(Special to The Evening World.) AMERICAN LEAGUE PARK, NEW YORK, April 14.—The baseball season is under way in Manhattan. Twenty thousand shouting, stamping tans helped the eighteen uniformed, shivering young men from New York and Beantown, representing the New York Americans and the champion Boston team, start the first game of the year this afternoon, and kept up the shouting and stangping all through the better part of the two hours the game consumed. Of course there was a band td contribute to the gayety of the occasion, Uthough no one paid any attention to the music, Then, too, there were Jags and bunting, thousands of the little and big ones, and miles and miles of varlegated cloth, Spring hats of straw and winter jack-| flied to Fultz, Collins Mned through short and. second for a hans, and wraps were sido by side with the young er) who thpugit summer el i grabbed bec to left field bleach- came with the first ball game and put bbed by Ce Coline, sia NS.

ST.PETERSBURG, April 44,—Fresh disasters to the Russian pa are reported to-day officially by Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky, who has taken provisional command of the fleet at Port Arthur since the de struction of the Petropaviovsk and the death of Admiral Makaroff. ‘The torpedo-boat destroyer Bezstrashni reconnoitring beyond tie protection of the shore guns:got separated from the rest of the scout boats and was attacked by several Japanese destroyers. There was a brisk fight, but the Beztrashni was literally smothered. The Japanese poured it @ deadly fire from all sides and although the Russians fought to the last. ditch the Beztrashni was sunk. Only five of the crew. were saved. The rest went down to death with the destroyer. em POBIEDA. TOO, NEARLY BLOWN UP.

The big sh} battle-ship Pobieda left Port Arthur with other heavy vessels of the fleetto attack the Japanese fleet. ; Reinforced by some twenty vessels of war, the Japanese fleet wel- comed the chance to fight. The Pobieda had wandered beyond the protec tion of the shore guns and was manoeuvring when the Japanese reinforce. ments came along. She started back with the rest of the fleet.
