NEW YOKK, April 16 (JT)
Banc-ball goes big league again
today as the 1948 season opens
in eight cities before an esti
mated 223,000 fans, eager to sec
the real stuff instead of the syn
thetic wartime brand of play.
Although the weatherman
forecasts cool, cloudy weather
in most of the parks, the turn
stiles arc duo to click their mer
riest tune since the all-time high
of 249.010 in 1931.
Detroit will top the list with
a turnout of 50,000 plus at
Briggs stadium to watch the de
fending world champion Tigers
wrestle with the St. Louis

Braves Purchase
Ray Sanders
BOSTON, April 16 (4s) First
division stock of the Braves
soared today with the news that
the club had purchased grace
ful Ray Sanders, St Louis Card
inal regular first baseman for
the past four seasons, and Mat
thew (Max) Surkont, a rugged,
right handed pitcher from the
same club.
The up and coming Braves
gave as their part of the deal,
first of many likely in this first
postwar season, a "substantial
amount of cash" and Infielder
Tommy Nelson.
Nelson, who only appeared in
40 of the Graves' games last sea
son, now is at his west coast
home with his sick young son.
He will be assigned to Columbus,
the Redbird's farm in the Amer
ican association.
Characterized by his new, and
also old manager, Billy South
worth, as "one of the best clutch
hitters in the business," Sanders
may give the Braves the needed
fillip to gain them a first divis
ion berth in the scramble with
Pittsburgh and New York.
Yanks Send Hurler
Ardizoia To Oaks
NEW YORK, April 16 (AP)
The New York Yankees cut two
more players off their roster
today, sending Pitcher Rinaldo
(Rugger) Ardizoia to Oakland of
the Pacific Coast league and In
fielder Joe Buzas to Newark of
the International league.
Ardizoia, a 26-year-old right
hander from San Francisco,
played with Kansas City in 1942
before he entered the armed
service. Buzas opened the sea
son as the Yankee shortstop in
1945 but was shipped to New
ark in midseason. He hit .225
in 61 games with the Bears.
