TOUR MEDrORD (OBEGOW) WAIL TBILPNE Parade of Hurling When Major Loops Br CARL LINDQUIST New York U.R Unless the hitters do some unexpected fence rattling Tuesday, opening day in the major leagues should be a parade of pitching duels. On almost every front, the managers nominated their ace hurlers to go out in quest of a winning start, and, since the pitchers have been ahead of the hitters all spring, the outlook is for a succession of low scoring fames. There were eight 20-game winners from 1951 nominated to pitch the openers along with a 19-game winner and two who chalked up 18 wins apiece. Chilly Weather 8en However, in most places the weather wasn't expected to be of much help to the hurlers. Although the outlook was gen erally 'for fair skies, it was ex pected to be chilly and perhaps windy In a number of places and there was a chance for showers in Detroit and Boston. Barring rain or particularly cold weather, which would cut down on advance estimates, up- . wards of 237,000 Jans are ex pected for the first day program which would represent a big in crease from 19S1 when 171,678 turned out for the first full pro gram. The dav's biggest crowd was expected in. Detroit to see the Tigers play the Browns of all people. The 58,000 seat capac ity Brlggs stadium has been sold out for some time. Last Appearance " At Washington, President Tru man will make his final appear ance as the "official" starter by throwing out the first ball for the game between the Senators and Red Sox. A sellout crowd of 30,000 was assured there, the same number which was esti mated for the White Sox and the Indians. The world champion Yankees begin shooting for their fourth straight Hag at Philadelphia against the Athletics before 22, 600. In the National league, Cin cinnati, which traditionally sells out on opening day and then has to scrounge for customers the rest of the season, had 34,000 fans ready to welcome the Reds against the Cubs. The pennant defending Giants expected 32, BOO for their opening against the Phillies In New York.

HUBBARD -WRAY V-N5Mi3H RIVERSIDE Fred Saigh loses no time turn ing night into day, the Cardi nals estimated they would at tract 20,000 hardy souls to their opener under the lights against the Pirates. And a turnout of 10,000 was predicted in Boston where the Braves play the Dodgers. Two managers, Red Rolfe of Detroit and Luke Sewell of Cin cinnati, made late changes in pitching assignments after their Sunday exhibition game whs rained out. The veteran Dizzy Trout, who won only nine games last season, was named tor ine Tigers in place of Art Houtte- man, a 19-game winner in m. before he left to spend a year in the army. Sewell went for Merman Wehmeier as his starter in place of his act, Ewell Backwell. Weh meier, who has been very ef fective this spring, won only seven games in 1951 as against 6 for Backwell. Dickson Named Pittsburgh's remarkable Mur- ry Dickson, 20-18 with a sveenth place club, will oppose Cardinal top man, Gerry Staley, 1913, at St. Lcuis, while fast ball expert Bob Rush of the Cubs al will be Wehmeier's opponent. Early Wynn, 20-13, one of Cleveland's three 20-game win ners, will take on Lefty Bill Pierce of the White Sox, who at 15-14 was their big winner. Trout's opponent at Detroit will be Ned Garver of the Browns, who accomplished a miracle by carving a 20-12 mark with those sad sacks last year.

The Suds, who just lost a 6-1 series to San Diego, are flat on their sacroili acs, 6Vi games away from first place. Stattle Bows Head Seattle bowed its head In shame Sunday, leaving San Di ego after a split with the Pads. Seattle nabbed the opener, 9-3, for its only win of the series, and then dropped the nightcap, 7-3. Obviously Los Angeles could not keep winning. But it took 18 innings for the Angels to lose. Carlos Bernier's home run in that frame got Hollywood a 6-5 decision over Los Angeles in a first game in which nine pitchers unlimbered their salary wings. Then the Stars again crowned the Angels in the un-der-lights second affair, 4-1.- Games Rained Out Two other twin bills, those engaging San Francisco at Oak land and Portland at Sacra mento, were washed out by rain. The Sacs took their series, 4-1, and the Oaks theirs, 3-2. Los Angeles' Ed Chandler, who had three victories this season, was tabbed with the An gels' first defeat. The Stars had gone tallyless for 15 frames be fore Bernler pickled Chandlers pitch for the game-winning homer. The contest lasted for 4 hours and 28 minutes and in cluded homers by Bernier, Dick Wilson, Grant Dunlap and Max West.

(U.R) Gardnar Mulloy served notice Monday that, at 38 years of age, he's still a power to be reckoned with in American tennis.

On the way to the crown, Mul loy had whipped the nation's No. 2 player, Dick Savitt of Or ange, N. J., in Saturday's semi finals.

Red Wings Grab Third Straight In Rink Series Detroit (U.R) Montreal Coach Dick Irvin pointed to three regular centers sidelined with injuries and said "that's why we're losing the Stanley cup to Detroit" as his Canadiens tottered a single game from elimination by the Red Wings.
