NEW YORK ONLY UNBEATEN TEAM FOR NATIONAL Major League Teams Switch Cities Eor Second Openers >' New York. Apr. 17. -<U.R>— The I New York Giants held undisputed I possession of the National league , had ami the Boston Rod Sox ghar- > ed the top berth in the American ) league with Chicago's White Sox > as opening day was celebrated toI day in parks of eight teams who , helped rivals ring in the 1936 seas- > on on Tuesday. II The first schedule shift pairs the teams as follows for three game > series: American League Boston at New York. Washington at Philadelphia. i Chicago at Detroit. I Cleveland at St. Ixmis. ) National League ) Philadelphia at Brooklyn. ) New York at Boston, i Cincinnati at Chicago. > St. Units at Pittsburgh. The Giants boast the best rec-1 > ord of the new season — three straight triumphs over the Brook-; lyn Dodgers. The Red Sox and 1 White Sox, each of whom had one , game postponed, have won two and lost one. The Dodgers. St. Ixniis . Browns and Philadelphia Athletics have yet to win a game in a campaign that has been featured by some of the sloppiest early season play in years. The bad weather most teams encountered during the training season has been reflected in the last three days. At this time last year. 16 games had been played. OvT. that per- . iod there were six homers in the American league and 13 in the National. In 21 games this season., 10 homers have been rapped out in the American and 21 in the Nat ! ional — vindicating that the pitch-| ! ers. loath to throw curve balls or ' turn on the speed tor fear they will hurt their arms, are far from peak condition. The number of errors is more than double that of last year. After three days a year ago. there had been 32 misplays in both leagues. This year there have been 66. Yesterday's warfare, which saw the Giants extend their string to three straight, was featured by sloppy play and high hitting games. Eleven errors were record-1 -d in each league. Tell teams < made tetn or more hits; five hom-| ers were hit in tne National and I two in the American, where only two games were played. The Giants smacked into the lead in their circuit with a 7-6 victory over the Dodgers. Dick Coff-1 man. American league castoff, won his second straight game in a relief role. The Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. 5-3. Larry French outpitched Paul Dean, giving the Dean brothers two defeats in two games. The Cincinnati Reds won their first game of the season, 7-4. over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillies whipped Boston, 7-5. The Boston Red Sox kept their American league slate clean with a costly 10-4 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics. .Manager Joe Cronin fell over Pinky Higgins at second base in the second inning and fractured his thumb in two places. He will be out for about three weeks. The New York Yankees whipped the Washington Senators. 6-5, for their first victory of the campaign.
