By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer The flags fluttering in the wind . . . the shrill shouts of the vendors hawking their hotdogs, peanuts and scorecards . . . the familiar huddle at home plate . . . and finally the first official pitch all add up to the long awaited opening day of another baseball season.

A crowd of 20,000 is anticipat ed to be on hand when the left handed Ford, who had a 19-6 record last season, tosses up the first offering to Washington's leadoff man.

(International Soundphoto) Seals Nab Twinbill; Dick Stuart Stopped By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer They are bending curves around Dick Stuart's bat al ready, and the rage of the Holly wood Stars once again may be the pride of Lincoln, Neb., be fore the season grows too old. Dickey boy, who went into Sunday's double header against San Diego riding a streak of five home runs in three games, fail ed to get a hit in eight trips to the plate and struck out on six of them. All this added credence to reports he fanned some 158 times at Lincoln in the Class A Western teague last year even if he did sock those 66 round trip pers. Stuart's bad day didn't cool down the Twinks, however. They took both ends of a dou ble header from San Diego, 7-3 and 3-2, to remain ahead in the early stages of the coast league race by a half game. And get this one. Pitcher Ben Daniels, a teammate of Stuart's last year, won his own game in the nightcap by hitting a 350 foot homer in the final inning to break a 2-2 tie. Mounties Get Two.
