BALL E Grand Opening Tuesday For Both Major Leagues Yanks Power Wanes Giants, Cubs Favored. By George Klrksey (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW TOUK, April 17. (UP) The office boy's old gag, "My grand mothers being burled today," le aa good en excuae aa any. So let'a go out to the old ball game. The major league pennant recee open Monday at Washington and Boston, and then the grand open ing takes place Tuesday with the reet of the clubs getting Into the list-game grind. A '76X100 pitcher will be uncovered In the Inaugural game at Washington, where Frank lin D. Roosevelt, who formerly star red at Ohoate and Harvard, tossed out the first ball for the Athletics. Senator! game. On the same day the Phillies and Bees will meet in a double-header, with morning and afternoon games to celebrate pat riots' day. On Tuesday more than 300,000 fans are expected to crowd Into even parka. The day's largeet crowd, posalbly (0,000, le expected to see the Yan kees-Senators game at Yankee stad ium. Ob the eve of the campaign, the (Slants and Indiana meet at the Polo Orounds today. With fav orable weather more than 80,000 persons win turn out to see can Hubbell, leading pitcher of the Na tional league, against Bob roller, baseball's neweat sensation from lewa. , Wonder Boy Attracts Heller, an 18-year old (arm boy ha caught the imagination of the baseball publlo as few players have slnoe Abner Doubleday started the game at Oooperstown, N. T., 98 years ago, Feller started pitching for Cleveland last mid-season, but his remarkable apeed and pitching ability already have won htm a salary of 110,000. In five exhibitions SO .000 fana have paid to see him pitch. He looks like the greatest "find" In baseball annals. Aa the teams near the opening barrier, the world champion Now York Yankees and St. Louis Card inals are betting favorites. The Yanks are even money to repeat and the Cardinal are 8-8 to detftrone the ("Hants. Five Teams In Rare In the National league five teams eeem to have a chance New York, St, Louis, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. In the American league the Yenks main opposition Is likely to come from Detroit, Washington and Cleveland. Those who play hunches already have deserted the Yanks. Red Ruf fing, who led the Ysnks, pitcher last year with 30 vlctorlea, Is a holdout and says that unless he gets 118,000 he'll stay out of base ball. Jos Dl Magglo, ths team's spark-plug last year, Is recovering from an operr."-n for the removal of his tonsils and adenoids. He'll be out two weeks or more. Oehrlg Ailing Lou Oehrlg, the team's power house, haa a mysterloua aliment In his left hand. He hasn't played In two days and his long string of 1806 conr-mtlve games Is In danger. The Cardinals are danger ,u but decidedly a gamble. The solid teams seems to be the Olants. They have Improved more than expected and have a team built for the National league. They have great pitching and a tight defense, and they won't beat the mnelves. The Chlcngo Cubs, counting heav ily on Rip Collins to supply ths needed extra base power, seem gear ed to give the Olants the toughest battle. Cincinnati has blossomed Into r contender, and Pittsburgh, carrying power plus, Is a threat. Late shifts In players have sent outfielder Jack Rotlirock from Cin cinnati to the Athletics; Indelder John Kroner from the Red Sox to Cleveland and first baseman Earl Browne from Pittsburgh to the Phtlllea In a trade for pitcher Joe Bowman. E With Its opening prsotlce game only two dsye distant, Medford's Southern Oregon League ball team will go through a strenuous workout this morning at the high school field at 10 o'clock. Word received by Austin Frailer, Medford Athletic association seoretsry, from Mike Balkovlrk yesterday was to the effect that the newly appoint ed manager and coac-i of the baee. ball school would probably not amv here until later this week. The tele gram stated that he had been water bound out of Salem for the past font days, and that It would be Impossible for him to arrive In time for the practice today. Until Baikovlck, aaststsnt football coach at Willamette university, ar rives, ths team will be handled by of ficials of ths Medford Athletic asso ciation, sponsors of the lesgue team and ths summer baseball school. Medford's first gsme will be played Tuesday afternoon at 8:30 against the strong 30th Infantry team from the Presidio In Ssn Francisco. Th( battle will be ataeed: at the count;, fairgrounds, and will be free to tht public.
