Emphasis on Pitching as CV2aor League Pennant Chases Start
Sammy Snead
Loses Title
Via Rules '
Greensboro, N. C. (U.R)
Dave Douglas of Newark, Del.,
won his first golf tournament in
two years because Sam Snead
ran afoul of the PGA rule book
for the second time in three
weeks.
Douglas won the $10,000
Greensboro Open Monday with
a last-round 69 and a 72-hole
total of 277. But Snead, the hot
test player on the pro circuit
right now .also would have fin
ished with a 277 except for a
two-stroke penalty on the 17th
hole and would have been fav
ored to win a playoff Tuesday.
Creek Provei Downfall
A small creek, what the ruled
book describes as a "lateral haz
ard," proved Snead's downfall
as Bobby Locke of South Africa
slipped into second place with
a 278.
Snead, Jim Ferrier of San
Francisco and Ed Oliver of Le
mont, 111., wound up in a third
place tie with 279's.
Snead, who forfeited a first
place tie with Doug Ford in the
Jacksonville Open on March 24
because of an out-of-bound tech
nicality, was closing in on his
fifth Greensboro title and his
fourth 1952 triumph when he
stepped up to the 17th tee with
a two-stroke lead.
Crowd Groam
The crowd groaned as his
drive plopped into a small creek
on the short 17lh.
A few minutes later, Snead
added a very personal groan as
he lost more than $1,000 to the
rule book. The officials, headed
by PGA Tournament Supervis
or Frank Caywood, ruled that he
dropped his ball nearer the
green when he picked it out of
the water and levied a two
stroke penalty.
In 1895, Prof. Wilhelm Kon
rad Roentgen discovered rays
which "emanate from the bom
bardment of a metallic plate by
electrons in an evacuated tube."
It was not understood what the
rays were, so they were callcy
X rays.

San Francisco (U.R) The Pa
cific Northwest, one of the na
tion's fastest-growing territories,
kicks off its 1952 Pacific Coast
league season today with near
record crowds expected for the
battles.
The defending champion Seat
tle Rainiers, off to a bad start
this year and currently in the
basement,- entertain the loop
leading Los Angeles Angels. A
crowd of 14,000 fans is expected
for the opening-night festivities.
Sweeney Names Schani
Manager Bill Sweeney has
named veteran Charley Schanz
(2-1) for Rainier mound duties,
while manager Stan Hack of the
Angels is undecided.
At Portland, there will be two
games an afternoon tilt and an
other at night to take care of the
fans who couldn't all be Jammed
into the Bevo field for one tilt.
The two games are expected to
attract more than 15,000. The
Red Wings
Near Title
Detroit U.R) Goalie Terry
Sawchuck and his Detroit Red
Wings teammates go after two
records and the Stanley Cup
Tuesday night against a stagger
ing Montreal sqund.

Canadiens, the Red Wings were
favored to make It a clean sweep
over Montreal and become the
first team In playoffs to win the
cup with eight straight victories.
Detroit stopped Toronto four in
a row in the semi-finals.
Sawchuk, with three shutouts
to his credit, was out to equal the
playoff shutout mark of four
hclcj.jolntly by New York's Dave
Keer and Toronto's Frank Mc
Cool. However, Kerr needed nine
games in the 1937 playoffs and
McCool needed 13 games in 1945.

O'Doul Returns to SF
The noisiest and maybe
biggest crowd of the night, how
ever, may be in Seals stadium,
San Francisco. Lefty O'Doul, a
long-time local hero, comes back
to his home town for the first
time as manager of an enemy
club. He'll bring the high-riding
San Diego Padres, only a half
game behind the loop-leading
Angels, into town to battle the
Seals.
The Padres will send Guy
Fletcher (3-0), who couldn't-win
for O'Doul when he managed
San Francisco last year, to the
hill, while manager Tommy
Heath will start Elmer Singleton
(1-0) for the surprisingly strong
Seals.
The other game tonight pits
the Sacramento Solons against
the Hollywood Stars in cinema
lnnd. The Sacs will hurl young
Bob Boyd while the Stars will
send Pinky Woods (0-1) to the
hill.
Indians, Brooks
Title Favorites
As Season Opens
New York (U.R) The Cleve
land Indians were picked up to
win the American League pen
nant and the Brooklyn Dodgers
were tabbed to win the National
League pennant in the annual
United Press pre-season poll of
167 baseball writers.
The' Indians edged out the
New York Yankees by amassing
1,240 points, compared to 1,225
points for the defending champ-
ions. The Indians drew 86 first
place votes while the Yankees
attracted 72.
The Dodgers totaled 1,229
points, including 96 out of 167
first place votes. The New York
Giants, defending champions In
the National league, gained only
30 first place votes and 1,098
points.

Weather Fine
As 16 Clubs
Open Slate
New York U.R) Bain
marred the opening of the ma
jor league baseball season
when the Giants-Phils game
at New York and the Yankee
Alhletics game at Philadel
phia were postponed.
In Washington, where
President Truman was sched
uled to throw out the "first
ball." the weather outlook was
for possible light afternoon
showers. The Senators were
matched against the Boston
Red Sox.
In Boston, where the Dodg
ers were due to open against
the Braves, the weather was
cloudy with a light rain.
New York (U.R) The major
leagues opened what could be
one of their most exciting sea
sons today before nearly a quar
ter of a million fans.
The weather generally was
fine after a long weekend of rain,
dark clouds and a cold front that
threatened postponements a 1 1
over the map.
National League Standouts
With the emphasis on pitching,
the games that loomed as stand
outs were both in the National
League. At Braves field, lefty
Warren Spahn, who pitched no
hit ball against the Dodgers the
last time he faced them in ex
hibition compeition, will oppose
Preacher Roe.
Roe, at 22-3 for the 1951 sea
son, had a 3-1 record against the
Braves while Spahn was 2-2 in
his outing against the Dodgers.
At the Polo Grounds, Sal (The
Barber) Maglie, who had a 23-6
record in 1951, was out to beat
the Phillies for the ninth straight
time. He never has lost to them.
He was opposed by Robin Rob
erts, ace of the Phillies' staff
who won 21 games last season,
but who lost three times and
won only twice from New York.
Dickson Faces Cards
In other National League
games, Murry Dickson, a 20
game winner for the Pirates in
1951, opposed Gerry Staley of
the Cardinals, who racked up 19
triumphs, while at Cincinnati,
Herman Wehmeier of the Reds
met lefty Paul Minner of the
Cubs. Wehmeier, although he
won only seven games in 1951,
beat the Cubs three times, while
Minner had a 3-4 record against
the Reds.
"Jinx" Pitchers In AL
Jinx pitchers got the nod in
two big American League games.
At Washington before President
Truman, Mel Parncll of the Red
Sox will try to set down the
Senators once again. His life
time record against them is 15-2
and he will be opposed by Bob
Porterfield, who lost two of his
three starts against Boston last
year and is 1-4 against them for
his career.
Big Vic Raschl of the world
champion Yankees was out to
continue his mastery over the
Athletics in Philadelphia. Rasehi
is 20-2 for his career against the
A's, a factor which probably
prompted Manager Jimmy Dykes
to by-pass his ace leity, nobby
Shantz, in favor of Alex Kellner.
In other American League
games, 20-game winner Ned
Garver of the Browns takes on
veteran Dizzy Trout of the Ti
gers at Detroit, while Early
Wynn, a 20-victory ace of the
Indians opposed Billy Pierce of
of the White Sox at Chicago.
Garver beat the Tigers four times
last year and Pierce topped the
Indians five times while losing
only once.
CHIEFS WIN
Pentieton, B.C. (U.R) The
Wenatchee Chiefs belted three
Vancouver pitchers for 19 hits to
defeat the Caps 10-8 in 10 in
nings yesterday to score their
first 1952 exhibition victory.

Kid Matthews
Wins by KO
In Portland
Portland U.R Harry Kid
Matthews of Seattle hoped Tues
day he has improved his chance
of getting a shot at the heavy,
weight title as a result of his
victory over Charlie Eagle of
Waterbury, Conn.
Matthews KO'd Eagle to the
fifth round of a scheduled 10
round main event before 4,800
fans Monday night.
First Warmup Bout
The fight was the Kid's first
warm-up toward his manager'
goal of a match against the win
ner of the Joe Walcott-Ezzard
Charles championship fight later
this year. The title bout has no
rematch provision, leaving an
opening for a new challenger.
Matthews, who weighed tn at
181 for his first fight of 1952,
dropped Eagle for a nine-count
early in the fifth. A few seconds
later, he forced Eagle against
the ropes with a flurry of rights
and lefts. Matthews stepped
back "and Eagle fell to the can
vas for the full count.
First Rounds Dull
The first four rounds were
dull except in the opening round
when Matthews slipped to the
floor while getting away from a
punch. He jumped up before a
count could be started. Other
wise, Eagle managed to hold the
Seattle fighter at bay.
Matthews' next fight will be
with Georgie Kaplan in San
Francisco April 28. . .
