InlS nrSt association staggered
along for five years, some clubs drop
ping out and others replacing them
In 1875 13 teams competed in the pen
nant race. Managed by the players
themselves, the association was not
well managed, and more than once it
threatened to collapse. In the Win
ter of 1856 representatives of eight
clubs (Boston, Hartford, MutuaIs,
Athletics, st. Louis, Cincinnati. Louis
Vile and Chicago) met in New York
and, declaring a new deal. organized
new circuit-the National League.
Morgan G.. Bulkley of Hartford was
named president and Nicholas E.
Young of Washington secretary
treasurer. Players no longer had any
voice in the management of the game,
nor have they been allowed any voice
at any time since.
At various times since 1876 the Ma
tional League has had to engage in
bitter fights with antagonistic leagues
over players services and salaries,
territorial rights and base ball con-
troll. but with the single exception
of the American League, every COM
petitive organization that sprung up
was outclassed by the older league.
which, now in its fiftieth year, is
healthier than ever before in it's
career.
The first National League pennant
campaign was staged in 1S76-the
year of Americas centennial. Chicago
won the pennant, the first of II Ma
tional flags to be acquired at inter
walls for the metropolis of the West
by A. G. Spalding, Capt. Anson and
Frank L. Chance
Three thousand people saw the Ma
tional Leagues single opening game,
which was played on Saturday, April
%, 1876, at Philadelphia. Boston won
in the ninth, scoring twice in that
round on hits off Alonzo Knight by
Murnane, Schafer and Manning. This
Murnane was the same Timothy who
in later years ranked as dean of base
ball writer's. In the last half of the
ninth, with the tying run on second,

A. A. TEAMS In GOOD

CHICAGO, April Interpretations
for record-breaking attendances at
the opening today of the American
Association pennant race at Louis
vile. Indianapolis, Toledo and Colum-
bus were made.
With the exception of the Kansas
City Blues, meeting the Indians in
Indianapolis under handicaps caused
by injuries, all the teams of the cir

Greater New York's major league
teams called upon their pitching aces
to bring them victories.
Manager Miller Higgins announced
his intention to pitch Urban Shocker,
the former st. Louis moundsman,
against the world champion Wash
ington club, while Brooklyn's choice
for the slab in the Dodgers opener
against the Philadelphia Nationals
was "Dazzy'' Vance.
Manager Fletcher favored Jimmy
Ring to pitch for the Phillies, with
Henline behind the plate. De Berry
will receive from Vance.
Steve O'Neill, the former Cleveland
and Boston veteran, was scheduled
to handle Shocker's curves behind the
plate There was a possibility that a
last-minute switch in Higgins plan
might find Sam Jones in the box for
the Yankees, in which event Wally
Schang would do the receiving.
There was no chance of Walter
johnson getting the twirling assign
ment for the Nationals, Manager
Harris announced.
The Yankees planned to welcome
sc, 900 fans with music by three bands,
and arrangements were made for the
