Just a year ago today. Dyer's Redbirds were In the midst of one of their worst early season slumps. But the picture Is much brighter tills year thanks to some splendid pitching by Murry Dickson and eeorge Munger. e Dickson gave up 10 hits In Tuesday's opener, but wound up with a 4-0 shutout. Munger allowed only .five yesterday and registered a 6-2 victory over the same Cincinnati Reds. The two triumphs shoved the Ttards Into a first place tie with the Philadelphia Phils. y Ben Chapman's Phillies made it two in a row over the Boston Braves, taking yesterday's game 4-3 in U Innings. A pair of walks, a sacrifice, a wild throw and Granville Hammer's long fly produced the win ning tally. ' Bill Voiselle was yanked for a pinch-hitter after seven Innings.

The Dodgers had the old one of 33 back in 1937, Pour Brooklyn second basemen Jackie Robinson, Ed Miksis, Bob Ramaraotti and Gene Mauch saw action. Robinson retired after five innings because of a bone bruise on his left hand. The homers were supplied by John Mize and Sid Gordon of the Giants, and Arky Vaughan (two), and Carl rurillo of the Dodgers. I Bases on balls by Forrest Main Jorced in two Chicago runs in the ninth to help the Cubs defeat the . Pirates In Pittsburgh. 8-3. Bill Nlch iclson and Andy Pafko hit home runs for the Cubs.

April 22 UPy One series doesn't make a season, of course. But what the Washington Senators did to the New York Yan kees shouldn't happen to a world champion. The Senators beat the Yanks yes terday. 6-3. to win the opening series, two games to one. This brings up two questions: 1. Are the Yanks a mite over confident, and could it be that they may have trouble hitting their stride? 2. Are the Senators advertised as weak in pitching, weaker In the infield, and weakest in the out fieldan underrated club? It's too early to tell, but it's not to early to wonder. For the Yanks, after getting away to a seven-run, season-opening in ning, have been surprisingly mild. Sid Hudson threw a five-hitter at the Yanks Tuesday, and little Mickey Haefner followed this up with a competent nine-hitter yes terday. Just to prove that the Yankees aren't completely out of Yankee Isms, one of those nine hits was Joe DiMaggio's tremendous 440-foot smash into the centerfleld bleachers. But look at the other side of the picture. The Senators got 30 hits In the three games. Among those hits were a four-run homer by Tom McBride and a three-run homer by Gil Coan. If they keep on like they've start ed, here are a couple of Washing ton rookies to watch out for: Al Kozar, second baseman, the pride of McKees Rock. Pa., has been to bat 13 times, got six hits, Including a double and a triple. Hit .339 with New Orleans last year. Coan. left field, one of the fastest men in baseball, has hit .333 against Yank pitching. Including a double and a homer. Hit 340 with Chattanooga last year. B .!. "It- 4 fill ..
