One Game Today Launches Major League Season By FRED DOWN United JPress Sports Writer President Eisenhower lends his famous grin — and apparently his equally-famous luck with the weather — to baseball today to coast-to-coast season off to a flying start. Long-range forecasts of rain and cold weathdr in many of the nine, cities involved in openers today «nd Tuesday were revised to indicate there would be clear skies and temperatures between 50 and 60 degrees. Fair and mild weather was promised for Washington, D.C., today when Eisenhower makes his ceremonial first pitch. Then the Boston Red Sox’ Frank Sullivan and the Senators’ Pedro Ramos take up the pitching duties before a sellout crowd of more than 28,000. Whether slugger Ted Williams would be in.the Red Sox’ lineup remained questionable. He is suffering with a severely twisted left ankle. Open Title Defenses Soma 225,000 fans are expected to flrfck to Tuesday's eight openers when the world champion Milwaukee Braves and American League champion New York Yankees begin defense of their titles and the West Coast’s long-awaited entry into big league ball becomes official. A sellout crowd of 23,600 will se the transplanted Dodgers and Giants open in San Francisco. On Friday the two new teams switch their playing site to Los Angeles were indications are that a new major league record of more than 90,000 fans will be established. The Yankees — overwhelming favorites to win a ninth pennant in 10 years under Casey Stengel—are sending Don Larsen, their 1956 World Series pitching hero, against the Red Sox’ Willard Nixon in Boston. The Yankees’ versatile Tony Kubek is sidelined with a pulled muscle in his left leg but his absence would be more than balanced if Williams doesn’t play for BostonThe Braves — with a sellout crowd of 46.000 assured at Milwaukee — will open with southpaw star Warren Spahn (21-11) opposing Bob Friend (14-18) of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Detroit at Chicago The remainder of Tuesday's program has Detroit at Chicago. Kansas City at Cleveland and Washington at Baltimore in the American League and Philadelphia at Cincinnati and Chicago at St. Louis (night) in the National. The big West Coast opener will find 21-year-old Don Drysdale, a native son, going for the Dodgers i against Ruben Gomez of San Juan, PR., and the Giants. A total of 110 reporters will cover ■thjs game. .Drysdale had a 17-9 record while Gomez had a 15-13 mark in 1957. Pleads Guilty To Reckless Driving Vernie L. Frakes of Portland, arrested Sunday by the state police, appeared in the mayor’s court this morning to answer to charge of driving while under the influence of intoxicants and reckless driving. Frakes entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of driving while under the influence and a plea of guilty to the charge- of reckless driving. The court fined him $25 and costs, totaling $40.75 and suspended his driver’s license for 90 days on the charge of reckless driving. The other charge was taken under advisement. Accountants Chapter Will Meet Tuesday The regular dinner meeting of the Fort Wayne chapter of the national association of accountants will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce. Vance A. Wadhams, senior management adviser for Price Waterhouse & Co., Chicago, will speak on the ’ - Effective utilization of a cost accounting system.’’ Wadhams is a graduate of the University of Kansas and a certified public accountant in Kansas, Wisconsin and Illinois.

Hawks Down Celtics To Win NBA Title ST. LOUIS (UP)—The St. Louis Hawks hailed Bob Pettit as their hero in capturing the National Basketball Association championship while the beaten Boston Celtics wondered today how they would have fared with Bill Russell in the lineup. Pettit racked up 50 points Saturday night as the Hawks nipped the Celtics, 110-109, here to clinch the best -of - seven series, four games to two- While Hawk fans began a wild victory celebration, Pettit sank on the bench exhausted and buried his face in a towel. The Celtics weren’t using the absence of Russell as an excuse for losing, but it was plain that they thought things would have l been different if the league s best rebounder hadn’t suffered a - chipped ankle in the semifinal i round and been unavailable for the Hawks’ series. I The Celts, behind at the quarters, 20-18, *57-52 and 83-77, rallied i in the last minutes. When the i clock showed only 16 seconds re- • maining and the score favoring the Hawks, 110-107, the Celts’ Bill • Sharman brought the ball down court for a layup. But the Hawks didn’t even try to defend, fearing a foul, a tied score and an overtime ball gafu£. When it was all over, Hawk forward Ed Macauley, once' a Cell, grinned happily. * “It’s a long time since I've been on a championship team," he said, “and it sure feels great." Cowbells clanged as Ben Kerner, owner of the Hawks, charged into the dressing room ahead of Mayor Raymond R. Tucker of St. Louis. Kerner was too excited for much comment. On the losing side, Celtic Coach Red Auerbach was philosophic. “We did the best we cOuld," he said Sharman, the Celts’ top scorer with 26 points, said Boston lost to a “great team.” But he couldn't conceal his disappointment. “You don’t mind so much if you lose by 10 or 15 points,’’ he said, “but when it's as close as this one, you can’t help looking back at the missed RESUME (Continued from page one) bus" conditions.

Red Sox Sport Top Record In Spring Gaines By JOHN GRIFFIN * United Pre** Sports Writer It’s the Boston Red Sox as the Grapefruit League baseball champions of 195 S and as for a batting champion, how can you beat a “perfect" record like that of Bosox slugger Ted Williams? The Red Sox, who have been described by Yankees' manager Casey Stengel as the rival he fears most in this year’s American League pennant chase, made 01' Case look good by winning 16 out of 22 games against majorleague opposition this spring for a .727 winning percentage. That's a comfortable lead over the brand-new San Francisco Giants, who had the secohd best record —a 21-11 won-lost record for a 656 percentage that topped all other National League teams. Better Than Yankee* And it’s a whole lot better than the losing 14-16 record of Stengel’s Yankees. The world champion Milwaukee Brswes were third in the spring standings with a .571 average, while the two Chicago clubs. Cubs and White Sox, tied for fourth at .563. And how about that Williams? Sheer perfection. He went to bat only five times all spring—socked two homers, singled once, and walked twice. An ankle injury prevented the amazing 39-year-old American League batting champion from playing more often and makes him a doubtful starter for today’s big opening game in Washington against the Senators. Os course, in sheer justice the spring training batting crown has to go to another creaking veteran —3O-year-oldGranny Hamner of the Philadelphia Phillies. Making a comeback as a third baseman, Granny whacked 29 hits in 58 at-

In addition to his 375 batting average, the slugger with the toothpick build hit 14 homers.
