By Steve Snider United Press International NEW YORK, April 18 On the eve of the other openers, the American League shapes up this way: S 1 ! )- - I By - 4 ' BOSTON, April 18 Don't look now but the American League season Is finally getting under way. Honest Injun! The boys have been for so long that some f cynics were beginning to wonder if the Americans were waiting for the Continental League to catch up with 1 them for a joint opening in 1961. '' For one solid week the National League has been monopolizing the V attention and the headlines. Warren Giles, its president sent his satellite into orbit while his opposite number, Joe Cronin, was still tinker-- : ' ing with the mechanism and wait-for more favorable weather re-- J I Thus did the Nationals ports. J ' achieve a propaganda coup of the i j JL& first magnitude. Arthur Daley it wont happen again but the damage has been done. Giles is already getting clear signals back from outer space while Cronin is listening for his first beep. 'Hiis was strictly a miscalculation. With eyes focused On California, the Nationals insisted on an early getaway. But Cronin, who hasnt yet stored away his winter overshoes, demurred. Jovial Joe has lived in Boston for so long that hes as much a New Englander as Paul Revere. April weather in the East is normally no bargain even though the balmy temperature last week made Cronin look a little balmy, too. 1 Si dilly-dallyin- g V, 1 a i I 5 g (17-13- 4 it, (22-10- x--s ' 4 rX A k 1 5 ll i NItag - K , Vv, ' ' , f (15-11- left-hand- 1 newly-acquire- PaJ-D-M- ar - Yet It should not be forgotten that one year Bill Terry brought his Giants to Boston to open against the Braves. The team arrived in a snowstorm and the entire series was snowed out Maybe it even left a lasting scar. The Giants have since fled to San Francisco and the Braves to Milwaukee. r There once was a opening which had to be halted by the umpires until the police restored order. The playersf were being distracted and harassed by frolicsome fans throwing snowballs at them. Giant-Dodge- Alden R. Lott of Salt Lake City talks about some of his European mountain climbing Swiss Honor Salt I feats after receiving membership in Swiss Alpine Club for last years accomplishments. NEW YORK YANKEES wound up last in the league on the Grapefruit Circuit with 11 21 in exhibition games . . . Bob Turley, pitching ace of 58, and Art Ditmar, best staffer of 59, had rough going though Turley showed some signs of rehe viving the first time deliv dropped his Laker -- NO WONDER the considerate Walter OMalley took his club to Los Angeles. Hes protecting his heroes from being pelted by snowballs. The only thing to hit them out there are penmes from heaven. And being an alchemist, OMalley has turned them into five dollar gold pieces. Cronins idea of the delay was sound enough. It was the good weather that betrayed him. The Americans will catch up with the Nationals eventually in this strange-lookinAustralian pursuit race but they sure did look silly as they - practiced on a treadmill for a week while the Nationals were : Zinging around the track. ' HOWEVER, the seven-dareprieve has not erased one line from the furrowed brow of Charles Dillon Stangel, whose Yankees open their campaign here on the morrow against the slightly shabby Red Sox. OF Cases problems remain unsolved, even though Billy Jurges has even graver problems. But the Bosox arent going far anyway while the Bombers do have a chance at the Lott tikes Mountain a By Tom Korologos Tribune Sports Writer Alden R. Lott is making mole hills out of mountains. The University of Utah student climbs mountain peaks faster than you can climb up your back stairs and recently the Schweizer Alpen Club of Switzerland has recognized his mountaineering techniques. LOT, OF 4108 Achilles Drive in Salt Lake City, is one of the few Americans to receive a membership in the Schweizer Club the Swiss Alpine Club. Last summer Lott decided to pennant celebrate his 21st birthday by The main problem is Hector Lopez, a man which batted taking off for Europe where in 93 runs for me and if I bench him I bench 93 runs but I he toured the continent, climb would like better fieldin outta 93 runs." ing over hills and dales when he couldnt hitch rides. In the Stengel lexicon there are two kinds of ballplayers, professionals and ribbon-clerks- . g f r t i I Lopez played third base and left field last year like a nbbon-clerk,- Not at once, of course. He had trouble enough at either position all by itself. Early in the last football season the Giant safety men rarely caught a punt that was kicked in the left field area of the Yankee Stadium gridiron. The ball would bounce off their chests and dribble clear in damaging fumbles. An unreformed baseball writer, sitting in the football press box, watched in silence for as long as he could. Then he spoke up loudly. Said he: I I Hector Who taught those guys how to catch punt V , Lopez? However, there have been rumor that Hector may be traded to the Red Sox. They can use his big bat and in left field the proximity of the fence will limit the harm he can do afield. But Theodore Samuel Williams is the more or less permanent left fielder and the rules are not so elastic that both can play the spot simultaneously, even thought it might improve the ball snaring out there. If the not adroit Lopez were traded away, Stengel would be instantly relieved of the task of trying to smuggle his 93 runs into the lineup. HE COULD IMPROVISE with Deron Johnson or Elston Howard or as a last resort Tony Kubek. Over the long run, however, the 01 Perfessor will rise or fall in two other departments, centerfield and pitching. If poMickey Mantle can come anywhere near approaching hi unceran And if far.
