Pair Os Vets Lead Braves, Cards To Wins By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer ' Stan Musial and Warren Spahn —twd baseball gaffers—acted like old fire horses when they heard the bell sound for the opening of the 1957 campaign. Musial, now 36 years old and in his 17th season with the St. Louis’ Cardinals, collected four hits in four official at-bats in pacing the Redbirds to a 13-4 victory over the Cincinnati Redlegs. Spahn, who celebrates his 36th birthday Saturday and pitched his first major league game with the old Boston Braves back in 1942, got Milwaukee off flying by hurling a four-hit, 4-1 triumph over the Chicago Cubs. A crowd of 32,554 at Cincinnati watched the Redlegs absorb their worst opening day defeat in 46 years. And Musial emerged as the biggest culprit, whacking out two singles and two doubles as the Cardinals bombarded four Cincinnati pitchers for 17 hits. Herm Wehmeier went -the route for St. Louis, scattering eight safeties. Rush Bears Brunt * Spahn struck out five and issued only one walk in picking up right where he left off last year, when he was the Braves’ leading pitcher with 20 victories. However, he wasn’t the whole show at Chicago. The Braves scored all their runs off Bob Rush in the sixth inning, with Johnny Logan’s homer and_ Ed Mathews' triple the key blows. In other National League openers, Gino Cimoli’s 12th i n n i n g homer gave the Dodgers a 7-6 victory over the Phillies and the Pirates trounced the Giants, 9-2. The Yankees opened defense of their American League pennant by edging the Senators, 2-1, while the Red Sox turned back the Orioles, 4-2, the Athletics downed the Tigers, 2-1, and the White Sox clipped the Indians, 3-2, on an 11th inning single by Larry Doby.

Robin Roberts, who set a major 1 league record last year by serving uf> 46 home run balls, opened the new season with three “gopher” pitches. In addition to Cimoli’s I winning blast, Roberts disappoint- ; ed a record Phillies’ opening tum--1 out of 37,667 by giving up homers to Don Zimmer and Gil Hodges. . After Hodges’ clout tied the score at 6-6 in the eighth, Clem ; Labine took over for Don Newcombe, who gave up nine hits and I all the Phils’ runs and Clem allowed only two safeties the rest • of the way. Tough In Clutch The Pirates scored six runs — five of them unearned—in the ■ eighth inning while routing the Giants before 33,405 fans — the largest opening day crowd at i Forbes Field in nine years. Bob Friend gave up 10 hits, but was tough in the clutch as New York : stranded 11 men. A crowd of 38,i 227—the largest opening day turn-out-watched the Red Sox down the Orioles at Baltimore. Tom Brewer, who beat the Orioles four times last season, received credit for the victory although he needed relief from Ike Delock in the eighth inning. A ninth-inning single by Andy Carey with the bases loaded carMUfci the .Yankees to their opening victory and broke up a tight pitching duel between Whitey Ford and Chuck Stobbs. Ford allowed only’ six hits while the Yanks nicked Stobbs for seven, including a sev-enth-inning homer by Yogi Berra. Tom Morgan/ a Yankee castoff, pitched four-hit ball for the A’s against the Tigers. Gus Zernial homered off Frank Lary in Hie sixth and the A’s tallied their decisive fun in the seventh on a single by Jim Pisoni, a sacrifice by Morgan and another single by Joe Demaestri. Doby’s key blow for the White Sox broke up another good pitching duel between Billy Pierce and the Indians’ Herb Score. Luis Aparicio opened the 11th with a single, moved up on Nellie Fox’s sacrifice, and scored on Doby’s single to center. Score struck out 10 men and gave up only seven hits, but issued 11 passes.

Police Dog Makes Escape Tuesday At City's Dog Pound An escaped “convict” is at large in the city following a breakout some time yesterday, city street superintendent Bernard Clark said this morning. The “convict,” a police dog taken in custody and plated in the city dog pound over the weekend by the city police, was last seen walking away from the pound. Two inch wide fence boards were used td construct the pound, and wire has not yet been placed around the inclosure. The dog, a very large, powerful animal, chewed its way through the fencing, and left through the hole. The hole will be repaired and the fence reinforced with wire this week. . The police dog is the second canine to be placed in the new pound. The first, a small pet, was found entangled in a fence, and was placed there until the owner, found by the number on the dog’s tag, could be notified. The city ran out of dog licenses two weeks ago, and more were ordered from the state prison, which makes them. They are expected to arrive today or tomorrow.
