Q
After one of the stormiest winters
ever experienced by the magnates
of organized baseball. the successful
opening-rot the major league season
on Tuesday last brought relief both
to them and to the supporters of the
gume.
.m-
Right at the start In each‘lengne
iliillgs began to happen that made the
falls in most cities forget that the
business end of baseball had been in
upheaval for months. Shell. for in.
stance. were the winning- spurts of
Brooklyn and Philadelphia in the Na~
tional League and the brilliant work
of the Chicago. Washington and New
York teams in the American. Equal-
ly interesting were the unsuccessful
struggles of the world’s champion
Athletics and the «National League
champion Giants to win even a single
game during the first .week of play.‘
Taking the American League the
velopluents, the playing of the White
Sox, who are showing the other clubs
the way, took many watchers of the
game by surprise, as there was some
idea that the Sex would find them-
selves stale after their ”Round the
World” trip. Callahan has already
shown Scott. Benz and Cicotte in
brilliant box work. with Russell giving
indications of being ready to help
soon. alld some twirling recruits in
promising shape. If "Big Ed" Walsh
rounds into form again the pitching
staff of the White Sox seems likely to
. sprove one of the most formidable in
baseball ,. "
Clark Griffiths‘ Whahiugtons so far
have shown tllemseiv co to be the same
hustling class as last year, when they
landed next to the flag winners. Only
(iroom is gone of their 1913 boxmen.
lint the big fact is that the. incom-
parable Walter Johnson is still a
member of the team and starting with
rush that indicates the probability
or their being the husky Kansan‘s best
year in the game. Already the team
has scored two shutouts. with 'John-
son pitching one and Joe dioehiing,
last year's recruit wonder, the other.
Griffith's men ooze confidence and are
proving hard to down.
As for the New Yorks;" the first
games played by Frank Channels
young team showed it far ahead of
the collection of misfits with which
he started the 1913 season. There
"was power enough in its attack to run
up a dozen runs against the world's
champions in two games, while Yan—
kee boxmen held the Philadelphians
_ to a brace of tallies. It took Walter
Johnson to stop the Chance men and
spoil their hitherto clean record; ASup-
porters oi‘ the speedy New Yorkers
are already beginning ‘to voice claims
on a first divisionplace.
The week-end found St. touts, De
trait and Boston tied for fourth place
with even division of victories and de-
feats. The Browns did well with De»
troit. but fall before Chicago in the
opening game of the series, yesterday.
