I 1' MILLERS TO OPEN WITH TEBEAUITES American Association Play to Start with Continuation of Old Fight. By O'Loughlln. S The American association teams start In on 'fr the season play tomorrow. Minneapolis grap pies with the minions of Wnltewings Tebeau ,x at LoulsTille. The Kansas City -mutts open up with Columbus. Dick Padden's paralytics start -t UP with Watkins' Texas leaguers, and Joe Can tillon's rowdies start the proceedings with Bill $*. Clarke's mudhens at Toledo. 3j Today brings about another lowering of the war clouds, in that Charley Havenor has broken off the reservation and started a war dance on the question of the official ball. He has noti fied Joe Cantillon to take his brood off the Toledo field if anything but the Victor ball is thrown out by the arbitrator. This will Preb ably result in the playing of the games under protest and the reference of the whole matter Jfto the national commission for adjudication. Havenor says the national commission has no hand In the matter, but the reading of the national agreement, in which the Amerioan as sociation acquiesced, should clear up the gray I matter which is supposed to have its resting place behind Charles' bulging brow. i The opening and ball fight comes after a I winter of wrangling. The magnates have quar 1 reled like a set of fishwives from the close of play last year until the opening day. This has given the baseball world a fine insight into the j?'trickery and politics of baseball has shown the i ^public that baseball is nothing more or less than |:?".a big business enterprise, and that among the 1*^ magnatesor some of. them at leastsportsman- 1' -hip is about as minus as the society element at 1 *u* an ireomoulders' excursion. Tb accident to Freeman puts Minneapolis 1 .-info the race with something of a handicap. 1 W'tEuck" was in the best condition of his career in Minneapolis, and thru ~tiie injury will be 1 out tor three weeks at least. Hart will cover first base, and, while be is a heavy hitter, i ^an hardly be expected to handle the work I ground the first corner as satisfactorily as would ..fae more experienced man. Hart is an out sider and not accustomed to the close play troqud the bases. The strength of the various clubs is a matter 0t eonjeoture All of them have been changed since the close of play last season, and how the n~ material will work will not be known .sntil after the first ten days of playif then. I Minneapolis fans are generally satisfied with I fcthe miller outlook and are depending upon Kelley If^to give the eity another season of first-class *$8MbaU. From present outlook they will not be disappointed. CADWALLADER TO JOIN MILLERS NEXT WEEK Gadwallader, one of Lajole's twirlers, will be turned ovejr to Minneapolis the latter part of titis jreek, and Magnate Kelley expects him to JoinJthe team Monday. Cadwallader is a clever slab performer, but dajoie has decided to cut down his large list Of players He has confidence in his old pitching Staff, and Cadwallader, thru the working of this Idea, will Join the Minneapolis team. In Cleveland the idea of the loss of Cad wallader is not well received, as the pitcher -h^ad made an excellent showing thru the prac tice-game series, and the fans of the lake village had "expected him to do great things this season. WALKER DRAWS THE LINE ON H00SIERD0M Pitcher Tom Walker refuses to accept his transportation for Indianapolis, and went so far last night at one time as to start to pack his grip to go home to Philadelphia. "I do not want to be switched from one club to another," said he, "and I think it an in justice to be sent elsewhere without a trial even He is still in the city, and it is understood has decided to stay here until the opening to morrow at least. There is some hint at his going to the outlaws, but it is not verified by Walker himself. "MARVIN HART IS HOPEFHL OF YIGTORY LoolSTlUa, Ky., April 17.Marvin Hart left today for French Lick, where he will remain until four days before his four-round bout with George Gardner before Tim Hurst's Twentieth Century club at Madison Square Garden, New York, scheduled for April 30.

Sporer will be slab-artist for the Lunds at the opening and will have a good bunch to support him. Watertown has been training at St. Paul for nearly two weeks and is saiu to be in first-rate opening condition. 7 SAINTS TO BE FED Commercial Club Plans Banquet for Lennon and His Team. ml President George B. Lennon, Manager Dick J! tadden and the St. Paul American association & team will be the guests of honor at a banquet it* to be given by the Commercial club on the eve- IP nlng of May 5, the date of the opening of the home season, with a game with the Columbus champions.

He says further that if it comes to closing parks he is readj, and if the association is to be disrupted he can stand it. He also claims the national commission has no jurisdiction In internal affairs of the association and should not meddle with the ball question.

Should the saints trim the millers without even the bench direction Of Kelley, there would at once be a- cry that things would be different if Kelley were there.

Company of St. Paul lined up in all its pride against a bunch of left-overs from before the Spanish war last nhjht with the full expec tation of having a merry time with the "has beens" in a little burlesque indoor baseball. There was a merry time, but the vets were the jesters and the crack team of this season was the Jest. When the smoke and dust of bat tle had cleared away from the drill-hall of the new armory it was apparent that the oldtlmers had won by a score of 20 to 12. Company practiced hard for this game and played it well, but could make no headway against the reckless play of the veterans who were trained in the old armory where outfield work was simply a hurdle race over the cannon, and the art of batting was to place the ball where it would go thru a window.
