HE overture for the opening of the Daseball season was played to day when five happy young ath- fetes boarded the steamship Proteus and “ Giants at Marlin, Tex, Faria who had been in winter quarters for several) months came from all quarters to eee the hopefuls off, and but for the tey winds which played around the trousers lege on the deck of the ship the scene would have made ua think of the days when a two-base Wallop gets more at- tention than @ President's message. ‘The athletes who left New York for the training grounds were Louis Gowdy, the utity first baseman; Dick Rudolph, ine of the most promising of the young pitchers; Clyde Fullerton, an infielder, and Ernest Lush, the lad who signed last year for an outfielder and made | such a good showing at first base wat | Merkie was jame that McGraw notion of playing him there for the iret few weeks. Unfortunately he fractured his ankle and could not continue. LOGIS GowPY | The fifth man of the party is C.

The fans and players arived at the pler an hour before salling time snd several jokes were attempted om the youngsters, One of these was an effort to make Clyde Fullerton look for the bowling alleys, Bill Gray told Gowdy that the time would not hang heavily on his hands during the sea trip as he Jcould play billiards all the way down and Louls was on the when somebody put him wise. The next bunch of players will ae next Thursday by rail and will arrive in Texas about the same time as thoso who go by boat. The ratiroad trip takes two and a half days. Beginning with this departure of play- ers trom New York, there will be groups of players starting from all parts of the country for Marlin, snodgrass, Shafer and those who lve in the West will go direct, while those living in the Middle Louls and West will assembie at St, start from there.
