President James A. Gilmore Pre
dicts Prosperous Season;
Teams Show Improvement
FEDS START TO-IJAY
The Federal league is the first
of the baseball organizations to got
under way east of the Rockies. 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.
ELMIRA LANDS M'CABTHV
Former Harris burg Second Baseman
W as Free Igenl
Another player who became a free
agent when the Tri-State League ex
ploded two weeks ago has found refuge
in the Farrell wheel in the person of
Second Baseman McCarthy, of Har
risburg. Newrf of his having accepted
Elmira's terms was received in Scran
ton last night.
McCarthy played in 109 games last
year. He fielded .935 and hit .272,
scoring 63 runs, making 100 hits and
stealing 39 bases. It is possible that
McCarthy will replace Loudenslager at
the second sack.

"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.

Cigaret Ban Brings
Break With Players
Special to The Telegraph
j Cincinnati. 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.

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.

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.
