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.
