NEW YORK, April 22 0P)
The opening-day major league
scores led us to wonder whether
the 1R43 model baseball really is
dead, or just the hitters. . . .
And what became of the idea
that managers wouldn't let their
prize pitchers risk their arms lor
more than four or five innings
In the early games? Johnny Van
der Meer and Mort Cooper prob
ably will tell you they couldn't
learn a thing now from Bill Cox'
commando training. . . . The
Phils and Braves plan to play a
morning game in June for the
benefit of war workers. . . .
Well, that's one way of discour
aging absenteeism.

Great Pitchers' Year
Promised for Majors
' Opening Day Sees Four Games, Four
Shutouts; Weather Holds Schedule
By JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Sports Writer
If opening day in the major leagues was any criterion, this
may be the greatest pitchers' year in baseball history.
Four games, four shutouts, two of them 1-0, one of them 11
innings!
Weather conditions permitted only half of the eight scheduled
inaugural games to be played yesterday, and held down atten
dance at these contests to 55,021 fans, but classic pitching made
the day worth remembering.
Looking at the day's business in composite there was a total
of only 11 runs, 42 hits of which just nine were tor more than

one base, and up till the seventh
inning there had been but three
runs scored.
The most magnificent mound
show was given the largest
crowd, 27,709 at Crosley field
in Cincinnati, where Johnny
Vander Meer and Mort Cooper
dueled for 11 innings before the
Reds finally squeezed in front
of the world champion St. Louis
Cardinals 1-0.
Vander Meer, who could look
forward to his greatest year if
he were not awaiting a call for
induction, held the Cardinals to
two hits, both of them singles
in the first three innings. In
one superb stretch he retired
21 consecutive batters, most of
whom never even got the ball
out of the infield.
Cooper was in occasional
trouble, but he worked out of
his jams and up till the 11th
had allowed only four hits.
Then Lonny Frey beat out an
infield hit, was sacrificed to sec
ond and came sprinting home
on a single by Max Marshall.
A struggle almost as spectacu
lar was staged for 13,847 fans
in Cleveland's big municipal
stadium as the Indians nosed out
the Detroit Tigers, 1-0, with a
run in the ninth. Jim Bagby,
who had tamed the Tigers in
last year's opener, again was
the star. He held Detroit to
three hits, and drove in the win
ning run with a long fly.
The veteran Tommy Bridges
made it a battle, spacing six
Cleveland hits, but he couldn't
stop the Indians' battery.
The Pittsburgh Pirates hand
cuffed the Chicago Cubs, 6-0,
with Truett (Rip) Sewell scat
tering three hits. Paul Derrin
ger, making his debut in a Cub
uniform before 9044 fans at
Wrigley field, Chicago, re
strained Pittsburgh to two runs
till the eighth, when the Pirates
plastered across four tallies and
Manager Jimmy Wilson had to
use three other hurlers to finifti
the game.
At St. Louis,' Lefty Al Hol
lingsworth pleased a small
turnout of 4421 by pitching the
Browns to a 3-Q triumph over
the Chicago White Sox on four
hits.
Fairview in
Champ Line
After Win
Fairview softballers dropped
the Conger A team, 10 to 6, in
last night's game in the city
grade school baseball tourna
ment to win the right to meet
the victors of tonight's Roosevelt-Mills
game in the - cham
pionship tilt.
Tied 5-5 at the end of the
fifth inning, the game was car
ried an extra inning when Fair
view batted out four runs to
win. Dale Craig of Conger
socked three runs out of three
times at bat, totaling one home
run, a three bagger and a single
for his day's work. Brightman
of Fairview hit two out of
three times up, garnering a
home run and single. .
Mills B team was dropped
by Roosevelt 14 to 2 in the first
round of the B tournament.
Tom Sandoe , of Roosevelt hit
three out of three times at bat.
Pitcher Leaves
Farm to Listen
To Ball Game
ADEL, la., April 22 (JP) Hal
Manders, Detroit Tiger pitcher,
who by his pwn choice returned
to a farm for the duration, took
time off from work to listen, to a
broadcast report of the Detroit
Cleveland game which marked
the opening of the 1943 baseball
season for his team mates.
Hal had to go to the house to
hear the radio report, but he
hopes later to have a radio in
stalled on his tractor so he can
listen without leaving the field.
"I spent a couple of weeks In
training with the Tigers at
Evansville, Ind., and they were
taking players away from us so
fast I got to wondering if base
ball would be able to make a go
of it this year," the 25-year-old
Tiger hurler explained..
Any crack about the weather
In April doesn't come under the
heading of dry humor.
