The Associated Press
The sparring over, the cham
pion New York Yankees and
Brooklyn Dodgers settled down to
the serious business of defending
their laurels as the 1956 major
league baseball season opened on
all fronts today.
Weather permitting, all 16
teams, including Baltimore and
Washington, which staged a sneak
preview yesterday in a tradition
al opener in the nation's capital,
were to see action. One game will
bo played at nieht. between the
Dodgers and Phillies in Philadel
phia.
The Orioles, who hadn't won an
opener since they re-entered the
American League in 1054, defeat
ed the Senators 7-6 in 11 innings.
Triandos the Hero
Rookie outfielder Carl Powis
drove in the winning run with a
sacrifice fly but the big Baltimore
hero was veteran catcher Gus
Triandos.
He singled in two runs in the
fifth inning, shot his team ahead
6-5 with a two-run homer in the
seventh, and added a double after
Powis had scored Dick Williams
with his game-winning fly.
Billy Loes, last of four Balti
more pitchers, was credited with
the victory. The d ef e a t was
charged to Camilo Pascual, who
relieved starter Bob Chakales in
the eighth. Hector Brown, Balti
more's starter, was routed by a
five-run Washington attack in
the fourth.

It happens every spring. Robin
Roberts will be making his eighth
consecutive appearance as the
Philadelphia Phillies' season-open
ing pitcher tonight against Brook

champions.
The 30-year-old right-hander,
who missed 20 victories last sea

his first full year in the majors
in 1949, has a 4-3 record for the
previous openers,

The Orioles meet the Boston

The Senators are guests of the

Ted SHU Something

complain that there's more "jack

times.
A rookie will admit to all and

Pitching Only
Thing Phillies
Can Boast Of
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., UU Ask
Manager Mayor Smith about his
Philadelphia Phillies and he starts
spouting about his pitching staff.
It's obvious he has little else to
gloat about. If it weren't for the
pitching, the team would be a can
didate for the cellar. Even with it
the Phils face a stern fight to re
tain their fifth-place rating of 1956.
The club's biggest need last win
ter was a shortstop and it still
is. It is almost certain now that
John Kennedy, who has done all
his professional playing with the
Kansas City Monarchs, will be
the first Negro member of the
Phillies. Although not yet on the
roster, Kennedy is a cinch to be
brought to Philadelphia and may
even open the season at shortstop.
The guess is that Kennedy, 26,
will not long be the No. 1 short
stop if at all. The bruss is skep
tical concerning his ability. He
is being brought up, however, be
cause his excellent work during
the spring training grind, when he
paced the entire club at bat with
,500 average up to last week.

er they're lefties or righties."
So instead of Kubek, who at this
early stage has been "awarded"
the rookie-of-the-year plaque, El
ston Howard drew the left field
assignment. 1
"After all," said Stengel, '"it'i
opening day and Howard has the ,
experience. Before the game's
over, you may' see Kubek as i
runner, a pinch hitter or even as
a left fielder. , ., i
Stadium Tough '
This doesn't mean I'm going -
to two-platoon Kubek and Howard,
either. We'll probably face a
righthander (Frank Sullivan) in
our next game in Boston and
Howard will be my left fielder
then, too." .
Not only has Kubck's batting
fallen off, but it could be that
Stengel is reluctant to send a neo
phyte flychaser (he's a shortstop
by trade who played just three
games in the outfield for Denver
last season) into the admittedly
tough stadium left field post.
1 don t expect this kid to hit
home runs," continued Stengel.
But I believe he will grow into
fine ball player. It won t . be
easy for him because being
rookie on this club means a lot
of pressure. I don't think it will
bother him, though." . . , ,
Wall Tricky
Outwardly, at least, Kubek was
unruffled. He was more eager to
talk about the trials and tribula
tions of playing left field than how
felt to be delegated to the
bench.
"That left field in the stadium
just as tricky as everyone told
me it would be," he said. "Joe
Collins told me the toughest part
of it would be trying to figure
out those carom shots off the
fence. It curves so that you never
know just how the 1 ball will
bounce. That's something I've got '
to ligure out wnen 1 get in there."
