Fisher Spiked There wasn't much Joy in Sac ramento, either, where right handed pitcher Maurice Fisher of the Solons spiked himself in the right foreleg in a similar run on second base in the eigHth inning of the first game.

San Francisco downed Port land 6-2. in their chilly opener as Jerry Casale fireballed the first five innings to notch his first win of the year. Bill Slack checked Portland for the rest of the game when Casale wai belt ed for a double to open the sixth. Bill Werle went the route for the defeat. Beavers' Revenge The Beavers won the second, 4-3, on four unearned runs. Aft er Bowsfield's mishap in the third inning, pitchers Eli Grba and Jack Osborn did the hurliri,' but the loss remained Bows field's. Bob Hall got the win al though he was slugged for three runs in the last inning and had to give way to Ray Shore. Hollywood and San Diego also divided their marbles. The Stars took the opener, 3-1. John Carmichael blanked the Stars with four hits in the night cap for a 6-0 win which assured the Pads of a split. Seattle and Sacramento broke even as well. The Solons won the opener, 6-3.

Major League Diamond Season Opens Ike To Toss First Ball at Washington By CARL LUNDQUIST New York (U.R) America's big and little people, a golfer named Iks and a few million guys named Joe, take time out Tuesday for the opening of the major league baseball season. President Eisenhower, return ing from a golfing vacation at Augusta, Ga., will throw out the ceremonial "first pitch" at Wash ington and upwards of a quarter-of-a-million fa'ns will join him there and in seven other open ing day games around the na tion. A legion more will watch the openers on television, hear about them on their radios., or read about them in their news papers. Not the best baseball weather was promised by the forecasters. It will be cool in most places, clouds and showers will hang over some parks and in Boston there even was the possibility of snow flurries. Nevertheless, it promised to be a gala day wherever games are- played. Mr. Eisenhower after observing the first-pitch tossing tradition started by Pres ident Taft in 1910, will settle back to watch . the pennant-defending New York Yankees play the last place Senators of 1955. By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer Manager Walter Alston of Brooklyn's world champions glumly conceded -today that "we're huring for pitcher's" but hoped that he could get along with three starters during the early days of the season when there are open dates and post poned games. For the present at least, he has only Don Newcombe, Carl Erskine, and Roger Craig as bona fide starters, although he may press 19-year-old Don Drys dale into service. Moreover, both Newcombe and Erskine have had arm trouble, too, and through could weather, over-exertion, or other adversity join Billy Loes, Don Bessent, Karl Spooner, and Sandy Koufax in dry dock. Loss of Podres Naturally, the loss of lefty Johnny Podres to the Navy com plicated matters even more. For tunately, Alston is well suport ed wih such rtlicl stars as Clem Labiue, Ed Roebuck, and Jiro. Hughes but L: they're called on toe often, the whoie staff might b'Jg down. .. The Y?.ikees, like the Dod gers, have their injury troubles, too, even though both clubs are heavily favored to win their re spective races again in the sea son beginning Tuesday. The Yankee pitching is okay but Gil McDouglad, Irv Noren, Bob Cerv, and Elston Howard have been laid up most of the spring. All teams were idle today ex cept for the Giant who made a sentimental journey to West Point, N.Y., fo play an exhibi tion against Army's Cadets a tradition that started in the time cl Manager John McGraw.
