SEASON OPENERS AT PETER'S TITLE
By Andy Clarke
Associated Preus Sports Writer.
The long trek down summer's baae
ball lane was under way today with
the batsmen marching triumphantly
t the head of the procession.
The aun came down like a bene
diction yesterday after rainy April
weather that had disrupted spring
training schedules and the baseball
faithful thronged eight major league
bnl) parks to see America's national
pastime ushered In with fanfare and
the crash of numerous basehlts.

With President Roosevelt throwing
out the first ball at Washington and
Babe Ruth, the retired sultan of
swat, alttlng on the sidelines for the
first time In many a year, some 203,
000 fans, the largest aggregate crowd
in five years. Jammed into parks In
the two major circuits.
The largest gathering was at the
Polo grounds in New York" where
66.500 saw the Giants come from be

supposed to have the Indian sign on
the Dodgers, retired to the showers
before his mates, riding on homers
by Ml Ott and Dlok Bartell. over
came the effort of George Earns haw,
veteran Dodger hurler and went on
to win in the late lnntntzs.
Cnpltnl Game flnne
The clwet. game of the day was
played in Washington where the
Senators nosed out the New York
Yankees, 1-0. Buck Newsom of the
Senators and Lefty Gomes of the
Yanks put on a scoreless pitching
duel until the ninth inning when
Cecil Travis singled and Carl Reyn
olds slapped out a two-bagger that
decided the Issue.
In Cleveland, Lynwood Rowe start
ed the champion Detroit Tigers off
on the right foot when he shut out
the Cleveland Indiana 8-0 before
18.200.
Even Dizzy Dean had little to crow
about. His fancy offerings were plas
tered for 14 hita In six Innings as
the Cubs defeated the Cards 12-7.
The hurling Chicago ace, Lon War
neke, also had to duck as 13 hits
rang off rival bats during hla aeven
Innings of service. Billy Horman,
Cubs second baseman who led the
league with 67 doubles Inst year,
banged out three to signal Ire this

Is hard baseball on tht way out?
Reports come In from all over the
country that hard ball leagues are
faltering ' d beginning to melt under
the hot sun of competition from soft
ball, klttenball, katball, cat ball, or
whatever you want to call It. The
old-timers and those who are now
playing hardball will hotly protest
such a conclusion, and It Is true that ,
hardball will probably remain In the
big cities as the piece de resistance
on Sunday afternoons and during the
summer.
But whether they believe It or
not, softball Is stealing the lime
light. For one thing, baseball In
Its general meaning, la no longer
a game. It Is a profession, and
while It still remains a aport. It
ceased being a game a long time
ago In any center where. It Is
played extensively. Big money
controls a large part of it, and
the center of Interest Is no longer
the sportsmanship of the thing,
but the amount of money that
can be raked In over the turn
it lies.
Klttenball suffers under no such
Indictment. It Is all game, the play
ers play for the fun there Is In It
and not the money. Most of the
games are free, and In a town jlke
Medford a spectator will go and see
about half the players as friends, not
as public spectacles. It costs next to
nothing to start a kitten ball game:
there is not expensive outlay for
mitts. The game can be played In
any size field, and best of all. It can
be played after supper In the evening
when the players can get their day's
exercise.
In big cities as well as small, twl
light leagues are springing up, and
thousands of men will be out play
ing Instead of watching some profes
sional doing It for him. You've heard
thousands of people say they like to
play baseball but don't give a rap
about watching someone else play It.
If you've been around Medford long.
The smarter of the hardball play-
era are awlnglng with the current and
playing softball as long as the season
lasts. There are
Now, with Crater lake only two
hours away, the little woman
stomps her foot and refuses to
any longer sit In a splintery
grandstand, under a blistering
sun, and watch a baseball game.
She'd rather be out along some
stream where the kids can wade
and she can relax. And gradually
the old man Is beginning to see
eye to eye with her on that. Base
hall can't be killed that, easily,
and that's where softball comes
In. Sort of eating cake and
keeping It, too.

With the winter Olympics now
completed at Qarmlsch-Psrtenklrch-en
and the regular events due to ;et
under way soon, the drive for runds
to send the American representatives
to Berlin hss started. Lawrence
Bragg, orchardlst, writer and sports.
msn, haa been selected as the repre
sentative or tne American Olympic
committee In thia district, and has
started hla drive for taking subscrip
tions ior tne aiiair.
Said Mr. Bragg today: "Ths Am
erican Olymplo representatlvea are
not subsidized In any way, but ar.
sent to the gamea solely by popular
suDscnption. Many countrlea draft
funds from various departments to
rinance the Olympic contestants but
In the past the subscription method
hss proved satisfactory in this country."
A atrong representation from the
western United States will be on the
American Olympic team, Mr. Bragg
stated, and urged that contributions
be made by those Interested In send
ing a strong delegation, amply fi
nanced.
All of the funds raised by the sub
scription drive will be forwarded loo
per cent to the committee In charge,
witn no part aubatracted for promo
tion purposes. Contributions as
small aa SO cents will be welcomed.
Mr. Bragg said, adding that a $5 sub
scrlptlon Willi be a big boost. "Five
dollars rrom esch or 100 sportsmen
will get one athlete to the Olympic
games and back well equipped,
transported, housed, fed and coached
to do hla best to carry the Stars and
stripes to victory," he said.
"Our athletes, with ability to win
Olympic laurels, with all the tech
nical skill, physical prowness, com
petitive strategy and courage and de
termination, lack something we can
give them," Mr. Bragg pointed out
"Youngsters less thsn 20 yeara of
age. they have not yet begun to earn
their way In the world. They cannot
pay their own Olympic expenses. Our
opportunity la to help them catch
this tide of youthful adventure at Its
Olympic flood. We csn give them a
hand and share In their adventure."

"Did your fruit color up under
such a heavy coating of spray?"
"Certainly it did. Vou see we had a uniform coating all orer the
fruit rather than in blotches which permitted normal coloring.
Official investigators have shown that a heavy coating of Lead
Arsenate does not interfere with normal coloring of fruit
provided it is uniformly distributed.
"Well, do you think that a heavy
coating like that will clog the
breathing pores of the foliage?"
"At near as I can find out no one has been able to estsbliih any
Interference with plant functioning as a result of heavy coatings

can to remain on the fruit and foliage. Heavy deposits of Lesd
Arsenste esrly in the sesson will result in better first brood
control and fewer applications for the second brood. There
is no law against using less thsn the usual dosage of Lead
Arsenste provided it builds up a coating sufficiently heavy to

No Ladies will be
Arrested
for buying Chintz!
HERE'S a funny little item about salea-tax troubles 1 60
yeara 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.
Study the advertisements to see who's selling them
and what the price tags are. Pre-shopping in the pages
of this paper will save you hours of aimless wandering
and indecision will make every dollar do extra duty.
In April, and all year round, read the advertisements
FIRST.
