SOUTHERN OPENS ALSO

The 1922 baseball season for the
major leagues and for two of the
more important minor leagues-the
Southern association and the Ameri;
can association-got under way to-
day
President Harding was on the pro-
gram to throw out the first ball in
the American league opening at
Washington between New York and
Washington clubs. Hoyt was slated
to pitch for the American league
champions, and Mogridge was eX-
pected to take the mound for the
Senators.
Judge Lands, baseball commits
sioner, held seat in the stands at
Comiskey park, home of the Chicago
Americans, where the Sox and
Browns will begin the season this
afternoon.
Warm but overcast skies ushered
in the day in Greater New York,
where. the Giants, National league
and worlds Champions, and the
Brooklyn Dodgers were scheduled to
play. McGraw's team was without
the services of Frank Frisch, second
baseman, suffering with an infected
foot, and Johnny Rawlings, who play
ed brilliantly in last years world
series, replaced him. Douglas or
Nehf We're considered as the pitch
ers most likely to face the Dodgers
while "Dutch" Reuther, whose early
work has shown remarkable form
was looked upon as the Brooklyn
hurler.

Johnson Charges
War Department
a National Fraud
my Associated Press)

Washington, April 12.-Charges
that the war department "has sold
property and is today selling proper
ty at ridiculously and criminally low
prices to favored customers, conceal
ing from congress and deliberately
misrepresenting the facts" were
made in the house yesterday by Rep
resentative johnson, republican,
South Dakota.
As "proof of the fact that the war
department is misrepresenting the
facts to congress, Mr.. johnson charg-
ed that a report by Secretary Weeks
relative to sale of property, trans
mitted to the house last December
was "the most fraudulent, mislead-
ing and criminally deceitful docu-
ment that was ever submitted to the
American congress"
Mr.. Johnson declared the evidence
he had obtaine dshowed that the
war department "is trying to control
the department of justice by putting
men who ought to be in the peniten-
tiary on the department of justice
payroll and asking congress to APP
propriate for it."

gers will start the season without the
services of Ty Cobb, who is suffer-
ing with an injury received in an ex-
hibition game in the south. Coveles-
kie probably will pitch for Cleveland
if the game is played, and Oldham
will be Cobb's selection.
The National league opening in
the west will bring together Chicago
and Cincinnati at Cincinnati and
St. Louis at st. Louis. Manager
Killifer will try to open for the Cubs
with victory by sending Grover
Cleveland Alexander to the box. Ep-
pa Rixey will be 'on the mound for
the Reds.
There was some uncertainty at st.
Louis in regard to battery selections,
but either Sherdell or Haines will
appear for the Cardinals and the
Pirates assignment will go to Coop
er, Adams or Glazner.
The Urban boys-Faber for the
White Sox and Shocker for the
Browns-were selected to oppose
each other at Chicago in the White
Sox-Browns game.
Managers of the pennant winners
in the big leagues were reticent. at
predicting victory again. Manager
McGraw believed his worlds cham
pions would repeat, but he qualified
his claims by saying the "breaks"
would be needed. Heinie Groh, he
said, had strengthened the Giants. He
believed New York, st. Louis, Pitts
burg and Boston had pennant
chances.
Miller Higgins, New York Ameri-
cans manager, admitted the loss of
Ruth and Meusel would be a handi-
cap to his team. Higgins looked for
close race between New York,
Cleveland, st. Louis and Washing
ton.
"The American association is look
ing forward to one of the best sea-
sons in it's history" Thomas J. Hick-
ey, president, said today. "Our cir
cult enjoyed good seasons in 1920
and 1921. This year I expect we
will be even more successful.
"With competition keen, interest in
the game at its pax and harmony
within the league, look for one of
the most successful and prosperous
seasons in the history of the South
ern association" John D.. Martin,
president, said. Prospects never
were brighter" he said. "From re-
ports / have received all of the clubs
will be stronger and indications point
to close race"

NEW COMPLICATIONS
IN PRIMARY LAW

Further complications have been
projected into the progress of the
primary election program, temporar-
lily delayed by reason Of the supreme
court action to determine whether or
not county clerks shall instruct the
voters in their respective jurisdiC
tions to vote for one or for two non
part san candidates in cases where
two are to be nominated, by the
discovery that the proceedings In all
likelihood will cut short the time
allowed by law for the absent voter
to prepare his ballot and file it with
the clerk.
Under the absent voter act, the
clector who desires to exercise his
franchise by virtue of It's provisions,
is entitled to receive his ballot from
the clerk fifteen days before the
election The statute permits him,
therefore, to demand and obtain his
ballot next Monday. Pending a de-
cision by the supreme court on the
mandamus proceeding to determine
the question of instruction to voters,
the printers throughout the state
who have the ballot contracts are
delaying the printing.
The mandamus writ was made re-
turnable today, and even should the
supreme court rule ON the question
from the bench, It is feared that
ballots will not be available for the
absent voter on that day, thus in.
fringing his rights.
