Cleveland and other of the major league cities stage substantial and stylish l>as>-b«ill opening*, but they aren't in a da** with Brooklyn The good Burgher* of that borough put on a show that, la many ways, won't be matched until we see what the flrst minutes mark Ing the end of the world are like And even then some of Brooklyn a stuff probably will have been borrowed Home of the sound effect*, moat likely It should reach • peak today, for more reasons than one. In the flrat plat e the Giants are the op-1 posing team and nothing so Incites a Brooklyn cititen like rhe sight of, a New York Giant. Wild Indian* could troop aero** Brooklyn bridge.: or even Martian* armed with zap- ! zap gun* without creating the atlri that the Invasion of men wearing gray flannel suit* with New York •tltc hed on their c hest* doe* Otte I might think that having seen theae same Giants year* after year the Brooklyn* would take- them in stride But sinh is not the case. Familiarity ha* really bred con- : tempt and hate iu thi* case, and >he first Giant who shows his noggin in Ebbet* field will get the same greeting, only more so, that John McGraw and his hoy* did years ago There isn't any way to describe adequately the Brooklyn greeting *o the opposing team on opening day Perhaps the beat way to convey a picture of what happen* I* to say that It offers a complete preview of IS4O models In firecracker*. cowbell*, siren*, kazoo*, razzbernea. In*nlt*. groan*, growl* i and general disorder Even the rudest Hatlleld or McCoy would consider it an impolite greeting Aa I said, the opening thia year should be the best of a long line iof good cine* Not only will the Giant* be there, hut the Brooklyn*

i will be doubly ezclted because, after many year*, they have a right to fed that thetr team has a c hance to win the National b-ague I pennant Even during those years when the Dodger* were so sorry that no choosy cat would have dragged them tn. and they finished a* clog* to the enllar aa lhey could without infringing on the Riparian right* of the Phillies, their fan* gave them rousing sup port.

RED SOX TAKE SECOND IN ROW Ba«by Hurl* Second Shutout Over Washington Senators New York. Aprtf I»—<UJO Two victories are a long wgy from a pennant but two straight shntonts shout out loud that maybe the Boston Red Sox pitching staff Isn't as feeble as the experts riding the Yankee bandwagon udged It tn be.
