Two Veterans
Comeback Picks
. New York '- -CUPD - Duke
Snider of the Los Angeles
Dodgers and Jackie Jensen of
the Boston Red Sox have been
labeled the veterans most
likely to make significant
comebacks during the 1961
big league baseball season.
. Snider, who saw only part
time, service last season, and
Jensen, who sat out the year
In voluntary retirement, were
singled out in the United Press
International's pre-season sur
vey of 57 experts who viewed
the teams In action this spring.
Snider,' 34, one of the last
of the old Brooklyn heroes,
saw action In only 101 games
last season and batted only
.243. He hit .386 and wal
loped five homers this spring.
-Jensen, 33, will be attempt
ing a much more complicated
type of comeback. Few play
err, even those who returned
to 'itardrom after service in
World War II, were able to
avoid a year of adjustment
after being out of competition
full season. ' :
Pirates
Angels
Of Lightning in
Display
Opening
Bolts
Games
By NORMAN MILLER'
United Press International
The champion Pittsburgh
Pirates still have that old late-
inning lightning, but it wasn't
any more - devastating than
that opening, bolt by the Los
Angeles Angels,
. . It , was- like 1960 all over
again when Bill Virdon hit a
three-run homer in tls-8 ninth
inning Tuesday to give the
Pirates a come-from-behind
8-7 victory over the San Fran
cisco Giants. And who re
ceived credit for the pitching
victory? Elroy Face, of course
The most explosive home
run display of the first full
day of the 1961 seasdn was
suoDlied by the Angels, how
ever, in their .'initial major
league game. Ted Kluszewskl
hit a pair of homers and Bob
Cerv one In a 7-2 victory over
the Baltimore Orioles. Even
more surprising than that Los
Angeles power was the classy
6-hlt pitching job by Ell Grba,
the Yankee castoff. The An
gels are tabbed a power-rich,
Ditching-poor ball club.
- There were other surprises,
too, as both league races got
underway Tuesday, v ;
Spahn Loses Opener
.-Warren Spahn of the Mil
waukee Braves lost a home
or a season opener for the
first time in seven tries when
Daryl Spencer hit a lOth-in-
ning home run that gave the
St. Louis Cardinals a 2-1 tri
umph.
-The Yankees made a dis
mal home debut under new
Manager Ralph Houk. Pedro
Ramos held them to three hits

Famous Comeback Again
Pittsburgh'. . ninth - inning
explosion was reminiscent of
the many rallies the Hues
pulled In winning the pennant
last year. The Giants opened
a 6-3 lead in the fifth on back-to-back
homers by Willie Mc-
Covey and Orlando Cepeda,
and still led 7-0 going into the
ninth,. . .,-,. .
Then Dick ScHofleld hit a

Spahn led Ernie Broglio, 1-0
after seven innings on a hom
er by Eddie Mathews. A triple
by Hal Smith in the eighth,
followed by Bob Nieman's
pinch single tied the score for
St. Louis and Spencer's homer
foiled Spahn's bid for his
289th victory. Lindy McDan

Bill Virdon
Gets Bucs
Off Right
By HAL WOOD
San Franclsco-(UPD-"There's
something special about win
ning a game the opening day
with a home run in the last
inning," smiled Bill Virdon,
the crack center fielder of the
Pittsburgh Pirates. ,
Virdon was talking about
his three-run circuit . clout
with two away In the ninth
that gave the Pirates a come-from-behind
8-7 -victory over
the San Francisco Giants. It
happened in full view of 41,
423 fans, some of whom al
ready were leaving for home
content that their heroes had
won.
"It's not like uv the World
Series," he went on.
' "Here if we lose, we can
make it up the next day.
"But it's still a fine feeling
to know that you are off on
the right foot." '
Came Off McCormick .
Virdon, a left-handed hitter,
got his smash off the offering
of lefty Mike McCormick, the
league's leading earned -run
artist of I960.'
' "In the four or five years
I've batted against ' him it's
the first homer I've ever got'.'
And I had only eight last year
all season long." - :
Virdon stands an even six
feet tall and weighs 185
pounds. He looked : like a
midget compared with hulk
ing Bob Skinner who plays
beside him in the outfield.
"He's not very big, but he's
mighty-at least today," laugh
ed Skinner. "I can tell you
right now we've still got the
spirit we had last year. We'll
be tough to beat."
They admitted It was early
in the season. But they still
are the same rollicking crew
that took three terrific shel
lackings from the iNew York
ir l 1 111,, uni.! Gai-lne
and came around to win.
The Pirates came from be
hind to win in the last inning
15 times last year. And -they
are off on the right foot again.
