Mountlss Fade
For a few hectic innings, it
seemed that Lefty O'Doul's Van
couver Mounties might finish the
day or. top of the league. They
steamed to their third straight
win by downing Los Angeles,
7-6, in an 11-inning opener that
took four hours and six minutes
to pl;y. Outfielder Angelo Dag-
res broke it up with his fourth
hit of the game, scoring old
George Metkovich. But the
Mounties went down, 4-3, in the
second game when beefy Steve
Bilko of the Angels clipped a
game winning single in the home
half of the last inning.
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

the opener, 6-3. Vic Lombardi
spun a five hitter in the short
finale as the Suds won, 3-1.

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
