Slugfest to Beat Red Sox
In Opening Day Contest
By Carl Lundquist
, . , Wl I'to Snurls VVrltiv)
New York, April 19 (U.P) It doesn't matter to the New
York Yankees whether they do it on the first or the last day
of the season they still come up with triumphs that are just
unbelievable. ,
. These working partners with destiny came up with one of
the most significant opening day triumphs in all the long
history of the game at Boston yesterday, when they smashed
rmgnuiy nuiii ufmiiu 10 ueuv
the Ked Sox, lb to 10 with
" nine runs in the eighth inning
and two more in the ninth.
In a game in which both
sides made it plain from the
start that they were out for
blood, the Yankees looked like a
hopeless, haggard, beaten outfit.
But the Red Sox, who were twice
crushed to earth by the Yankees
in the two final games that de
cided the 1949 pennant race, again
failed to reckon with their mirac
ulous reboundins; power.
14 Men at Bat
In that fateful eighth, 14 men
went to bat against a parade of
five pitchers. The Yankees col
lected eight hits, and added three
walks.
The incomparable Joe DiMag
gio led the way, hitting a triple,
double, and single. Yogi Berra
also collected three hits. Relief
pitcher Don Johnson was credited
with the victory.
There was dust-biting by the
pennant favorites in the National
league, too. Philadelphia trimmed
Brooklyn's Dodgers, drubbing
them 9 to 1 before 29,074 fans,
largest opening day crowd in the
Phillies' history. Robin Roberts
pitched seven-hit ball to score the
first victory of his career over
the Dodgers while Mike Goliat
paced the 16-hit attack with three
singles and a double. Eddie Wait
kus and Gran Hamner collected
three hits apiece. Don Newcombe,
Brooklyn's ace right hander was
batted out in the second inning.
The Phils piled up a 7 to 0 lead in
three innings, then coasted.
Braves Show Power
The Braves provided a switch at
New York. They displayed the
power instead of the Giants, get
ting 12 hits in an 11 to 4 triumph
that included homers by rookie
Sam Jethroe, Bob Elliott, and
Connie Ryan for the winners..
Warren Spahn, though touched
for eight hits including homers
byWhitye Lockman and Henry
Thohipson, breezed to an easy vic
tory. Andy Pafko hit two homers, the
second a three-run blast in the
ninth, to pace the Cubs In a 9 to 6
victory over the Reds at Cincin
nati. Preston Ward, the Cubs'
new first baseman, also hit a
homer as the Cubs collected 13
hits and finally beat Ken Raffen
berger, the left-hander who top
ped them six times last season.
The Tigers fought an uphill bat
tle then cashed in on a two base
error by Mickey Vernon to defeat
the Indians, 7 to 6, at Cleveland.
Art Houtteman, who pitched two
innings in relief was credited with
the victory which was achieved
when Dick Kryhoski singled, mov
ed to third on Vernon's error and
scored on a fly ball. Aaron Robin
son homered for Detroit while
Larry Doby and rookie Al Rosen
got homers for Cleveland as 65,
744 fans packed the Indians' lake
front stadium for the day's big
gest crowd.
Senators Win
The Senators scored another
opening day triumph for Presi
dent Truman, edging the Philadel
phia Athletics, 8 to 7 in a thriller.
The Nats pounded starter Carl
Scheib. who hart beaten them
seven straight times, collecting
nve runs In the first Inning be
fore he could retire a batter. Ray
Scarborough couldn't hold his
comfortable lead, however, and
the A's battled uphill and almost
overtook the Senators. Washing
ton scored what proved to be the
winning run In the seventh when
Eddie Robinson singled, moved up
n a neider s choice and scored on
Al Kozar's sinele.
Rookie Ken Woods sparked the
Browns with two timely doubles
to defeat the White Sox, 5 to 3 at
Chicaeo an Ned Gnrvpr srntterpd

runs. Cass Michaels hit a Chicago
homer.
At St. Louis, the first night

TWO SECTIONS
Sporf Parade
By Oscar Fraley
(Uniu-d Vram SnorU Writer)
Boston, April 19 iU'i An un
usually somber Ted Williams
preached pure, unadulterated
pessimism today.
"The pitching gets better and
better every day," wailed the
lanky Red Sox putfielder, "and
I'm not especially confident about
my hitting this year.
"Frankly, I don't expect to win
the batting championship. Look
at the odds! They're all against
me. Don't forget there are 15 or
20 other top hitters in this league.
I'm only one among a couple of
hundred. Right now, I'd settle for
the same record I had last year
and be glad of it, too."
Many Good Pitchers
Peeling off his street clothes in
the Boston clubhouse, the tanned,
trim-looking Williams bore, no
vocal resemblance to the same
stringy slugger who walloped 43
homers lasr year, drove in 159
runs and barely lost the batting
crown with a lofty percent
age. "Everywhere you look there are
great pitchers," Ted said, shaking
his head. "Guys like Bob Lemon,
Freddie Hutchinson, Joe Page,
Allie Reyno'ds, yps, even Bob Fel
ler. They say he's slipping but
he's still plenty tough for me.
"I have to laugh," he -added,
"when some people ask me wheth
er I'll ever hit .400 again. That's
so far out of reach that I never
think of it anymore. Maybe if
they didn't shift for me like they
do, I might have a better chance
for .400. But. as It is now, It's
impossible . . . for me anyway."

It was the eighth win in the
series for the United States, and
except for the 1947, 7 to 1 Ameri

1931.
Europe showed best In the lighter-
weights, but the American
team, composed of a selected
group from the western golden
gloves events, took five decisions
in the heavier classes to take the
team trophy.
Flyweight Penttl Hamalainen
of Finland downed Pat McCarthy,
Amarillo, Tex., and featherweight
Jacques Bataille of France easily
deeisioned Russel Jague, Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, for the only victo
ries for the Europeans.
Otherwise the gloves went to
the American battlers. Ned
Doughty, Kansas City, was the
only American to win in the light
er weights, outclassing Henning
Jensen of Denmark to take the
bantamweight title.
From the lightweights up, the
United States took all decisions.
James Burroughs, an army corp
oral, started the string with a
technical knockout over Mike Mc
Cullagh, Ireland, the European
captain, at 1:30 of the third round.
Then welterweight Dick Ander

Oakland Defeats
Beavers, Moves
Into 3rd Place
By lim Cooper
(UnitrJ. Prwut SliurU Writer)
San Francisco, April 19 mi
The Oakland Oaks vaulted Into
third place in the Pacific Coast
league race today on the heels of
Hollywood and San Diego, who
clung tenaciously to their one
two positions.
Earl Rapp poled two home runs
for the Oaks last night to pace a
5 to 3 win over Portland, lifting
Charley Dressen's gang clear out
of the second division.
In other games Sacramento de
feated San Francisco, 10 to 4;
Hollywood nosed out Seattle, 5 to
4, and San Diego nipped Los Ang
eles, 3 to 2.
Although Lyman Linde and re
liefer Cal Mclrvin gave up only
six hits to Oakland, three of them
were homers Rapp's pair and
one by Roy Zimmerman. Sheriff
Charley Gassaway was credited
with his third win of the season
against no defeats. .
Evans Effective
The neatest pitching perform
ance of the night was Bill Evans'
three-hitter for Sacramento. The
fact that San Francisco scored at
all was dire to Evans' wildness.
The right-hander, who came to
the solons from Memphis, walked
five batters and hit two.
However, he was supported by
bunched hitting, Al White lead
ing the Sacs with a double and
two singles in five trips,' the 10th
straight game in which he has
hit safely. The Seals committed
five errors afield.
Hollywood kept Its slim haut-
game league over San Diego,
thanks to a timely single by
Shortstop Buddy Hicks in the
eighth inning, which broke a tie
with surprisingly tough Seattle,
which is mired in the cellar.
Gordon Maltzberger . relieved
Art Sh a I lock in the sixth tinning
and gave up only one hit to gain
his first win of the year. Tony
York cracked a home run for the
losers, while Hollywood's Heib
Gorman got an inside-the park
homer which put Bill Ramsay out
of action for a few days. Ram
sey crashed into the wall trying
to snag uormon s blow. '
San Diego and Los Angeles had
the longest game 11 innings
and yet both starting pitchers
were the only ones to go the
route in the league. The Padres'
Al Olsen and the Angels' Heim
Besse each gave up only six hits,
but half of them were for extra
bases.
Al Smith broke up the game
with a bases-loaded single. Les
Layton homered, Clarence Mad
dern tripled and Elble Fletcher
got a pair of doubles for Los Ang
eles, while Orestes Minoso and
Harry Simpson tripled for the
Padres.
Bill Petersen
Loses to Toles
Portland, April 19 HB Heavy
weight Bill Petersen of Chicago
last night got a rude setback to
his hopes of winning back the
northwest heavyweight boxing
title from Joe Kahut as 195
pound Roscoe Toles of Detroit
won a unanimous, 10-round deci
sion from his 207-pound oppon
ent. Petersen vowed last month he
would fight In the northwest un
til he had regained his northwest
title from Kahut. Instead, he
lost last night's match and imme
