McConnell was the only Jacket able to garner more than one hit. He rapped out singles in each of the fifth and seventh innings. Huff man. Worthman. Highland an<f Heller were the others to secure base-hits for the locals. Trailing. 3-1. the Jackets came back in the fifth inning to tie the score at three-all. when singles by McConnell, Worthman. and Highland and a Bryant error pushed over two Decatur runs. A seventh inning rally was routed when the heavy end of the tn>‘.ting list failed to follow McConnell's single, going down one-two-three. Zimmerman.

PHILLY TEAMS LEAD MAJORS ON FIRST DAY Phillies Win Double Header; A’s Nose Senators In 10th New York. Apr. 20. — <U.R) —The baseball eeaoon is on the Philadelphia rulee the baseball world, for one day anyway. Presaging a year of surprises the Phillies and Athletics, last year s cellar teams, won their opening games and today hold undisputed sway in the major leagues for the first time in baseball annals. But by nightfall both teams will share their No. 1 bertha with others. The rest of the clubs play their openers today. With fair weather forecast, approximately 224,000 persons are expected to see today's seven games. The Phillies and Bees, who played a double-header yesterday, are idle. Today's games and probable crowds: American League Washington at New York 50,000 Boston at Philadelphia 15,000 Cleveland at Detroit 38,000 Chicago at St. Louis 15,000 National League New York at Brooklyn 40,000 St. Louis at Cincinnati 36,000 Pittsburgh at Chicago 30.000 Evidence that baseball is in for a highly prosperous year was furn ished by yesterday's two openers. A total of 66,063 attended the games—33,ooo at the Athletics-Sen-ators at Washington and 33,063 at the morning and afternoon games between the Bees and Phillies at Boston. President Roosevelt threw ovt the first ball at Washington and did not leave until the last man was out in the 2 hour and 45 minute game. Stellar work by a rookie battery team. Al Williams from Atlanta and Earl Brucker from Portland, enabled the A’s to win 4-3 in 10 innings. Brucker, 30, a former manager, doubled in the tenth off Joe Cas- ' carella to send in Bob Johnson, who had walked, with the winning run. Williams, a big, strapping right-hander, relieved Edgar Smith, another rookie who grew wild, in the third inning and held the Senators to 4 hits in 7 2-3 innings to win his major league debut. The Phillies positively kicked over the traces, even if it was against the Bees, by winning ‘ro games, 2-1 and 1-0. They won the first game in 11 innings on a homer by outfielder Morris Arnovich. Wayne Lamaster, who came into the game as a relief pitcher, re- ■ ceived credit for the victory. Ducky Walters outdueled Danny Macfayden in a tense pitching battle to give the Phils the second game. The Phils’ winning run : came on an infield error, Leo Norris’ eingle, and an infield out. Wally Berger, Bees' hard-hitting outfielder, fractured a finger working out before the second game, and was unable to play. He may be idle a few days. The outlook for the world champion Yankees was brighter : today. Joe Di Maggio, sensational 11 outfielder who had his tonsils and

I adenoids removed Friday, left the j hotspital yesterday. The operation; was intended to relieve the pain ■ in Di Maggios throwing arm. “I expect to be playing in two weeks.” Di Maggio said. First baseman Lou Gehrig, who has been wearing a splint on a painfully bruised finger of his lett ; hand and out of action for several days, will be in action against the Senators today, protecting his consecutive game record now at 1,808. He hasn't played a full game in a week. I In a last minute effort to bolster their reserve strength the Chicago White Sox purchased infielder Lou Berger from Cleveland. He'll be used as a utility man. De1 troit aiso made a belated deal, buying outfielder Babe Herman from Cincinnati. Now that Herman’s in the fold, only two holdouts are left, pitcher Red Ruffing of the Yanks and first baseman Dolt Camilli of the Phillies. Yesterday's hero: Bucky Walters, Phillies, who celebrated his 27th birthday by holding the Bees to four hits, and winning, 1-0. The Bees got a man past first in only the fourth inning when Mayo and Di Maggio singled. 0 * Today’s Sport Parade | (By Hanry McLemore) New York, Apr. 20.—(U.R) —When Bob Feller signed his name to a ' SIO,OOO contract, thus completing his rise from farm boy to baseball star, he may well have revolutionized the upbringing ot' boys in this country. If you have read young Feller's life story — and you could hardly have missed it, because it's been published in everything, including braille — Papa Feller is the man responsible for Bob's major league contract. Bob was given a baseball for a rattle, cut his teeth on an old glove, and wore a sliding pad instead of rubber pants. iSoou as Bod was old enough to stand Papa Feller took him behind the • barn, stuck a baseball in his chubi by fist, and said: i "Start a chunkin', son. And i keep on a chunkin' until you got everything Matty had.” , And for 17 years that's just -about all Bod did, with Papa Feller , as catcher. Everything worked ; out just as Papa Feller had plan- ; ned. Bob became a great pitcher, , was signed by a major team, and i now is wallowing in gold and head- - lines. And Papa Feller sits on the > front porch with his feet on the bannisters, smoking cigars as I black, if not as big, as pythons, s My scouts in the farming dis- > tricts of the United States have j written me that Feller's success - had resulted in a sweeping change . in the upbringing of the children > in their areas. Scouts 893, writing - from the corn belt, had this to say: r “The chief activity on farms in - my area now is centered behind 1 the barns. .The land immediately i behind barns is so cluttered with - boys pitching to their parents that 'standing room only” signs are be ? ing hung out. In those families - where there are more than one i, boy mothers and daughters are be ■f ing pressed into service as back stops. As a result of this feverish I determination to develop anothet r Bob Feller, crops are being neg 1 lected, cows are being milked 1: hours behind schedule, and patch •

ed quilt and jelly production has fallen off 60 per cent." From the south, operative XXK--913 turned in this report: "Don't be surprised if this country is hit by a famine next year. Since Bob Feller came along the farmers have abandoned potatoes, corn, turnips, and tomatoes, for the development of knucklers, fade-, aways. sinkers, hooks, and fast balls. Barns behind which to practice are at a premium." In connection with the shortage of barns, operative XXK-913 suggested a sound get-rich-quick 1 scheme, and offered to let me in on the ground floor. It. is his idea to build portable barns and take them around the country, leasing them to barnless fathers with boys. I think I'll accept the offer, because the field for these barns is limitless. It isn't limited to the farming country. Right here in New York there must be thousands ot parents withodt barns, who are having to practice their boys behind skyscrapers, beneath elevat-j ed pillars, and alongside delicatessen shops. And Papa Feller has' proved that this isn't the right setting. A red barn is the one sure setting. I believe these barns, with a Rhode Island red rooster sell like hot cakes. If the chicken thrown in free for a target, would got killed by a knuckler or a spitter that would be all right, too., because take it from me there are few finer dishes than a Rhode Island red rooster, smothered in Tbone steaks.

MAY FORECLOSE ON SCHOOL DEBT St. Mary’s College Is Threatened With Foreclosure San Francisco. Apr. 20.— (U.R) — Foreclosure action was threatened today against St. Mary's college, which produced the "Galloping Gaels" of the football world under the direction of Coach Edward (Slip) Madigan. The school of only 380 enrollment has an outstanding bonded debt of $1,370,500, and bondholders said they had received no payments in three years. The bondholders' protective committee recommended last night that the trustee foreclose on the : bonds and sell the property covered by The mortgage. Chairman F. iF. Janney said the trustee, the Central Bank of Oakland, would act as it saw fit on the recommendation. The school defaulted on Its bonds July 1, 1934. The bonded debt was incurred when the school was moved in 1928 from Oakland > to the Moraga Hills. St. Mary's is one of the oldest ’ | Catholic colleges of the Pacific coast. It was founded in San Francisco by Archbishop Alemany in 1863. It was moved to Oakland in 1889. An attempt was made last ' month to meet the obligations. ; College officials offered a settle- •! ment on the basis ot 50 cents on i 1 the dollar. Bondholders rejected ’ ; the offer. 1 Brother Albert, president of the college, the youngest cellege presi-

1 dent In the country, has said that reports that the college was In a bud financial position were "gross- ‘ ly exaggerated" and that the condition of the college was the best in many years. Foreclosure action was said to have been taken when college officials refused to include football receipts in an agreement govern-' ing the management of college 1 funds. | ■ -o Ticker Is installed For Baseball Scores I Paul Brlede, proprietor of the' City Confectionery here, has in-1 stalled a Western Union ticker during the major league baseball season, which opened officially yes- =
