" ' ' opening Game in Gotham
-New York, April 10. Boston de
feated New York in the first game of
the season here today -before a. big
crowd by a score of 8 to 0. The usual
opening day ceremonies. were omitted
with the exception that Mayor Gaynor
threw out the first' ball. Sunless
skies and a cold wind made condi
tions unpleasant alike-for players and
spectators.
-vPerdue held the , home club at his
mercy,, and the champions made only
two singles. Not one of McGraw's
men got further than second base.
Boston started to hit Tesreau in the
fourth, and. from that inning on they
rapped the ball : hard. Crandall was
slaughtered in the ninth inning. Ma
ranville, the .recruit shortstop Of the
visitors, was the bright star of the
game, both in the field and at bat.

Jtf inneapolis, Minn., April 10 . The
smallpox scare - precipitated among
the ball players of the Minneapolis
cliib of the American Association prac
tically was dissipated tonight. City
health . physicians declared Pitcher

Took Part in Opening Game at Wash
ington Yesterday Score 2 to 1
Washington, 'Apilil 10. President
Wilson forgot about the tariff and mat
ters of State for two hours today and
watched Washington defeat the New
York team of the American League,
by a score of 2 to 1 in the opening
baseball game of the season here. He
tossed the first ball from the grand
stand, according to custom.
Vice President Marshall, members
of the cabinet. Senators, Representa
tives and a great number of official
folk were there a notable part of a
crowd of 15,000 people wha. filled the
ball park.
Bundled in a heavy fur-lined, over
coat, the President sat with,his daugh
ter, Miss Eleanor, and Secretary Tu
multy in a box to the right of home
plate. He was an interested specta
tor, applauding and cheering frequent
ly' as the game proceeded. The weath
er was raw and the skies cloudy. Mr.
Wilson has always been a baseball
.'fan," being a frequent visitor at the
college games at Princeton and him
self a player in his youth. Charles
Sterrett, who played first base for
New York, was one of his pupils at
Princeton three years ago.
" The President was cheered enthu
siastically by the crowd. He acknowl
edged the greeting, turned down the
brim of his brown fedora hat and sat
down to watch the game. New York
scored in the first inning when Dan
iels was hit by a pitched ball, went
to second on Gandil's muff of a hot
grounder from vWolter and tallied on
Hartzell's single.
The Washington team got men on
bases frequently after that but never
was able to reap any gain from it un
til the seventh. In that inning, Ain
smith, the local catcher, was hit by
a pitched ball though Frank Chance,
the New York manager, protested
from the bench that he had projected
his arm deliberately. Shanks got to
first safely on a high throw by Mc-
Connell, the New York twirler, to
Sterrett. McBride sacrificed, advanc
ing both men. Walter Johnson fanned
but Moeller cracked out a single to
right that scored two runs and gave
the Washington team the game.
For an early season game there
were few ' errors and the game ' did
not lack in exciting plays.
The President stayed, throughout
the nine innings and then autographed
several baseballs for the players.

Says His Demands on Detroit Are Not
Unreasonable
Augusta, Ga., April 10. "When
President Navin accents my offer I
will report at once and am in shape
to jump right into the game," tonight
declared Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the
Detroit American '"hold out.
Cobb, who arrived here this after
noon, declined to divulge the nature
or his latest "offer to the manage
ment.
My demands are not exorbitant,'
he said, "and President Navin has
told me that I am worth all I ask
but the Detroit management is unable
to meet tne salary demands, it l am
worth it I ought to be paid what I
ask."
, Cobb denied emphatically that any
kind of an agreement has been reached
between himselt and the Detroit man
agement. The fact that he has called
off the games scheduled for this week
for his "all-.star" team, he says, should
not be construed to mean that he has
reached any decision.

Above, left to riaht: Johnny Evers
and Jimmy Callahan. Below: Charley
Dooin-and Joe Birmingham.
Although there are many who look
with doubt upon his ability to manage
such, a troublesome bunch of athletes
as the Chicago Cubs, Johnny Evers is
expected to niake a good showing
amohg the leaders in this year's Na
tional. League race. 1 Johnny himself
declares that if Pittsburg helps him to
keep, the Giants from running away he
thinks he will have a good chance of
skinning in ahead of the whole bunch
in the final sprint for the pennant.
Jimmy Callahan, as pilot of the Chi
cago White Sox, is credited with be
ing one of the cleverest leaders in his
organization, and as he has a stronger
team, than ever this season he has
hopes - of landing the pennant, while
Washington, Philadelphia and Boston
are i slashing away at one another.
Charley Dooin's Philadelphia Nation
als is a team that can be classed with
the strongest in the older organization
and. if his men. manage to avoid going
to the hospital in squads, as hereto

a National League championship for

champions lost to the Athletics, of
Philadelphia,' in the opening game of
the season today. 9 to 10. Mayor Fitz
gerald put the ball into play from the

last of these tallies by stealing home.
Coombs developed poor form after
three hitless Boston innings, the Red
