Except at St. Louis, where the Na tlonal league champion Chicago Cubs were schedulpd to open up aftalnst the rouffh -riding Cardinals, the dawn of baseball's annual Inaugural day brought clear aklea and moderate temperatures. In St. Louis, regarded as one of the highly-Important focal points be cause It will produce a pitching duel between Lonle warn eke and the cele brated Dizzy Dean, the sky was over cast with possible showers predicted. It was partly cloudy In Cincinnati where the Pittsburgh Pirates were matched against the Cincinnati Reds. Warm In New York. Cloud -necked skies and a warm sun augjired for a capacity attend ance of 56.000 In New York at the Polo grounds where Bill Terry's Giants will tako off against Casey Stengel's bizarre Brooklyn Dodgers. With olont-Dodger Inter-borough game setting the pace, the eight open ing games promised to attract aggre gate attendance of between 100,000 and 300,000. This would not ap proach record figures but would be distinctly encouraging In view of the fact that the demands of the schedule made It necessary for both the world champion Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees to open away from their own spacious bailiwicks. The Tigers, led by dynamic trflekey Cochrane, wore making their 1030 debut at Cleveland with Stove O'NelU'fl Indians, regarded aa hot pennant con tenders this year, furnishing the op position. Here another spectacular mound duel was In prospect between Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe and Mel Harder. F. R. to Tom First One. President Roosevelt was to toss out the first ball In the national capital's opener between the New York Yan kees and Washington Senators. Many of the clubs will sport rook ies In their lineups, but the most highly publicized of the freshmen, Joe Dl Magglo of the Yankees, will view the Inauguration from the side lines. Dl Magglo still Is suffering from a burned foot. S A'V At ' ) SOFTBALL LEAGUE Y TRIMS AL IN GOLF DUEL OF El PORTLAND, April M.

Arabian nobleman, matched guile for guile and speed for speed with Pete Belcastro. pacific coast Junior heavy weight champion, and emerged With the first win orer the flashy Italian turned in here In many months. Mlhalakls took the first fall after Belcastro had started a series of son nenbergs. After absorbing three he Jumped over Belcastro's flying body, picked the champion up out of the corner, end entangled him hopelessly In hts dragon scissors. Pete came back fast In the next frame and In less than a minute had shoulder butted the Prince groggy, finishing with three rope swings and a back body drop which not only knocked the wind from the clever Arabian, but almost crushed bis chest. Anxious to end the match while he had an advantage, the Italian roared out of his corner at the bell and launched a man-killing drop kick which the apparently groggy Prince paried by going backwards with It. Under the Impression that Mlhaiakts was about finished Bel castro leaped to his feet and started another vicious drop kick only to have the Mohammedan drop under it with the speed of a cobra. The champion flew clear over Mlhalakls' head, and dropped with a sickening thud on his back. It was only rou tine when the Prince took the fall with hts camel lock. The match waa one of the classics In local ring history, with the men equally matched. At times their cat like efforts to apply a telling hold had the big crowd howling wildly, and the applause at the end was thunderous.

In the second round he again launched his tackling, driving Tsylor completely through the ropes four times and onto the floor outside the ring twice. Taylor gamely crawled back In both times, the last time falling to get Inside before the end of the 20 count. At the bell for the third round he attempted to get to the center of the ring and fell flat on his face, out cold from the ter rific battering. Frisble awarded the match to Savlch.

HERE'S a funny little item about sales-tax troubles 160 years ago in London. To protect the English weavers of linen and wool, cotton chintz was stiffly taxed, and the Lord Mayor was "shocked and grieved" to see three gentlewomen walking in St. James Park on Sunday dressed in chintz gowns. On Monday morning, the three ladies were haled into court but all promptly paid their fines . . . because chintz was so pretty and so cool ! It still is. Crisp little dot and flower chintz for warm weather frocks. Red-rambler-rose chintz for summer bedrooms. Chintz slip-covers for dining-room chairs. Chintz blinds when you take the winter draperies down. Right now is the time to do your chintz-choosing. Or gay cretonnes and bold blocked linens . . . clothes at special after-Easter savings . . . porch and lawn furni ture . . . garden tools . . . ALL the things you'll need and enjoy this summer.
