You can go to the ball park, sit in the sun and, between bites on a hot dog, yell yourself hoarse at the visiting "bums" or the "blind umpire." For today the baseball season opens and the American fan can forget all about Europe's toil and trouble. At least he can forget about it for two hours or more out at the ball park in sun and fresh air. Tomorrow, it may be a different differ-ent story, but today all the world's sound and fury is drowned cut on this side of the Atlantic. . 200,000 Fans - More than 200,000 fans will sit in on baseball's grand opening in eight major league cities and thousands of others will listen in on the radio and eagerly await first returns from the opening day skirmishes.

Ex-Pitching Great Can't Afford Bleacher Seat Now By. HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, April 15 (U.P The baseball season starts here today and among those who won't see the opener is Grover Cleveland Alexander. Old Pete hasn't got the price of a bleacher eat these days and he ' never' was ' much' on going' around and cadging pa.sses. At the moment his assets consist of a plaque in baseball's hall of fame, at Cooperstown, N. Y.,' but that's not the kind of thing you take around the corner and swap for bread and shelter. He was doing all right, asking ask-ing no favors and taking the . breaks good and bad as they came until all of them turned bad. Organized baseball base-ball never could find a place for him after his buggy-whip right arm lost its snap, hut there's no use blaming organized organ-ized baseball for that. Old Pete never pretended to be a man who said no when somebody some-body suggested just one more round. You probably know what happened hap-pened to him after he lost his last big league job. ' He went with a House of David team for a while, pitching a couple of innings each day around the tank town circuit. The sinew and muscle in a pitch ing arm won't lost forever, and there came a time when old Pete couldn't even go two innings against the semi-pros. Two years ago I walked to a museum on 42nd street and found Old Pete still in these pitching for his coffeee and cake money He was .selling memories to the customers . at a nickel a head. They drifted from the booth of a card trickster to the place where a woman was being sawed in half and then to a tiny stage where Old Pete ,in a wrinkled brown suit, was making a nervous, hesitant hesi-tant speech about the most shining shin-ing moment in his great career. He was telling them about the seventh game of the 1926 world series. "Well," he said, "I guess you know I was with the Cardinals and we had won three in the" series and the Yankees had won three. "Jess Haines started the last game for us and along about the seventh inning he hurt his hand.. So they told me to go out there. Well, here was three on base and Lazxeri was at bat. I figured he 'was more nervous than I was. I worked on him kind of careful and then I got two strikes on him and figured I'd shoot the works. I threw him a hook and it broke good TUESDAY, APRIL 15, and sharp. I always figured l he missed it about six inches but anyway he was out, and you know about us winning the game and the series. Guess my time's up about" now." Old Pete had a steady audience for months, never a large audience- and pnemadA,up.,mastly iQf smaUU. boys who waited spell-bound from show to ' show to hear him tell again how he fanned Lazzeri in the clutch. But it was a living- for him and it might have led to better things, but just then Old Pete got the worst break of all.. He got sick and the doctors told him he would have to quit work and go to a hospital. More or less by accident, some of his friends found out about it and began collecting col-lecting money to give him 'a lift across hard times. ; , Now he is out r of the hospital, hos-pital, still weak and not quite ready to go back to work. The hills are not knee deep, but there are plenty of them. Old Iete didn't ask me to do anything about it and I'm not urging: you to do anything ' about it, but if a dime or a dollar Is burning a hole In your pocket the man to send it to is Dan Parker, the Daily Mirror, New York City.
