The-Dodgers played before the day's largest larg-est crowd 42,653 at the Polo -Grounds and licked the Giants, making their debut under Manager Mel Ott, 7-5. The Yankees " put on a classic performance in whitewashing white-washing the Senators, 7-0, before 1 Vice-President Wallace at a ca-.paflty ca-.paflty Crowd of 31,000 at Washington. Wash-ington. Williams in Spotlight u. ' 4 While .the Yanks and Dodgers carried off the. team laurels, Ted Williams, the . 20th player In all major league history 4 to bat ,400, stole the individual honors. Tall Ted slashed out a home nut: and two singles to lead the Red Sox to an 8 to 3 triumph over the pathetic 'Athletics. On his first trip to the plate Williams, who was saved from the army . by a presidential draft reclassification from 1A to 3A, slammed out a homer with two mates aboard. Williams drove in a total of five runs, tops for the day. But for Williams' hitting feats the glory would have shone " on ancient Red Ruffing, 37-year-old Yankee righthander. Big Red, starting his 18th major league season, sea-son, let the Senators down with three singles and fanned five. In addition Ruffing- made two hits and drove in two runs. ' Anybody who saw the Dodgers beat the Giants In the opener wont have to wonder why they are caned can-ed the "Glorious Bums.' They plastered Carl Hubbell for - four runs in the first inning, ran up a 7-0 lead, and then almost blew it They made five errors afield and resembled at times the married mar-ried men playing the single men. Do If Camilli iet a grounder., go between his legs, Billy Herman Dooted a roller, Arky Vauhan threw one a mile over Camilll's head, Pete Reiser dropped., an fcasy fly and Joe Med wick kicked a single into a double. But the Giants couldn't hit enough in the pinches and left 10 men stranded. Johnny Mize, the Giants' S100, 100 first baseman, hit .a tremen sous homer in the seventh off Curt Davis with two on but It wasn't enough. Johnny Alien came to Curt Davis' rescue and put the fire out, fanning Mize and Hank Leiber in the ninth. Pee Wee Reese's homer with one on off Hubbell proved, the winning .

April 15 (U.R) The baseball season. iS officially cpen and for the first time I fully realise- the erfect the game exerts ex-erts on public morale. No matter how bad the news on the front page, a man may now turn to the major league standings and reassure reas-sure himself that the American way still is safe both Philadel-phlas Philadel-phlas are right back in the cellar. cel-lar. . . . oOo There were 42.653 of the faith ful on hand at the polo grounds w waicn tne lilants renew hosUl ities with the Dodeers antl 42.643 of them swear" they blundered in to the circus by mistake.

The folks who watched the Yanks -let the Nats down with no una ana wiree mis are now agreed that if any has the right w oe outraged it is Hudson. ' The opening contests were -re plete with errors. Jimmy Brown's aouDie neipea the Cubs to whip the Cards, Eddie Joost's muff helped the Pirates trim the Reds and Vaughan's wild throw didn't help the Dodgers. But the most errors were committeed at Chi cago. Some 9,879 fans paid to watch the White Sox engaged the st. Louis Browns. In many parks the fans found ushers equipped as air .raid wardens, ward-ens, walls plastered with warnings to remain calm and scorecards containing Information as to what should be done in an emergency. as one little lady mused while gazing at Schnozzle Lombard!, the only sign they forgot to post was that old favorite "kindly do hot feed the animals." , t- i c: c;-.. When , Babe Ruth released his annual pennant forecasts most customers were nonplussed to find tnat the au-time great, tabbed Pittsburgh to carry off the honors in the -National league. .Now it appears the Babe was tipped to inside Information Frankle Frisch probably told him that he had no intention of using Hamlin ana meips. The saddest figure of the day Was ' Mel Ott. Before th came was an inning , old, the new Giant manager had made so many trips from his right field to confer with his pitcher that he wore t a path in the crass.

Our Theodore may be a S-A in the army, but there is no Indication that he will be anything but A-l in Boston's heart. The first major league manager to be bounced from the park was Black Jimmy Wilson, who was ousted In the fourth inning of Chicago's game with St. Louis. To most observers, the action was apt. How can Wilson possibly live with a team like the Cubs without with-out being instilled with an overwhelming over-whelming desire to get away from it all. One of the day's notable events was the rousing victory, which the Cleveland Indians banged out for their boy manager, Lou Boudreau. This support comes as a major surprise perhaps the biggest produced pro-duced by the inaugural. Without the services of Bob Feller, it was believed the Indians couldn't give Boudreau anything but lov4 baby.
