BABE RUTH IS LEADING STAR ON FIRST DAY The Great Bambino Furnishes Punch To Defeat New York Giants New York, Apr. 17. -<U.P>— Dizzy Dean was crippled, baseball’s greatest pitchers failed, but Babe Ruth delivered where brighter stars failed. Thus the 1935 baseball season rode in on a cold waVe that slashed attendance by thousands and furnished a drab setting for the get-away of th© major league pennant races. But the old warrior Babe, spindle-shanked, with the expansive waist-line of middle age, rose above the handicap. He rose above Strang surroundings. the weather, rose above younger, mote brilliant players to open hLs National leagu» oire.r with a tremendous Ruthian wallop. It was No. 1 for the Babe. While his former mates, the NewYork Yankees, playing without him for the first time in 15 years, lost to the Boston Red Sox. 1 to 0, the Rabe hit a single besides his homer, drove in three runs, and furnished the power that gave the Boston Braves a 4 to 2 victory over the New York Giants. Ruth also made a running one-

hund catch that brought a roar of approval from his now admirers. The Babe's homer, with Urbanski on base, came in Un l fifth inning. when he parked one of Carl Hubbell’s screw balls in the right . field stands before 20,(•((() attraeied ’ to frigid Braves field for hl debut. At New York, the Ruth-less Yan-| kees could have used that homer. I and lefty Vernon Gomer prayed for one as he held the Rod Sox to i six hits, but lost to the two-hit ’ pitching nf Wesley Ferrell, nicked ■ only by George Selkirk, Ruth’s sm-i in right field, and Lou Geh-j . rig, Kit a double., 11 That was the outstanding pitch -ling feat of the day, and deserving of the victory which Werber's i I score on a single and Yankee nils- • j plays in the sixth provided, but the 11 misfortune of Dizzy Dean over- ■ shadowed everything the other , moundsmen did. In the first inning, third baseman '.Freddy Lindstrom of the Chicago • 1 Cubs belted one of Dean's pitches | back at him and knocked him into the hospital with a badly bruised ' 1 ankle, as the world champion St. ' Louis Cardinals lost. 4 to 3. Catcher Bahby Hartnett contributed to I the cltampions' downfall with a. homer, double, and single. The American league's curtailed ' slate was completed by another |heartbreaker —no less a heartbreak'er than Gomez' defeat —when Glenn • Myatt doubled to drive Berger home and give Cleveland a 2 to 1 victory over Buck Newsom who yielded 12 hits through 14 weary innings, while Mel Harder went . I the entire route for Cleveland and held the St. Louis Brown to eight I hits. The Philadelphia Athletics and ! f Washington Senators were snow-, ] j hound in the capital, and similar j f ill luck befell the Detroit Tigers.-q slated to begin quest of their sec- j pnd straight American league pen-, j nant at home against the Chicago! White Sox.

DIZZI SEEKS HIS REVENGE Dizzy Dean, Injured Yesterday. Wants Revenge Against Cubs I Chicago. Apr. 17. (UP) Dizzy Dean, disregarding his injured ankle, today asked Frankie Frisch, manager of the St. (amis t ui’tliniala. to let him pitch against the Chicago Cubs in the final game of the series tomorrow. Dean, who was hit on the left ankle by a line drive In yesterday's Opening game, forgot about his injury in his anxiety to end the Cubs' jinx over him. They have knocked Dean out of the box in six of his last aeven starts against them, and last year had u record of three ( victories and one defeat against ■ him. ’ 1 want to go back against those 1 Cubs tomorrow." said Dizzy, "and | show them they haven't any jinx; over me."

Dr. Weaver wanted to give Dean’s injury diathermic treat-' Iments last night, but Dizzy played i bridge instead. ’’As soon as Dizzy found out his ' ankle wasn't fractured he quit me i altogether," said Dr. Weaver.
