The New York Yankees wasted
no time letting American League
rivals know that Ralph Terry is
as good as he looked in the
World Series and Joe Pepitone
may be better than Joe DiMaggio
predicted.
Put the two factors together
and they spell calamity for long
suffering American Leaguers w ho
are hoping t!ieir majesties will
lose the pennant this year. The
AL's "shirtless ones" had hoped
ill Yankee pitching might be vul
nerable and 2 the Yanks had
out-smarted themselves by trad'
ing first-baseman Bill Skowron to
the Los Angeles Dodgers.
But Terry and Pepitone threw
plenty of cold water on those
hopes Tuesday when the Yanks
opened their season with an 8-2
victory over the Athletics in Kan
sas City. Even the fact that the
Athletics were all dolled up in
their new gold and green uni
forms wasn't enough to make the
30,976 hometown fans confuse the
with royalty.
Terry, who added two World
Series victories to his 23-12 record
in 1962, pitched a six-hitter and
walked only one batter w hile Pep
itone. making his varsity debut,
led the Yankees' 13-hit attack
with two homers and a double.
Pepitone is the 22-year-old free
swinging first-baseman who had a
sensational homer-streak early in
last season but who cooled off to
.239 and was farmed to Richmond.
His biggest booster is DiMaggio,
who has assured Yankee brass
that Pepitone will make the big
lime this year.
. Pepitone hit the first pitch of
fered to him for a homer Tues
day and also homered fn the
eighth inning. Elston Howard got
a bomer and Bobby Richardson
had a triple. Terry, meanwhile,
breezed seven shutout innings be
fore yielding solo homers in the
eighth and ninth to Bill Bryan
and Chuck Essegian.
The Chicago White Sox got an
early dividend from their key win
ter trade in toppling the Detroit
Tigers, 7-5. the Los Angeles An
gels beat the Boston Red Sox,
4-1, and the Cleveland Indians
shaded the Minnesota Twins, 5-4.
in the other American League
games.
Rookie Pete Ward and veteran
relief pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm. ob
tained in a winter deal w ith the
Orioles, were the stars of the
White Sox' victory. Ward hit a
three-run homer in the White Sox'
game-winning four-run seventh
inning rally and Wilhelm protect'
ed the lead with three innings of
one-hit shutout relief ball. Joe
Cunningham homered for the Sox
and Gus Triandos homered and
Rocky Colavito had three hits for
Detroit.
Ken McBride pitched a four
hitter and struck out six for the
Angels, who clobbered Bill Mon
bouquette for all their runs in the
fifth inning. Lee Thomas' three
run homer was the big blow of
' the frame. Carl Yastrzemski had
two of the Red Sox hits, includ
ing a homer that accounted for
their run.
Woodic Held, John Romano,
Max Alvis and Fred Whitfield hit
(lomers to produce all the Indians'
runs off 1962 20-game winner Ca
milo Pascual. Jim Grant pitched
seven-hitter for the Indians.
raising his lifetime record against
the Twins to 23-7.

In Crucial
Playoff Tilt
BOSTON (UPII Nearly eight
years of unchallenged rule over
professional basketball reaches
crisis stage tonight when the Bos
ton Celtics face Cincinnati's up-!
start Royals at Boston Garden.
The National Basketball Associ
ation playoff game now is a one-
shot affair for both clubs. For
Boston, victory would mean an
unprecedented eighth straight
Eastern Division playoff title.
For Cincinnati, an eight-point
underdog in surprisingly light
wagering, an upset would mean
both an end of the Boston era
and the arrival of a basketball
team that already has exceeded
by far its own fondest dreams
The clubs stand at three vie
lories apiece going into this sev
enth playoff meeting, despite the
fact that Boston whipped Cincin
nati nine times in a dozen regu
lar season games.

All Art Mahaffey's got Is a
blazing fastball and a nickel
curve, according to baseball know-l
it-alls, but that big hummer was
good enough to get the Philadel
phia Phillies off winging in the
National League pennant race.
'Just let him throw that fast
ball," says Phillie Manager Gene
Mauch. "He doesn't need those
other pitches."
The Cincinnati Reds found that
out for the second straight open
ing day when the big righthander
pitched a four-hitter and struck
out 10 in a 2-1 victory Tuesday
night.
"It was just fast balls," Ma-
Haffey said after the game. "I
threw only five breaking pitches
all night."

Officials
Meeting
On "Rig"
ATLANTA (UP1) - The attor
neys general of Georgia and Ala
bama were expected to confer to
day regarding an alleged football
scandal involving the state uni
versities of the two states.
Georgia Atty. Gen. Eugene
Cook was to meet with Alabama
Atty. Gen. Richmond Flowers in
the state capitol. Flowers was to
be accompanied by chief investi
gator Joe Breck Gantt of his of
fice and Alabama State Rep
Homer Cornctt.
Cook recently completed an in
vestigation into a report that
former Georgia Athletic Director
Wallace Butts and Alabama Coach
Paul (Bear) Bryant conspired to
rig the 1962 Alabama-Georgia
football game. Both Butts and
Bryant have denied the accusa
tion contained in a recent issue
of the Saturday Evening Post and
Butts has filed a $10 million libel
suit against the magazine.
Cook said his probe indicated
that Butts gave vital Georgia
team secrets to Bryant in a long
distance telephone conversation
nine days before the game last
Sept. 22 at Birmingham, Ala., ir
which .Alabama beat Georgia,
35-0. The Post article said the al
leged conversation accidentally
was overheard by George Bur
nett, an Atlanta insurance man.
A' U.S. Senate Rackets subcom
mittee currently is investigating to
determine if any federal gambling
laws were broken, and an Ala
bama legislative committee also
is looking into the Post report.
Commissioner Bernie Moore of
the Southeastern Conference, of
which Georgia and Alabama are
members, said he was seeking a
meeting of the conference cxecu
live committee within two weeks
to look into the alleged incident.
the Phillies last year, suffered
from a painful right shoulder dur
ing spring training but his open
ing night performance apparently
has dispelled any of Mauch's
worries.
Defeat Joey Jay
The Phils, long-time doormat of
the senior circuit but the best
team in the league for the second
half of last season, defeated 21
game winner Joey Jay for the
second straight year on opening
day. Don Demeter's single drove
in the first Phillie run in the
fourth inning and the clincher
came in when Gordy Coleman
muffed a double play ball in the
sixth.
The Reds rallied in the ninth
off Mahaffey when Frank Robin
son singled and John Edwards
doubled him home with one out.
Mahaffcy then settled down, strik
ing out Gene Freese and Tommy
Harper.
The National League champion
San Francisco Giants and the
Los Angeles Dodgers, rated with
Cincinnati as the top contenders,
for the NL flag, won their open-j
ing day contests.
Four home runs by Willie
Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Willie
McCovcy and Felipe Alou led the 1
Giants to a 9-2 victory over the
Houston Colts and 25-game win
ner Don Drysdale of the Dodgers
at the Chicago Cubs, 5-1.
Broglio Pitches Two-Hitter
In other games, Ernie Broglio
pitched a two-hit, 7-0 victory for
the St. Louis Cardinals over the
New Y'ork Mets, and Ted Sav
age's two-out, pinch single paced
the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 3-2
win over the Milwaukee Braves.
Jack Sanford, a 24-game win
ner for the Giants last season,
pitched five-hit ball for five in
nings before giving way to Jack
Fisher, who retired all 12 Colts
in order. The 90-degree heat and
Sanford's base-running he hit a
triple and a single, driving in
three runs caused the Giant
righthander to tire.
The Giants raked four Houston
hurlcrs for 17 hits, with sfarter
Dick Farrell getting the loss,
Maury Wills of the Dodgers, the
NL's most valuable player in
1962, suffered an injured ankle as
he tried to score in the third and
had to be replaced. Drysdale
spaced 11 hits and was helped
by three double plays. Rookie
Ken McMullen drove home two
runs for the Dodgers as Larry
Jackson took the loss for Chicago.
Larry Burright of the Mets got
the only hits off Broglio in the
first and ninth innings. In be
tween, the Card righthander set
down 20 straight Mets. Bill White's
homer and George Altman's four
hits led the Cards' 14-hit attack
12 of them coming off Roger
Craig.
Bonus baby Bob Bailey and
veteran Smoky Burgess homered
for the Pirates, who beat lefty
Bob Hendley. Relief ace Elroy
Face picked up the victory.
