New York. April 13.-The coming
week will witness the opening of an
Other. major league baseball season
with the playing OF, the initial games
in the, American and National league
schedules Of 1918. Although enlist
ments and the draft have caused
many of the players to change their
diamond uniforms for those of either
the army. or the navy the prospects
Dfjnt to the carrying on of the game
this summer with the same, Keen
rivalry that has marked the sport. i'll
past years.
Considered broadly there appears
to he about the usual distribution Of
playing talent and strength as in for
mer pennant races for where one
club has improved its combination
another has lost one or more of it's
formidable players thus. in a general
way, evening up the situation. In the
National league the Cincinnati. St.
Louis and Chicago teams on paper. at
the case twelve months ago. The
New York club, winner of h 1917
pennant. does not strike the close
student of the game as being quite as
impressive as last season, while both
Brooklyn and Philadelphia are
scarcely as strong as Il year ago.
The Chicago White Sox stand out
s"' hAbS III IN ~
can league for the combination will
begin the season fully as powerful as
when the team closed the 1917 cam
paign with the double laurels of pen
Iant winners and World Champions.
Among the other clubs the New York
Yankees are undoubtedly stronger in
every department, with the exception
of pitchers, than was the case last
year. The Boston Red Sox are more
or less of an uncertain quantity vet
many Of their followers expect them
to be the surprise OF the league.
Cleveland. Detroit and Washington
are about up to the standard of last
season if not a trif1e stronger while
the Philadelphia Athletics with a
number of %youngster in the line-up
caDnot be figured upon in advance.
an considering the prospects of the
coming season the executives of the
two major leagues take cognizance of
war time conditions in relation to
baseball yet are confident thai the ma
tional sport will not decline in quality
OF play or in it's hold upon it's follow
ers. since patriotism and recreation
are necessarily connected at this time.
Tcnor's Views.
Baseball, in common with all 9TH
er outdoor sports, i'll my opinion.
should be encouraged in times of war
AS well as in times of peace. Base
ball really had it's origin during the
Civil war when soldiers in that great
conflict benefited themselves physi-
cally and in spirit by engaging in this
then new game. This was true with
the soldiers in II war with Spain. as
it is true with our brave boys today
who have enlisted under the colors
and are either i'll the nm here or at
the front in France.
'F'rom the very inception of the
present war England has realized
that to, keep her soldiers fit they must
be given opportunity to- indulge in
their favorite sports, and. by govern
ment appropriation. that country has
used a large sum of money for the
purchase of athletic pa%raphernalia

President Wilson has given every en-

Under the Selective Draft or Con-
scription Act. professional baseball
players are called to the service of
their country precisely the same as
those in any other profession. voca-
ed. and are just as ready to answer
the call either by enlistment or draft
as other patriotic citizens; but until
that call comes, they must. as they
should, continue to arr their liveli-
hood in the profession which gives to
them the greatest compromising re-
and in which they are most cx-
pert. Many players have enlisted,
and under the operation of the draft
law baseball has furnished its quota.
I'VE all realize, especially at this
hour, the pressing call that is upon
each of us to aid our country in do
nish men and means to combat the
enemy and to ensure an early and
complete victory to our arms; and
this effort will be best sustained by
getting into the open and into the
sunshine occasionally and by either
witnessing or participating in out
door sports to gain that health and
vigor and alertness of intellect neces-
to do we'll the work that may
come to our hand.

and accepted baseball almost to the
exclusion of other summer sports. and

troops of the Allied armies engage in

seems to have in it the very spirit, and
