American League Opener Set April 10 In Washington BOSTON (AP) - The expanded American League opens its 60th baseball season April 10 when it welcomes two new franchises and also it hopes President Ken nedy to its year of "firsts." The 1961 schedule announced to day by American League Presi dent Joe Cronin lists the tradition al opener at Washington with Chi cago providing the opposition. While Griffith's Stadium will pro vide a familiar surrounding and the name "Washington Senators" a familiar ring, the franchise is new. So is the Los Angeles entry. What fans knew last season was the Wshington club had moved its bats, gloves and business as pirations to Minnesota's twin cit ies, Minneapolis-St. Paul. Conditions permitting,- President Kennedy noted for his keen In terest in athletics will keynote the AL year of change by throw ing out the first pitch for the first time. The American League boasts these other firsts: 1. First major circuit to move to 10-teams, a year in advance of the National League target date for the addition of New York and Houston. 2. Increase of the team sched ules from 154 to 162 games. 3. first regular scheduling of twi-night doubleheaders. Previous ly twi-night doubleheaders were al lowed only as makeups for post poned games. For the first time since 1938, ex Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Wil liams will not cast his impressive Dick Savilf Is Favored To Win Indoor Crown NEW YORK (AP) - Dick Savitt, semi-retired and' partly ailing, is the favorite to win the national indoor tennis championship that starts a live-day run tonight. The big New Yorker, runner-up the last two years to Alex Olmedo and Barry Mackay, respectively, is seeded wo. l among the U. S. Dele gation, and takes on Bailey Brown of Bronxville, N. Y., in his first round matcn. Savitt's right arm bothered him all last year and he played very little tennis. But it has been com ing around. Ron Holmberg beat mm in the iinal of the Buffalo indoor tournament recently. "My arm is all right now," he said. "It shouldn't hamper me at all." Savitt has won the tournament twice, in 1952 and 1958. If he wins this year, he will retire the trophy no mean feat. No one has been able to win it three times in the past 25 years. Don McNeill and Bill Talbert both won it twice, but Jack Kra mer, Bobby Riggs and Pancho Gon zales have only one victory to their credit. Behind Savitt on the U. S. list are Hon Holmberg of Brooklyn, who plays Evert Schneider of the Netherlands; Whitney Reed of Ala meda, Calif., who opposes Robert Bruloot of Belgium, and Chris Crawford of Piedmont, Calif., who plays Sid Schwartz of Long Beach, N. Y. . ' Only Crawford might have trou ble. The veteran Schwartz always has been a good indoor player, and, in fact, was runner-up for the title in 1948. Orlando Sirola, who along with Nicola Pietrangeli, clobbered the 5 United States in the semifinal of the Davis Cup competition last year, is the No. l foreign seed. Then come Billy Knight of Eng land, Rafael Osuna of Mexico and Pierre Darmon of France. Sports Calendar Thursday Wrestling Illinois Valley vs. Glendale Pi rates, 6:30 p.m., Glendale.
