READY TO
CHANGE OPENING DATES


NEW YORK, May lin spite of
Ban Johnson, Gov Tener and others
who favor early openings for the base
ball season it is evident that a strong
fight will be made at next winters big
league meeting for a change in the
dates. The almost unbearable weather
which greeted the players when they
tried to open this year undoubtedly
was the fatal straw Five or six mag
mates have expressed themselves very
strongly against another opening dur
ing the season of uncertain weather
Charles H. Ebbets, president of the
Brooklyn club, is expected to lead the
raiding battalion in the National
league, and the New York club prob
ably will come out fatty in support of
the change in the American league.
It has been argued by both Ban John
son and Gov. Tener that later open
ing date would gain nothing because
bad weather is just as likely to trike
in May as in April 1t has been point
ed out that many clubs have lost day
after day in May because of rain.
1t has not been pointed out by the
opponents of the present system OF
opening, however, that snow and
cold are as much responsible for
double headers laid over from April
as is rain. And when ] baseball fan

tie afternoon shivering he is likely to
reach a conclusion that his next visit
will be along about July 4. And fan

France, Italy. Spain and the Scandinavian

to like advance with May at S2.311a to
S2.32 and July at S1.9S to S19s34 were
followed by sharp gains all around.
The bulge which did not stop until in
some cases the gains reached nine cents,
was accompanied by signs that British in
terests were buying on large scale at
Winnipeg and that domestic milling de-
mand had again become active. Announce
ment that the Argentine government would
permit the shipment of 100000 bushels
to the entente failed to bring about any
important bearish reaction: the close was
strong, to $40 net higher with May at
