Text	[from Ella Black's column] Well the season has been opened at last and it is safe to say that the Brotherhood, as represented by the Players' League, has so far left the National League far in the rear. There was a wonderful contrast here in the opening day parades of the two bodies. The old League turn-out consisted of a band of music, the players of the Allegheny and Cleveland clubs and the reporters who were compelled to attend the game. The new club had two bands with the players and a long line of carriages, filled with well-known citizens who favor the move that has been made. The first parade in passing through the streets got no reception at all. There was neither cheers nor hisses. On the other side there was a continuous roar of applause for the Players' parade from the time it made a start from the Hotel Anderson until it passed into the new grounds. I saw both the turnouts and know whereof I speak. It was very evident the new League only needs to play anything like a fair game to capture the lion's share of the patronage...
