One-Hitter By . I | .r| Lemon Features Tuesday Games NEW YORK, UP -v It was a memorable Opening day in wintry weather where the hitters froze up and the fans just froze. ; The pitching was magnificent and big Bob Lemon,: who has won more games than any hurler in the majors since 1948, appropriately set the pace with a heartthrobbing 6-0, one-hit victory over the White Sox at Cleveland. Then, just to show that all of his baseball brilliance is not contained in ;his strong right arm, he also drilled a home run. But the hitters also were on vacation elsewhere. At \ Yankee Stadium, lefty Alex Kellner of the Athletics handed the world chajnpion New Yorkers their first opening day defeat since 1947 when he blanked them on five hits. Si-O. A night game in St. Louis oroduced a third shutout when yeteran Virgil (Fire) T ucks, in his first appearance for the St. Louis Browns, set down the Detroit Tigers with four hits, 10-0, as his mates pounded ex-teammate \ Ned Garver and three other Tiger hurlers. . \.\ (' In Philadelphia, crafty Larry Jansen of the Giants pitchedi a slick six-hitter to win... 4-1, as Bobby Thomson set him up. to: a first inning lead with a two-rbn homer off ace Robin Roberts. \ Rookie Bill Bruton, two days in the majors and two days a hero, hit a 10th inning homer in the inaugural at Milwaukee to give lefty Warren . Spahn of the Braves a’ six-hit. 3-2; victory . over Gerry Stalky of the Cardinals, who also yielded but six hits. It was a relief chore that took the prize in Brooklyn and. as was the, case countless times in 1952. gvas turned in by big Joe Black, pitched two-hitx ball for six ings in an 8q triumph over the 'Pirates that featured a three-run (homer by Roy Campanella and a two-run route clout by Duke Siflder (that broke an automobile show Window across the street from Ebbets Field. At Chicago. Bob Rush gained a sharp eight-hit, 3-2 victory over the Reds when Randy Jackson doubled home two runs in the eighth jnning off lefty Ken Raffensberger, who generally subdues Chicago without, trouble. But it was “Lulu” by Lemon that gave fans the most to K talk about. . Tlie no-hit pressure went off In the first inning when Minnie Minoso singled cleanly but after Chicago got nothing, hitting only three balls out of. the infield. Lemon, who had a no-hitter ip 1948, just missed duplicating the achievement of his team mate ? Bobby Feller, who pitched the only opening day no-hitter in 1940, also atgainst the White Sox. All Milwaukee was “rootin’ for, Bruton” as the Negro kid slammed the victory homer in the 10th to go along with his first day’s shin-i ."T \ ' j; ‘ \ MAJOR NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pct. G.B.
