Games of Season
By Carl Lundqulst
(United Pram Staff Corrrapondent)
New York, April 18 Ui If com
lng events cast their shadows be
fore them in the 1945 baseball
season, it's going to be a rough
year for the pitchers.
In direct contrast to the 1944
opening day games, the pitchers
took it hard and heavy yesterday
with, only five of- the 1$ starters
managing to stick it out to the tin'
lah. There, were 77 hits in, each
league as. qpmpared with only 36
doled out by National league lung
ers in the. 1944. opening games
and 59 by American leaguers
The batters made. 12 home runs,
two with the. bases loaded. Seven
were hit in the National, where the
batters didn't get any in 1944
openings and five in the American
as compared; witlv three, a year
ago, -
' .Many- Runs Scored
Production of runs was almost
on an. assembly line basis in some
parks and tne 4!) -scored in tne
American league contrasted with
only 15 a year ago. There were
45 in the National against only
13 on the first- day of 1944.
The most tolling homer of the
day was delivered by Russ Derry
of the, Yankees, coming with the
bases loaded in the seventh ana
capping a seven-run. rally which
netted an 8 to 4, victory over the
Boston, Red Sox. Derry, who also
hit an earlier homer, delivered the
grand' slam blow, with the score
tied at 4-all and sent pitcher Rex
Cecil- to the showers. Atley Don
ald weathered a bad. first inning
when the Red Sox made three
runs but went on to gain the win.
The day's biggest hit-fest was
at Philadelphia, where Washing
ton got 15 blows off five Athletic
pitchers to gain a 14 to 8 victory.
Joe Kuhel paced the Senators with
four hits to drive in five runs,
White Sox Win
The Chicago White Sox rallied
late to win 5 to 2 at Cleveland,
left-hander Thornton Lee, getting
credit for the victory. Both, of the
Indians' runs were unearned,
coming in the sixth on errors after
which Lee retired.
The St, Louis Browns, who
paved the way for their American
league pennant by winning their
first nine games, to set a new cir
cuit record started out on the right
foot again, topping the Detroit
Tigers and. their pitching ace Hal
Newhouser, 7 to 1. Pitcher. Sig
Jakucki yielded only six hits for
the most effective job of the day.
Ted WJlks and Eldred Byerly of
the champion St. Louis Cards col
laborated in a losing four-hitter,
the Cubs winning 3 to 2 at Chi
cago on a ninth, inning single by
Don Johnson. Byerly was tabbed
with the defeat and old Paul Der
ringer, who went the route, gained
the victory, his 208th in the Na
tional league competition.
Reds Tnko Game
Outfielder Dain Clay gave the
Reds a 7 to j victory In the 11th
over the Pittsburgh Pirates be
fore 30,009 fans at Cincinnati,
largest of the opening day crowds.
He hit a single with the bases
loaded to breakup the game, after
giving Cincinnati a lead in the
fifth on a homer with three on
base.

"A Pleasure to Serve You"
Bond and Minnesota-Phone 88
By Leo IX Petersen.
(United l'rou BporU Editor)
New York, April. 18 U1 It was
great day for . the old-timers,
and it's too bad a couple of their
old cronies weren't around to see
them, perform.
The boys who.nave passed tnpir
peak and were tagged as ready for
baseball's grave gave a pretty
good, exhibition yesterday as the
1945 major league baseball season
opened. The accent wasn't on
youth it, was on age.
And the old-timers didn't disap
point. The late Kenesaw Moun
tain Landis, who ruled the game
for so many years as it's commis
sioner, and the late Franklin De
lano Roosevelt, who as president
was baseball's No. 1 champion,
would ha.ve.enJoyed.it, If they got
the returns in Valhalla, they must
have had quite a. chuckle.
Thqre. was 44-year-old; Hod Lis
cnbeo, discarded as a has-been
years ago, but brought back by
the Cincinnati Heds because of the
manpower shortage. All ho did
was hurl two scoreless innings
and 'receive credit for the. Ueds
7 to 6 11-inning victory over the
Pirates.
In Brooklyn What doesn't hap
pen there? Anyhow, a couplo of
40-year-olds took charge of that
ball game. The ancient arm of
Curt Davis still threw more stuff
than the Philadelphia. Phillies
could overcome, and Manager Leo
Durocher, who hasn't been active
for a couple of years, acted like a
school boy around second base.
Davis not only scattered eight hits
effectively, but got two hits, one
a home run with a man on base.
Durocher handled six chances in
the field flawlessly, batted in two
runs. Even Jimmy Foxx, of the
Phillies caught the idea. He beat
out an infield hit as a pinch hitter.
but he's only 37.
The 38-age group did all right,
too. Paul Derringer beat the world
champion Cardinals for. the Chi
cago Cubs; Joe Kuhel got four
hits and batted in five runs as
Washington beat Philadelphia
and although it was in a losing
cause Manager Joe Cronin played
lot of third base for the Boston
Red Sox as they dropped their
opener to the Yankees. He scooped
up a slow grounder and threw out
a- Yankee speed boy with the
grace of the days when he was a
$100,000 shortstop with Washington.
In the 36-age bracket wore Man
ager Mel Ott of. the New York
Giants and Tony Cuccinollo ol the
Chicago White'Sox. Ott, who sets
a new mark every time he goes to
Dat, led his tilants to an opening
day victory over the Braves, get?
ting two hits and setting a new
major league record by starting
his 20th consecutive season with
the same club.
Cuccinollo picked on one of the
younger players to do his stuff
and was that kid's face red? The
kid was Manager Lou Boudreau
of the Cleveland Indians. Bou
dreau fell victim to the ancient
hidden ball trick and Cuccinello
was the perpetrator.
hurled his team to an 8 to 2 vic
tory over the Phillies at Brook
lyn. Ho scattered eight hits ef
fectively and smashed a two-run
homer.
Tho Ginnts gave their ace pitch
er. Bill Voisollc, an easy victory
at- Boston, swamping the Braves
11 to 6 with a 15-hit attack, which

In the only scheduled game last
night, the San Francisco Seals
staggered through to an 11-9 win
over the Sacramento Solons. Lefty
O Doul s sluggers rolled up a 10
run lead in the first five innings,
but the Solons came to life in
the sixth and seventh with seven
runs and almost tied up the game
before Bob Barthelson came in
from the bull-pen to stop them.
Knowles Piercey received credit
for the win, although he was the
victim of the Sacramento upris
ing. The losers got 14 hits, thref
more than the Seals could obtain
off ii.'four Solpn chuckers. Joe
Fuernick and Bruce Ogrodowski
each pounded out three hits in
five trips to pace the San Fran

San Francisco, April 18 IIP)
Washington State's announce
ment that it will field a football
team next fall was regarded to
day as an indication that the Pa
cific coast conference may be, at
almost full strength for the 1945
Rose Bowl bid campaign.
The Cougars! return to the an
nual, autumnal follies, observers
predicted, will be the signal for
similar moves by Oregon, Oregon
State and Stanford, all of whom
wrapped their moleskins in moth
balls in. 1943 because of, an al
leged lack of manpower.
Two On Sidelines.
Only Idaho and Montana are
expected- to remain on the side
lines. California, Southern California,
Washington and the University of
California at Los Angeles have
maintained teams throughout the
war.
Graduate Manager Al Masters
of Stanford recently said there
was no reason to be optitnistic
over the Indians' revival of foot
ball, but the Palo Alto school un
doubtedly will follow WSC's lead
if the male enrollment increases.
Glenn (Pop) Warner, former
Stanford coach, told Masters that
he'd be glad to take on the job
again for the duration. Pop be
lieves Stanford even , now has
enough men to form a fair team.
The way St. Mary's carried on
under Jimmy Phelan with a stu
dent body of approximately 125
is a testimonial to the fact that it
can be done. In this connection, it
is reported the Gaels will again
have the services of Herman We
demeyer, their sensational Hawai
ian halfback in 1943.
Babe To Coach
Washington State has asked
Orin (Babe) Holllngbery to re
sume the head coaching post
which he held for 17 seasons.
With the European war certain
to be over by late summer, all
schools should have their man
power problems alleviated by dis
charged veterans. Many men who
otherwise would not have attend
ed college will have a chance at
higher education through G.I.
loans.
The situation will be thrashed
out at the conference meeting
in Spokane, June 11-12.
