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.
If a game can be arranged at so
late a dat. the Lions will play at
Jacksonville Sunday. Announcement
will be made later.

of clean, smooth mat work, and the
other a session of more gory, If not
faster, grappling.

received last week when he tumbled

give the big San Franciscan a thor
ough lacing. Healy, however, who
has been beaten by the "Iron Man
before, thinks he has the Nebraskan'a
number this time and Is confident
that he can outlast him If not pin
him.
