Chicago, April 12.-Chilly winds
will make the warming up process
difficult and will serve to cool the
hot enthusiasts as the new major
league baseball season opens today
in the western cities of the big cir
cults.
Everything seemed suspicious for
the entry of another season except
the weather, and there were hopes
that by game time the clouds might
pass oyer and the schedules could
be started without any postpone
ments.
The Chicago Americans will start
the season here with the st. Louis
Browns as their opponents. The
Urban boys-Faber for the White
Sox and Shocker' for the Browns
have been selected as the opposing
pitchers. Faber, premier pitcher of
the circuit last season, had Shocker
as a close contender for the honor
of being leading twirler. Schalk
will catch for the Sox and SEVERED
for st. Louis.

at Cleveland with Detroit as the

probably start off without their
manager, Ty Cobb, who suffered an
injury in an exhibition game. He

He was a member of the Chicago

this purpose. The edge of the dia-
mond is being sodded with heavy
blue grass sod taken from another

Baseball seems distined to be
born. again in Cedar Rapids, just
as it does in the other cities of the
league. Bunny fans failed to warm
up to the Three-Eye the last two
seasons, but with the change IN

of being ready to flock to the park

The feeling is perhaps keener in
the other cities, where league base

"Amby" Ambrose, member of last

the southern training season of the
Plow Boys? Confronted with daily
reports of defeats for their favor

stated that Bill Rafferty,, football
coach at Washington and Lee, has
stepped across the way to take up

should be noted that she will not
suffer by the departure of Raffer-
ty. For she has engaged Jimmy

coached the back field men at the

Incidentally he is supporting

The party was held at bay for short time but by means of diplomacy the oldtimer was finally induced to ac- company his friends quietly. The party left the Hauselman cabin on Little Moose creek on June 28 and reached town on the evening of July ?, coming by way of Poly chrome and Sable passes. ....
