WASHINGTON, April 16 fPi
Misty, chilly wcuther today
caused the opening gnme of the
major league baseball scuson be
tween the New York Yankees
and Washington Senators to be
called off.
Tho gume has been dedicated
to tho memory of the late Presi
dent Ilooscvelt und the postpone
ment was mudo with consider
ubla reluctance.
Threats of rain and cold
wcuther hung on during the
morning but Owner Clurk Grif
fith held off until after noon
lo announce the postponement.
Speukcr Sam Unburn was se
lected to pitch the first bull,
murklng the first time in base
ball history thut tho honor had
gone to a member of congress.
It usuully is reserved for the
president or vice president.
The dodlcutoi-y ceremonies to
Mr. Hoosevolt will be curried out
Friday when the Senutors face
tho Yankees here after a three
duy series in Philadelphia.
It is the fourth wurtimc sea
son und comes ut u time when
the end of the wur in Germany
is at hund with perhups the first
stugus oi a return lo normalcy.
It marks the debut of the
Yunkees under new owners,
Lurry MucPhail, Dun Topping
mid Del Webb, who purchased
the club fruin the Jtieob Kuppert
estate during the winter. It is
tile start of the 57th season for
Clurk Griffith, owner of the
Senutors.
It still wus unknown whether
the new president. Hurry S. Tru
man, .vould to.u out the first bull
In keeping with a custom which
begun In 1010 when Willlnm
llowurd Taft was in the White
House. '
Truman, us vice president,
promised to make the first pitch,
if President lioo.se veil were un
able to do so. Uut now that he
Is. the chief executive ho mny
nut find time to attend the game.
All that Washington club offi
cials could suy wus that some
high government official will oc
cupy the presidential box and
make the first pitch.
FDR Sot Record
Mr. Roosevelt hud found it Im
possible to participate in the of
ficial openings during wartime,
although he sot a record of mak
ing eight first pilches in peace
time, from 1033 through 1041,
missing only 1030.
In respect to the memory of
Mr. Roosevelt, un expected near
enpneity crowd of about 30.000
will stand for a minute of silent
prayer shortly before tho game
starts ai a p. m, ttw i).
Two veteran righthanders will
do the pitching, Atlcy Donald
for the Yankees and Dutch Leon
ord for the Senators. ,
The Yankees, who' finished
third lost senson, entertain some
championship Hopes, but the
Senators, last In 1044, are not so
ambitious. Both teams have al
most the same lineups as a year

Program
Planned
By BUS HAM
WASHINGTON. April 16 (IP)
When the end comes to Ger
many. America's millions of men
In Europe will lose no time
swinging over from fighting to
athletic competition.
The war department has at the
"klckoff" stage a vast sports
program to include every man in
uniform.
These games eventually may
be climaxed by allied cham
pionships that will dwarf by
comparison the largest of peace
time Olympic games.
Such countries as England,
France, Poland, Brazil, Aus
tralia, Canada, New Zealand, !
Yugoslavia and others probably
will compete.
"And we hope that Russia
comes in," said Col. Henry W.
"Eskic" Clark, head of the ath
letics branch of the army special
services division under . Maj.
ucn. joscpn w. ayron.
Sports Beneficial
"When the fiahtlne sIods. our
men will have leisure time be
fore they are transferred to the
Pacific or some come home,"
Clark said, "and these' sports
games will keep them interested
and in physical trim."'
A corresponding program will
be put into effect for serviceman
in this country. .
More than $7,500,000 - worth
of equipment already is avail
able for practically every form
of athletics, including:
Enough baseball uniforms for
15,000 men with additional balls.
bats, gloves and the like for
900,000 more players;
Equipment for - 600,000 soft
ball players; complete gear for
700 football squads of 25 men
each with 72,000 footballs; bas
ketball uniforms for 5000 teams
of 10 men each.

Yfins Five
AAU Titles
Presented Sullivan Award
After Swim Championships
By JIMMY JORDAN
CHICAGO, April 10 (IP) Ann
Curtis, who only a few years ago
was taking lessons to learn to
swim, today packed away five
gold medals emblematic of na
tional swimming titles as well as
the Sullivan Memorial trophy,
and then began to worry about
the national AAU outdoor cham
pionship next summer : at Los
Angeles.
Miss Curtis, unusually shy and
mooest lor a girl wno holds
more American and world rec
ords than any other swimmer of
her sex, picked up the five gold
medaLs in the women's national
AAU indoor swimming cham
pionships which ended at the
Chicago Town club's pool last
night. She not only held her
220 and 440-yard free style
titles, but also upset Brenda Hel
ser of Hollywood to add the 100
yard free style title to- her list.
In addition, the dark-haired
mermaid anchored the San Fran-,
Cisco Crystal plunge 400-yard
relay and 300-yard medley relay
teams to victories.
The Sullivan Memorial trophy,
annually awarded to the out
standing amateur athlete of the
nation, was presented to Miss
Curtis following the swimming
championships. She is the first
woman to receive the award.
Now she mast defend her 100,
200, 440, 880 and 1500 -meter
titles in outdoor competition.
Miss Curtis was easily the
class of the field of more than
50 that competed in the three
day meet here. Her only real
competition, from Miss Helser,
came in the 100 and 220-yard
free style events. She won the
former Friday night by inches.,
and then came through in the
last lap of the 220 to shake off
the challenge of Miss Helser and
win by 10 feet.
Her 220 time, 2:31.5. was far
off the record, and in fact, only
one record was broken during
the meet. Miss Joanne Wilson,
a Northwestern university fresh
man, representing the Chicago
Lake Shore club, set a' new
American standard of 1:15.1 in
winning the 100-yard breast
stroke.

Pennant Favorites
Selected by Pilots
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK, April 16 (IP)
St. Louis, Chicago,' Pittsburgh
and possibly New York will bat
tle for the National league pen
nant, and St. Louis, Detroit and
New York for the American
loop flag, according to a digest
today of pre-season comment by
major league managers for The
Associated Press.
None ventured an outright
pennant pick and all expected
their own clubs to show "im
provement," qualifying all re
marks with "If we can keep
what we have." As usual, no
n.anager expected his team to
finish in the cellar, occupied last
year by Washington and the
Phillies.
The managers followed the
general line of reasoning of 78
baseball writers who predicted
similar races with another all
S.t. Louis world series.
O'Neill Enthusiastic
Perhaps the most enthusiastic
statement by a skipper came
from Steve O'Neill of the Detroit
Tigers.
"' "With the test pitching staff
in the league and plenty of good
reserves for all positions we're
much better prepared for the
opening than we were a year
ago," said O'Neill. "Hitting has
been our big question mark but
Rudy York, Roger Cramer and
rookie Bob : Maier have been
meeting the ball squarely and
we may be stronger offensively
than we thought."
All skippers agreed a fine
break from the weatherman who
provided unusually warm March
and early April left the clubs in
the best condition since north
ern spring training was inaugur
ated. Due to travel restrictions and
curtailed exhibition schedules,
managers had not been able to
size up the opposition accurately.
All they knew about the rookies,
in most cases, was what they had
read.
Servicemen May
Attend All N.L.
Ball Games Free
NEW' YORK, April 18 (IP)
Every day will be servicemen's
day in the National league this
year,' according to President
Ford Friok who announced to
dajr all uniformed- men will be
admitted to all games without
charges. Sundays and holidays
were included.
A uniform is the servicemen's
pass to all home games of most
clubs-and a-trip to the local
USO unit will provide the neces
sary credentials at Boston, Pitts
burgh, St. Louis and Chicago.
