Six cities of the major basebail

Yesterday to greet their teams for the
first time this year and there was
greet happiness in every contest for
in each the home club won.
Usually at these opening games
there are bands, mayors, soldiers
and usually the home team suffers de
feat. But this young season already
has proved unusual in many ways.
Even the weather man was invited to
yesterdays festivities and he was ac-
companied by Miss Spring. who en-
joycd the first contests she has visit
ed this year.
Ira Flagstead of the Boston Red
SOx added three hits to his steadily
mounting total. Two doubles and a
single were his contribution to his
clubs vain effort.

two good pitching performances. Zach
airy hurled for the st. Louis Browns
and gave them victory over the White
Sox when he allowed only four hits
MOgridge. performing for the Braves,
granted Philadelphia only six.
Eddie ROmmel was the mound hero
of the day. with a threc-hit conquest
of the Senators, American League
champions.
Frank Gibson, pinch hitting for the
Braves. singled to put across the win
ming run in the ninth.
Joe Harris of the Senators, Earl
Combs and Bob Meusel of the Yam

poled out home-ruus.
GET TO COVELESKIE.
Stanley Coveleskie started for
Washington against Philadelphia and
before the second inning had ended
his opponents had scored four runs.
Harris drove his homer in the fourth
but, after that, ROmmel was invinci-
Bile. A pinch single, a walk and a
single by Goose GOsln gave the Sena-
tors another in the final inning. The
Athletics won, TO 2.
For the second time this season
the Browns won a game and for the
first time their hitters started 10
work. Jacobsons four-base smash was
one of u safeties registered in a 5-tO-

Faber departed in the sixth after al

Cleveland encountered Gus Johns

PANCH0 MEANS
1T this
Time

After year of comparative mac
tivity, Kid Pancho. just about the
classiest chunk of diminutive fighting
machinery ever produced in San An
tonic, has decided to return to the
ring in earnest. He finally has CON
WINGED himself that be has the ability
TO accumulate a lot Of dinero in the
pugilistic business, and is not going
to pass it up any longer.
As the first step in his reorganized
assault on the boxing money marts.
Pancho is billed TO take on Kid Len
chO in one of the two ten-rOund bouts
on the card arranged by Lieutenant
II. W. Killpack for the opening of the
new Fort Sam Houston coliseum next
Thursday night. April %.
THIRD MEETING.
1t will be the third meeting between
PanchO and Lencho. Pancho took the
decision in their first bout. but lost
the second on a foul. PanchO says he
is going to demonstrate his superiority
cOnclusively this time. and then leave
for other boxing circles, where the big
purses aboundeth.
Formerly a flyweight. around H.
pounds, Pancho has taken on weight
until he now scales close to 120
pounds. He figures that he always
was weakened by keeping his weight
so low. Pancho has just turned his
twenty-first birthday.
Mickey Genaro, the little Connect
cut bantam who fights on Jack Shell
tons card Friday night, declared fol.
lowing his workout with Pancho Wed
nesday afternoon that the local scrap
per is much faster than he was when
fighting in the East two years ago.

 Seldovia is generally quiet during the winter months, and it is so at the present time. The winter popu- lation is estimated at about three hundred and they are all splendid people, Rev. Graham stated, ire spective of church relations.
 MT. Tumble, who was to have been in charge of the local musical program at the Methodist church yesterday morning, slipped on an icy walk yesterday and was unable to carry on, so Rev. Graham, at few moments notice, rendered a sermon which was much appreciated by the congregation.

REV. T. GRAHAM RETURNS FROM
 TRIP SELDOVIA

Thomas Philip Graham, minister of the Seward Methodist church, re- ceived his first real Alaskan jolt this morning, he stated to a Gate way representative, when one of the leading citizens of the town asked him when he was going over to Seldovia. The jolt part came in at this point for evidently his recent absence at Seldovia of two or three weeks had not been noticed by the local man. However, Rev. Graham IS a good-natured man and he freely admits the joke is on him. He re- turned to Seward yesterday morning on the steamer Starr following his first visit to the thriving Cook Inlet town and as he states it, was treat ed royalty by the residents of Sel- dovia for whom he has achieved a decided liking"
 Two church services were held in the chapel at Seldovia, on Sunday and Wednesday. The Sunday service was attended by S3 citizens and the "Wednesday service by 52. This was quite remarkable, Rev. Graham be- Iieved, owing to the small number ot residents. However, though the church is conducted by Methodists they work in the interests of the other Protestant institutions as well Rev. Graham is already looking for ward with pleasure to his next trip to the Westward. His congregation at Seldovia is likewise hoping that he may return soon and often there after.
 Rev. Graham had the novel exper- ience while at Seldovia to preach
