SCHEDULES.

New York, April 15.-This week Win
witness the opening Of another major
league baseball season with the play
ing Of the initial games in the AmeTi-
can and National league schedules q
1918. Although enlistments and the
draft have caused many Of the play
ers to change their diamond uniforms
for those of either the army or the
navy, the prospects point to the carry.
ing on of the game this summer with
the same keen rivalry that has markod
the sport in past years.
TALENT EVENLY DISTRIBUTED
Considered broadly there appears TO
be about the usual distribution Of play
ing talent and strength as in foYmof
pennant races for where ono club has
improved its combination another has
lost one or more Of its formidable play.
ers thus, in general way, evening up
the situation. In the National League
the Cincinnati, st. Louis and Chicago
teams, on paper at least, appear t. be
stronger than was the case twe3ve
months ago. The New York club, win.
ner Of the 1917 pennant, does not
strike the close student Of the game
as being quite as impressive - last
season, while both Brooklyn and PM.
adelphia are scarcely - strong - .
year ago.
sox FAvoRiTE
The Chicago White sox stand o. -
the ranking favorite in the American
league for the combination will begin
the season fully as powerful % whon
the team closed the 1917 campaign
with the double laurels OF peonsas
winners and world champions Amon1
the other clubs the New York Yanko0s
are undoubtedly stronger In every u.
partment. with the exception Of Fitch.
ers, than was the case last year. The
Boston Red Sox are more or less Of IN
uncertain quantity. yet many OF their
followers expect them to be the -.
prise OF the league. Cleveland. Detroit
and WASHINGTON are about up to the
standard Of last season II not . trifl~
stronger. while the Philadelphia Atkp

the lineup, cannot be figured upon N

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago April 15.-Favorable wealth
er had a. bearish effect today on corn
Receipts were large. On the decline,
commission houses turned to the buy
ing side and brought about a reaction.
Opening prices which varied from I'M
changed figures to nc lower with
May $1.27 and July 1.49A to $1.50k
were followed by moderate general
upturn.
A more pronounced break took place
later but again the market rallied
Prices closed unsettled at $1.27h for
May and $1.49A to X for July with the
market as whole Nc of to hc adj
vance, compared with Saturdays nm
isll.
Absence Of selling pressure allowed
oats to ascend after some weakness at
the outset. The initial sag was due to
sympathy with corn. After opening y @
u to NC off with May s3h Oh prices
rose to well above Saturdays closing
level.
Big supplies Of hogs had only a
transient depressing influence on pro-
visions. Trade was small.
