COOL WEATHER FACTOR
IN OPENING GAMES
Feds Started the Season Today;
Major Leagues Will Line Up
Tomorrow
With a bit too much coolness, the
■baseball season of 1914 started to-day.
Major leagues do not open until to
morrow and so the Baltimore and
Buffalo teams of the Federal League
received lirst attention.
Unusual interest is manifested in
tho big game this season because of
the many different opinions as to the
chances for a third major organiza
tion's making good. Neither the Na
tional or American League will show
any extraordinary weakness because
of the loss of players to the Feds, in
their opening predictions both Gover
nor John K. Tener of the Nationals
«nd Han B. Johnson of the Americans,
prophesy a successful season.
Harri: burg fans who seldom miss an
opening game will go to Philadelphia
to see the Phillies and New York
Giants get under way. Big prepara
tions have been made for the opening
tamo in the Quaker City. Governor
John K. Tener. president of the Na
tional League, will attend. He 'has
arranged that Mayor Blankenburg toss
out the first ball, (n the American
the Athletics start their season with
the New York Yankees in New York.
Umpires Instructed;
New Rules Interpreted
New York, April 13.—With special
instructions carefully stowed away
-with their certificates of authority, the
National League umpires left for their
respective fields of labor this morn
ing.
Governor John K. Tener, president
of the National League, was unable to
be present at the conference held here
Saturday. Governor Tener mailed his
instructions to* Secretary John W.
Heydler, who presided over the meet
ing. Changes in some of the rules this
season made it necessary for an offi
cial interpretation.
Tt was decided to enforce the so
called Infield fly rule in the same
manner as it had been interpreted by
National League executives for several
seasons past. The balk rule will also
tie enforced as last season in those
cases where pitchers, with men on
bases, drop that ball, either by intent
or accident, while in the act of de
livering the ball to the batter or in
throwing to first base. The impires
were also expected :o enforce strictly
the new rules preventing a coaelier
,-it third base from touching a base
runner. A runner trying for or round
ing that base, who. either through ac
cident or design, comes in contact with
the coacher, will be declared out.
The pairing of the officials and their
iissignmeitts for llie opening games
:ire as follows:
Klem and Hart hi Brooklyn, Kason
and Quigley at Philadelphia; Orth
and Byron at Cincinnati and Rigler
and Enislie at St. Louis. Johnson will
act as substitute lor the time being.
Lincoln will be ready to assume a
major league assignment at any time,
lliough lie will be attached to Presi
dent O'Kourke'S stall of the Eastern
Association.
The umpires in attendance were
Robert D. Emslie, of St. Thomas, Can
ada: William J. Klem, of Lakewood.

MEAT INJURIOUS
10 THE KIDNEYS
Take a tablespoonful of Salts if
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers
We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood in tilled with uric acid, nays
a well-known authority, who warns ua
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like lumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder
is irritable, obliging you to seek relief
during the night: when you have se
vere headaches, nervous and dizzy
Kpells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with llthla, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu
tralize the acids In urine so it Is no
longer a source of irritation, thus end
ing urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drinlt, and nobody can
make a. mistake by taking a little occa
sionally to keep t.h« kidnoye clean and
i at uV Jvui'tuicauiut. ,

TROUT SEASON OPENS
SOUSE WEDNESDAY
Local Anglers Are Prepared For a
Busy Time; Fly Fishing
Will Be Popular
Unless it starts to rain to-day and
keeps up until Wednesday there will
be no colored or swollen streams to
lessen the ardor of the trout i|thermen
who will have their first day out on
Wednesday. The season runs from
April 15 until July 15.
Reports from local dealers of large
taies of tackle indicate' much interest
in trout fishing this year. That there
will l>e a great rush of Isaak Walton
followers to nearby streams on Wed
nesday is not doubted. Trout should
be plentiful, according to many old
timers. The State has been stocking
; streams with trout for several years
! and this season many of these trout
i will be large enough to catch.
Harrisburgers will, as usual, be
I found throughout the Cumberland
j valley along mountain streams, in
: and about Ncwville and Carlisle and
| near Pine Grove.' Some of the local
trout enthusiasts will go to the moun
tain streams in Perry, Mitflin, Hunt
ingdon and Blair counties. Others will
take an eastward course and will be
found in Lebanon and Berks counties.
, The majority of the anglers, as in the
past, will leave Tuesday night so as
to be on the job bright and early
; Wednesday morning.

Earl Hamilton, Pitcher, Taken by the Federals
%
VI hen Ban Johnson, president of the American League, learned that
ueorge Stovall, manager of the Kansas City team of the Federa' League,
had taken Earl Hamilton, who was signed to pitch this year for the
American League club of St. Louis, he declared war. "The American Lea
gue will stop Hamilton if it takes every dollar in the treasury," said John
son. He signed a most liberal three-year contract with the St. Louis
Browns, and nothing will be left undone to check him for his wilful viola
tion ot his contract."
s of a player from the St. Louis Americans was done
with the sanction of the Federal League, President Gilmore said. "Or
ganized baseball tried to wreck Stovall's Kansas City club and took away
Blanding and Baumgardner, who had signed legal contracts with him"
said Gilmore. "Therefore, I gave the Kansas City club permission to deal
with members of the St. Louis team, whether they had signed contracts
or not. If organized ball goes into court over Hamilton's jumping and the
courts give him back to the Browns then the same decision will return
Blanding and L?aumgardner and Hogue to us. Besides Hamilton there are
four or five members of the St. Louis Americans wanted by Stovall and he
has my full sanction to get them If he can."

Harrisburg Plans
Are Again Changed;
Line Up at Bucknell
Plans for preliminary work by the J
Harrisburg Trl-State aggregation have
i been changed. Instead of starting!
work in Harrisburg to-morrow, Man-1
nger Coekill notiftod his youngsters to'
j report at Lewisburg to r niorrow and
Wednesday. The stars will line up*on
Monday next.
This change In plans has caused
much disappointment among the fans.
The new orders came about after a
conference between Manager Coekill.
and his backers late Saturday after-1
noon. One reason advanced was thati
the Island Park grounds Is not in
condition for baseball practice.
Manager Coekill also stated that
playing at Lewisburg would give hid
candidates nn opportunity to play
against the Bucknell squad and better j
results will follow. The squad will
not bo home until April 30, when prac
tice will start at Island Park at 10 j
o'clock in the morning.
The first game will be played Fri
day, April 24, with Bucknell at Lew
isburg. On Saturday the team will
play at Scranton with Bill Coughlin
and his teammates. Monday and Tues
day, April 27-28, Wllkes-Barre will
entertain the Senators; ;and on Wed
nesday, April 29, the team will play atl
Bloomsburg with the Norma) School'
team. The first game at home will be I
with Buffalo, N. Y., on May 2, unless!
present plans are changed. Not until
lie t.«; able to count noses will Man-1
*scr Coekill officially name his line-up.!
