April 16.—(UP) — Tie 1951 major league baseball season opens today, aqd dfficial Washington declared an holiday to see President Truman throw out the first pitch. R was an even het that rain will mar the opening day festivities —, and perhaps wash them .out com/jslet ely. The weafher bureau said Washington is on the edge of a rainstorm area and may get steady showers throughout the, morning and occasional cloudbursts before and after gameltime. ' < 1 - /she senate conveniently declared ap open on its schedule, the supreme court promised to hustle ] through its Poon tAeeting and a! befy of bureaucrats' headed for their ‘grandmothers funeral" to se4 the world champion New York Yankees play the Washington Senators in the American league opener at 2 p.m. (CST). ' The Cincinnati Reds played the Pittsburgh Pirates at Cincinnati to open the National league season. This is Mr. Truman's sixth starting assignment as an opening any pitcher— Two shy of; the record set by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Presidents s have been performing this ceremony since William Howard Taft originated it in 1910. The-Yankees amazed the baseball | world by announcing they willyßart three rookies in their lirieup—pitcher Tom Morgan. year-old outfielder Mickey Mantle and thirdbaseman Git McDougald. l They mark a\mllesions. This will be the first time 1 in a generation that any rookie—much ileSs three —has start- , ed on opening .for the perennial <hampion Yankees. li|ft-hander Bob Klizava pitches for ‘Washington.

Louis Seeking Fall Fight With Gharles Detroit. April i 16.—(UP)—Joe lamils, revealed tojday that he will give up his: campaign to regain the heavyweight championship unless champion Ezzard Charles agrees to a fall title fight. "i’ll just' quit trying to win back tne title if 1 can't 'get Charles in the ring With me by at least November, I don’t figure J can keep a gobd edge on past that Jime,” lA>uisJsaid. The Browij Bomber spent yesterday in the hospital with a bad (Ohl but expects to be back on his j feet for about with Otnelio. Agra- ! monte May 2 at Olvmbia Stadium ’ The b/it is intended as a tune-up for a isbeond Charles scrap. | "Winning back the championship still meins everything'to me, but I’m not getting any younger," Louis said. The former heavyweight king has. made no secret of his disap pointment at the postponement of his proposed June tussle with Charles when? the latter suffered a mangled left ear against Jersey Joe Walcott last March. “I was so |;et, on lighting him tight away that I agreed to only 20 percent of the gate." Lbuis disclosed. ‘ \ Present negotiations for a second \ Louis-dhartes bout have bogged down because Marshall Miles. Louis’i manager. insists on a 3<A3O spit which uh’arleal manager. Jack M|ntz. won't’accept. ’ Miles arguejs that' Lop is could l ave afforded to take thb short 1 nd of the purse if t|ie fight had been held this’ spring, but that the delay is costing Joe money.
