By H. c. Hamilton.

Omitted Press staff corrcspondent.)
New York, April l0.-Everything ex-
cept the weather is set today for the
opening of the major league baseball
season tomorrow. As for the weather
it S best not TO interview any baseball
magnate on that subject.
Some very, very cold snow was doing
the honors today at Ebbets Field and
the Polo Grounds in New York, and at
Braves Field in Boston. Conditions
were little better in Philadelphia
President Tener of the National
league today announced his umpire as
signments Tor the opening series and
then sat right quiet to see if his luck
is good. ODay and Bransfield are
scheduled for Brooklyn; Byron and
Quigley at Boston; KLEIN and Emslie
at Chicago; Rigler and Orth at Cincin-
natti.
The weather in these parts is a serious
menace to opening the season. Unless
it turns warmer it will be impossible
to play baseball.

shattered to pieces by the force of the
three successive shocks.
Fire departments were called from
nearby towns to fight the blazes which

After the three big shocks, minor ex
plosions continued intermittently ant
at times sounded like the firing Of {
gatling gun battery. For this reason i
was impossible for rcscuers to approach
near to the actual scenes of the expio
sions. Many ambulances with doctors
and nurses from Chester and othe
points were arriving at Eddystone a
