NEW YORK, April 12. (AP)
. Despite a bad break in the
weather In the eastern half of the
baseball belt, for the second suc
cessive year, the major "leagues
staged five of their eight sched
uled opening games today, all to
the tune of sparkling pitching per
formances. Turnstiles clicked to the pres
ence of nearly 100.000 cash cus
tomers In the three American and
two National league cities where
festivities and the attendance of
many notables marked the return
of the big show.
President Roosevelt, who toss
ed out the first ball at the capltol,
was among 24,000 fans who saw
the Washington Senators get off
to an impressive start In the Pen
nant campaign by trimming Con
nie Mack's crippled Athletics, 4
to 1, behind the effective twirling
of "General" Alvln Crowder and
Alphonse Thomas.
'A crowd of 25.000 saw Lon
Warneke of the Cubs, leading Na
tional league pitcher of 1932. beat
his St. Louis rival, Diy Dean,
and blank the Cardinals, 3 to 2,
with four hits.
The Pittsburgh Pirates, choice
of the experts to make It difficult
for the Chlcagoans to keep the
pennant, also got four-hit pitching
from young Bill Swift and defeat
ed Cincinnati, 4 to 1, before 25,-
305 fan?.
At Detroit, 19,000 turned out
to see Cleveland capture a 13-ln-ning
struggle from the Tigers, 4
to 1, as Clint Brown outlasted
Tommy Bridges, but an unexpect
edly small crowd, only 4500, saw
the Chicago White Sox beat the
Browns at SL Louis, aided by Al
Simmon's homer.

SALEM HIGH TO
MEET HUBBARD
Red and Btack Ball Squad
Strong but Mound Staff
Ability Uncertain
Salem high school's baseball
season will open this afternoon
on dinger field. Coach Hollls
Huntington's boys meeting Hub
bard high at 3:30 o'clock. The
red and black has had only about
week of formal practice, but
the pitchers were getting In
shape for some time before the
rest of the squad turned out. A
return game will be played on
Hubbard's field the following afternoon.
Coach Huntington Is not cer
tain how his pitchers will stack
up, but believes otherwise he will
have a considerably stronger
team than last year. Dolph Wit-
zel, southpaw who turned in
some excellent twirling late In
the 1932 season, will probably
start the game today. Sam Sher-
rill may start at Hubbard Friday,
and "Massa" Mason may be call
ed upon to try his curves in one
of the games.
Ramp has been moved from
shortstop to first base and has
been showing up well there. Ma
son has been shifted to short
stop and Quistad will play third
base. Salstrom will work at sec
ond.
The outfielders will be Nich
olson, Pearson and either Maerx
or Vera DeJardln, whichever of
those two is not doing the catch
ing. DeJardln Is more experienc
ed behind the bat but he has a
wounded hand at present having
cut ail artery. Maerx has been
Bhowing np well in the mask and
mitt business. displaying a
stronger throwing arm than he
had last year.
The pitching staff was weak
ened when Johnny Perrlne de
cided he would Join the refores
tation corps and dropped out of
school.

It's am ambition a as weU as
an attractive boxiag card that
the amateur leather pushers of
Salem have lined up for to
night at 8:80 at the armory,
and we hope It will be weU pa
tronised. The purpose la to
raise funds U send a Salem
boxing team to the state tour
nament la Portland. The wrest
lers lost out at Tacoma be
cause of inability to finance a
trip for .a large squad, and
that shouldn't happen to the
boxers. In addition to the
bouts listed in yesterday's
paper, there la one between
Manning of Salem and Mor
gan of O. 8. 0 which some
how wacnt included in the
first story.
The first baseball game of the
season In Salem is scheduled for
today, Salem high vs. Hubbard
high on dinger field. Parrish
will play Gervals here Friday af
ternoon. Fans who prefer track
and field sports will see their
first interseholastio competition
of the year today also, Salem
high meeting Dallas high on
Sweetland field.
Three members of the Sa
lem Senators squad have been
doing a cleanup Job on the
Olinger field ball orchard such
as has never been attempted
before, and ft will now be pos
sible for outfielders to gase
skyward at the ball as tbey
run. Instead of becoming cross
eyed trying to keep one eye on
the horsehide and the other on
the mountainous terrain.
All of the uneven sod has
been scraped off and the out
field will be Just as level as the
Infield; the stakes to which cows
have been tethered also were re
moved, and from now on an
outfielder ought to be a good in
surance risk. Some additional
work will be done. Including the
clearing of a practice field In
front of the batting cage to the
north. Manager Bashor. Wilson
and Gibson are doing the work.
The Senators were a trifle
at bat last season, but
they shouldn't be this year.
Not only is some new slugging
talent In sight, but Bashor has
the boys looking at real pitch
ing in batting practice, and as
be has both port and starboard
fliagers to work with, the boys
should be able to see either
kind before long. They worked
out Wednesday and will prac
tice again Friday.
Salem Golf club will have a
1.2 sweepstakes tournament,
whatever that Is, next Sunday.
Negotiations are nnder way for
a team match with SUverton
Country club, and it will prob
ably be held wKhln the next
few weeks. The spring handicap
tournament Is also looming near.
Qualifying play in the Elks' tour
nament Is continuing. The quali
fying round will terminate April
II. o
Indicating that the working
man's lot is not so hard, we
observed one walking home
ward the other day with a
dinner pall in one hand and a
Jigsaw puzzle in the other.
Which reminds us of a little
girl, aged three, who gazed at
her mothers new finger wave
with Its scalloped edge across
the forehead, and then observed:
"Mama, your hair looks like a
Jibsaw puxsle that needs another
piece."
MICKEY MOUSE
SUI ID DALLAS
TO MEET ON TRACK
Salem high school's track team
will engage in interscholastlc com
petition for the first time this
season this afternoon on Sweet-
land field when the Dallas high
team comes here. Coach Shreere
of Dallas, is reported to havs a
strong team this year and the Sa
lem boys may have to hustle to
win.
Coach Vernon Gllmore of Sa
lem high, did not find much to
ehesr him in the lnterclass meet
which was a formal tryout for
"varsity" aspirants, but with hard
work and some improvement in
form, the Salem high team may
make a good showing before the
season is over. The best marks in
the lnterclass meet were made in
the weight events and the distance
runs.
