WASHINGTON, April lO.-Presldcnt
Wilson forgot about the tariff and mat
ters of state for' two hours today and
watched Washington defea tthc Now
York team of the American league by a
score of 2 to 1 In the opening base ball
game of the season here. He tossed tho
first ball from the grandstand, according
to custom.
Vice President Marshall, members ot
the cabinet, senators, representatives and
n great number of official folk were part
of a crowd of 1G.000 people which filled
the ball park.
Bundled In a heavy fur-llncd overcoat,
tho president sat with his daughter, Mini
Eleanor, and Secretary Tumulty, in a
box to the right of the home plate. He
obviously was an Interested spectator,
applauding and cheering frequently us
the game proceeded. Tho weather was
raw and the skies cloudy. Mr. Wlloon
has nlways been a fan. Ho was a fre
quent vlHltor to tho college gutrns at
Princeton and played himself In his
youth. Charles, tfterrett, who played first
baBe for New York, was one ot his
pupils at Princeton three years ago. The
president was cheered enthualuoatlcally rJy
the tcrowd. Ho acknowledged the greet
ing, turned down the brim of hla' brown
fedora hat and eat down to watch the
game.
New York tcored in tho first Inning,
when Daniels was hit by a pitched ball,
went to second on Gandlll's muff of a
hot grounder from Woltcr, and talllo.1 on
Hartzell'a single The Washington team
got men on bases fraqucnty after that,
but never was able to score until tne
seventh. In that Inning, Alnsmlth. the
local catcher, was hit by a" pitched Dail.
though Frank Chance, tho New York
manager, protested from the bench Uiat
he had slipped Into It. Shanks got to
first safely on a high throw by.McCou
nell, tho New York twlrler, to t8orrott.
McUrlde sacrificed, advancing both men. J
Walter Johnson fanned, but Moetler
cracked a .single to right that scored
two runs and gave the Waahlngton t-sam
the game.
For an early season game, thcro were '
few errors and tho game did not lack
In exciting plays. McConnell of New "ork
was hit leas frequently than Johnson, but
'the latter had the better support.
Tho president stayed throughout tho
nine Innings and then autographed sev
eral base balls for the" players.

Umpire Still Will
Be Czar of Field,
Says Ban Johnson
CHICAGO, April 10.-"Thcie will be no
departure from the custom of handling
players who come under the ban of um
pires and league presidents," B. B. John
son, president of tho American league,
asserted tonight, after receiving n lettjr
from David Fultz, head of the Base Ball
Players' fraternity. Mr. Fulti requested
that players be given a hearing before
being suspended or fined.
"The present sybtem Is the only possible
one by which base ball can be conducted
successfully," said President Johnson.
"The umpires are our personal representa
tives on the diamond and their word must
carry weight We brought base ball out
of chaos by the adoption of the present
rules and there Is no reason for a
change.
"The players' fraternity asks that the
player be permitted to present his side
of an argument. This right Is not denied
a man now, but I am sure that no umpire
exaggerates a case In his report. In such
an Instance I would not hesitate to dls
Lhaige the umpire.
"If the public or all of the big league
players could see all the reports of cases
of misconduct It would be seen tho player
usually Is the offender. Nine-tenths of
these cases Involve the use of unprintable
language by players. If there Is excuse
for such language the players are wel
come to consult mo by mall or personally.
I believe that President Lynch of the
National league will sec the necessity of
vesting umpires with supreme authority."
