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

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

the game.

ft ALAN GOULD
ASSOCIATED PHESS SPORTS EDITOR
No one knows the uncertainty of
baseball or the fickleness of Its for
tunes better than the veteran Connie
Mack.
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.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.. April 13.
W) A business commute of Klamath
Indians last night voted to reject the
petition of sportsmen for fishing
rights In reservation streams. The
promise of the sportsmen to stock the
streams and pay a tax was vetoed as
a commercial venture.
Arthur M. Fish, assistant state
game supervisor, said that inasmuch
as the white men were not using the
waters, no more fish will be planted
on reservation territory.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 13.
(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.

Fred Lenhart, 179 pounds, Spokane,
won a six-round decision over George
Gllst rap. 172, St. Maries, Ida., here
last night. 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,

over Red Stanley. 156, Longvlew.
Nell Kllbane, 159 '4 pounds, Tacoma,
