Chicago, April .11.-For the first time
in twenty years the major league
baseball season opened today without
Honus Wagner. When the Pittsburgh
Nationals take the field against Chi
cago this afternoon the grand old
man of baseball will be missed from
the lineup. Although Wagner has re-
fused to make any statement his
friends say that he has decided to re-
tire from the game.
New York, April 11.-Preceded by
a forecast of generally fair weather,
but low temperature, the major league
baseball season will be formally open
ed this afternoon in seven of the six
teen cities composing the National
and 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 declared off because
the grounds are covered with snow. On
the American circuit Chicago will
open at st. Louis; Cleveland at De-
troit: Washington at Philadelphia and
Boston at New Pork.
First Time in War.
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 senS
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 beginning
of the season. The opening games of
the 1898 race were played on April 10,
and the signing of the war proclama-
ton came on April II. Peace was de-
clared in December of the same year.
Since the formation of the American
league in 1900. the junior organization
has never been confronted with condi-
tons such as prevail today.
Close Races Expected.
Unusually close races are expected
in both leagues. The clubs of both
organizations have been strengthened
to a point where at least six teams in
each circuit are considered real PEN
nant contenders.

MAJOR LEAGUE
BALL SEASON
OPENS TODAY
(By Associated Press.)


New York, April 11.-RasebaII.
the national safety valve for pent-
up enthusiasm and tense nerves
takes the field today before the
nation at war. The approval of the
military authorities 10 evidenced
by the fact that Maj. -Gen. Leon
ard Wood will open the American
league season here by tossing out
the new ball at the Polo grounds.
Club owners expect a fairly
prosperous season but admit that
receipts and attendance probably
be cut by the war. They are en-
couraged, however, by the fact
that the game fourished during the
Spanish American war and that
the international league games in
Canada last summer were well att
tended.
Friends of the game declare that
baseball this year will perform q
national service by offering dis
traction from the grim tension of
the war.

sat for a long while, little book,
with these letters from Malcolm Stu
art in my hand. What shall ! do with
them?" l asked myself.
oh, little book, l wonder If the silent,
secret decisions Of other women are
as hard as mine. All my life l have
had to make these decisions, first over
Dick, then over Kitty Malram, Eleanor
Fairlow, and Elienc, and now ! must
sit in Judgment on my own case.
It hardly seems right that should
let Malcolm Stuart rest under the mis-
taken judgment of Dick, No, no, little
book, am not excusing Malcolm Stu
art for anything he has ever done: He
paid for all his mistakes, all his sins
as we all must-every step along the
way. But you and know, little BOOK,
that he had great nature in spite OF
everything.
And in spite of what he asked me to
do-in spite of all the lost ladies'
that sailed away never to return, !
ara sure that If Malcolm Stuart had
married the right kind OF a woman
for his first wife he would have made
a splendid man.
He had imagination, he had vision,
He had wish to do right, but fate
made his will weak where his inclina'
lions were concerned. And after his
disheartening experience with his first
wife, he came to the conclusion that
all women wei. like her, utterly WITH
out soul, and he treated the whole sex
as. such
Was he really in love with me, lit

ask you He evidently thought he was
and like all men in that position his
whole idea was possession. One won

had never told me in so many words
that he loved ME.

It seems to me, little book, that most

that cannot live without you" They

as we'll as her love,

When the clock struck Martin called

"Time to bunk now" he announced

opening the lodge door. Holding out a

to his tent outside the door.
They were sitting by the stove the
next morning drinking coffee from
