imal Race Hot Fight Is Expected.
XEW YORK, April 14. Big do-
a the ball lots of tUo National
m& American leagues. .
Ftovidiug tight skies avail every
wlrnr, eight umpires will each "toss
t a new white ball," eight umpires
mli. each iii his finest voico cry
Vlay ball T' and in eight cities the
porting writers will chronicle (lint
Mbc jpuno was on." At least these
qjBQtations hare dono son-ice from
immemorial and thero is no
why thor should bo discarded
t Hus late date.
Xfcis is the day when nil tho teams
ee&al and that marks the initial
pwactare or tho initial impetus to the
Afes e several million fans.
Jot ike National league, Pittsburg
'-w3l fee the attraction nt St. Louis,
OttKo at Cincinnati, New York at
i and Brooklyn at Philadelphia,
ia tho American, Cleveland will
text the ball rolling" another
iufuljoB whose oge commands re-
t Detroit, St. Louis in Chi-
, Boston in New York and Philn-
AJphla in Washington.
Waat will the end bcT Call arouno
mb October and the answer will prob
aKj be ready.
Xevcr at the opening of a season
lac it seemed more hazardous to ron
tons an opinion on the outcome than
Ass year. In the National league this
Zm 4se to the fact that the return of
Cbieber Johnny Kling has made the
-time pennant-winning Cubs
intact and the doubt, more or
general 'except in Pittsburg, us
1 whether the Pirates can again
WW mt mi the steady gait they set
last year, a gait that landed them
aaaexpectedly in first place.
Is the Aemrican league the rapid
development last year of Phil a del -
and Boston and the hard tussle
Detroit had to repeat for the
second time her pennant perform-
tmr.K, makes the picking of a cham-
giiradup team this year the merest
jliHCOowork.
About the only thing that docs
assured is that tho first divis-
teams in each league will not
Effer materially from thoso of last
yftacc Pittsburg, Chicago, New York
and Cincinnati again look to be cer
.takities in the National for the up--yer
tier, while in the American, De
troit, Philadelphia and Boston ap
pear reasonably safe, with either
3few York or Cleveland having a good
fcance to wrest from Chicago her
Jkerth in the upper division.
Jis stand-patters, tho pennant pos
aife3itics in both of the big lengues
lave Joe Cannon bentcn to a pulp. In
flhe National, practically no changes
aqspcar in the line-ups of the leading
fleams, while Detroit, Philadelphia
xbA Boston in the American haven't
facmd enough new blood worth men
cwcung. New York, Chicago and
Cleveland, however, have sewed sev
eral new patches to-their qld gar
SMcnts and arc hopeful that they will
stick.
With practically no changes in the
personnel of tho leading teams, the
festion simply resolves itself down
fa the proposition of whether these
slayers will improve over their 1909
form. Cincinnati's chanecs are much
Brighter that some critics are willing
admit, duo to this vory fact. Last
yer tho Reds broke a lot of new men
.info (the famo and they demonstrated
ttat they were of National league
caliber. That they should play a
flmnger -amc this year is admitted
fcy baseball students.
.Pittsburg can hnrdly expect to do
vtay "better than she did last year, and
whether she wina tho pennant again
"mH Iupcnd largely on the iinprove
HKilt qr failure of improvement
sfcown by the other clubs. Chicago
. ftas n iteam of veterans and many are
iJjKTBdicting that tho team is duo for a
iskrwing-down, oven if Johnny Kling,
vbo used to be called the brains of
Mke Chicago "works," is back on the
jot. Steinfeld, Tinker, Shcckard
3mk1 Schulte showed last year that
tfttey at least are getting no bettor
sad it would not be, surprising if tho
wfctcxaa twirlers oamo "untied" this
-season.
Now York pins her hopes for a
Wlter position than last year to an
expected improvement in the work of
Pitchers Larquard and and Amos,
tk promising work of Drucko and
Klawitter, two now pitchers, and the
bolstering of tho outfield by tho sub
stitution of Dovore for McCormick.
Tn tho infield, Morklo, tho man who
flueo upon a time didn't touch sec
m&, will bo at first baso in place of
fce vetornn Tennoy, nnd tho foxy
s4ay nnd gingery methods of nneient
Wed may be missed to such nn ex
tent Hint ho will soon cease to
warm tho bench.
Not ninny persons nro picking Do-
; troit to win a fourth straight pen
nant in the American. 1 1 ml either
Boston or Philadelphia played early
in tho season tho way Ihoy did at the
finish, the penunut would never have
gono to Tigortown, and it is reason
able to suppose that these teams will
strike n winning stride enrly in the
season this year and not permit tho
Jennings crew to obtain such n com
uiniidiug lend.
The Boston American league team
this year, however, is without the
sen-ices of hor biggest asset of a
year ago, Manager Fred Lake, who
this year has been transferred to the
hapless Boston "Doves." Lake was
given credit last year for much of
the Red Sox' success, nnd it isn't on
record that Patsy Donovan, his suo
oessor, ever gingered up a bunch of
players the way that Lake did. Fans
irenernlly nre commiserating with
Lake that a better fnto than tho Bos
ton Nationals did not befall him this
year.
Both the Cleveland and Now York
teams of the Americans have shown
much better in thoir spring practice
than Comiske's White Sox, who nro
virtually n now team this year, with
throe new guardians for tho inner
works, new outer pickets and several
new battery combinations. Connie
Mack almost won a pennant last year
with his renovated team, and . the
Red Sox set a sizzling pace until
near the end with a team that prom
ised no more than the Whito Sox now
promise. So it won't do to count
Comiskey out of it.
As for St, Louis, Boston and
Brooklyn in tho National, and Wash
ington and St. Louis in tho American,
thero doesn't seem to bo a derrick in
existence stronr enough to lift them
out of their recent berths near tho
bottom of the heap.
An added interest in the Nation
al's race this year is tho adoption of
n strong policy regarding the umpir
ing and the protection of the um
pires. President Lynch bids fair to
follow tho example of Ban Johnson
of the American in this respect, nnd
it is predicted that tho day of umpire
baiting is forever past.
DEPUTY ULRICH GRABS
CALIFORNIA FUGITIVE
B. T. Buck, wanted at San Ber
nardino, Cal., for criminal assault,
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Ul-
nch yesterday afternoon.
Buck had been in this city for sev
eral days, but the officers had not
succeeded in locating him until yes
terday. Ho did not deny his identity, but
refuses to talk of the crime of which
he is accused.
The San Bernardino officers have
been notified and will be here after
him in a few days.,

NEW YORK, April 14. Declaring
that Tnft "degraded not only tho
chief magistracy," but the American
public, by replying to n cablegram
from Signor Cnretti, ninyor of Porto
Muurizio, who welcomed Roosevelt,
nnd then telegraphed and told him nil
nbout it, tho Now York World, which
has consistently supported tho Tn't
administration, bitterly assails Tnft
in its leading editorial today for his
action.
In rcplv to Cnretti's cablegram.
Taft wired tho following reply Mon
day, April 11:
"Roccived your courteous telegram
announcing that Roosevelt has ar
rived and was received enthusiastic
nlly by the whole population nnd that
tho city was proud to welcome him.
In reply I beg to nssurc you nnd nil
your countrymen that tho American
people are very grateful for and
greatly appreciate tho reception tho
Italians, from tho sovereign to tho
humblest subject, accorded our most
distinguished citizen."
In commenting on tho Tnft mess
age, the World's editorial says:
"When Tnft was nominated as the
Rcpublioan candidate for president,
tho World asked the plain question,
whether, if he wns elected, ho was
to bo presidont or merely a proxy.
Sinco then various opinions have
been expressed on many phases of
Tnft s official career. But concern
ing tho message, there can bo prob
ably but one conclusion.
"It was an amazing, humiliating
expression, it degraded not only uu;
chief magistracy, but the American
republic. It wns weak, sycophnntish,
fnlse.
"Theodore Roosevelt is not 'Pres
ident Roosevelt,' nnd a man who is
not the president must not bo our
'most distinguished citizen,' nt least
in the estimation of the man to whom
that great distinction belongs."
Another Fruit Pest.
Tho clover leaf beetlo is tho latest
pest to nttac!: the fruit, trees of tho
Yakima valley. It has been d!scoY
cred In quantities In tho model or
chard of tho Northern Pacific nt Pros-
zor and in surrounding orchards,
Warnings have gono out to all tho
fruitgrowers of that valley, with des
criptions of tho post, its r.ctlons, and
suggestions for a romodv tho koro
Bono emulsion which ttio superintend
ent of tho Prosser orchard Is using
with good results. Tho beetlo Is about
half an Inch long, dull brewn In col
or, with an indefinitely ctrlped wing
cover, and a short, Etout beak. It
is found at tho baso of trees and in
tho soil about tho roots.'
Tho hemispherical scalo; "an en
emy moro deadly than tho San Joso
or scurvy, has turned up at Walla
Walla, and Entomologist Molaniler of
tho state col lego at Pullman has sent
out descriptions and warning to all
fruit districts.
