Scouts Help at Base Ball Opening.
1t may be that Manager Milan
could have opened the base ball sea-
son at Griffith Park without the as
sistance of the Boy Scouts. but no
one can deny that the twenty-five
or thirty Eagle Scouts. who acted as
guard of honor for the two clubs IN
heir parade across the field, added
color to the occasion. There were no
more enthusiastic supporters Of the
Nationals in the crowd than those
same Eeagle Scouts, when, as guests
OF the management. they found places
IN front of the grandstand. from
where every play could be seen.
The dignity assumed in the march
across the field for the flag raising
was quickly lost when the first run
was scored and those eagles shouted
until their throats were hoarse as
run followed run.
