All that remains is to get a winning team. The Dodders opened the season Tuesday in their glit tering Chavez Ravine base ball palace before a crowd of 52,546 and then fell on their faces as they lost to the Cin cinnati Reds, 6-3.

There were a few snafus, but all in all it went pretty well. We had some trouble with cars vapor locking in the parking area, and of course most people were unfamiliar with the routes they were supposed to take." This is the first baseball stadium built with private funds since 1923 when Col. Jacob Rupert built Yankee Stadium for Babe Ruth. Dodger President Walter O'Malley has brought baseball seating up to date. There are no pillars to clock the general view. In right field, however, there were some complaints from fans who could not see the scoreboard. Additional scoreboards will be erected to cover this problem. I Vcro Beach.

OREGON ers opened their National league season against the Cin cinnati Reds. (UP1) Colt 45s In Major By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer Amid all that noisy can nonading by the likes of Bob Clemcnte. Wally Post, Gino Cimoli and the Yankees' famed "M and M boys," the shots that rang loudest in the major leagues Tuesday were by the new Colt 45s and two- gun Roman Mejias. The Houston Colts intro duced major league baseball to the land of the Alamo and Mejias shot off a double-bar reled salute in the form of a pair of three-run homers that made it an easy five-hit, 11-2 conquest for Bobby Shantz over the Chicago Cubs. And speaking of shoot-'em-ups, Roger Maris, Mickev Mantle and Bill Skowron each blasted a home run to help power the world champion New York Yankees to a 7-6 opening victory over the Bal timore Orioles. Whitey Ford started the game for the Yankees and Luis Arroyo saved it in the ninth. As one wise-guy put it upon leaving Yankee stadium, "It was just like watching an wst unm s cum niumismitl Make Biggest Noise Leagues on Tuesday old television movie on the late show." While the homer-hitters de cided most of the games on the first big program of the 1962 season, there were three brilliant shutout pitching jobs, by Dick Donovan of the Cleveland Indians, Juan Mari chal of the San Francisco Giants and Bob Friend of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tile biggest crowd of the day showed up at Los Ange les, where 52,564 watched Wally Post's three -run seventh-inning homer spoil the Dodgers' debut in their new Chavez Ravine stadium, 6-3. In other National league games, Bob Clemente, the major leagues' leading hitter in 1961, hit the first grand slam homer of this season to help Friend and the Pirates blank the Philadelphia Phils, 6-0, and the Giants beat War ren Spahn and the Milwaukee Braves, also 6-0, Donovan pitched a five-hit ter as the Indians defeated the Boston Red Sox, 4-0: Glno Cimoli's three-run homer gave the Kansas City Athletics a 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins; and Sherman Lollar's ninth-inning single drove in the Chicago White Sox' win ning run in a 2-1 triumph over the Los Angeles Angels. Msti Rained Out The scheduled debut of the New York Mcls against the Cardinals at night in St. Louis was rained out. The Wash ington Senators and Detroit Tigers were idle. Three ex-Pirates helped the Colt 45s beat the Cubs before a disappointingly small crowd of 25,271 at Houston s tem porary new ballpark. Mejias hit a three -run homer in the third inning off Chicago starter Don Cardwell and repeated in the eighth in- ning against Al Lary to drive in six runs for the day. Catch er Hal smith also nil a Hous ton homer. Shantz, who has not been a regular starter since he won 24 games for the Philadelphia Athletics in 1952, had a shut out until Ernie Banks hit the 299th homer of his career for the Cubs in the seventh. Post's three-run homer olf lefty Johnny Podres in the seventh inning broke a 2-2 tic and earned the Reds their win over the Dodgers. Bob Pur key got the victory, although Bill Henry saved it by pitch ing the Reds out of a bases loaded, one-out jam In the eighth. Pirates Blast Ovrini Friend held the Phils to five hits and walked only one Phils batter. Clemente hit his grand slam off Jim Owens In the third and Don Hoak im mediately followed with another homer. At San Francisco, Marichal hit a two-run single off Spahn and struck out 10 batters while pitching his three-hitter Willie Mays homered in the first off Spahn, who was driven out when the Giants scored four runs In the fourth inning. In the American league, Maris went 10 games ahead of his record 1961 timetable by hitting a three-run homer off Billy lloctt In the fifth. Skow ron earlier had hit an insidc-thc-park homer with a man on and Mantle connected with the bases empty off Skinny Brown to tie the score in the eighth. Terry Gels Victory Elston Howard's double and Skowron's single off knuckle bailer Hoyl Wilhelm pro duced the winning run Im mediately after Mantle's homer. Ford retired with a ,V4 lead after six innings; Marichal Sparkling For Giants By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco -WPU- South paw Billy O'Dcll will have something to shoot at tonight when he goes to the mound for the San Francisco Giants against the Milwaukee Braves. For Juan Marichal. the Giants' lithe right - hander, started the 1962 season on a sparkling note Tuesday by ' holding the Tribe to three hits in pitching the Giants to a 6-0 victory. He had a one-hitter going as far as the ninth then was tagged for singles by Tommie Aaron and Frank Boiling. But third baseman Jim Davenport turned Joe Torre's tricky bounder into a double play that helped quell the threat. Carlton Willey, 6-12 last I year, will face O'Dell Umight. i Billy posted a 7-5 mark last season. A crowd of 39,177 watched ; Marichal strike out 10 Braves with Henry Aaron - one of the league's most feared slug- j gers - whiffing three times. "His control seemed pretty I good," said Aaron, who wasn't too excited about discussing what happened. Marichal also collected two tage, but gained credit for the victory when the Yankees scored twice in the eighth, and Arroyo put down a Baltimore rally in the ninth. Donovan gave up five sin gles and one walk as the In dians beat Don Schwall of the Red Sox, the 1961 American league rookie of the year John Romano hit a triple and two singles to figure in three Cleveland runs. Cimoli's three-run homer in the fourth off Jack Kralick supplied the power for Ed Rakow's seven-hit Kansas City win over Minnesota. Lollar's game-winning hit for the White Sox was his fourth of the day. Juan Pi- zarro pitched a five-hitler for Chicago and reliever Ryne Duren, who walked two bat ters and was relieved by Joe Nuxhall before Lollar came to bat was the loser.
