TEND TO BUSINESS AND LEADLEAGUE Stengel's Crew Trounce Phillies, 12-5, in Great Home Opening Perform ance Cards, Giants Win By HERBERT W. BARKER Associated Press Sports Writer The Brooklyn Dodgers, erstwhile dullness boys of the National league, bave put away such childish things M stealing already occupied bases and cutting legitimate home runs to Ingles by falling to touch a base or two or passing another gunner on the base paths. They're tending strictly to their baseball knitting, winning games by bard, timely slugging, especially by Danny Taylor, Linus Frey, Sam Les lie and Joe Strlpp, and sharp, clean fielding marked by 13 double plays In "seven games. Five of these they bave won. Dodgers Trim Phils A crowd of 30,000 welcomed Casey Stengel's men to their home park yesterday and howled In glee as the Dodgers assailed four pitchers for 13 hits, trounced the Phillies 12-5, and took undisputed possession of first Plaoe. The world champion St. Louis Car dinal and the New York Giants, meanwhile, moved up to take second and third places. The Cardinals wal loped the Chicago Cubs 9-5, behind Paul Dean's seven-hit pitching while the Giants ruined Babe -Ruth's home coming by beating the Boston Braves 6-5, In the eleventh on Mel Ott's tingle. Ruth, making his first New York appearance In his Braves uni form, attracted 50,000 to the Polo grounds but failed to get a hit. Pittsburgh drove Tony Freltas out of : the box 1 nthe sixth with a four run assault to beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-8. Red Sox Still Going Developments In the American league were marked by the Boston Jted Sox's sixth victory In seven tarts. A 7-4 conquest of the New York Yankees. Red Ruffing allowed only one hit in the first 3 1-3 innings but had to retire because of a Jame back. Johnny Murphy came In and was slugged for eight hlta and all Boston's runs In the next three frames. A crowd of 30,500 saw the Red Sox home opener. Joe Vosmlk's triple was the big blow In the ninth Inning rally that gave the Cleveland Indians two runs and t 7-6 victory over the St. Louis Browns that left the Indians in sec end place with four triumphs against one defeat. Chester Morgan, rookie BABE PROVES "BUST" IN! GALA HOME OPENING TILT Br EDWARD i. VEIL AnaoclatM Prea Sports Writer. NEW YORK. April 24. (AP) The ancient Babe Ruth rode the bases In the Polo Grounds again, with 50,- 000 cheering his return to the once green pastures of the Polo Orounds but somebody else was hitting the home runs. The return of Ruth aa a member of the Boston Braves, planned as one of the baseball dramas of the day, was pretty much of an artistic bust, to put It baldly Mayor Florello La Guard! a was there. Governor Hoffman of New Jersey, the Babe's old boss, and Jack Ruppert were there too. Everyone was cheering for him, hoping for him. But the unsolvable Bambino fooled everybody. He swung four times against the curves of fst Fred Fltz simrr.ona and Al Stout, and he never once got the ball out of the Infield. He trotted around the bases again, as be did so many times In the past, but he rode around ahead of Plnkey Whitney In the sixth, when the Braves' third baseman hit a home run Into the stands after the Babe had walked, only time be got on base. "I waa sick." growled the Babe, sicker still at heart. "I hid a lousy cold and my 'e hurt. I'll get many a belt here before I'm through." For the first time in his 30 years of major lengue ball, It actually seemed as though the tenseness of the occasion got the big fellow. He was nervous aa the crowd, one ol the greatest of the season, gave him one personal tribute after another, cheered every move he made on the practice field. He wouldn't sign score cards. He pleaded with the camera men: "Give me a break." G. Bud Conlln. manager of the Jack sonville Gil more Lions baseball team, announced today that for some un known reason the Grants Pass Mer chant have cancelled their sched uled game with the Liona. to have been played Sunday. "They were all for playing us before we trimmed Ashland." Conlln said, "and now they don't want to play." The cancellation cam at such a late date that the Lions almost de spair of getting another game for Sunday, but a telegram waa sent to Ewauna Box company today to see If that aggregation has an open date. Offers for games have also been for warded by the Lions to the House of David, and the Chicago Colored Giants, and Conlln states that pros pects ere bright for having either one or both of these colorful teams here this year.
