storming Trips Cause Loss.

It was a wise move by certain major
league magnates to hold out for a
later opening this season. Had the
major season opened about April 10.
as heretofore, most of the clubs would
have encountered snow and cold rains
in nearly all sections. Now it seems
that the American Association mag
mates were particularly fortunate in
selecting May l to open the season.
The first big games of the season are
scheduled for next Monday in the
American League, when Philadelphia
plays at Boston and New York at
Washington. The other clubs In the
American do not open until Tuesday.
The official opening of the National
League is scheduled for Tuesday.
On the training trips this year most
OF the major teams made speciality of
transforming trips and all of them
have met with severe weather, entail
ing severe losses because of much
travelling and hotel expenses.
