New York. —Calmly defying the thirteenth hoodoo the Federal League ers today pried the lid off the 1914 baseball season with a game in Bal timore between the fast aggregation representing that city and the one that makes Buffalo its home. Early indications were that every seat in the new stands would be oc cupied when the umpire’s "Play Ball" sent the rival clubs into action. Bal timore has gone crazy over the ad vent of the Federal League, and for more than two months, the fans of the city have looked forward to this day. From the mayor down to the muddiest looking street urchin, Bal timore is happy that at last it will have a representation in a major league. • A Hard Fight. And this, 100, was the day of days for those men who have hacked the Federal League with huge bank rolls, who have given a large portion of their time during the past six montng to making the league a success, and who have fought a hard but winning fight against their formidable enemy, organized baseball. This, too, was tlie day that brought about the utter discrediting of the or ganized baseball predictors who have been telling the public for several months that "the Federals are a joke organization.” and that “you can bet all you've got that they won’t open the season.” The outpouring of fans for today’s game at Baltimore upset another or ganized prediction. It. has been free ly predicted for many mot.ths by the O. B. persons that Baltimore was a "dead town,” that it could hardly sup port even one minor league baseball dub, and that "not more ohan 200 or 300 persons will turn out for the opening game.” Baltimore, it seem ed from today’s enthusiasm over the Federals, will he one of the best towns In the Federal cireuikt. Only One Game. The only Federal League game to day was at Baltimore, Brooklyn and Pittsburg, the other two clubs in the eastern portion of the circuit, will open their season tomorrow at Pitts burg, where another big outpuring of fans is expected. Pittsburg, despite Its fondness for Barney Dreyfuss' Pirates, thinks pretty well of Its Fed eral League club, and the fans prom ise to turn out In great style to greet the invaders. Buffalo and Baltimore will not play on the 14th, but will stage the second game of their series on the lath in Baltimore, Brooklyn and Pittsburg al so will play on the 15th. The western clubs of the Federal League delayed tlielr opening until the 16th when Joe Tinker's Chicago team meets the Kansas City squad In that city, and the Indianapolis aggre gation clashes with Miner Brown's Bt. Louis club In the Missouri city In both St. Louis and Kansas City the fans are prepared to give a big and rousing welcome to the new lea guers, and In both cities it seems just now as If the stands will be packed for the opening combats. Stands Completed. The Chicago Federal League stand** are completed and take rank with the finest steel and concrete stadiums In the country. The St. Louis stand* also are finished and are almost equal to those In Chicago In seating capac ity. Kansas City this year will use the big high school stadium, the backers planning to build a big steel and con crete stadium next year, provided pos itive assurance is given them that their franchise will be renewed. Barring a few details of construc tion the Buffalo stands are complet ed. What little work remains to be done can be ae before the week is out. The fans will suffer no Inconvenience, however, because of the fact that the stands are not ab solutely coni'Mod. Pirates’ Old Home. The Pittsburg Federals are using Exposition Park, the old home of the Pirates, which Is bellevpd to be big enough for this seaso. , but which will be supplanted with a new steel and concrete stadium next season if Pitts burg’s franchise Is renewed Tho Baltimore stands were finished some time before the season started and rHE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA. take rank with the finest hall parks in the land. Work on the Brooklyn stands is be ing rushed, and it Is expected that the stands will be ready for the open ing game.

For all shades and degrees of weather, for aerobatic changes from summer welter to arctic winter, for eccentric Idiosyncrasies and pure food cussednes*, March has got the whole calendar backed off thu boards! ‘March was named for Mars, the god of war, because it is a fickle and stormy period of the year. Up to 1752, when the change In style took place. It was ihe first month in the year. It was given, first place because planting operations were started at that time Ordinarily speaking, right smart chance of breaking and bedding and listing can be, done In March and all the first corn Is usually planted about this neck of the woods. But riot tills year. It has been too cold and boist erous and the farmers are way behind. The Origin of Lent. March was ruled Lenet Monat, by our Anglo-Saxon progenitors, which mean length-month, by reason of * lie noticeable lengthening of the days. Hence, we derive the term Lent, which is applied to a religious period In somn of the churches. The festive observ ance of Faster commemorates the resurrection of the Bavlor of tlie world. March was formerly considered a dry month when the winds dried off the fields so that plowing could la done and swayed the branches of the trees and plants and made the sap to rise nnd buds to burst. Thor* is an old saying that a peck of March dust Is worth a King’s ransom Another, showing how desirable It is to have a dry spell In March was, that "a dry March never begs bread ” But this past gone March broke all weather records for this luttitude by blustery, snow flurries and general tempestuousness.

We are now about to show the greatest miracle that was ever per formed al under one tent, the blue arched and vaulted heavens. It Is tho greatest landscape show that ever opened, where all nature takes on new life, the trees are clothed in a new dress of vivid green, and birds and things all thrown In. It Is now on the way and it is the greatest of movies. And It costs you absolutely nothing. Tills may cheap en the stunt in tin eyes of some who measure values hy commercial stand ards. But, It Is not the painting thnt costs the highest Hint Is of the most value from an artistic point of view. There are Kaleidoscopic changes In color and tone.

Hut few realize, that in this grand miracle Hist is performed once a year, all the forces In nature are employed and each one, lie it small or great, tins lta part in the great show. "Behold the radiant spring, In splendor decked anew!" The Call of ths Woods. April showers make sweet flowers and In our beautiful Southern woods they grow In the greatest profusion and variety. Just now the glorifying yellow Juslrnlne is rioting In full and fragrant career, which mingling with tile terehlnlhlne odors of the pines or the faint perfume of the sweat shrub, makes the air delightful to the senses. The forests are filled with floral figures of pyramidal shape and snowy whiteness, revealing or closer Inspec tion, that they are In reality, dog woods or old man’s beard, phantom snowdrifts reminding one of Hie reul ones in the late remarkable visitation. "Horne Jove to roam where the dark seas foam And the shrill winds whistle free, Hut a chosen band, a mountain land, And a life in the woods for me." What beauties these woods unfold to the lover of nature, but what must they have been when the primeval forests stretched everywhere! No wonder they were then the favorite hunting grounds of the Cherokee*, the Greeks; the lichees, and other tribes of red men, for here the wild den and other game roamed, and the beautiful streams looking like liquid arnber, abounded In fish of almost infinite va riety. All this was changed by the advent of the pale face, and as their settle ments expanded arid multiplied, the teppes of Poor Lo were pushed hack and vanished from the earth The only thing that Is left to remind us of the aborlginees who once owned this land is the beautiful names, so full FIVE I’odophyllln (common Mandrake or May-Apple Root) la Nature'* own gift to mankind.

Sometimes enchained by winter white and atilt, With biting frosts that of the north land speak; Sometimes adventurous summer rushes past Her hounds, and seizes on the opening day, With all her balmy winds in Joyous play, And grace unveiled, too fair, too sweet, to last.
