 New York. April 16.-The opening week of the baseball season brought out few surprises The lineup in the grandstands was practically the same as when the season closed last fall, most of the fans busying themselves tefore the first game started by pick ing old 1920 seat checks and october peanut crumbs out of the pockets of their lightweight overcoats.
 Old-timers on the two teams rec ognized familiar faces in the bleachers and were quick to give them well coming cheer. The game by innings as it was conducted by the spectors is as follows:
 IN DETAIL
 First inning. Scanlon, sitting in the first base bIeachers. yelled to Ruth to lead off with home run Thibbets sharpened his pencil. Liebman and ORoUrke, in the south stand, engaged in bitter controversy over Peckin- paughs last season batting average No runs.
 Second inning scanlon yelled to Bode to whang out double Turtleot said that Bodie couldn't do it. Ccan- lon said "Oh. is taht so?" Turtleot know about that?" Bodie whanged out a double and Scanlon's collar came un- done and he lost his derby. Stevens said that this made Bodies batting av- craze 1000 for the season so far. Jos | lin laughed.
 | Third inning: Tibbets sharpened his pencil. Trimmer yelled to Mays to watch out for a fast one. Steinway 1 yelled to Mays to watch out for slow one. Mays famed, O'Rourke called and asked Brazil how all the little | bzrazil-nuts were. Levy turned to O'Rourke and said he'd brazil-nu him. O'Rourke said, "Eah? You and who else?" Levy said. That's all right ORourke said "Well. why don't you come. you big haddock?' Levy said he'd wait for O'Rourke outside where there weren't any ladies. No runs.
 Fourth inning Scanlon called out tc

 DOCTOR PLAYS U-BOAT GOLF pr. Frank Willis Barnett, who was one of the most enthusiastic entries in the newspaper mems golf tournament, which is stiil awaiting play in the finals, says he still holds good to his Baptist faith, even in the ancient and hon orable pastime of golf.

and other crack moundsmen were in their prime, is out of baseball, Socka- lexis will be recalled by veteran fans as fine outfielder and cleanup hitter for Cleveland when that club was Ma tional league organization. This truly great player did not take care of him self and died a pauper. Chief Johnson pitched good ball for the Reds along about 19l0 but he has long disappeared, while Ben Tincup, who pitched for the Phillies a few years ago. is now playing the outfield in the American association and occasionally pitching-at least he was last year.
 SOME ADVICE TO ROCKS
 But, to return to the subject of young players the writer recently talked about them to such managers as Connie Mack, Clark Griffith, Pat Moran and Bill Glea- son, and while they may not be quoted, the opinions garnered may be set forth in the way of advice which all young players should heed. So here goes;
 Too many young ball players breaking into the big leagues are more interested in the salary they are to receive than m the kind of baseball they are to develop.
 Many beginners don't know the rules oi the game. They have never read them Their knowledge is superficial and based on such plays as have come up in theiI own careers.
 Young pitchers are too careless abou control of the ball. The moment they have developed good curves they thinh | they have won the battle. A curve is nt good if it cannot be pitched to the righ' spot.
 Too few young players go in fo catching. Youngsters think the backstol has too much to do in position whicl l offers nothing spectacular.
 Too many beginners think that base ball consists only of hitting the ball out They do not practice scientific Dattng fielding and throwing with intelligence and patience.
 Every boy wants to be a pitcher whereas there are nine money-makinI positions open to all.

TAKING CHANGES DIDN'T PAY

Tommy Taylor is noted for put ting on side-splitting stunts while clowning afield. His finger splitting episode, however, proved blow to the Barons, and, even though Thomas should be able to get back in the game in a day or so. the bad hand is sure to ham per his work. Moley told me open ing day that Taylor had no busi- ness in the game with that wounded hand, but the terrible Texan was So anxious to perform in the opener that he argued Moley into place in the lineup He played a star game, but he was taking chance with the wounded hand. and when the Barons got to Nashville the old wound was CDeued

 .g STEVE IS SLAMMING FEM
 Young Reggie Stephenson, the Alabama football and baseball star. hoped from a college campus to the second-base job for the Cleve- land Indians. and started peeIng the old onion with his terrific drives on his first day out. and has continued lambasting the pitchers offerings since One sell dom sees a rookie break in with the eclat or hecticity that Reggie has produced since joining Iris Speakers bunch. For the first three games, he hit exactly 300 for the Cleveland clan.
 Iii the opening game he was up four times, and got duo of safe smacks., Saturday 1t was the same thing, with four times at bat and two wallops and two runs. This gives him six hits for dozen attempts with the willow, record of .500. And Stevie has started off with such vim that Iris Speak CT has almost forgotten about the injury to Wambsganss, the regu- lar keystoner for the world cham pions. X

PERRY Cincinnati is happy in the, possession of Fonseca, who has hit a gait thus far which leads to the belief that Pat Moran will not have such a badly messed-up infield as one Heinie Groh thought likely. And O'Neill of the Boston Braves has entered into his second year behind the bat in a manner which right now sets him down as the equal of any 'backstop in the league. which is going some.
 MAY FARM YELLOWHORSE
 Chief Moses Yellowhorse, who was the star boxman of the Little Rock club ot the Southern league last year, is one youngster, however. who is likely to be sent to the minors for another season s grooming. Before this occurs, though, he will have every opportunity to make good. Sentimental fans who have marked the great redskin players who have worn big league spangles in the past will pull for him to come through right now, for Yellowhorse is the last of the Mohicans. There is no other aborigine on any major league outfit Jim Thorpe. who played respectively on the Giants, Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Braves, is now in the minors Chief Bender, the great Ath- letics star is now pitching good base ball and managing the New Haven Conn, club Chief Meyers, who caught for the Giants when Matty, McGinnity
