Two veterans, Ernie Goozeman

BOARDS CLEANED
FOR OPENING OF
MAJOR LEAGUES
Scandals and Swapping
of Players Forgotten as
First Game Nears.
By HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April ll.--Disposal
of the Hornsby case puts baseball
back Oh the playing field after q
winter spent in turbulent official
offices and investigating chambers.
With iris Speaker and Ty Cobb
cleared of scandal charges and with
I!ornsby's position with the New
! ork Giants now secure by settle
mcnt of his stock fight, there is
nothing to keep the boys from play
ing ball tomorrow without any cx-
ira pressure.
Owners Of the majcr league clubs
predict another successful season.
If competition encourages bust
ness, the cash register oughtto sing
because the two pcnEant races viii
,ook to be as tight as they could
be made if the dope is correct.
Five of the eight clubs in the
National League have chances to
win the pennant with the Pitts
burgh Pirates. the ST Louis Card
inaIs, the Cincinnati Reds and the
New York Giants very closely
grouped in strength.
At least four clubs in the Amer
lean League race are strong posi-
bilitics, the Philadelphia Athletics,
thc New York Yankees, the Wash
lngtou Senators and the Cleveland
Indians.
The Pirates and Giants are being
backed heaviest in the National
League speculation. The Athletics
arc the outstanding favorites in
the American League.
f Five New Managers
The American League with five
new managers and a raft Of changes
in playing strength offers problems
TO pickcrs ard it seems almost any
thing can happen to upset calcn-
lations.
The Athletics, however, seem to
be in better shape to survive ba'l
breaks than any other club. The
breaks, as usual, will be big fac
tors.
1t is the opinion Of those who
have given close attention 10 it and
vs. ho base their opinion on obscrva
tion that if baseball suffers from
Il business standpoint this season it
will not be because of the winter
scandals. The effect of the sean
dial talk may have created more in
tcrcst than ever in the game.
From n technical standpoint the
game ought to be about the sam"
as the niagnatcs were too busy with
other things during the winter tc
tinker with the playing rules o.
make any admitted changes in thu
| ball
In s6mc individual eases, such as
with the Pittsburgh Pirates the
game may be little bit faster
than before, but thcrc arcn' t
enough Youngsters to make any
marked change in the speed of the
game or tC cause Il general change
in managerial tactics.

Merger Of the local street car and
bus companies on the basis of a
total valuation Of $50, 100000 Is the
major feature of Harley p. Wilson's
plan which he made public today in
"a letter to the Public Utilities Com.
mission.
This valuation basis Is reached
on the income of the companies dur
ing the year 1925, to which is added
81 ZOO, 900, which it is estimated will
be saved annually as result Of more
economical operation of the merged
companies.
A cash fund of $2,7OO,0GD would be
provided on which the new company
would operate.
The new company would be en-
titled to an annual income of 3d..
$4,000 on its valuation. This re.
turn, which would be guaranteed, is
more than 100000 annually than
they make at present.
