LEAGUE CHAMPS WIN SEASON'S OPENING TILTS Large Crowds Attend Opening Games Os Majjor League Season New York. Apr. 15. — I.U.P' —The MJiint was one down and 153 to go j today as 16 major league teams, freed from the tension of opening day. settled down to the catnpaTgn that leads far into September. Detroit's Tigers and Chicago's Cobs, picking up where they left ■ off last year, rested atop their respective circuits along with some of their keenest pennant rivals and several second-division certainties. The 1936 openers, which saw the Cubs. Tigers and a few other teams moving along in mid-season form, were played before nearly 207,000 spectators. It was one of the most successful opening days in baseball history—one which augurs well for the return to peak-year prosperity of the national pastime. As was expected, the first games of the season in most instances failed to shed much light on where the strength is this year. Extremes were registered in both leagues—ranging from freehitting. sloppily played games, to pitchers' duels that weren't decided until late innings. Two four | hit games were pitched in the Am-' erican league and one in the National. Only three American teams—Detroit, New Y’ork and Cleveland — I played errorless ball. The rest made a total of 10 blunders. In the National league, only Boston and Philadelphia played perfectly The other teams contributed IS misplays. The National league captured the day's hitting honors with nine homers, two of them contributed by Frank Demaree of the Chicago Cubs. Only three circuit blows were recorded in the American. No. 1 game of the day—opened
