Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS'

N'EW YORK, April 16.—Perhaps the most striking way to be„>n a piece about the opening of the oaseball ; eason is to write that the opening of the baseball season is ..ere. For this, indeed, is the truth. Today the big league races begim and to a sizeable per centage of people this is a vitally important event. a v o Tn spite of intimations to the contrary baseball is still played and people still attend the games. I ha\e heard it said from time to time that golf has replaced baseball as the national pastime. e it tt T DON'T KNOW WHETHER THIS To TRTTF OP VOT I'M INCLINED TO FHINiw IT ISN'T, MORE PEOPLE ATTENDED BAgEBALL CAMLh IN THIS COUNTRY 1 AST YEAR THAN EVER BEFORE. IT IS HARD TO RECONCILE THIS I ACT WITH THE STATEMENT THAT BASEBALL AS A POPULAR INSTITUTION TS .i'RRENDERINCI TO THE ANCIENT SCOTTISH CURSE' a s a fi a matter of fact a sufficient Y\ number of people quit noli m ~i „ ii; „ even- vear after blowing uTe-foot puts to fill all the parks the land. The game is a fickle :.en. that lures but does not hold. B B t! Naturally the diamond sport ;, ; , s suffered marked changes with (hi passing years, for one thing the opening day ceremonials arc not what they used to be. Much nf the glamour and high carnival spirit are lacking, and only in the smaller cities does the event take on the profound aspect of a civic enterprise.

TRUE. THE PRESIDEN I OF THE NATION' STILE ADHERES TO THE ANCIENT PRACTICE OF ATTENDING THE ( OPENING GAME IN WASHINGTON AND j TOSSING OUT THE FIRST BALL. EX- j ERf ICING A SHORT. JERKY WIND-UP j and a mirthless smile that SEEM ! Vo SUGGEST A NON-PARTISAN IM- < PATIENCE WITH THE ORDEAL. ant: SOME of ! hr Presidents have been | serious baseball fans. Mr.’ Wil- ; son for one.

Weather Man Prevents Opening Games in Four Major Cities

50,000 Fans Watch Cubs Face Pirates McCarthy Depends on Hurling of Root; Ownie Selects Grimes. B// United Press CHICAGO, April 16.— I The brightest prospects a Chicago team has known in ten years faced approximately 50,000 baseball fans today as they prepared to see the Cubs open the season against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Led by the bats of Hornsby. Cuvier. Wilson and Stephenson, the Chicagoans hoped to gather enough hits off Burleigh Grimes to win the first game of a season. Manager Joe McCarthy of the Cub.; was to depend upon the pitching of Charley Root, who enjoyed a great year in 1927, slumped last ear. and now appears to have regained top form. Ownie Bush. Pittsburgh manager, believes Grimes’ pitching, coupled v. ith the hitting of the two Waners, Traynor, etc., would start the Cubs on the wrong side of the percentage column. Cloudy skies and cool weather were promised. ,

Campus Sport Comment ! BY KNUTE ROCKNE JUST one track meet was run off in Chicago this past winter and it was abominable. Except for the big indoor meets in the east the crowds at track meets in the other parts of the country are very disappointing. Track coaches and

managers have tried every expediency except trying to make the track meet a show. Track coaches, of course, will claim that track athletics should be above showmanship, that showman sh i p should not be nece ssa ry. If they have in mind just run-

Jl zfm i v .

Rockne

nine a track meet for the edification of the competitors and a very few spectators perhaps they are right. But if they hope to attract spectators, the meet will have to be made interesting, and that means showmanship. If the track coaches insist on stringing out a meet all afternoon; if they insist on running all relay races with a staggered start out of a hide so that the finishes arc cn the other side of the track away from the spectators they can't expect old John Public to be interested enough to pay $2. Wherever showmanship has been tried such as at the Penn and Drake relays, the big indoor meets in the east, the dual meets at Ithaca between Cornell and Michigan and at Seattle between Stanford and Washington, every seat has been filled and enough money has been taken in at the gate to help pay the expenses of equipping all the athletes. traveling, up-keep and care of field, salaries, etc. And just a thought for the track coaches—-as the receipts increase there might be more of a disposition on the part of the committee that has the say-so to discuss more favorably the track coaches’ salary. hot* light. 1929. by The Timcta SETS WORLD’S" RECORD Myrtle took of Canada Races to Victory; Williams Equals Mark.

The weather man put a knockout punch on four of the eight scheduled big league openers today and only four games were booked after two postponements in the National and four in the American were pjostponed. Only in Chicago, Cincinnati and St, Louis was fair weather promised and something akin to the disappointing s f art which marred the flag races of 1928 was anticipated. It was raining in New York, where the New York Yankees were due to raise the American League pennant as well as that of the world's championship before their scheduled game with the Boston Red Sox. The contest was postponed until Dednesday because of rain. Rain at Washington It was raining in Washington, and the Senators-Athletics opening tilt was postponed. The Detroit Tigers, under new leadership, were to take on the Cleveland Indians, and it was threatening and chilly at Cleveland. At. St. Louis, one of the few cities where a bright sun was shining, the battling Browns, picked by some to come through and win the pennant, engaged the Chicago White Sox. It was generally agreed that the National League race is a more open affair than that in the junior circuit. The New York Giants w r ere to have opened at Philadelphia and it was called off because of rain in the Quaker city. Bruins Have Hopes The most interesting club in the National League from the point of view of every fan is the Chicago ! Cubs. Having acquired Rogers | Harnsby, the Cubs are hopeful of winning their first pennant in a dozen seasons. They were to open today, in clear but chilly weather, against the Pittsburgh Pirates, a most uncertain aggregation. The Braves opening setto with Uncle Wilbert Robinson's Dodgers also was called off because of Jupiter Pluvius’ outburst. Cincinnati played hosts to the St. Louis Cardinals, the 1928 champions, in cloudy, cool weather. The New York Yankees are favorites in the American League, while the New York Giants and Chicago Cubs are joint favorites in the National League.
