SUNDAY, APRIL 5. Tremendous Crowd Expected SEASON'S OPENING BALL GAME TOMORROW AT 3:30 O'CLOCK Local Sallie League Team Will Tackle Manager Harbinaon’s Comers—Will Be the First Real Baseball Game in Augusta For the Past Two Years—Tremendous Crowds Expected.

The loiif-lotlttd for opening game of the season I* ht*e at lust, therefore "Babe" will have no time >eft to defeat tbc amateur cubs of this city, but, will settle down to the rather hard problem of whipping his brother teatus. And this will not be an easy task In the least, for by reading the ‘•rounds-upe" of the other Sallie teams on thin page, one will obtain tho im press on tlial the Snlile teems are f&lriy well matched. When the first player of the boy man ager's sound steps up to the plate the game will be on. and not only will a mere game of baseball be on. but it means that Augusta is awake again, In the world of sports, Augusta is now on the progressive road, having a bal club as well as the erection of sky scrapers. Columbia Rooters. Some fifty odd strong rooters for Co lumbia will arrive in Augusta tomor row morning, so the local fans had bet ter get busy and prepare to attend th‘s game, if no other. "Babe" states that he just simply is going to defeat the visitors and that is all there Is to it. Manager Harbinson of the Comers says the same in regards to the Augusta team, so In every respect this Is going to be a game worth seeing. It will be called promptly at 3:30 o'clock. The baseball directors have arranged for a brass band that will follow the parade, winding its way up Broad street and then down to Warren Park and will continue to play all during the game. The Auto Question. About a week or so ago it was asked by the ball directors, of the citizens of Augusta that owned autos, to lend the use of them to convey the players down to the park. This request has not been followed up as it should, so Presi dent Kalbfleiseh has the following to say: "We simply couldn't issue a pass to the game for every man whose car we would have used and, with few excep tions. that s what we were asked to do. The league allows each club only so many free passes. and all over tha: number the club has to pay for. It is as much as we could do to finance the team, without trying to pay the way of anybody into tile grounds to see the games. "However, we have simply passed up Very Latest in the Sporting Dope Line New York. —And now we have discov ered‘-why it was that the New York State Boxing Commission refused to let Sam Langford. Joe Jeanette and other battlers of color swap punches with some of the "white hope” persons who infest this locality. It was because they didn’t want the real source of their in come sent to the various graveyards. The commission recently published a statement showing that for the year ended November SO, 1913, the gross re ceipts from boxing bouts in the state amounted to $1,994,796, that the net re ceipts were $775,596, and the commis sion's divvy of 5 per cent was $38,871. A large proportion of this money came through the staging of alleged fights between "white hopes.” Now, you see, if "Thammy” or Joe ever got a chance at some of those piano movers, longshoremen, etc., the undertaking bus iness hereabouts would boom in a lively fashion, there wouldn’t be any "white hopes" left to pit against each other in a very short period, and the commis sion's rakeoff would hardly supply the members with beer money. Clever, fellows those commissioners, aren’t they? As predicted. Ban Johnson who got himself known as "The Human Phono graph,” (with horn attachment) while Charles Comiskey was in foreign climes, and therefore out of earshot, has become strangely—and agreeably—silent since Comiskey got back. And it isn’t hoarse ness that silenced Ban, either. Over In H’lngland they still are com paring base ball to that dear, old (lady's) game of cricket—and giving cricket the decision. One cannot drink tea, y’no during s baseball game and fawncy there being any pleasure in a gtme Where one must linger without a sip of Tommy's Lipton's brew. t There seems to be no limit to the pessimistic thoughts Organised Baseball —and its subsidized friends—can think about the Fcdcfal League. When the Feds first began operations they de clared the organization would "blow up" in February. When their prediction didn't come true they attempted to hedge by sating the Feds wouldn’t open the season. Also they declared that the Feds couldn't act any training camps, and even if they did they wouldn’t be able to play nny exhibition games, thus get'- *ng a slight return on the training camp outlay. But the Feds did get training camps, and they arc staging exhibition games and gftlng money therefore. “The Feds won’t be able to get their narks in shape until mid-summer, was ilie next pessimistic crosk. But It looks Just now as if every Fed park will he ready either when the season opens or within a week or two thereafter. Unable to think up anything else that will look like a knock at the new league those persona arc solemnly declaring right now that the Federal League will bust up before mid-summer because they aren’t equipped with a bunch °r bulidozin* umpires but have an over flow of bulldozing ball players. * “No league enn be a success unless or der prevails.” declare these folk. “The Fed umpires are not the k nd that can keep peace and order and the Federal games will be so full of squabbles, fights and mix-ups that the few people who at first will patronize the Federal parks will become disgusted and never FIRST BALL GAME OF THE SEASON TOMORROW; AUGUSTA VS. COLUMBIA that psrsde feature, so far as the au- j tomoblles Is concerned, and will run a I couple of special cats, with tho players and it band, up one side of Broad street, down the other, and out to the park.” The merchants of this city have agreed to let all employes off long enough to see this game so there will be no excuse for not being present and he ping Augusta to win the attendance cup. which will he given to the club which gets the largest number of paid admissions—now Angustu wants this tup as It not only means that the fans of this elly are Interested In the pro gressive movement but it will greatly advertise this city, and that Is what Au gusta needs. Race On. From the time that the first ball Is pitched tomorrow the race will be on for the pennant and If the crowds are present this will show the Augusta boys that their efforts are appreciated and When a ball player gets this Impression —well he’s some worker. But there Is no doubt of the crowds not being pres ent for there is baseball in the air In and around Augusta. Tickets for this game may be pro cured from the U A. Gardelle Drug Store or the Albion Cigar Store nt any time. These tickets were put on sale yesterday afternoon. Those who want to purchase these tickets in advance had better do so at once as they are rap idly vanishing. For those that will not be able to get them from these two stores they may be obtained from the ticket office at the park. The baseball directors when asked in regards to accommodating the crowds that are expected, stated that there would be no trouble In the least in seating them, as the grandstand its self will hofld fifteen hundred people if not more and there are the bleachers that have been greatly enlarged. Well, don’t forget, every Augustan is going down to the ball park Monday and is going there to root for the home team that Is making Its come-back after a two years’ absence. New Players. Manager Brouthers, yesterday gave Players Whitney, Johnson and McCann an unconditional release. “Babe” also bought a left-hand pitcher to add to his club, by name. Haskins. He was bought from Memphis of the Southern league. Morcott, a left fielder, was also procured from this same city. These two men will report in Augusta tomorrow night. come back. And then, of course, the Feds will go broke." Nurse, bring the hypodermic, please. The patient steems a bit flighty egain. COLUifl BASE BALI Hill Boy Manager Harbison Has Shown Excellent Judgment ia Selection of Players For 1914 Season. Columbia, S. C.—With a ball club gathered in six weeks from the four comers of the Union, Manager Harbi son expects the Comers to play first di vision baseball through the long grind and he even has misty visions of pen nant winners. Students of baseball here credit Columbia’s boy manager with dis play of excellent Judgment in securing his men, whom he has molded Into a smoothly fielding and hard-hitting ag gregation. Particular strength is shown by the four boxmen he has retained, two right handers and two left-handers. The in field Is made up of young and peppery veterans, men who know the game but yet have their best baseball days In the future. In the outer works, he has a trio of old heads. They are Ezell, from the Tri-State, Joe Holland, who calls Edgefield home, and Eberts, whose na tivity Is unknown. The Infield will be as follows when Harbison leads his men against Broth ers’ August ans in tne opening game of the season Monday: Manager Harbi son, first base, Betsel, a fast man who set the Appalachian League on fire last year, at second; Veteran Champ Os teen, shortstop, and Kuhlman, from the Tri-State, at the last comer. Not only is this a beautifully fielding quartette, but their combined hitting average last season is .291. Summing up the whole club In every department, the Coiners should prove A fast, hard-hitting, heady crowd of ball players. With Bert Hardin, peer last year of the Virginia League pitchers, and Wlnchell, who relies on a wicked fast ball and a sharp curve, as the principal boxmen, the Comers should easily hold a position among the top four. His other two hurt era will be selected from six men now In camp. RICHMOND ACADEMY~AGAIN LOOSER TO MILLEDGEVILLE The Richmond Academy lost the second game to the Georgia Military College yesterday, the score being 13 to 0. The cadets are not down cast in the least over the defeat as they credit it to not being used to the diamond and also to the condition of the team, or to use the words of Man ager Rae, "We were simply worn out from the previous game." $6.50 Palm Beach Suits at Martin*.

SAVANNAH'S 13 BALL PLAYERS Manager Lipe Will Begin the Eleventh Annual Season of the South Atlantic League Monday. Savannah, Qa. —Manager Lipe of Sa vannah will begin the eleventh annual season of the South. Atlantic league Monday with a squad of thirteen play ere, namely: Woolf. Pool, Causey und Cheney pltchera; Smith, catcher; Gust, first base; Zimmerman, second base; Lipe, third base; Handlboe, Mayer, Van Lanuinghatn and Woodward, outfielders, tnd Crowell, shortstop. But one In this array can properly be termed a recruit, Causey being the lone member of the squad who has not seen at least one year's service in the ranks of organized baseball, while Gust, Zltn merman and Lipe on the infield, Handi boe and Mayer in the outfield and Pool of the pitching staff were members of the 1913 club which brought Savannah championships in both halves of the di vided race. Lone Recruit. Causey, the lone recruit, is a Florida cracker, who is going to be seriously heard from if the opinions of tho wise ones are not badly in error. Woolf is a old head, as Sally leaguers go. He was formerly with Coflumbus, Albany and Charleston of the Corish circuit. Cheney is the lad who pitched the Tho masville club to victory In the post-sea son series with Valdosta last fall for the championship of the Georgia State League. He, Causey. Pool and Woo f are all six footers. Smith, behind the bat, like Van Lan dingham and Cheney, was acquired by Savannah by draft, from the Winston- Sailem club of the Carolina League. He is a monstrous young rooster and can hit a baseball. The lone new face on the infield is that of Crowell, who dis ported with great credit to his family, In New York's sem-pro ranks laßt sum mer. He too, is a big. rangy lad and makes a specialty of hitting the horse hide on the nose, not to mention a rather remarkable agility in getting over the ground around shortfield.. Outfield. Handlboe, Mayer and Van Landing ham most likely will be the outfield on opening day. Van Landingham was a .304 hitter in the Kmpire League last season, but has not yet reached his stride with the stick and may possibly he sidetracked in favor of Woodward, who hit over .300 and fielded .969 in the Apalaehian League last summer as a member of the Middlesboro club. Old Man Lipe seems to think he has a pretty fair baill club. His “pretty fair” is mighty good in the words of the average fan. He’s a little doubtful about his pitchers and one berth in tne outfield, but is satisfied the club as a whole will hit even better than the 1913 champions. In the spring exhiblton games, the ptchers proved decidedly wild. Since all are tried veterans it is naturally to he supposed they will come to earth with constant work, but Old Man Lipe takes nothing for granted; hence his outlook is precisely as quoted above. Either Pool or Woolf will pitch the opener wdth the batting order penciled thus: Handlboe, cf.; Lipe. 3b; Mayer, rs.; Gust, lb.; Zimmerman, 2b; Crowell, ss.; Van Landingham or Woodward, If.; Smith, c.

ORGANIZED Counsel For "Outlaws” Put on Defensive Killifer Case De cision April 7th. Grand Rapids, Mich. —Decision as to the winner in battle between the new Federal Baseball League and organised Baseball, as vepresmd by til National League, rests with the umpire. Judge Clarence W Sessions, of the United States district court for Western Michi gan. Arguments of counsel in the suit brought by the management of the Chi cago Federal League club to enjort* William J. Killifer, Jr., from continu ing In the service of the Philadelphia Nat onul League club cr any other than the Chicago Federal League organiza tion, were completed late today, and the judge took the case under advisement. 11 announced lie would not render a de cision before next Tuesday and possibly not for a week or ten days. With “Clean Hands.” In defense of his ptsition that the Chicago Federate hud come into court with “clean hands, " Attorney E. E. Gates asserted that, granting the in validity of the reserve clause, Killifer had discharged ail moral obligations un der it when he waited until January 14th. 1914 before signing with the Fed era Is. Attorney George Pepper of Philadel phia took the other side. His argu ment was woven around the epigram: “Should the seducer of «n employe be entitled to equity in court?” Attorneys for the National League club took occasion briefly to defend the reserve clause and the ten-day clause. The Contention. Grand Rapids, Mich.—ln the opening legal skirmish of a nation-wide war be twe »i the new Federal League and or ganized baseball staged in federal court here today, counsel fir the so-called outlaw organization were put on the de fensive at the outset and directed first to demonstrate its right to relief even granting the Invalidity of the reserve clause in baseball contracts Is estab lished. The Federal League is making a test case of the individual contract of Catch er W. J. Killifer who signed with the Federate of Chicago while under re serve by the Philudelpniu National con tracts for 1913. Organized Property. The Federate are seeking to enjoin him from continuing in the service of ttie Philadelphia National's or any othev club than the Chicago Federal Leugue club. In seeking this relief the Fed erate centered their attack on the chief bulwark of all organized baseball, the reserve clause, and also gave consider able attention to the so-called ten-day clause which gives a club authority to dispense with a contracted player's service at any time aftev a ten-day no tice is given? “Feds” Counsel. E. E. Gates, general counsel for the Federal League, opened the arugment and after revewlng I lie bill of com plaint, answers and affidavits, made ills attack on (he reserve clause and the ten-day clause. li was in the midst of his argument that Judge Sessions in terrupted with pointed questions which indicated that the Federal League must first establish that it has come into Court with clean hands in seeking an order enjoining Kllllfer from playing with the Phdlies. Reserve Clause. Stripped of its legal verbiage, the question was raised by the court that since the Federal League is not a party to the contract it Is seeking to have declared invalid and to have relief from it should demonstrate that it had no part In inspiring Kllllfer even In violat ing the moral obligation conferred by the reserve clause of hs 1913 contract. “Assuming tlie contract Is not bind ing.” said the court, "and construing It for the purpose of argument solely as a mcs-al oblige lion as 1 understand the authorities, lie who seeks equity must himself come into court with clean hands. Where there Is a moral obliga tion you, having been a party to the breach of obligation, claim you are en titled to enforcement of the contract notwithstanding your action In that re gard." submitted at 3 P. M. Samuel M. Clements, counsel for the Philadelphia National League club said during re-ess, tne question of the right of tlie complainants to seek relief is the one big Issue in this case. TBe Killifer case was submitted to the court at 3 o'clock tills afternoon. Judge Sessions announced he would not give his decision before the morning of April 7 th. SPORT DOPE St. Augustine Races.

Fultz, of the organiza tion, in a statement today said in part: “The fraternity has refused to compel its members to regard the so-called re serve rules in contracts of organized ball, for one reason, because we have felt that we would be disclplmg our members for not doing something tha law night later decide they were not bound ti* do.
