
the 1898 race were played on April
''" ''' PiSAi'iB VI llG war DIOCId-
nation came on April 21. Peace was
declared in December of the same
year Since the formation of the
American league in 1900, the junior
organization has never been con-
fronted with conditions such as pre-
vail today.
Good Year Expected.
The league executives and club
owners are loath to predict the effect
or the present international compli-
cations upon the national game. In q
general way they believe that base
ball is facing a fairly prosperous sea-
son, but expect the receipts and at
tendance to fall below estimates made
before the developments of the last
Few weeks. Precedents upon which
to base calculations in the present sit
uation are few.
During the Spanish-American war
baseball experienced little, if any. set
backs. Last summer the international
clubs In Canada enjoyed marked pros
perlty, Notwithstanding that a large
proportion of young Canadians were
In or training for the trenches.
Unusually close races are expected
IN both leagues. The clubs of both
organizations have been strengthened
To point where at least six teams in
each circuit are considered real pen.
nant contenders.
