Senators Whip Red Sox 10-1; Rest of American Starts Today Kansas City at Chicago, Cleveland Faces Detroit Br FRED DOWN Unittd Prass Initrnatlonal The American League starts Its 60th season in tour cities today with everybody trying to catch the Washington Sena tors. An estimated 125,000 fans were expected to turn out in good weather hoping for at least partial answers to three big questions: -Are the American League champion Chicago White Sox really that good? -Are the New York Yan kees really that bad? -Has Frank Lane traded away the Cleveland Indians' pennant chances? : The American League, left at the post when the National League started its race on April 12, staged its "presi dential opener" before Presi dent Eisenhower in Washing ton, D. C, Monday when Ca- milo Pascual pitched a 10-1 victory over the Bbston Red Sox. Washington fans thus were assured of rooting for a first-place team at least one day of the season. IS Strikeouts Pascual, whose 17-10 record and six shutouts stamped him as a star last season, pitched a three-hitter and his 15 strike-outs broke the club mark of 14 held by Walter Johnson and Jim Shaw. The Red Sox' run resulted from the 493rd homer of Ted Wil liams' career tying Lou Geh rig's lifetime total. Jim Lem on, Bob Allison, Earl Battey and Billy Consolo homered for the Senators.

An estimated 35,000 fans were expected to see the White Sox open at home against the Kansas City Ath letics but the day's top crowd about 40,000 was expected at Cleveland's Municipal sta dium where the fans appar ently are debating whether to hoist the American flag or Frank Lane to the centerfield flag pole. The Indians were to have American league batting champion Harvey Kuenn play SERIOUS BUSINESS President Eisen hower threw the .first ball Monday for the Washington-Boston American league open er and looks as if he wanted to make it a good one.

The undefeated Indians, lnariprf with Los Aneeles Dod gers farm talent, had to come from behind Monday nignt, but they did it with a rush to edge San Diego, 5-4. Portland took over second place in the standings with a 2-1 win over Sacramento, and Salt IjVp registered its first victory of the campaign by dumping Seattle, 10-B. Van couver and Tacoma were rain ed out. Padres Fold San Diego looked like a sure thing against Spokane for a while Monday night, holding a 4-0 lead after five heats. The Indians issued wnrninff In the sixth when Frank Howard doubled home a pair, and then really went to work in the seventh. Giardello Gets Chance at Title Bozeman, Mont. -JUPD- Joey Giardello, one of boxing's bad boys, gets a long denied title chance Wednesday, and the Brooklyn middleweight was confident today that he would not miss cashing in against NBA middleweight champion Gene Fullmer. 'I've got peace of mind, he said, "for the first time since maybe 1954. I've got determi nation to win. I'm In the best shape I've been in for maybe five years, and I don't see how I can lose." Giardello, 29, twice pre viously lost chances at the middleweight crown, once ne withdrew from a bout with champion Carl "Bobo" Olson because an injured knee stif fened up. The second time ha was not permitted to go through with an Olson fight because he was under charges of assault and battery In 1954 following a scrap between a group of his friends and a filling station attendant. He eventually served nearly four months of a six to 18 month sentence In the case. Fullmer, who will be de fending his national boxing title not recognized in New York and Massachusetts, was a 5-2 favorite despite GlardeU lo'i optimism. ing center field and batting second while the Tigers planned to put ex-Cleveland favorite Rocky Colavito in right field and batting fifth. Kuenn and Colavito were the principals in Sunday's sensa tional trade that brought the fury of many Cleveland fan's down on Lane's head. Early Wynn Starts Early Wynn, 40, a 22-game winner in 1959, was named to pitch for the White Sox against 16-game winner Bud Daley, a left-handed knuckle bailer who beat the AL champs three times last season. The Indians scheduled Gary Bell, 16-game winner as a rookie, to appear on the mound. The Tigers were to counter with Frank Lary, (17 10), in 1959. The Yankees, who won 11 Varl Pnhisnn ot-flrtprl the biff inning by getting to first when hit by a pitch. A pair of sin gles by Ramon Conde and Gene Brumley and a Padre error tied it up. Then relief pitcher George O'Donnell, who worked four hitless inn ings to take the win, hit a one-baser to drive home the clincher. Noel Mickelsen of Portland kept Sacramento under con trol with a five-hitter as the Beavers moved to their second win in three starts. The So Ions didn't score until the ninth when Bob Jacobs sin gled home Dave Roberts who had doubled and moved to third on a sacrifice. Freest Homers .

"All it share, with ether cart is the reed" c Ike-Nixon Liked HR Washington -H'PD- Ted Wil- liams had President Eisen hower and Vice President Rich.ird M. Nixon rooting for him when he hit his homer in Monday's Boston Red Sox Washington Senators opener. Just before the Red Sox came to bat in the second in ning, Nixon was overheard saying to the President: "Ted Williams is coming up this inning and it will probably be his last season. I'd like to see him get off to a good start. Let's root for him to get a home run." Ike grinned and agreed. A few minutes later, Williams hit his homer for Boston's only run in a 10-1 defeat. Mike Hood Leaps 21 -ll1 2 At Relays A 21- foot ll'a-inch broad jump by Mike Hood, legs of :22.1 by Len Griggs and :22.4 by Kent Blew in the 880-yard relay and a :52.3 lap by Blew in the mile relay were among highlights for Medford high trackmen last Saturday in the Hayward relays. Coach Dean Benson of the Black Tornado reported that Dan Sieg had one broad jump over 21 feet but barely fouled and had to settle for a best good jump of 19-8. The Tor nado leapers all were getting good distance on their jumps but had trouble barely step ping over the board. Phil Humphreys best counting jump was 20-2 as Medford took fifth. Griggs had his fast 220 leg of the half-mile relay despite getting boxed by Jefferson and Grant men and losing time in trying to go out around them. Jeff was first and Grant second in the fast heat of the event. The Tornado gained third place points. The race was not run in lanes after the first exchange. Ayrts Overlooked Medford did not place in the high hurdles but there was evidence that Walt Ayres should have been at least in cluded in the tie for third Gary Allison, Madison, who finished just a chest in front of Ayres in one heat, was clocked in :15.4 and was awarded second place. Three nthera from other heats were iudaed tied for third with In n Orrfinarilv a chest dif ference in a race still would mean the same time on the watch. One clock caught Ayres In :15.3. Hood had a :15.6 time. Individual high jumps by th MpHfnrH three-man team in tying for sixth were Hood s.m .lerrv shnlts 5-fl and Bob Mclntyre 5-3. While Medford did not place in the shot put, nninn remrted that the Tor nado did improve its distance over the Rogue relay winning total. Puts were Tom Bortis 48-8. fteoree Clearwater 44-10 and Al Funston 42-5. Nick Lingren vaulted 11 fpet for Medford at Eugene but Skip Bennett had check mark trouble ana went out after clearing 10-6. Individual time for Medford in the shuttle hurdles in which the Tornado was second were Robert Hamilton :12.2, Ayres :11.4 and Dick Andrews :11.7. In the mile reiay ior Medford fifth times were Ter ry Ryan :55.5, Bob Rix :54.5, Bruce Hill :53.9 and Blew :52.3. In the two-mile relay mere is question on whether the Tornado might not have placed anyway but the Med fnrrf runners did suffer from lack of turn judges and were cut in on ana lorcea lo.Dreais their stride on eight occasions. Medford times were Ray Smith 2:02, Hill 2:06.1, Rix 2:08 and Bill Dahlstrom 2:12.4. Terry Ryan finished out of the scoring with a 164-foot plus javelin throw that rated him seventh best. CARRASQUEL RELEASED Chicago -(UPD-The Chicago White Sox got down to the 28-player limit Monday night by releasing shortstop Chico Carrasquel and sending catch, er Camilo Carreon, left-handed pitcher Rodolfo Arias and outfielder Harry Simpson to SanDiego. 3 MEDlWlVaTKlluire ipn&T New League May Raid for Players By EARL WRIGHT Unittd Press Intarnational Branch Rickey, heeding a call for "more positive action" by baseball Commissioner Ford Frick, provided plenty of it Monday with a threat that the Continental League may raid the American and National leagues to get players. Rickey, however, said such raids would be made only if the Continental League was forced to do so." Rickey, 78-ycar-old presi- d e n t of the Continental League, raised the possibility of such drastic action in re sponse to a question put to him Sunday by William Peer, moderator of "Metropolitan Probe," a program of New York's WNEW-TV slation. Sounds Raiding Threat If we re forced outside the canopy organized baseball, we'll sign players anywhere we can," Rickey said when asked by stale senators Mac Neil Mitchell (R-N.Y.) and Thomas Mackell (D-N.Y.) what action he might take if refused the cooperation of or ganized baseball. Rickey's threat came short ly after Frick called on the Continental League to make fewer complaints and take more positive action to qualify as a major league. Frick is sued his challenge from Los Angeles, where he presented the World Series pennant to the Dodgers. Johansson to Sign for Bout New York-flJPII-Ingemar Jo hansson, jubilant over adding an airplane pilot's license to his accomplishments, plans to sign today or Wednesday for his return heavyweight title bout with Floyd Patterson the week of June 20 at the Polo Grounds. The controversy-p 1 a g u e d path to the return bout ap peared cleared Monday when Feature Sports Inc., which plans to promote the fight, reached a full agreement for the purchase of 100 per cent of the stock of Patterson En terprises Inc. The deal must be approved by the state ath letic commission and the state attorney general. GIVEN DEADLINE Baltimore, Md.

FLEISCHMANN'S is the BIG buy! 90 PROOF is why! LCNOIO WHISKEY 0 PROOF THt PLEISCHMANN OISTIUINO Frick said organized base ball had "spelled out" the re quirements for qualification as a major league last year. "So far, there has been no indication that the Continen tal League has qualified on a single point," Frick said. "Cer tainly they have made no ap plications, they have made no statements of progress and they have submitted no fac tual information which would justify any further action on the part of organized baseball. New League's Problem "Meantime, I wonder if it wouldn't help a little if we had fewer complaints, less alibing and a little more posi tive action." When informed later of Rickey's threat to raid the ma jors for players if forced to do so, Frick replied: "That's their problem. I would not care to comment on Mr. Rick ey's remarks beyond my state ment today." Frick did not explain his "that's their problem" phrase but it was interpreted to mean it was the new league's job to find players. Los Angeles Meets SF In New Park San Francisco - (DPI) - The Los Angeles Dodgers, who blitzed San Francisco's pen nant dreams last September in Seals Stadium, got their first look at the Giants' new ballfleld today when they moved into Candlestick Park for a two-game series. Things were slightly crucial already, with the traditional rivals tied for f.rst place in the early stages of the Nation al League race. John Podres (0-0), a special ist in short-circuiting the Giants' power, was slated to start this afternoon against Billy O'Dcll (0-1). Both are left-handers. Hard-throwing Podres best ed San Francisco three times last season without a loss and got the win in the final tri umph of a three-game sweep wnicn tne world Champion Dodgers hung on the fading Giants. It marked O'Dell's first start against a National league club. In his only other outing this year, the former Baltimore Hurler lost in a re lief role against the Chicago Cubs. When will lefty Johnny Antonelli start pitching for the Giants this year? Not until he is fully recovered from a muscle spasm In his back which twice has plagued him this spring. Which means that Bill Rigney plans to go with Available Sam Jones (2-0) again on Wednesday. He prob ably will ba faced by side wheeling Don Drysdale (2-0). ifBtY A $43S 'WQt.
