Its teams kick off to-day wilh four games. The opening schedule fol lows: Newark at Raltimore. Buffalo at Brooklyn. St. Louis at Chicago. Pittsburgh at Kansas City. Special to The Telegraph Chicago. April 1 o—Predicting a pros perous season, "the best so far," Pres ident James A. Gilmore left last night for Kansas City, where to-day be will watch the opening game of the Fed eral League campaign. Reports re ceived at the league headquarters here to-day were that fair weather and big crowds were expected at the openings at Chicago, where St. l-iouip plays; at Kansas City, with Pittsburgh at Balti more, where the team that won the pennant for Indianapolis will repre sent Newark, and at Brooklyn where Huffalo opens. Most of the Federal League teams, their managers assert, have improved greatly over last year. St. Louis es pecially, President Gilmore says, has increased in strength. Manager Field er Jones having gathered a squad of veterans, including Charley Deal, who was a factor in the Boston Nationals winning the world's championship. A strong infield is the chief reliance of the Pittsburgh team, but reports from Kansas City are not optimistic. The Newark club's loss of Benny Kauff, the league's champion batter, was recorded at headquarters as Brooklyn's gain, and the addition of Jack Dalton, one of the National's strong hitters last year, should help the offensive strength of Buffalo, it is said. In all departments Manager Tinker claims to have helped the Chi cago squad. In Jimmy Smith lie says lie has a shortstop whose excellence may result in the manager adopting a utility role. LA.IOIE REAL VETERAN Only Star Who lias B<*en in American I/eague for Fourteen Years Special to The Telegraph .Pittsburgh, April 10.—Because of the outright release of Billy Sullivan, veteran catcher, by the Chicago White sox, Nap La.ioie is the only American l>eague survivor of 1901 who still is an active player. In fact, there are mighty few Ameri can Leaguers of 1901 who are still in the big leagues, or, for that matter, playing baseball at all. Harry Davis continues to put on a uniform and assist in coaching and morning prac tice. Clark Griffith and Fielder Jones are two others who find themselves able, to work out, but :is players they are through. Kddie Plank is the only other American League 1001 man, and he is now enrolled with the Feds.

He fielded .935 and hit .272, scoring 63 runs, making 100 hits and stealing 39 bases.

"Pep" Young Makes Good With Jennings' Tigers "Pep" Young, the former Harris- i burg intielder, who played in the Pa cific Coast League last season, con- ] tinues to go along like a prairie lire j for Hughie Jennings' Tigers and the I chances are now that he will land the regular second base assignment, at least until Kddie Burns returns to first base and Kavanaugh is sent to fight it out with "Pep" at the keystone. Young is a ten-cylinder whirlwind around second base and the sharps of the Detroit papers who are following the team say that "Pep" reminds them i very strongly of Mike Doolan, the i painless dentist shortstop formerly I with the Phillies. In a recent exhibition game that the j Tigers won "Pep" accepted ten chances j without an error. One writer said of the performance: "He seems to be a marvel of accuracy on ground balls, and the worse the hops are the surer he seems to be of getting them."

HARRY HOCH MOVES T P Former Harrisburg Pitcher Will Play With Browns Harry Hoc.h, former Harrisburg Ipttcher, and lawyer, from Wilmington, Del., who closed the 1911 season for the Browns with that one-hit victory over Bill Doak in the Fall series, may spring a surprise or two this year. Hoch seldom got a chance last year, save in finishing games. When he would be picked to pitch ho usually was tired from working in the "bull pen' the greater part of the game. Hoch's game against the Cards last Fall will entitle him to more conside ration now. He has proved that he has the stuff in him when permitted to get off on the right foot.

Ohio, April 10.—As a re ! suit of the ban which Manager Alagee ! has placet! on the smoking of cigarets j I >y his players, the members of the I Brooklyn Federal League team are on j the verge of a strike, according to the intimation of Artie Hoffman, who left the club in this city. Hoffman and Magee came to an open break over the question when the former refused to abide by the law as set down by the youthful manager and j the veteran declares he will not rejoin the club until he Is requested to by a j personal wire from John 1!. Ward, I president of the club. The remainder of the team went to | Brooklyn, where the season opens to day with Buffalo, but there is very ! likely to be more of a revolt gracing | the scene of action than a ball game, j Hoffman thinks, unless Magee relaxes his iron rule methods. The Brookfeds are all youngsters, unused to rigid discipline, and the ways of their equally youthful manager are very irritating to them, he says. New York Bowlers Lead in National Tournament New York, April 10.—Bowlers from this city and vicinity had displaced the Canadians from the leading posi tions in all divisions of the national bowling tournament to-day.

No Steel Cabooses For Pennsylvania Crews That the Pennsy's plan to construct steel cabin cars to replace the wooden caboose now in service has been tem porarily abandoned, or at least until industrial conditions improve, is the belief of Pennsylvania Railroad offi cials at Altoona. A prominent official stated yesterday that the N-5 all-steel type cabin car, which was built early last year in the Altoona car shops for experimental purposes, is now stored in the shop yards at Fourth street. Various tests were made on the Pennsy's lines with tlu> new cabin and as far as known they proved successful. Railroads eagerly looked forward to the construction of the proposed new ,type cabooses last fall. All modern 'conveniences arc contained in the steel cabins and they are much easier to ride in than the present design since the, N-5 car is mounted on two four wheel trucks.

VICTORY [Continued from First I'nge.] 1 Washington by representatives of the | Treasury and Commerce Departments) to the effect that the country was i sweeping forward to prosperity and j permanent trade betterment, as evi dented in the reports of national bank i examiners, Senator Penrose attacked the Wilson administration for a pros perity "based on European war or ders," and entered a general denial of the data compiled by Secretaries Me- Adoo and Redtield. The Republicans and Progressives will get together again, said the Sena tor. because of "widespread disgust i with business conditions and with tlie Wilson administration"; and in the joining of forces "the mistakes and misunderstandings of the past will be j forgotten." Talking of presidential possibilities, Mr. Penrose thought the i next Republican standard-bearer would not be revealed until the na tional convention met. Harmony IVedictton [ Asked to comment on reports from | Washington that ex-Secretary of State Knox was a likely candidate, Senator Penrose merely said Mr. Knox was the choice of the Pennsylvania delegation at the last convention. Then he launched into his view that complete harmony would again be restored be tween the Republicans and the Bull Moosers. He haid: "It is very evident that the Progress ives, so called, are coming back to the Pennsylvania and elsewhere demon- Republican' party. The last election in strated that they would continue to come back in increasing numbers. The mistakes and misunderstandings of the past will be forgotten and the party will again bo harmonious and re united. "The binding basis of cohesion will be the widespread disgust with busi ness conditions and with the Wilson administration. We will witness an old-fashioned Republican year in 191ti, and during the intervening period con tinued and increasing Republican suc cesses. Criticises Business Reports Asserting that trade reports from Washington were without foundation. Senator Penrose said business would continue to grow worse as long as the 'Underwood tariff stood, and that the only business relief hinged on the elec tion next year. With a newspaper ac count of the Washington otficials' statements before him, Senator Pen rose said: "The press agent reports from time to time by heads of the Treasury and Commerce Departments about im provement in business conditions are absolutely without foundation. About the only actual facts that can he given in these statements are contracts for munitions of war by foreign gov ernments. A business prosperity based upon such foundations surely does not constitute a very valid argument in favor of Democratic policies. "A party that can only vindicate it self because a war is going on in Ku ropc will have to readjust its issues when that war ceases. The fact of the matter is, if free trade policies of the government had not been miti gated by war In its effects the indus ltrial depression in the United States would be many times greater than it is, and the Republican tidal wave would have fairly swept ovf'r the coun try last November, submerging every vestige of Democracy.

As a matter of fact, importation of manufactured goods from Europe is much greater than is generally supposed and there is no business in the I'nited States that has not steadily been getting worse since the enactment or the Underwood tariff law and other harassing legisla tion. "It is natural for business men, in public utterances, to express optimism. .No one wants to own publicly that his business is on the verge of bankruptcy. It is, however, well known to every one who cares to know the facts and Who is in a position to get them that business is going to go steadily from bad to worse under the present ad ministration. and that no hope of im provement of any kind can be held out until the people record their verdict in 1916 in favor of sanity toward busi ness. fairness toward the railroads, a protective policy and Republican poli cies in general, together with the elec tion of a Republican President and a majority in both branches, of Con gress."
