BE OPPOSITION | To Further Early Openings of Major Baseball Lea In spite of Ban Johnson, Governor Tenor and others who favor early openings for the baseball season, it is evident that a strong fight will be made at next winter's big league meetings for a change in the dates. The almost unbearable weather which greeted the players when they tried to open this year undoubtedly was the fatal straw Five or six magnates have expressed themselves very strongly against another open- ing during the season of uncertain weather, Charles H. Ebbets, presdent of the Brooklyn club, is expected to lead the raiding battalion in the National league, and the New York club will | come put flatly in support of the change in the American league It has been argued by both Ban Johnson and Governor Tener that a later opening date would gain noth- ing because bad weather is just as likely to stnike in May as in April.

During the Buffalo Bil | Show at the park last week, with one-third of the power turned on, a] sharpshooter gave an exhibition of! glass ball breaking, which, in Mr | Ward's opinion rroved that baseball can be played at night. While the Federal League was in existence the Wards paid a large sum for the exclusive lighting privilege, but the experiment did not produce the desired results. Now, however, the system has been so improved that an effort will be made to have the big league men take it up Some of the owners in. other cities are said to be interested. | | BALL MAGNATES WORRIED National League Will Meet to Con- @ der Situation. | The National Licague has calldd a meeting in New York of its club owners for Saturday.

Very few makes of collars have enough tie space--especially in the larger sizes. The design of W. C. & R. collars is such that every man, whether he wears size 14 or 17, secures ample and uniform tie space. W. G. &R. collars are the "slide-casy"' kind--a boon to mankind.
