them to advance beyond first base

NEW YORK, April New
Workers were in for a rare treat at
their scheduled American League
season opener at the Yankee
Stadium today should George Case
happen to be in the same rarin'-to-
go mood he was in yesterday and
should Roger Wolff even ap-
proach the pitching plane reached
by Early Wynn as the Mats on their
home lot evened their inaugural
series with Philadelphia's Athletics.
AS co-show stealers Case and
Wynn certainly could be ranked
among the best on their perform

Connie Mack's club, 5 to o. More
of such base running, hitting and

Gets on Base 5 Times.
All Case did was get on base every
one of the five times he stepped to
the plate, pilfer second twice and
carry across two of his clubs five
tallies.
A bobble by Dick Siebert, first
baseman of the AS, got George on
the base path at the outset of the
Mats attack, but thereafter he
batted his way to the initial sack.

round, did so again in the fifth,

batter who broke up the inaugural
game for the Mats Tuesday, combed
Wynn for singles as the pitcher fed
the AS an assortment including
plenty of speed, not a few curves
and even some weird screwballs with
which he mixed confusing change
Of pace.
1t was no wonder that Wynn, who
last season was the Mats top WIN
ming pitcher with 18 victories, rolled
up his eighth triumph In Success
sion over Mack's Minions. On what
he showed yesterday, Early should
have other clubs also reeling this
year.
Driven to Cover,
Baffled for four rounds by Chris
topher's pitching, the Mats fell upon
the big Mackman suddenly in the
fifth to drive him to cover. Case
opened with a hit and everybody
had a turn at bat before the ses-
sion ended. Singles by George
Myatt and Stan Spence filled the
bases. Then Bob Ortiz got hold of
the ball and sent it soaring over
the center fielder's head for a triple.
Only Case and Myatt tailed
however. as Spence was held up by
Coach Zeb Milan after rounding
third and became an easy rundown
victim.
1t seems that Milan was right in
his Judgment, though. Myatt had
chung to second when it first ap-
peared the drive would be caught,
Had Wheaton made the catch,
George probably could have scored
from second, SO deep was the clout
That, Of course, checked Spence and
as he rounded third with the ball
coming in it looked as though he
couldn't get home.
Milan Takes Booing.
So Milan tagged him and took q
booing from the fans as result. As
the play went, however, Spence
perhaps could have scored stand
ing up.
Ortiz wasn't without blame in
the play. He ran head down, never
looking to find out what was going
on ahead of him, and tore into
third. Maybe he should wear blink
ers and have a tight rein.
The Mats weren't through, though.
Joe kuhel doubled to score Ortiz
and send Christopher from the
mound and Gilberto Torres greeted
Scheib with single, tallying Kuhel.
Cases single and steal, wild pitch
and Spence's deep hoist in the sixth
provided a happy ending for the
Mats. Perhaps they are destined
to hit effectively as Skipper Os
Bluege has contended all along they
will,

PHILADELPHIA, April II. - The
owners of IL National Football
League clubs. having ruled out ex-
pansion until after the war, today
looked into the possibilities of con-
tracing their circuit to escape the
difficulties of an unwieldy program.
The professional league yesterday
tabled five applications for men,
bership from four cities. These ap-
plications may be revived at any
time the league wishes, leaving the
road open for expansion to the West
Coast If it seems desirable or neces-
sary to meet competition. The club
owners made it clear, however, that
they don't plan to increase their cir
cult until after the war.
The unsuccessful bidders for fran
chises, whose $25,000 forfeits were
returned, were Capt. Ernie Nevers
and Anthony Morabito of San Fran
cisco, Abe Watner of Baltimore, Sam
Cordovano of Buffalo and an un=
named Los Angeles man.
Throughout the first two days of
the meeting there has been a strong
undercurrent of rumors that mergers
such as last years Philadelphia
Pittsburgh combination might be the
leagues solution to its schedule
problems. The new Boston Yankees,
with little player talent in sight,
have indicated that they would
merge with another club, provided
that all games would be played in
Boston. Otherwise the only support
for the rumors was found in the club
owners optimism about the posi-
bility of ending the meeting today.
Any such changes must be made
today before the 1914 schedule is
drawn up.
At yesterdays session the league
passed the changes proposed by the
Rules Committee, including ban on
out -of-bounds kickoffs and permis-
sion for coaches to direct their teams
from the bench, and made several
changes in the constitution and by
laws.
The most important of these
changes were requiring each club to
establish ticket price scale for the
entire season, forbidding clubs to
exchange motion pictures and scout
ing reports on common opponents,
forbidding officials to discuss the
ability of teams or players with their
opponents and ruling out all-league
or all-opponent teams picked by any
one connected with the circuit.

Victory Over Eastern
Is No. 7 for Could:
Central Scores

Western is living up to predictions
that 1t would be one of the top
teams in this years high school
baseball series. The Red Raiders
combination of good pitching, field
ing and hitting already has them in
front with two straight victories,
both over well-rated opposition.
Yesterday they defeated Eastern's
defending champions, 7-5, at
Western.
A mild upset was registered in
yesterdays other series game when
Central took advantage of fielding
| flaws to turn back Roosevelt, 4-3.
Both Tech and Wilson have a
chance to go into a first-place tie
with the Red Raiders today, and are
favored to do so in meeting Anacos-
tia and Coolidge, respectively.
Change Playoff System.
Adding interest to the race was
yesterdays action by school officials
in adopting new baseball cham
pionship playof system. Instead of
the best two-out- of three series at
the end of the season between the
first and second place teams, the top
four teams will engage in a playoff
series similar to the one used with
such success in basket ball.
Yesterdays Western-Eas game
brought Gene Gould his second
series pitching victory, with the kind
of hurting that's helping to make
the Raiders serious contenders.
Other big factor in Westerns win
was Left Fielder Nick Chanaka, who
whipped a throw to the plate that
cut off the tying run. The Red
Raiders showed early hitting power,
piling up four runs in the first in
ming, and if they can keep their
combination clicking, they're bound
to finish near the top.
