Hurling Stars Fare Badly In Season Openers New York. April 11. (VP) Except for an exceptional g<*nt nam-, e<| Hal Newhotiser, basebail's bigshot pitchers would have heen just as happy today if the season could have started without an opening day. Newhouwer. the Detroit ace, using that same old left handed magic that has brought hlin RO j victories in the lust three season, shut out the Browns at St. Ixniis. 7 to 0. on four hits. It was Ills 13th straight victory over the Browns and was achieved with a minimum of effort after his mates gave him a 5 to 0 lead in the second inning. He struck out five and only one Brownie. Vem i Stephens, got an extra base hit. a double. But Just look what happened to the other major league liurlers ! ho won 20 or more games last <-i*ason. There were seven and all but one of them. Dave Ferrlss of the Red Sox. drew an opening ilay assignment. And except for Newhouser, all were batted out before the finish. At Cleveland, an all-time record major league opening day crowd of 55,014 turned out, hoping to see Bobby Feller duplicate his 1940 feat pitching a no-hit. no-run game j against the Chicago White Sox. Instead they saw Eddie Ixipat. a little, lefty, pilch Chicago to a 2 to 0 victory in which Feller wasn’t •round at the finish. Ix»pat gave up six hits while Feller yielded nine. Although Feller gave up no walks for the second game in his, big league career, he also notched only three strikeouts, laipal, llkej Newhouser, capitalized on a jinx, beating Cleveland for the 10th time in 11 tries. He struck out four. At Boston, the American league champion Red Sox topped Washington. 7 to 6, but it wasn't 2**game winner T**x Hughson who got the job done. Hughson w.is a j five-inning whirlwind. hofllng Washington hitless lor that stretch, but he faded fast and rookie Harry Dorish came in to get credit for the victory.
