TEAMS WINNERS . IN FIRST GAME . American League Season Opened in Two Cities; Walter Johnson Ineffective; Baker Drives in Three Runs. Washington, April IS. The Amer ican league base ball season opened here today with a six to three vfctory for the Xcw York Americans over Washington, due larly to the in effectiveness of Walter Johnson, particularly against Frank Baker, who lrove in three runs for the visitors. President Wilson, who usually throws out the first ball, was not able '.o be present and District Commiss oner Louis Brownlow acted in his place. The only ceremony was the raising of the American flag while a band played "The Star Spangled Ranner" and the players stood with heads bared. The 10,000 spectators listened attentively to a Liberty loan orator and lated cheered, lustly when a huge Caproni biplane flew over the field dropping minature Liberty bells. . New York took the. lead in the first "inning and was never headed, ' although in the fourth inning the locals drove Morgridge from the box. Russell stopped the rally. NEW YORK. WASHINGTON.

Ruth held Phila j delphia to four hits in as many inn ings in. the first game of the season here today, Boston winning 7 to 1, in . a none too cleanly played contest. Conditions for the game were the best this city has seen in ,years for an opening contest, yet the attend ance was only slightly more than 7,000. , - ,,- Before' the game the teams paraded, displaying third Liberty loan insignia. . .

Mclnnis' sole fielding chance at third base, a new position for him was a high foul which he caught after a hard run. Strunk singled and drew a base on balls, also making catch in senter field which cut off at least two Philadelphia runs. PHILADELPHIA. BOSTON. AB.H.O.A.E.

Grover Cleve- and Alexander, premier pitcher of the National league, may attempt to en list in the navy instead of waiting to be drafted in thearmy. After a conference here today with Charles Weeghman, president of the Chicago Nationals, Alexander went to tne Great Lakes naval training station to see Commander Moffatt in this regard.

You cannot overestimate the im portance of keeping the blood free of impurities. When you realize that the heart is constantly pumping this vital fluid to alt parts of the body, you can easily see that any impurity m the blood will cause serious com plications. Any slight disorder or impurity that creeps into the blood is a source of danger, for every vital organ of the body depends upon the blood sup ply to properly perform its functions. Many painful and dangerous dis eases are the direct result of a bad condition of the blood.

HUNTER. MERELY by way of casual and . neutral observation, it would ap pear that Colonel J. C. Miller, the ambitious anget from Oklahoma, who proposes to stage a $100,000 fight just for the fun he will get out of it, or some of his comrades in the venture, have been giving the steam caliope a little too much freedom. Unless the colonel brings the braying of his type writer battery to an abrupt halt he is likely to take" to the movies for his Independence day entertainment. Heavyweight championship prize fights always arouse the ire of the bulsheviki anyway and the impending fracas is skating on especially thin ice. In these wartime days it is the aim to see that if there is to be any luring of wealth of the unwary that it is lured into the coffers of the govern ment, the Red Cross or some other war charity, and the prospect that a couple of human man-eaters are to get away with more than $100,000 of the coin of the nation rests uneasily upon the consciences of many good citizens. Colonel Miller already has discovered that his heavyweight toys will not be permitted to light in several choice locations and one outspoken governor has been gone so far as to coyly sug gest that the. belligerent ones .do their belligerenting" over in France. So if Colonel Miller does not want his Fourth of July'entertainment to be a total loss it would be advisable for him to tie the tinware to the noise brigade, or at least loft pedal the out bursts about the coin that is to' be corralled. ( Eddie's Achievement. ' THE boys in the back room are be A ginning to groom Eddie Mc Goorty for the grand old -comeback Eddie was a regular fighter in the old days before he canoed across the big pond to Australia and became the Beau Brummel of George Street and also had his features altered by the late Les Darcy. Now Eddie has re turned to Oshkosh and to. collect a few of the American dollars Jess Wil lard overlooks. His first opponent was one Brennan. He won a signal victory over Brennan and the experts have pegged him for the great res toration. ; r All of wjiich no doubt is perfectly right and proper except that Mr. Brennan has been bounced against the canvas almost as many times as Ter rible Tom Cowler. So far as can be learned the releree has disqualified h"m every time he has started. If Eddie can pull a comebacK oy beating this Brennan bird, Battling Nelson should, be able to win back his lost championship by kicking some sick child in the face. Start and Finish.

It was bringing a cargo of mangatrese from Brazil. ; Orders for greater efforts to find the missing collier went out today to American ships. In addition, allied naval craft on patrol duty in the south are aiding in the search. So far not one word has come to clear up the mystery of the collier's disappearance.' Secretary Daniels said today, however, that he still clung to the hope that the vessel would re port, as many other navy ships have done, after they had been given up for lost. , ' " Vanished from Sea.

The big carrier has simply vanished from the sea. No possibly theory was rejected by officials in seeking an explanation. Suggestions heard most frequently were that German agents had boarded the ship in port and captured itjrom its people at sea; that it had broken in two and gone down in a sudden squall; that it had been overtaken by a submarine and sunk without trace; that an internal explosion "had sent it down. All of these suggestions had flaws in them, it was said. A theory that it had been captured by a group of German agents aboard appeared to be the only explanation that would a count for the silence of its radio ap paratus. n ii .i m. AMUSEMENTS.
