NEW YORK, April 1.-THE base
ball fan commenced his great spring
drive today
With a war cloud hanging omin-
ously overhead, the major leagues
opened the season. and fandom
looked on, with a mixture Of pa
triotic fervOr and enthusiasm.
For this one day. King Baseball,
the only autocrat 10 whom we pay
tribute, reigned supreme. The open
ing games were played 10 the tune
OF martial music. With the excep-
ton of the Giants Braves game at
Boston, all OF the clubs were pre-
pared TO open the season according
to schedule. Snow at the Hub kept
New York and Boston idle.
This is the first time that a ma
ior league baseball season has been
opened with the country at war. In
1898, when the Spanish-American
war broke out, the declaration came
after the opening Of the season.
Baseball men are looking ahead
to a successful season in spite of
the war. They point out that the
Spanish-American war had no de-
pressing effect on baseball, and the
Canadian clubs in the international
league have prospered since the
great war broke out in Europe.
That baseball will be affected TO
some extent, however. is a certainty.
Many Of the ball players come with
in the age limit Of the proposed Sc
lective draft for the army Many
may be called before the season
ends. II is estimated that in all OF
the professional leagues there are
between 700 and 500 players who
are eligible.
Following spring season OF
balmy weather down south, the ma
jor league teams were ready today
for the bell The players are fit,
and from a competitive standpoint
the two pennant races promise to
be bitterly fought to the end
The giants stand out as an even
money proposition in the National
league Though they outclass their
rivals is the cOncensus of opinion.
The Boston Braves are rated as the
strongest opponent McGraw's boys
have 70 contend with. Brooklyn's
1915 champions must be considered,
but they are not being taken any
too seriously.
In the American league. Chicago.
Boston. New York and Detroit stand
out boldly as contenders with an
even chance for the pennant a
feature OF today's opening game in
several National and all American
league cities was military drill by
the players.
