MAKES ANNUAL TRIP TO SEE RED OPENERS

Once more the Cincinnati National League baseball team has opened another season on the home grounds, and once more H. H. Engelbert. veteran fan, has attended. Mr. Engelbert holds a unique record, having missed only one season opener in the last thirtythree years. Among the other fans who made the trip by motor cars today were Clarence Jessup, Elmer Eggemeyer, Charles L. Kirk, Joe Peltz and Dr. Churchill. The Richmond delegation has revived its perennial hope that the Reds would be in the running all the way, since Buck Herzog has strengthened the team with some players who are known to be stars.

BY MONTY. NEW YORK, April 14. Baseball is with us again. The rumbling voices of eight austere umpires ring forth "play ball!" this afternoon and the major league season of 1915 is under way. Parades, flag risings, speeches, bouquets and bands these and a billion other devices are contriving in eight big cities to distract the attention of the genus fan from the main business at hand. But history repeats, and in each of the eight municipalities solemn ceremony is interrupted with shrill cries of "take 'em off," "give us the game" and mimicing what the umpire should do just plain "play ball!" This year the schedule makers have failed to provide games for Cleveland, Pittsburg, and Brooklyn, but since the Brooklynites can ride an hour on the elevated or subway to see their favorites play the Giants at the Polo grounds in New York, they do not need any sympathy. Cleveland and

Pittsburg fans are the ones deserving of pity. They must wait until a week from tomorrow before they can see a home game. Games Furnish Dope. Today's list -of openings provides a number of games that possess interest fandom at large in addition to the home partisans. The American League presents the banner battle of the day at Philadelphia. There the Boston Red Sox, picked by nine out of ten critics to win the pennant, are tackling the Athletics, holders of the 1914 title. The Athletics are a greatly changed team, with Bender, Plank, Collins and Baker, the big four of the team, gone. The acquisition of Nap Lajoie to replace Collins at second base is another item of interest in connection with Connie Mack's team. How far has Lajoie gone back? Or has he come back again. The other American League games of today look to be a bit one-sided. The White Sox, playing the Browns in St. Louis, appear on paper to be considerably the stronger team, with Eddie Collins at second base. Walter Johnson's pitching in Washington is expected to prove to much for Bill Donovan's Yankees. Cleveland, picked unanimously as the weakest team in the league, is not believed to have much chance against Cobb, Crawford and company in Detroit. Cardinals Meet Cubs. ' What promises to develop the best baseball of the day in the National

League is the game in Chicago between the Carr'inals and the Chicago Cubs. These clubs figure to be up in the first division all the way, probably splitting third and fourth place, with St. Louis in the berth just under the Braves and Giants. Outfielder Lee Magee has jumped to the Feds, Catcher Ivy Wingo is with Cincinnati and Pitcher Poll Perritt lias been traded to the Giants. Outfielder Bob Beacher from the Giants is all Higgins can stiow exchange for these men. But he has a fine young shortstop in Uaringer and a promising outfielder in Long, as well as several fledgling pitchers who look capable. The principal changes in the Cubs is the new regime which brings fiery Roger Bresnahan to the fore a, manager in place of the phlegmatic Hank O'Day. Bresnahan will exhibit for the first time in a real big league game youthful Polly McLarry, a spectacular second baseman from Louisville who Is touted as a heavy hitter as well as a capable fielder. Since Bresnahan used to manage the Cardinals in former years, he will be particularly anxious to win today. The Boston Braves of Miracle Man George Stallings are enough of a magnet in themselves and their course, will be followed closely all season even when playing so-called clubs such as the Phillies, whom they meet in Boston today. The Braves are stronger than when they wound up the world's series last fall, having added on Sherwood Magee, the hard hitting outfielder from the Phillies. The men lost by the club since the big Beries are Dugey and Whitted, who were traded to the Phillies, and the jumpers. Leslie Mann and Charley Deal. These four will not be missed much because they were at best first class substitutes.

Browns went into a tie for first place last night with the Porter aggregation when they trampled the Grimes combination underfoot by the score of 7 to 5. This was a light hitting affair and a pitchers duel combined. Hafner had the shade on Petti-

bone, whiffing no less than fourteen men and allowing but two hits, one a two-sacker. Pettibone allowed two hits in four innings that he pitched, but some bad throws with hits coming at the right time, lost the game. Grimes' Men Slug. The Grimes team went after the Hafner slants right at the start and ran up a comfortable lead. Grimes' first man up strolled to first on four wide ones, and then Pettibone brought him in with a fine two-sacker to right center. The latter scored a few minutes later on an error, and Watt followed him in on a passed ball. They were practically helpless the remainder of the game, beraking their backs swinging at the elusive slants of Anthony, scoring one each in the foutrh and fifth. . ... The Browns, after getting nothing In the first inning, kept pecking away at the offerings of Petty until in the second they chased one man across and went one to the good in the third, working three men across. In the fourth they tied it up by duplicating the previous inning. Arnold helped things along with a long double into left field. Score: Grimes. A.B. R. H. P.O. A. E.

VIGRANS WANT GAME

The feature game o the Y Indoor league baseball tonight will be the Vlgran and Advance-Hill game which is scheduled for 7:30 o'clock. It Is the determined ambition of Steven's outfit to cop a game from the league leaders who have defeated every team in. the league without dropping any. The Advance team is going good now and providing their regular battery shows up, they stand -a fair chance of copping. Williams is the latest phenom among the league twirlers and he will probably work for the Vigrans. The second game will be, between the Natco and Fence Factory. The latter team has not won a single game to date although threatening to pull out ahead in the last couple of games. The Natcos are not going any too strong and it may be that the Fencers can get away tonight.

FIGURE OUT THIS?

The season in the Business Men's Bowling league at the "Y" is getting close to the end, and there is a bare possibility of the A. S. M. No. 1 team working into a tie for first place with the Colonials. It can happen this way: They roll the I. H. C. tonight, and . providing they make a clean sweep and the Seeders No. 2, rolling against the the scores made by the Colonials, who rolled alone a couple of weeks ago, can win one of the three, then the Seeders No. 1 will go into a tie with the Colonials for the leadership of the league, making it necessary for these two to fight it out in a post-season game for the championship.

Danny Jenkins, manager of the Bay City, Michigan league team training at New Castle last night 'phoned the Richmond club asking for a game here Sunday. The local however have a game with Kokomo for that date and could not accommodate.
