WITH HIE RUNS Yankees' Star Garners Pair of Circuit Clouts and Single to Contribute Five Runs Against Athletics Ilv IIKI1IIKRT W. HAHKKK. (Associated Press Sports Wrltor) For these many years Babe Ruth baa been doing the unexpected, clouting home runa or striking out In his own Inimitable fashion, but never before has he oo completely dominated the major leaguce' "open ing day" ceremonies. There waa excellent pitching by Ed Brandt of the Boston Braves. Sam. Jones of the Chicago White Box and Flint Rhem of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals as the National and American leagues open ed the drive that leads to the 1039 pennants yesterday; there was a rousing nlnth-lnnlng rally by the re-bullt Cincinnati Reds and a strik ing demonstration of batting power by the long-suffering Phillies; but over and above all the feaU was the Babe's apectacular seasonal debut at Philadelphia. lube Drives In Five. The king-pin of the New York Yankees' devastating attack clouted two home runs and a single against big George Earnshaw and Jimmy De8hong of the Philadelphia Ath letics and thus contributed five runa to the common cause. A shivering crowd of 18.000 saw little to cheer about aa the Yankees, with praise-worthy economy, made 12 hlU good for as many runs and beat the A's, 13-0. Ruth, who never before had hit two runs In an opening day game, needed some assistance and got It from Sammy Byrd and Lou deling Among them this trio collected nine hits and accounted for 11 runs. Byrd matched Ruth's feat with two homers and a single; Gehrig, co-champion with Ruth of last year'e home-run hitters, drove one ball out of the park and kicked In with a triple and single as well, Sox Trounce Hrnwns. The only other American league game the weather man permitted, saw the Chicago White Sox pin a 9-9 beating on the St, Louis Browns. Sam Jones held the Browns to eight hits and won without trouble In back of a 13-hlt assault by the Sox. Carey Selph, rookie thtrd-eacker. drove In three runa with three doubles. Over In the National league the champion Cardinals turned In an easy victory. Their two chief rivals, the New York Giants and Chicago Cubs were beaten. Flint Rhem, who pitched the Car dinals to victory In the pennant winning years of 1936-28-30-31, held the Pittsburg Plratos to seven hits and won, 10-3. The Cardinals man handled Lary French for 10 hits and eight runa In alx Innings with Sparky Adams and Ray Blades get ting three hits apiece, nlants How to Phils, The Giant fell victim to the ef fective pitching of "Fidgety Phil" Collins and a terrific hitting drive by the Phillies. Burt Shotton'a men pounded BUI Walker out of the box with none out In the second Inning and plied up a total of 17 hits for the game. The Cuba led Cincinnati, 4-1. going Into the last half of the ninth, but Charley Root weakened and filled the bases with none out. Ouy Bush came In to atop the at tack, but Red Lucas, a pinch bats man, doubled to drive In two runs and Douthlt later aingled to score two more and win the duel, S-4. Brooklyn's revamped ball olub looked good afield, but the Dodgers' hitters folded up against the air tight pitching of Id Brandt and the Boston Braves won, a-S. Bad westher conditions cut down the aggregate attendance for six games, to about 117,000.

Connie can recall the dark days when the sports writers said the Ath letlcs never would get anywhere until he quit the management of the club. Tbroe straight pennants are behind him, the prospect of a fourth In suc cession Just ahead, but Mack retains quite vividly the recollection of "breaks" that' cost his team the chance to win the 1031 world's series and thereby shatter the major league precedent. He told the Rotary olub of St. Petersburg about it. He revealed how the Athlete la beat Paul Derrin ger, the young Cardinal pitching star, fey waiting out the curve ball he start ed off with so successfully and then walloping his fast one. He described how Waite Hoyt, In the fifth game, accidentally put a curve ball In the groove which Pep per Martin hit Into the stands, after the Instructions were for Hoyt to pitch only high fast ones to the young outfielder. One tiling Drfent "We were never more confident than before the seventh and last game," said Mack. "The Athletics had won the sixth game easily, as you know, and with Earnshaw In the box we had every reason to feel optimistic. But we were beaten In the very first Inning. High, the first batter, who nearly always hlta hard to right or short Into left, raised a short fly netween Williams and Simmons. I had previously motioned to Al to move In, but he refused to budge, due perhaps to his uncertainly about me visibility and his confidence in his ability to come In better than he could go back. The result waa that he missed by a few feet a ball he would otherwise have caught easily. Then Watklns, the second batter, hit another short Hy over toward the third bane line. Williams went after It and i looked like an easv catch. Suddenly he stopped In his tracks as someone from the Cardinal bench- yelled 'Simmons.' The ball fell safe. "Let me explain hen that If the situation had been reversed and the Cardinals were In the field, our boys would have yelled the same thing from our bench. "But that put two men on and, as you know, the Cardinals scored two rune, one on a ball that got away from Cochrane and the other on a poor throw back to the plate by Poxx after Cochrane had dropped the third strike on Orsattl. You see, we miss ed four chances to stop any scoring In that Inning. "Those two runs gave Grimes the confidence he needed to pitch great ball and also inspired the Cardinals. I will say my olub was game, rlgnt down to the last Inning, when we were beaten by a great ball club." Connie HAtlsfled "My boys," as Connie calls them, have done pretty well, however, for three years. , Mack gets his greatest satisfaction out of the development of players like Simmons, Qrove, Cochrane, Earn shaw and Poxx. They are the dia monds In the crown of his retiring years. But the "tall tutor" has no thought of when he may quit baseball. He can' think of little else when spring cornea around. "Why, I can not even take any real Interest In my golf now," he admits. The sincerity of this la clear when it Is considered that Mack plays well down in the 80 s on the links. His last round was 42-42 84. FAVORED IN BETS NEW YORK, April 13. (P) Odds on the two baseball races, by Wall street betting commissioners, quoted the Olants as 8-5' favorites to win the National league pennant, with the champion St. Louis Cardinals as second choice at 5 to 3. The Philadelphia Athletics continue the choice In the American league at even money, with 5 to 2 offered against the chances of the New York Yanks to break the A's string of thiee straight.

(AP) If there had been any doubt as to whether or not Young Corbett, Fresno Italian, waa still a contender for the welterweight title, it waa dispelled today. Returning to the ring last night, after an absence of more than & year, Corbett soundly whipped Cefe rlno Garcia, welter champion of the Orient, and served notice that he Is still very much In the running for the crown worn by Jackie Fields. CHICAGO. (AP) The athletic hot houses of the midwest have nur tured a new crop of undergraduate runners and jumpers for prospective harvest as Olympians. A few months ago a pre-Olymplc Inventory In the Big Ten indicated that any showing by conference men In the big international doings this summer would have to be ac complished by alumni. But with the climax of the Indoor season In a Jumble of fractured rec ords, a half dozen undergraduates have crowded to the 'inside track" In the early summary of hopes. Heading the new list Is Henry Brocksmlth, sensational Indiana uni versity distance man who left a wake of exhausted mllers and two-mllers as he won both those events with times In the Big Ten title meet. His 4:12.5 mile, fastest ever run In the midwest, and his 9:18.4 two mile, eight seconds faster than the former conference standard, were clicked off the same evening. Three other nameB flashed to prominence In the same meet. Bryce Beecher, comparatively unknown Hoo sler, vaulted 13 feet 8 inches to help his team to victory over Michigan. Don Renwlck, Michigan sopho more, who as a freshman often trimmed Eddie Tolan In practice, bowed his way Into big time com petition with a world's record-tying 6.2 seconds for the 60-yard daah. Ed Russell, who has run many good quartermlles for Michigan, set a new conference mark of 50 sec onds flat, indicating he is ready for bigger and better efforts at Olympic consideration. Jack Keller, Ohio States brilliant hurdler, found the double duties of hurdling and sprinting too onerous in the title meet and failed to score, but he nevertheless will be the area's foremost hope for represnta tion in the Olympic tlck-skipplng finals.

The Idaho miner, who recently won a decision over Young Flrpo, started strong and had a de cided advantage at the end of the fourth round, but faded completely in the last two rounds and Lenhart won easily. A wicked left hook Lenhart landed In Gllstrap's mid-section In the fifth probably had much to do with the latter'a let down. Turkey Red Yarnell, 1S834 pounds, Eugene, took a four-round decision over Red Stanley. 156, Longvlew. Nell Kllbane, 159 '4 pounds, Tacoma, and Red Barber, 160, Seattle, went six rounds to a draw.
