For Beery it was a Roman holiday. Starting out by whiffing three straight Roanoke batsmen.; he kept whizzing his fast ha'l down the groove until he had! fanned 18 men and carried away what is thought to be an all-time record for a Jacket hurier He allowed but three free tickets and hit one batter. The locals, encouraged by the hurling of Beery, played heads-up baseball, scoring five runs in their half of the sixth on but two hits. Bleeke, Brodbeek McConnell and Worthman dij all the hitting for the locals. Brodbeek, and McConnell getting one hit and the others two each. Roanoke garnered seven hite off the local twirler, but three of ] these came in the final inning, when he was coasting through with a seemingly safe lead.

HURLING DUELS MARK OPENING DAY CONTESTS Five Os Six Opening: Day 1 Games Featured By Tight Hurling ( New York. Apr. 21 U.PJ With 1 ill" promised land way off in OcI tober, the major league clubs settled down today to win ball games in the 154-gante grind. Opening day celebrations, with waving flags, marching bands and celebrities tossing the first ball in from a box seat, are over for ,-lgltl clubs. Tile other eight cluiis will stage their hometown openers Friday. Kvidence that baseball is 111 for » lug box-office year was furnish- j -d by yesterday's six openers, j which drew a total of lal.uib per-; sons. Last year's eight opening j day crowds totalled 204.543. This' year's average was 36.179 com- 1 pared with 35.568 last year The Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox rushed to the lead in the American league, supplanting yes-1 terday s "early" leader, the Philadelphia Athletics. The Cardinals,! champion Giants, and Pirates won their openers to join the Phillies, a double-winner Monday, as National league pacemakers. The big features of opening day 1 were: 1 Cy Blanton's 5-hit game' which gave the Pirates a 5-0 vie- 1 tory over the Chicago Cubs. 2 Dizzy Dean's masterful pitching with men on base which enabled the Cardinals to win a 10-inning duel front Cincinnati. 2 0. 3. Gerald Walker's "grand slam" —homer, triple, double and single — which featured Detroit's t-3 triumph over Cleveland. 4 A1 Simmons' homer and two singles which gave Washington a 3-2 triumph over the world champion Yankees. 5. Hal Schumacher's 5-hit performance which outdueled Van Mungo and gave the Giants a 4-3 victory over Brooklyn. Tight pitching figured in five of the six opening games. Three of them were decided by one run. 1 two were shutouts and one went into extra innings. The Boston Red Sox, laying down a barrage of 18 hits, shelled the Athletics, for the only lop-sided victory. 11 \ to 5. Wesley Ferrell was the Re j , Sox victorious pitcher. For the third successive year I defeat clamped its clammy hands on Lefty Gomez, Yankee southpaw. The Senators beat him, 3-2. j Last year they beat him. 1-0. The year before the Red Sox beat hint 1-0. Monte Weaver, the old mathe- ‘ matics professor from the Univer- ' sity of Virginia, played schoolmaster to the Yanks, who couldn't add up hits to runs. j' They made 10 hits. In the \ third inning they made four straight hits, but made only one run. In the seventh they made ' three hits and a walk, but failed to score. Lou Gehrig played in 1 his 1809th game, connecting for : two doubles and a single, otminons drove in two runs and started the winning rally. Detroit beat out Cleveland, 4-3,! when old Goose Goslin. coming onto 37, beat Bad News Hale's throw to the plate in the fourth inning for the winning tally. El-{' don Auker outhurled Mel Harder,

Paul Waner's slide Into second in the first inning of Tuesday’s opening game at VVrtgley Field in Chicago was for naught. The Pirate rightfielder had singled and was forced at second on Dickshot's groundi er, which Hack stopped and tossed to Billy Herman, Cub's second baseman. The Pirates won 5 to 0.
