 Jeff Pfeffer pitched well in the at- ternoon game for Brooklyn. The Bos- ton players got on the bases in every inning. but there were no hits to send them home. Pfeffer contributed to Brooklyn's win by driving the ball into deep left center. where Riggert dropped it after a long run. Boston scored in the seventh on hits by Miller and Herzog, and in the eighth, when Pfef- fer became wild and passed two and hit two, forcing Holke in.
 Rudolph for Boston and Cadore for Brooklyn engaged in pitching duel in the first game, which was broken by Brooklyn in the tenth inning, when Griffith singled with runners on third and scored. Boston scored twice in the seventh with three hits and a sac rifice fly.

Big League Presidents Talk
(Bv President Ban B. Johnsonl

(By President Ban B. JohnSon)
 In the last three or four months there has been a great awakening of interest among supporters of baseball, which argues well for a revival of the sport. It is plain the public mind has eased from war conditions, and we can look forward with genuine confidence to a spirited race in both major leagues.
 Gradual return of players from over seas and home cantonments has filled the ranks of all clubs to a standard so essential for the production of the highest grade of professional baseball. There has been much shifting in the composition of American league teams, which affords rare speculation as to chief contenders for the flag.
 In acquiring Witt, Boston has added strength to it's infield. During the winter, New York has shown energy and by liberal expenditure of money, has changed flor the better the com plexion of it's team. Its batting strength has been improved and the club has a Tar superior pitching department. The lacking element is speed.
 Philadelphia's infield is still a prob- lem Connie Mack must solve, but we all concede he has corraled a hard hitting outfield and has built his pitch ing staff to higher standard.
 @here has been no material improve ment in the Washington club.
 Gardner's assignment to Cleveland infield will give the Indians" a hard hitting veteran. Cleveland will be bet ter equipped in pitchers.
 Chicago has reclaimed much of it's former strength.
 Changes have been made in the formations at Detroit and St. Louis which should insure a higher quality of baseball for both cities.

(By PRESIDENT JoHNA. HEIDLER)

(By PRESIDENT JOHN A. HEIOLER)
 The baseball horizon has declared and the sun of optimism shines where clouds of uncertainty threatened to blot out the national game for an ex- tended period. Less than eight moths ago, we closed for the duration of the war. Close to 75 per cent of our play CTS entered the service and a majority of the national league clubs still have men on the other side. Some may re- turn for participation in early games, and the remainder are expected home before mid-season. It is a miracle that so few were killed or maimed and that so many have been able to return to play.
 To hazard a prediction, under such circumstances, as to the comparative playing strength of our clubs si, there fore, out of the question. To make the aspect even more uncertain, there is a lot of excellent young playing talent being develop. and l would not be sur prised to see the lead in the race change frequently during the first half of the season.
 l feel on far more certain ground, when l say that from all indications. the coming season will, from the stand point of popularity. be one of the best in recent years. Reports from where spring exhibition games are being played are that the attendance has been unusually large; the enthusiasm keen, and the interest of fans demon strated in many ways. The demand for tickets for the opening games is fully up to the standard. I believe that the initial games will set a pace that will be maintained throughout the season.
 P-poris from the south indicate that the sDifA- and enthusiasm of the play CTS are in keeping with that of the fol- lowers of the game. They are relieved from the strain and unrest of the base ball war and from the far greater anxieties and stress of the world war.
 On the technical side, | may mention that the National league umpires have received special Instructions to en- force the balk rule. from either the home plate or back of the pitchers box. Notice was likewise served on all managers of pitchers prior to training.

FARRELL IS OPTIMISTIC

NEW YORK, April 19.-Speaking of the outlook for the 1919 baseball sea- son, Secretary J. II. Farrell of the Ma tional association today said:
 Reports from every section show a health resumption of the sport in the minor league territory and in every section, indications point to a highly successful year. Many leagues are be- ing rebuilt on more substantial local fOundatoinS.
 Tn the southern states, spring train ing exhibition games attracted more patronage than at any time for many years and the attendance at the open ing series of these ganfes between the Chicago Nationals and the San Fran cisco club in California, was the great est in the history of baseball on the Pacific coast"

mittee. now being reorganized to IN

Clarence r. Wilson. federal food

Il had been suggested that when
the threatened strike went into CT

Washington with food are restricted
