FORT WAYNE VS GRAND RAPID?)' 3 Open The Central Baae Ball Season Ini s Fort Wayne. r - ■ l — l The Central league will open the r Base Ball season of 1914 at League 1 Park, Fort Wayne, on Wed. April 2-'nd. • with the pennant winning Grand Rap- , ids club, doing battle with Manager i Martin’s Billikins. i The Fort Waytie playe-s will enter I the race for the pennant in better j - shape than they have had for many • seasons, for the simple reason that ' they have had weather conditions that was at all times favorable. Even up in Grand Rapids, where the weather is usually much cooler than in I any other town on the circuit the men on the Essick Noblett squad have been ‘ afforded excellent facilities for rounding into the form to lie desired for the beginning of the battle. This is rather lucky for Ft. Wayne as the patrons here will see the first opening game they have ever witnessed. In the olden days the local club was generally assigned either to Wheeling or Evansville and last year to Dayton, and although the Central league has been organised since 1903 and there has been talk year after year of opening on the north end cf the circuit, no Fort Wayne owner has ever been able to bring this about until the point was carried at the meet-! ing in Indianapolis last month. A movement has been started here; to make the opening crowd the record for the Central league. Os course.! weather conditions are to be taken; into account, as more people will go on a bright, warm day than on a bad ! afternoon, but with all things equal i it would be nice if the local fans! could register a high-water attendance ' mark. Evansville had the biggest crowd last season, but no city has ever reached 5.000 and Fort Wayne has proven on one or two occasions that it is capable of turning out that sort of a crowd. Somehow there ia a belief among base ball players that it is lucky to win the opening game and every team manager sends in his best conditioned pitcher for the affray. Probably a «earch through the archives would prove that just as many pennants have been won by teams that lost the first game of each season as by those that triumphed, but just the same the man igers all seek to win the initial combats. More than likely Tommy Atkins will fling the opener here and just woo Bill Essick will send to the firing line is a question. His staff of last season was shot to pieces by the sale of Pfeffer, the drafting of Abe Bow man and the retirement of Ed Smith. However the Grand Rapids magnate has a year of experience behind him. Is acquainted with more major league owners than he knew when he started and is a pretty good judge of young material, so he will have at least one hurler all ’ primed for the opening event.

WHAT A BOY DID In the year of 1816 there was boro in a country town of poor parents, a baby, who was destined to become one of th« world's wealthiest men. Almost from tha time he could work ha did work. Until ha was 15 years of ago ha worked as a farm hand. Then he got a job as an errand boy in a country grocery. By his sober habits.hia industry, thrift and saving he succeeded in buying an interest in ths store when hs was 21 years of age. Buy the time hs was 23 hs had saved enough to purchase an Interest in s wholesale store. Lat er on he moved to New York City and bought a seat on ths New York Stock Eachangs. with the money he had saved. He gradually accumulated a fortune which st his death, in 1906, was estlmstat M 0.000.000. Hla name was Russell Sage. Thsra is not a boy or girt who reads this, who cannot become wealthy by ths practice of habits o« thrift and saving. The boy or girl who in early lifa squanders the penm-e, in later years, will not have the dollars. Why net today epan a Savings Account at ths First National Bank.
