Grabar Homes;
Lew Saves Mix
Wilkie Tires in Ninth ;
Second Game Tonight
By AI Lishlner
The brand spankin new and
home owned Salem Senators got
off to a flying start last night at
Waters field as they upended the
Tri-City Braves 9 6 In the 1951
Western International league op
ener. A crowd of slightly less than
4500 took In the commencer des
pite frigid weather, missing by less
than 300 admissions of breaking
the all-time opening night record
of 4750 here.
The large gathering, which must
have included most of the 832 folks
who now own the Solons, was
treated to some lusty hitting by
Hugh LubyYclan, a rousing home
run by Norm Grabar, a snappy
hurling stint by Lefty Aldon Wilkie
for eight frames, a still snappier
relief job by Ludwig Lew and a
w thoroughly enjoyable Victory over
Lou McCollum, an elongated gent
who has taken much delight In
'subduing Salem teams with ease
the past three seasons.
Wilkie breezed through the
enemy for eight-plus innings,
yielding but five hits and two un
earned runs before he tired and
'became wild. His first successor,
Johnny Burak, had no luck at all,
and. before Lew was called in to
take over three runs were scored.
Lefty Ludwig retired the side In
1-3-3 order, however, to capture
the victory for the Newberg south
paw. .
Salem was ahead 9-2 when the
Braves broke loose with their late
rally.
Apparently anxious to show the
home folks that they do possess
plenty of potential runs in their
makeup, the Solons banged Mc
Collum for single tallies in each
rf th first four innines. two
more in the sixth and three in the
eighth, all on 11 hits, five Mc
Collum walks and three Tri-City
errors.
An error and singles by Grabar
and George McDonald brought in
the first run of the campaign.
Glenn Tuckett's first of two dou
bles for the game, followed by Bill
Beard's single and Wilkie's line
out to left field, netted No. 2.
Grabar leveled off on a McCollum
.curve in the third and drove it
farover the Chadwick hotel ad
in right field for the third run,
and Tuckett's second double, fol
lowed, by Beard's single accounted
for the fourth. ,
A walk. Beard's single and an
error by McCollum himself on a
wild throw to third base after
Wilkie bunted were worth the
two runs in the s ixth. In the
eighth Wilkie's single to center,
a walk, Mgr. Luby's line single to
left, another error and McDonald's
sharp, single to right netted the
final tallies for the resident nine.
Tri-caty picked up two un
earned runs off Wilkie in the
seventh on an error, three walks
and a ground-out. Other than get
ting tired in the final frame, the
only- thing wrong with Wilkie's
makeup for the opener was his
control. He walked nine before he
- was taken out.
But all is quite pardonable for
the former Bucco. His spring
training amounted to Just about
one week in all, during which he
pitched four innings against
Stockton last Saturday. He did an
amazing job last night for the
amount of work he has had.
Most of the prize booty put up
lor the opener by Salem mer
chants was taken home by Gra
bar and McDonald. Both won
around $100 worth of the loot. '
Of the 11 Salem hits Beard
biffed three and Tuckett, Mc
Donald and Grabar two each.
Buddy Peterson and Neil Bryant
each had a pair of the seven
blows the Braves collected.
Things looked bad when Lew
took over in the ninth. Five runs
were in, no one was out and two
runners were aboard. Ludwig got
Bui Edelstein on a ground-out,
however, on which one run scor
ed. He then got Pinch-hitter Artie
Wilson and Leadoffer Al Spaeter
on hoppers to Third-baseman
Glenn Tuckett to retire the side.
Not yet in shape. Outfielder
Glenn . Stetter didn't ? play last
night Pitcher Ray McNulty, ob
tained with Stetter from Spokant
for Mel Wasley, should check in
to town today. .
Second game of the series to
night will find Dick Stone of Tri
City opposing Jerry Barta of the
Sal ems, both righthanders. The
series will end with Sunday's
doubleheader at 1:30 o clock.

The publisher of The Statesman
called for a balance between pre
servation and use of forests,

resource development projects.
The preservation of the state's
beauty and value is a challenge to
all residents, he added, praising the
IWLA for helping to lead the way.

Sox sunk to a new low today as the Philadelphia Athletics spiked th
Bostonians' guns, 6-3, in their own Fenway Park lair. f I
Philadelphia's triumph is the highlight of th young season. Th
victory not only is Philadelphia's first, over the highly regarded Red
Sox in more than two years in Boston, but it also was authored by
Alex Kellner, a lefthander. j
Rare, Indeed, are the occasions when a lefthander goes the rout
against the powerful Red Sox and beats them in Fenway Park. This
odd event occurred only twice last year, once each by Hal Newhouser
of Detroit and Gene Bearden of Washington. - . .
Kellner muzzled the Red Sox on four hits in spoiling the Sox
home opener. A crowd of 11,461 turned out to see Boston lose its third
straight without a win. -;.
The Washington Senators took undisputed possession of first plac
in the American league by winning both ends of a day-night double
header from the New York Yankees, 5-3. and 8-4. The Senators hav
won four in a row without ar setback. j
Cuban Sandalio Consuergra turned back th Yanks in the day
game as Washington belatedly opened its home season before 27,331
fans including President Harry Truman. The same was n nlavnff of
Monday's scheduled opener. j - . - tj '
Lefty Al Sima scattered 10 hits In the night game "attended by
15,553 in outpitching the Yanks rookie flash Tom Morgan. Mickey
Vernon drove in four runs on a triple, double and pair of singles.
President Truman got booed twice when he entered the presi
dential box, and again in the eighth Inning when it was announced
that no one was to leave the field until the president had gone.
The Senators collected only two hits off five Yankee pitchers but
13 bases on balls ruined the Yanks. Starter Tommy Byrne granted
eight walks in less than four inning and Bob Muncrief forced in a
run with three walks in the fourth after relieving Byrne. h
The amazing Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians roll
ed to their third consecutive victories of the season. The; Sox, behind
Randy Gumpert, upset the Detroit Tigers, 5-0, before 8,731 opening
day fans in Chicago. Veteran Bob Feller turned back the inept St.
Louis Browns, 4-1, before 48,316 inaugural fans in Cleveland.-
Gumpert stifled the Tigers with three singles and drove home two
runs. The Sox sewed it up with three runs In the third with the help
of three Tiger errors and the wildness of Bengal pitcher iTed Gray.
Feller scattered five hits, fanned eight, and walked five in down
ing the Browns. The Indians wrapped it up with four runs in the sec
ond on five walks, a single, double and error. Pinch-hitter Hank Arft
homered for the lone St. Louis run in the ninth i
Opening day was a sad affair for the New York Giants apd th
Philadelphia Phils. The Brooklyn Dodgers spoiled the day for' 30,870
fans at the polo grounds by beating the Giants, 7-3. The Boston Bra
ves downed the Phils, 2-1, before 17,423 fans in Philadelphia.
Newcombe stopped the Giants on five hits and won out in th
fifth when the Brooks scored four runs, of which only one was earn
ed. ' 1-
Max Surkont, sophomore righthander up from the Pacific Coast
league, tamed the Phils on two safeties and drove home the winning
Boston run with a fly balL The lone Phil run was unearned.
Gerry Staley pitched a strong nine-hitter as the St Louis Cardi
nals marked their initial home appearance by beating' the Chicago
Cubs, 5-1, in night game. The Cards collected only seven hits includ
ing a home run by Joe Garaglola. Three hits and. two walks account
ed for lour Card runs and the ball game in the fifth.
