BASEBALL DISPELS
WAR GLOOM TODAY
Big League Teams Get Action
and National Pastime Is
Under Way.

The gloom of war in America was
momentarily brushed aside. today as
fourteen teams Of the American and
National Leagues skidded into their
1917 baseball campaigns. The weather
was excellent. Only one of the games
of the eight was postponed. In Bos-
ton the snow piled too high even for
the Giants and Braves and the pry-
of ceremonies there were put over q
day.
In New York, where two games
were scheduled, the day broke bright
and chilly, with warmer temperatures
promised by noon. The Yankees were
carded to meet the Red Sox and
Brooklyn was to meet the Phillies.
Pennant Hopes High. y
Pennant hopes beat high in the
breasts of Bill Donovan and Jack
Barry as they led their rival charges
into action. Each manager has a
team picked to be in the running right
up to the final weeks. 1t will be
Barry's first start at the head Of a
baseball team and he is leading the
worlds champions.
Martial spirit filled the Yankees
opening. The team which led all 9TH
ers in the American League in getting
into military training will entertain
its fans early in the afternoon with a
military drill, the players to be re-
viewed by Gen. Leonard Wood, who
will throw out the first ball. Slim
Caldwell, the obstreperous Yankee
HEAVIER, has been picked by Bill Dono-
van to start his youngsters toward a
pennant. He will be opposed by Babe
Ruth. The big portsider is advertised
as being as near mid-season condi-
tion as possible.
Alex Takes Mound.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, star
Phillie hurler, will exhibit has sl2,5OO
arm for the first time today when he
opens against the champion Dodgers.
Jack Coombs, veteran of the Dodger
CORDS, and the only man OF the Eb-
bets clan who could get by with a
victory over the Red Sox, will oppose
the Nebraska demon. Weather re-
ports from all over the ciEcuits were
encouraging.
Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, and
st. Louis, where the entertainment
will begin, are reveling in a change
from winter to bslmy spring.
Gov. John X. Tener, president OF
the National League, went to Gin
cinnatI last night. He will be the
guest of the Reds when they open
this afternoon with the Cardinals.
Big Crowds Expected.
Extraordinary attendance is ex.
pected during the season by baseball
critics. The death OF the players
fraternity and the patriotic response
of magnates to the needs OF the
country have given the national pas
time a much needed boost during the
winter.
Ban Johnson believes the greatest
season in the history OF baseball will
visit American League parks. He
points out that the public will be
searching for diversion from Wal
news and baseball will be the handy
logical diversion.

Maryland State gave a good ac-
