'fWELLYSjg Once more there is a clamor among 1 major league magnates for a later j start of the baseball season. Cold ! • weather, with rain and soggy grounds, I are stopping the games and double- ] headers will again be a feature in June. | j A general belief prevails that It would lie better to take up training in the . South one month later and open the j stason on or about May 1. j In view of the fact that there has I i ' been so much rain and that May may i j be a cold and rainy month. State i i League officials may postpone the,' ] opening date one week. Every team j : will have a large squad at practice by [ j Monday next. To start on May 10 will ]be an easy thing. However, rain and j ! other bad weather conditions may in- j tcrfere with the practice and in order : ; 1o be on the safe side, extending the | ' opening one week and closing the sea- ( ! son one week later. It is said, might I | prove a good thing financially. j The signing up of players through i out the Pennsylvania State League is an assurance that this organization is getting stronger every day. Reports j from the Atlantic League that the j State League has no circuit are caus ! ing many laughs. The only town ' where there have been doubts regard ing grounds are those in which Al. Lawson and his followers have tied up I options until May 1. President Wil- I liam R. Douglas said yesterday: | "Everything comes to him who waits. ! We are moving nicely, and the final j blow to all opposition will be when protection papers arrive." The Alrncliffe and Friendship teams j will start a series of practice games this season.
