In the 800 foot triple relay, Kahana- | moku made up a ten foot lead with | which his opponent started and won the race by a margin of little more than a foot. He swam the final 50 vards in 24 setonds flat, approaching the world’s record. Mark CORNELL IS BEATE! AGAIN. Loses Second Straight Game to Vir- | ginia Nine. Chariottesville, Va., April 12—Fast fielding back of Rixey, enabled Vir- ginia to win its second straight game from Cornell here yesterday. The | Ithacans fought gamely throughout ! and made a sturdy effort to win out in the seventh and ninth innings. In the seventh period Quinlan was safe on Smith's fumble and tallied on Rixey’s wild pitch. Cornell filled the bases in the eighth, with none out, but Ludwig was hailed at the plate by Berkeley and a fast double play retired the side. Burpee singled in the ninth, pilfered second, and scored on Clary’s line drive, which bounded out of the right fielder’s hands. The score: r. h. Virginia 3 Cornell . . .. .2 Batteries: Rixey and Guath Sutterby, Oleson and Clary. mey: MEREDITH BEATS BAKER. Pennsy Flier Forced to Utmost Gain Honors.

ON PENNANT HUNT START 16 TEAMS “Play Ballfiv&es Fandom. From Repose in Winter League | New York, April 12.—The major league baseball season of 1916 opens today. The eight clubs of each of the National and American circuits paired for the first clashes of a new pennant struggle. The public has rea- son to Dbelieve from the results of the exhibition games, that all sixteen contenders are unusually well prepated for the start. | As usua] the greater city is well pro- vided with attractions. Washington, for several seasons a dark horse of Ban Johnson's company will appear at the Polo Grounds this afternoon | against Bill Donovan's reconstructed | Yankees. At Ebbets Field the Brook- | lyn Dodgers, who showed through the | last half of the 1915 campaign a team strength equal to that of the sen- Philadelphia champions of the Tener ring, will be opposed by the | highly regarded Boston Braves in . command of George Stallings. Friends of the Giants will*have to wait a few | days to see their idols in action here. McGraw's team this year drew an out of town opening. This afternoon in | Philadelphia Mac's men meet no less worthy a foe than the Phillies, cham- pions of last year. Through the spring training of the major league clubs there has been shown here and elsewhere generally a wonderful revival of baseball interest. The great summer game had reached the zenith of ‘public popularity at the time the Federal L.eague was organ- ized. This outlaw body proved an evil | influence. Stars were won away from organized baseball through the lure of | unprecedented pay. Fandom lost faitn | in the integrity of its heroes. It was sickened by the widely advertised commercialism that the new era of baseball wrought. Ironclad contracts | destroved the principles of club disci- | pline and made mere figureheads of the cleverest managers. Forgiveness for Players. But baseball today is once more back pretty well where it was three years ago. The terms of the recently concluded baseball peace pact lent a hew stimulus to general interest. In pardoning the promoters of the revo- lutionary faction forgiveness was also extended to all players who had cast their lot with the outlaws. The stars of the independentends were absorbed by the sixteen major league clubs. The public seems most anxious to see first hand how closely these in fastest company will live up to Fed- eral League records. Players thrown onto the market through the col- lapse of the Federal League enabled the weaker clubs of the two major cir- cuits to strengthen weak spots. It is the opinion of those who have studiea the situation closely that the absorp- tion of outlaw talent has left the fields of both the National and American leagues far better balanced than at any previous time Greater New York for the present at | least, flatters itself that the bitter win- ter months have wrought changes of wonderful promise for the three local representatives of fast company. Di illusionment may come later, but now, everywhere, the critics concede all of the Giants, Yankees and Dodgers at least are not outside pennant pros- pects. This happy condition never before prevailed on the eve of a cam- are | | i Doubtless the greatest individual local strengthening has been accomplished by the New Yorl Americans. Within one vear of se- curing the club Col. Ruppert and Capt. Huston spent a round $150,000 for new material. They got some- thing really worth while for the ex- penditure. Home Run Baker, the heaviest gun around which Connie | is playing a game today the equal of anything he ever played, The year's layoff has not dimmed his bat- ting eye nor slowed his fielding skill. Lee Magee, one of the greatest stars of the Federal T.eague, is anotnher giant of offensive and defensive So appears Gedeon, the new second baseman secured from the Federal bargain counter, Entirely New Outfield. The Yankees will open the season this afternoon with an entirely new outfleld. Maisel, shifted from third to the garden to make room for the deadly hitting Frank Baker, is flanked | by two of the fastest fly chasers in the game, and Fritz is no truck horse | himself. Magee will appear in the left or sun field. | Little Frank Gilhooley is camping | in right—in Doc Cook’s place. Gil- hooley, a product of the International | League, so far has been the real star | of Donovan's reconstructed club. His | arm has entirely recovered since he was up before with Frank Chance. This gives Donovan three fast flelders, | who can fleld and throw above the | average standard and who can hit and | Tun the bases better than most outfield | combinations. | Such sharps as McGraw, Jennings, | Robinson and Griffith declare this trio | quite likely this season to prove the most sensational of the Americans | League, not for a moment forgetting the deadly three—Cobb, Crawford and Veach, who work for Hughie Jennings or the fine array of picked talent carried by the Boston Red Sox. It remains to be geen whether the de- parture of Speaker from the Hub will { not have a yawning gap in Bill Car- | | rigan’s rangers. They're Off Here they come—they're off again!
