PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-Pitts-
burgh Steelers and the Chicago
Cardinals agreed late today to merge
for the 1914 national football season.
The league, which had asked the
merger as one way to avoid schedule
problems attendant upon an 11-team
circuit, Immediately gave its bless
ing to the move.
Pittsburgh-Chicago will play in
the Western division, but the Steel
ers, who merged last year with the
Philadelphia Eagles, made it clear
that they want to play as a single
team in the Eastern division after
this year.
Today's development will leave
the league with five teams in each
division. Boston, newest member,
would have made the elevnth team
but for the merger.
Go Back to Schedule Making.
League moguls went back to
schedule-making as soon as the
Steelers-Cardinals deal was an
nounced.
George Strickler, league publicity
director, announced that the merger
was necessary because it was "ab-
solutely impossible" to arrange a
schedule for II separate teams,

NEW YORK, April 22.-Hopeful
of getting an even break in the
weather-curtailed series here, Os
Bluege, after his clubs defeat today,
wasn't certain about his pitching
choice for tomorrow. Dutch Leon
ard, his knuckle-baller, originally
slated to take the hill for the Sun
day tusSle, is bothered by a back
ailment and must idle a day or two
longer. So either Mickey Haefner,
left-handed exponent of the knuc-
kle-ball or Milo Candini, fast ball
ing right-hander, will tackle the
world champions.
Ernie Bonham is Acting Manager
Art Fletcher's pick to do the hurting
against the Mats.
Haefner last year broke even in
his battling with the Yanks, win
ming two games against as many
losses. Candini scored a victory in
his lone fight to a decision with the
New YOrkS. Bonham beat the Mats
twice and also lost to them twice.
Candini as a likely pitcher may
seem surprising to those who saw
him take beating in the 18th in
ming from Philadelphia's AS in the
season inaugural In Washington.
Then he was nicked for a single
and double that offset the fine
pitching Johnny Niggeling had done
for II rounds. But his own errors
of omission contributed to Milo's
downfall and Bluege is convinced
the young right t-hander is far better
! than he then showed.
Leonard's ailment, according to
Trainer Mike Martin, Is nothing
serious. Heat treatments and mas
sage soon should relieve Dutch.
1t was strange infield the Yam
KEGS presented in their New York
inaugural. Nick Etten at first base
was the only holdover from last
year. George StirnWeiss, who opened
at shortstop last year for Manager
Joe Mccarthy, was in Joe Gordon's
old spot at second. Oscar Grimes,
utility player who saw mostly bench
service last season, held the Short

Crosetti. At third base was Don

Wolff Exp|odes
And Carrasque|
Is Easy Touch
Spence, Etten Homer;
Chandler Token Out;
Only $4,000 Attend
BY JOHN B. KELLER,
Star Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, April ga shaky
defense and whacky pitching marred
the Mats first tussle of the season
with the World Champion Yankees
and as result Blueges band fin
ished on the wrong end of 6-to-3
count.
For time it appeared the Mats
would get away with a victory in
the New York season inaugural that
drew less than 10000, something
they haven't done in campaign
start here in years They had lead
of 3 to with half the game gone,
then their infield defense fell apart
to give the Yarks three unearned
runs and their pitching simply went
to pieces.
Stan Spence got them away wing
ing with 344-foot homer into the
lover right field stand in the first
inning off Spud Chandler, Yankee
starting pitcher, but Nick Etten
matched this blow with an even
longer one into the same stand in
the fourth to start the Yankees on
their winning way.
Etten's homer was off the
knuckle-balling Roger Wolff, who
after that blow, never was the strong
hurler he had been. He was lifted
after six rounds with the Yanks
having record of eight hits for
| three runs against him. Two OF
those runs that crossed in the sixth
were unearned, a wild throw ovei
first by Shortstop Johnny Sullivan
leading to them.
Yanks Get to Carrasquel.
In the meantime the Mats haC
combed Chandler for six safeties
and three tallies. Chandler gave
way to pinch-batter in the sixth
leaving the decision to AL Carrasque
and Atley Donald.
Three hits were all Donald yielded
but the Yanks in two innings made
Carrasquel the loser by mixing s
double and two singles with lurit
throw by the usually dependabl,
Joe Kuhel and balk. That ball
capped Washington pitching per
formances that already had marret
the box score with a pair of wilt
pitches which led to scores.
1t was Chambers first pitch tt
him that Spence hit into the lowe
right-field stand to get the Nat
off to a one-run lead in the openine
inning, then scoring stopped unit
the fourth.
Spence opened the attack thi
time with a line single to cente
and Ortiz got on when hit by /;
Chandler pitch. Then Kuhel, who's
double in the second round had beer
wasted, put down a sacrificial bunt
Chandler grabbed the ball and whel
his throw to third was too late t.

Spence crossed, however, as Tore
drilled into double play.

The Yanks in their half of thi
inning went after Wolff as though
they would tear him apart. Ettel

Before Mayor La Guardia tossed

their World Series emblems in the

nally was planned as part Of the

Lands slated to do the honors,
but the commissioner of baseball
as well as William Harridge, presi-

There were two flag raisings to

Mayor Fiorello La Guardia made
the season inaugural toss. Busy
with civic affairs, he didn't wait to
see the game.
Babe Ruth, OCCUPYING a box near
the Yankee dugout, created more of
a furor than the Mayor. Youngsters
sWarmed about him seeking auto
graphs, and the photographers, who
had hardly given the Little Flower
tumble, worked their cameras
overtime on the Bambino.
But for spectacular stop by
Myatt, Etten's drive in the first
inning would have been good for
two bases at least. The second
sacker leaped to his right for one
handed stab just above the ground
but Etten just beat the off balance
throw to first for a hit 1t was the
best fielding play of the day.

sidered last night. This would have
exempted one Eastern club from
the usual home -and-home ar
rangements and allowed it to play
each other club once. The hitch
in this plan was that one club
would have had to remain idle each
Sunday and satisfactory dates for
the rover" could not be worked
out.
The combined team, as yet un-
named, will get the use of any avail
able players from the draft lists
of both clubs. The leagues waiver
rule also was amended so that un-
til the teams have played their
first three games, the order of
claiming players will be that of the
first round of the draft this year.
The Boston Yankees thus will get
first choice and the Chicago Pitts
burgh team, second, at the begin
ming of the season. After three
games, the clubs will choose accord
ing to their positions in current
standings.

In accepting the merger plan,
Bert Bell, co-owner of the Steelers,
said that his club preferred to re-
main independent, but since the
league had helped him last year by
permitting Pittsburgh to combine
with Philadelphia, he was willing
to do anything that would benefit
the boys.
The Cardinals, who lost all their
10 games last fall, were chosen as
the Western team in the combine
because Cleveland, inactive last
year, is trying to re-establish its
identity and in order to give the
Western division better balanced
strength.
