Show V Cougars Slate Intra-Squad Tilt Wednesday As Part Of Y Day Athletic Activities A preview of things to come! will be shown Wednesday afternoon after-noon in the Y stadium when Coach Eddie Kimball of BYU divides di-vides his Cougars into two squads and stages an informal practice game as one of the features of "Y" day.- This game will give the loyal Cougar fans a chance to see what Eddie has been doing during the last two and one half weeks of spring training and also give a New Deal Marks First Week Of Play In Majors By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, April 22 (U.R) After one stirring- week of the 1947 baseball season there was a distinct impression today that there has been a "New Deal" in each major league with the National blossoming out as the slugging circuit and the American Ameri-can as the hotbed of fine pitching. pitch-ing. If that trend should continue con-tinue it would be one of the most startling developments of modern times since the American supposedly has been the haven of heavy hitters hit-ters and the National traditionally tradi-tionally has had the corner on the better pitchers for more than a quarter of a century. Yet in games to date, the National league batsmen have hit 42 homers or more than - three times the 13 four-base wallops that have been tallied in the "American. Moreover, the National has gone in for heavy scoring and in 23 games played to date has amassed a total of 237 runs for an average of 10.3 runs per game, or better than five per team. In the American there have been only 113 runs scored in 18 games, an average of 6.28 per game or a little more than three per team. On the pitching side, the American league stands out with five shutouts by Ed Lopat and Johnny Rigney of Chicago, Hal Newhouser and Virgil Trucks of Detroit and Allie Reynolds of New York. There have been but two National league blanking jobs by Rip Sewell of Pittsburgh and Hank Wyse of Chicago. There was just a hint that things were getting back to normal nor-mal yesterday, however, in the only two major league games played. In the National, Wyse of the Cubs blanked Cincinnati's surprising sur-prising sluggers, 3 to 0 on three hits and had a one-hitter until the ninth. Lennie Merullo, usually the weakest hitter in the Cub lineup, led the attack with four of the 10 hits collected off Rookie Kent Peterson and Elmer Riddle. Fav Lamar-no got two of the Red hits. Newhouser had a rare wild streak which got him into trouble in the first inning when he beaned Outfielder Ralph Hodgin, walked three batters and gave up one hit as Chicago scored three times and went on to beat the Detroit ace, 6 to 4. Hodgin was taken to a Detroit hospital suffering from a brain concussion. He is expected to be out of the lineup for some time. The Baseball Standings drA mm, t& . AMERICAN EAGL'E W. L.
