usual question around Washington at this time is which arm Mr Truman will use to flip the opening pitcher He can use either —and has in past openers Steel industry leaders accuse the chief executive of favoring the left wing Other critics think he's leankig toward the right This year he could bear out both predictions because he will toss out two balls One is a ball sent to Nats' owner Clark Griffith by James Metcalf of Sacramento Calif The ball win be tossed back and later be placed in baseball's Hall of Fame at Cooperstown N Y Then Mr Truman will toss out a new ball and the Red Sox and Nats will scramble for it The Chief executive started out as a southpaw But sometimes he has thrown One year he threw out two "first" pitches — policy one with each arm A sellout crowd of 30000 or

Openers By WILL HARRIDGE 18-hpl- President of the American League CHICAGO (AP) — Generally high fan interest as reflected by attendance at exhibition games new ownership and leadership at St Louis and a fine crop of new players — these are some of the reasons I feel will produce another good season for the American league in 1952 There is no question in my mind that under President Bill Veeck Manager Rogers Hornsby the fnd Louis Browns will assume a new role in our approaching 52nd season With virtually a new club directed by a new manager who has demonstrated his ability the Browns are certain to attract wide interest and possibly play a big part in determining the final outcome of the pennant race Another reason I believe our league is better and stronger than it was in 1951 is the fact that winter trades and the fine performance of several rookies during the spring training season has resulted in better balance for the whole circuit For more than a decade close races have been the rule rather than the exception in the American league I believe this coming year may see another flag fight which could go down to the final days of the schedule Attendance at the spring exhibi tion games has proved over the years a fairly reliable yardstick in This estimating season crowds spring the trial games in several cities established new park records while the advance sale of tickets both for the openers and for season boxes has been unusually good in all American league cities 1 feel certain we have an excellent chance of reaching if not surpassing the 1951 attendance of almost nine million fans New faces in the lineups always interest the fan and 1952 could produce a number of youngsters destined to be standouts New comers such as Andy Carey and Harry S chaeffer of New York Hector Rodriquez of Chicago Jim Fridley of Cleveland Francisco Campos of Washington and Clint Courtney of St Louis and Jim Pier-saof Boston to mention only a few will get close in spections from fans around the circuit Next Tuesday's opener should usher in another fine year for major league baseball one which should hold the interest of fans to closing day e d 21-10- 18-1- 0 11-14- 18-1-
