robes, marched out on Braves field
here today and his loyal subjects, a
big crowd of fans, shouted them
selves hoarse and in various other
ways let him know that whatever
their attitude toward him during the
war they are heart and soul for him
now.
The occasion was the opening of the
baseball season when the Boston
Braves met the Brooklyn Dodgers in
two games.
The Dodgers won the morning game
which went to ten innings, by a score
of to 2.
Weather conditions were ideal. The
spring sun was just warm enough to
be comfortable and a light northeast
were in perfect condition.
Whatever lack of interest baseball
fans displayed during the war, it was
relegated into the past by the en-
thusia site response and interest OF the.
thousands that Wed for entrance to
the games. Officials who watched the
arrival of the crowd and kept close
tabs on its pulse during the first
game, just smiled and retired to their
offices to count the receipts.
If the enthusiasm which greeted
the opening game is any indication
then baseball is entering upon a new
era which may eclipse its pre-war
popularity. The. very sight of the
players as they walked out on to the
field was the signal for an uproar of
we4coming shouts and cheers.
OF the thousands of fans none were
more enthusiastic than 5000 soldiers
of the 26th division, who saw the
games as guests of the Braves. They
cheered and encouraged the players
in way all their own. A military
band added to the uproar.s
The first hit and the first run of
the season were made by Malone,

singled. Wheat tripled to right field.
