Great Season is Predicted."
NEW YORK, Apr. 13. With vet
eran stars refurbished and new ones
. preparing to flash across the base
ball firmament, the major league tea
son of 11121 opened on eastern and
western diamonds today. While there
will be no changes in the well estab
lished circuits of either the1 National
or American Leagues, there will be
many new faces in the personnel -f
the 16 clubs composing the two or
ganizations. With the call of the umpires send
ing the players away ln their six
months' pennant chase, the National
league in-iugurated its 4(ith consecu
tive season as the senior oignnia
tion clubs played their initial game.-
early in 1870. I-n the American Lea
gue it marks the beginning of the
22nd season, as the junior league was
formed in 1900.
Notwithstanding the unprecedented
popularity of baseball during the past
two years, club owners and league of
ficials are firm in their belief that the
national sport is facing a still great
er period of prosperity in the months
to come and have made their plans
accordingly. Larger training squads
went south this spring than in many
years and every effort has been made
in utrpntrt ripn wi:ilf nnr In Vin'ri tht I
to strengthen weak spots in both the
offensive and defensive play 01 the
various clubs.
The teams included in the race for
. the pennant and their nicknames art:
The Chicago "Cubs," Philadelphia
"Phillies,"' Pittsburg "Pirates," New
York "Giants," St. Louis "Cardinals",
Cleveland "Indians." Chicago "White
Sox,'' New Y'ork "Yankees," St. Louis
"Browns," Boston 'Red Sox,'' and the
Detroit "Tigers."
