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.

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.

thg fortnight is the inexplicable
quick-collapse of defending
champion Seattle. 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.

Gardnar Mulloy
Tennis Winner
Miami Beach, Fla. (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.
Folks have been getting set
to count out the Miami court
veteran for some time, and he
was dropped from No. 4 rating
nationally to No. 8 this year
But Malloy silenced critics with
a straight-set, 6-4, 8-6, 9-17 vic
tory Sunday over Philadelphia s
Vic Sclxas, the nation's No. 1
ranked player, in the finals of
the Good Neighbor tournament.
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. Industries facing corrosion
problems are using Monel fas
tenings such as nails, with annul
ar grooves to give the holding
power of screws, and standard
nuts, bolts and screws.

Matthews'
Ring Rival
Shows Class
Portland (U.J) Ring fans
who watched heavies Harry
"Kid" Matthews and Charley
Eagle in their final workouts
here Saturday said crown-conscious
Matthews was going to
have his hands full when he
meets Eagle in a 10-rounder in
the Pacific International pavil
ion Monday night.
Reports were full of praise for
Eagle's adroit footwork and
overall class.
Matthews, who will be mak
ing his first start since Decem
ber, held his workouts to a mini
mum. He was under orders from
Boss Jack Hurley to go easy.
Hurley said his charge is just
right for weight now and too
much exertion might leave him
under par.
A crowd of more than 5,000
and a gate of some $15,000 was
expected.
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.
With playmakers Ken Mos
dell, John McCormick and Billy
Reay all idle, the Canadiens
have dropped three straight
starts to the Red Wings, the lat
est a 3 to 0 drubbing Sunday
night.
"You can't beat a team like
Detroit with only one regular
center in the lineup," Irvin la
mented after the most recent
setback.
Much Laughter
The Detroit dressing room was
filled with laughter as the Na
tional Hockey league champions
sensed their second Stanley cup
in inree years, flayers mobbed
youthful Terry Sawchuk, the
sophomore netminder who has
posted three shutouts in seven
playoff games all won by the
Red Wings.
Gordon Howe, the leading
goal-getter during the regular
NHL season, also grabbed his
usual share of praises. He poked
home two of Detroit's goals his
first scores of the playoffs.
lhe Red Wings were expected
to be back at full strength for
the fourth game of the best-of-seven
series at Detroit Tuesday
nignt.
